It's hard to believe that it's already February. Where did January go? All of you who are in the snow I am sure that you're you are glad that January is gone! The weather has been rough the last few days here but finally cleared off for all of those football fans. It was fun to watch the game and for us a little disappointment as to who one. I am dictating this on my iPad so if there are mistakes we'll have to just excuse Siri. Both VICKI and I have had a cold or whatever is going around. Went to the doctor on Thursday thought I was okay he listen to my lungs and said it was snapped crackling and popping. I think that's probably not a good thing. Started on a round of antibiotics you ladies all keep up the good work! And I am going to try to follow in your footsteps. I will get a dog and I will walk! LOL Sandy0

I have gotten so few steps lately that my DIL wrote me a message on my Fitbit and wanted to know "Are you in a coma?" So, I think I had better get to moving!

Oh my! What a disappointing game today. I am such an old foggy, I really was not impressed by the half time show either. But I am sure there are others who not only enjoyed the game but Katy Perry as well! For me and my hubby, if I prepare healthy snacks before hand and have them ready, it works for almost any occasion. He devoures almost anything without complaint. I have thought about Downton Abbey and have come to the conclusion that it fascinates me because I have always lived in a regular middle class household. There were no servants and we were lucky to find two plates and two water glasses that were the same. Two rough and tumble brothers and a casual lifestyle...no wonder elegance and beautiful surrandings are so interesting to me. Beginning the week with lots to do and I plan to enjoy the sunset. Hope to get a tiny walk before the downpour starts. Monday, Monday, busy blue Monday!0

Morning all, not good morning. We are snowed in!0

It is better here today but many schools are closed today while others are on 2 or 3 hour delay. Our street has finally been plowed. Just going to stay in for now.
Anne and Shirley - hope you don't have to get out today.
Snow day.

Good day to all my sneaker friends. Snowing outside but as ever the fire is lit so it's lovely and cosy. My trip away was wonderfully relaxing, good fun with lots of laughs and I've returned home with stunning pink gelled nails and improved hearing after experiencing candling, something the indigenous Americans have used for hundreds of years.... fascinating! The weather was bleak in Snowdonia but we didn't mind because we spent our days in the Serenity Suite where we swam, steamed in the sauna and wallowed in a hot tub outside where we had wonderful views across the park to the snow covered hills. I've caught up with all your posts, which has taken some time, but must now get on with a few little jobs before popping out this evening to meet with friends. Anne I see you mention several UK tv programmes you follow and yes, you're right, I did say I thought Downton had gone downhill although it's great for insomnia as I nodded off halfway through every episode.
If it ever comes your way, look out for Last Tango in Halifax which delivers hilarious northern humour and has you laughing and then crying all at the same time. It's the best drama I've watched in years!
TO ALL MY FRIENDS ACROSS THE POND ~ PLEASE KEEP YOUR SNOW AND ICE TO YOURSELVES!!
Back soon

JACKIE, thanks for the TV tip. Will make a note, Last tango in Halifax. I DO miss northern raw humour and British tv. It's an ethnic thing I expect. I really TRIED with Downton abbey last night, but halfway through had to go to bed! I'm so sorry BUZZ and SHIRLEY, honest, I tried.
Your trip sounded wonderful. So beautiful, Snowdonia, whatever the weather.

Happy Birthday Jackie............confused on the time but it is still your birthday I hope!!!
Glad your trip was wonderful but glad to have you back.
Happy Birthday Chris!! Hope you have a wonderful day!!
Happy Monday!! We ended up with about 18 inches of snow, so needless to say Lisa did not have school so no Robby today. My cleaning girl doesn't care about the weather and is coming here when finished with Babe's house. Me, I am staying home and doing laundry and exercising to get rid of the food I ate yesterday.
Marie, glad to see you checking in, you must be feeling a little better. Babe has that nasty sinus thing going on as well it just lingers.
The game was exciting but the fighting ruined good sportsmanship. I personally did not like the last call of the game and blame the coach for the loss. I did split $50 with a friend in one of my pools. I thought the Brady Bunch Commercial was funny, the abuse 911 call powerful and the clydesdale and puppy commercial brought tears to my eyes. Blacklist was amazing as usual, love that show.
Have a great day everyone.

Just to say Hi

Held my own at Margaritaville today. Had a long-time planned lunch at a new Margaritaville.
I ate a TURKEY cheeseburger; very small mixed green salad with vinegar (no fries) – no dressing and a diet soda. The other person had the regular Cheeseburger in Paradise. Mine was delicious.
Schools etc were closed due to weather this morning, but I made sure I hit Planet Fitness for treadmill – since I knew Margaritaville was around the corner.
More later - just got home a little while ago:)

HAPPY BIRTHDAY JACKIE & CHRIS
Today we had to dig out again due our blizzard storm. A wall of snow around our cars
prevented me from making Yoga class today. Just as well, I had cleaning, laundry and groceries to get. I counted that as my exercise and did 30 squats from the February challenge today.
JACKIE - Your trip sounds so relaxing and I love hot tubs and hot springs for swimming out in the cold. Glad you are back and cozy in your cottage again. Sure you don't want some snow, I have plenty to share.
Bob - That lunch looks delicious and kudos on the watching the calories going light on the burger and no fries.
Last time I was at Margaritaville was last year in Jamaica. I may go again this year, we shall see.
Laura - Hi, nice to see you.
Lin - Congratulations on the steps. You and Barbie are my heroes.
Sandy - I agree about the fighting after the game, poor sportsmanship. Loved Katie Perry's show. She is always out there when it comes to entertainment. I hope you don't get that sinus infection, its nasty.
Anne - Have you dug out from storm yet? I am getting really sick of winter.
Hi to Oystereyes and Sandi!
Stay warm my friends.

Happy birthday to JACKIE AND CHRIS!♡★☆♥ Sharing your birthdays with us, thank you, we love you both

The snow removal contractors have just been and spared me from being entombed until spring. The snow came up to my knees the one time I staggered out to the garage and the garbage bin. Why was I staggering to the garbage bin? I didn't want to be trapped inside with Tabitha Daisy's kitty litter until spring. Anyway, me and my furry friend now have freedom again. Happy birthday to Jackie and Chris, and my cousin Tony back in the UK.

Anne ~ It seems Last Tango has begun airing on PBS so if you can find the first series I know you'll love it but joining at series 2 will mean you'll miss out on why these people are connected and their family secrets which will probably spoil it.
We've had more snow this evening which has now frozen solid so it's not easy getting about because the gritters don't come this way as they seem to think us folk living on the moors can cope!! Murphy's law that I sold my old 4x4 10 days ago as it would have got me around the frozen roads. This has to the the first experience of snow for George because last winter we just had rain and flooding and he's like a kid rushing about and pushing it with his nose! Of course he'd disappear if he tried that trick with the amounts of snow you're all experiencing! Have you seen how the jet stream is behaving.... wow, that's weird to say the least and just a little worrying. Greenland is getting warm in the middle of winter and we're all getting their weather. Even Spain and Italy have the snowploughs out!
Many thanks for the happy birthday wishes Sandy, Shirley, Phoebe and Anne. Another year older but what the heck, I'm still breathing and enjoying life!! Now it's time for bed so I'll say goodnight.

Thank you so much Jackie for the link you sent, I will be sure to try and find the series. Anne.0

I kind of liked the little scuffle last night....well, on U.S. PBS the episode they aired had a bit of a dust-up. I didn't watch all of it but little bits.
I was watching the Waltons on INSP again last night......another Sunday marathon.
The show definitely illustrates another way of life.

Hello friends – it’s been a day of walking, working on taxes, ordering a corrected 1099, and talking to a bank about how to proceed in an account transfer. Good thing I’m in no hurry. Every bank/institution has their own way of doing things and their own requirements.
Anne, my walks have been cleared again too. Cheerily the weather forecaster said to expect more snow for a couple of days later this week. Wahoo!
Last Tango in Halifax is on Netflix here in the states. Do you have the same options in your locality? Or are they different I wonder. So you might look there if you’re searching for a peek at the show. Unfortunately I can’t find Coronation Street anywhere online---at least not where I have access. Wonder what I'm missing?
I’ve been watching DVDs of the old TV show—the Avengers back when Emma Peel was portrayed by Diana Rigg.
Sandy – happy day off (and I’m glad the cleaning person did not take the day off). How lovely. You've really been working out a lot lately!!
Welcome home Jackie. Your luck with getting rid of that vehicle sounds much like the things that happen to me! Hope you and George stay safe. No falling on the ice!
Bob – excellent planning once again. And beautiful photos as usual. Always dedicated and above and beyond the call of duty to get to the treadmill this morning. I thought about you early this morning and said to myself----I bet he’s going to the gym today!
Marie – are you feeling any better today?
Jeri – do you like the new furniture?
Phoebe – thinking of you and your entourage.
Thanks for the stop by Laura. Cute picture and we hope to see you again soon.
Shirley – it is enough snow isn’t it! I hope you’re able to get out and around now—snow snow go away please don’t come another day.
Barbie – are you getting rain while we’re *enjoying* all the snow?
Chris – I hope you’re enjoying your birthday.
Gayla – are you feeling better now? Thinking about you.
Buzz – how was the weekend? Has Mike’s son left for home now? I hope the birthday celebration went well.

We recorded the game on our DVR so we were able to fast forward through the half time show. I was very sad at the end and didn't realize that I cared so much. Maybe it was because I knitted several hats in Seahawks colors. We had a tiny bit of rain today and temperatures in the 40's and 50's. We could use some snow, but the weatherman doesn't pay much attention to what I want. Lin, I still remember all the headaches and paperwork of settling my mother's estate and she died in 1991. I know what you're going through.
Happy Birthday, ChrisHappy Birthday, Jackie

77 in Yuma AZ today. My job has seasonal perks, lol!
it would be great if all that snow was the end of it, but I doubt it, don't you?
Marie, hope you are resting.
Stay safe and warm

25,000+ steps today0

Hello All,
Lin - Yes I like my new furniture. It needs to be broken in a bit as it is harder than I want but give it time and it will be okay. It looks fantastic. I can't believe you got in that many steps!!!!! Wow
Phoebe - 77 - oh my and we have COLD and SNOW
Shirley - Sounds like quite the storm. We stayed in Saturday and Sunday as it snowed all day and we really didn't have much to do but stay home and keep warm.
Anne - I still remember about kitty litter. I had and loved cats for many years until our youngest daughter was born -- very allergic to cats. Darn
Sandy - I saw all the hard work you did today exercising. Good for you.
Sandi - LOL That is the good thing about comparing exercise with other people. I have a STRIIV and it is not so easy to compare up to date figures but it still allows me to sync with a few friends. Very motivating for me.
Well, hello to all I missed. Going to listen to my book for awhile.
Talk tomorrow. We drive Sammy to kindergarten so it will be a full day.
Cheers
Jeri

Celery, bell peppers and yoghurt dip. We will be too busy watching the game to be disappointed in our snacks. Yea! By the way I keep hearing about the protein powders. I have never used them or tasted them. What exactly are they disposed to do?
Patsy - Some people believe you need to have lots of protein to feel full. Others believe you need protein boosts to build muscle. All kinds of theories out there and there are many protein powders.
It's just a dietary choice. Years ago I did add protein powder to my smoothies. I no longer use anything like that.
Make sense??

Morning! Busy flitting around today. At a standstill on info gathering for one of the tax returns. Not ready to start the process for my own return. Info all sent to accountant for the trusts--acknowledged--nothing else needed there until I go to sign them.
Wahoo!
Progress.
Time to walk. Hugs to all.

congratulations
