Just have to share a smile. I've received an email from Fitbit telling me I've walked the entire Hawaiian archipelago. Pity I can't get there to do it in person.......but still, imagination is a great thing!
I've already done the complete London underground system, so enormous achievements lie ahead!
ANNE, world here I come!0 -
Just want to say to Bob, FANTASTIC! Amazing journey. Congrats on the 200 pound goal.
A rainy day today, looks like a storm is brewing as we speak. Dave has left to take his mom for her
eye apt. I am still on the computer but will get off to do my work out.
Patsy - Wild bears, sounds scary. I love animals but not the wild ones when they are lose.
Marie - I hope you feel better soon. The July 4th challenge has taken a life of its own. Every time
I go to post there are 80 or more posts to read. I can't possibly read all of them, takes too much
times. I will do my best to keep up.
Lin - I have noticed you have been having trouble with your internet again. I hope you can
get it resolved, we would miss you too much. I see you are slowly getting your Dad's
estate accomplished. What a job!
Well I have to get off of here and get my work out done. Thanks for the compliments on Isaac,
he is so adorable. We are seeing him on Monday and staying overnight. I can't wait.

Congratulations Bob-I am just bouncing with joy for you!!
Time to get back to work. So happy to hear from you Shirley, Marie, Anne, Patsy and Bob (and everyone I've ignored). Need to get a few more things done indoors and then tomorrow the plan is to work out in front of my house clearing off the old vegetation from my landscape plantings. Then have to get myself scheduled to make a trip North to see what pieces of my mom's china I will sell to the replacement company as the offer is only good for 30 days. Gotta get on it!
Wishing everyone well. It is sunny and windy here today but no storms. The storms last night did so much damage.
Hugs!!

Hello All
Bob - wonderful job. And big big congratulations.
Shirley - oh so sweet
Marie - sorry you were sick
Lin - a big job. We only had my Mom's townhouse to clean up and sell and we were all consumed and exhausted from it all. Take it easy on yourself.
We've been very busy and I am continuing to have health problems. Feet, legs, sciatic and general nerve pain. Darn. Quit my physiotherapist as I think she was causing more harm than good. I am taking it very easy on myself. But, I really miss my walks and my treadmill.
We leave next Friday for Hawaii. Can't wait.
Hopefully I'll catch up later.
Cheers
Jeri

Thank you for the kind congratulation words. I honestly didn’t think I would care this much.
My wife snapped this updated photo today. [I just noticed you can see the Holter monitor around my neck LOL. Maybe I’ll tell people it is my “Rocky Balboa Muscle T” – “YO, ADRIAN! I DID IT!” OK – no one will buy that.] I might update my other page – but this will be that last “selfie” until something new happens.
Not sure if I posted this before, but earlier in the week I found my doctor office notes for November 2013 – my BMI was just over 54!
Weather here is getting a bit better…should be in the 60’s next week!
Enjoy your Saturday!

Bob! I have to say it...you look pretty darn "hot" in your Yankees tee and new 36# jeans! You jhave worked to add years and better health to your life. I am sure you have plans on how to spend that time and energy. Further note here...don't think you can dump us! We know where you live and we will not let you forget these Golden Sneakers. Just saying....
Patsy0 -
Bob, you look awesome.....you are proof that it can be done, if you want it enough and are willing to work for it.
0 -
Will catch up tomorrow when I have the day to myself.
Just wanted to apologize to Marie. I have no idea why I thought the latest greatest grandchild was a girl, but you do have a great granddaughter also don't you? Or a fairly new grandaughter? Or am I losing it?0 -
Happy Saturday!! Finally some time to myself, although my son picked Robby up early yesterday so I took advantage and went to my niece where she did my hair. I went very blonde and although almost too blonde I am starting to like it. I really wanted it frosted but my hair takes so quickly and is so thin it does look all blonde. I will try to take a picture and you can judge for yourself. I then went back to my own area and had my nails done so it was a pick me up day for myself.
I forgot about weigh in day and today I am up two pounds. It only proves if you don't work the program and get in a little exercise things will reverse. Today is the first day of the rest of my life and taking care of myself. I will be riding the bike starting today. I have another trip planned to visit my daughter in Florida in 5 weeks so I need to be bathing suit ready. (the best I can at my age)
Barbie, truer words were never spoken, we have to work for what we want and the rewards will follow. Patsy.....you are a funny lady and are you flirting with Bob?? (just kidding) Bob, you were a handsome big man but you look so much better 200 pounds lighter. Jeri, sorry about all your health problems, did we ever hear the results of the latest mammogram? Did you try the shots for the sciatic? Surgery was the only thing that cured mine. HAWAII? I am so jealous, could you possibly pack me in your suitcase???? Lin, I hope there comes a time when you can just stay home and take care of yourself.
Being without siblings must be hard when it comes to settling an estate. Wish we could help. We had at least 4 tornadoes touch down on Thursday, one destroyed the town, so scary. Shirley, spending the night with Issac will be wonderful, just love grandchildren. Anne, I am curious how you set up your fitbit to tell you that you walked the Hawaiian archipelago. I must have missed something or you have a different version. Marie, I am so sorry you aren't feeling well and me calling your grandson a granddaughter didn't help. I do hope you are better today and can get back in the fold with us. Buzz had the problem with the big screen she emailed MFP and they fixed it. Jackie, Phoebe and all that I missed, thinking of all of you and wishing you the best.
Here is a picture of me and Robby after Mass at Church. This is before I went blonde.
Have a wonderful day.

Oh dear Sandy, you know me and computers, Fitbits etc. I can only tell you that when it pops up, all brightly coloured, it says at the bottom ...............
"You are receiving emails for badges at (my email address) because you have elected to receive emails on badges collected"
(Did I REALLY elect, so bewildering).........
or words to that effect. They sent another one today for climbing stairs, the Redwood Forest Badge, just from going down to the basement doing laundry! Apparently I've climbed the worlds tallest tree, not bad for an old biddy of 79!
By the way, I think you are one pretty lady HOWEVER you colour your hair. Mines like a birds nest, I must go and get a haircut sometime! Can't keep bleating "does it really matter at my age". According to one gorgeous DIL it does! Sigh.0 -
-
SANDY, you look good in both photos, so just go with the Color that pleases you the most.
Peering in the mirror at my mass of frizzy straight (it curls in humidity) hair I had a brilliant idea. In my long ago past life I was on the stage a few times so.........living not too far from Stratford and the Shakespeare Company there, IF they are doing Macbeth, maybe I should toddle off and audition for one of the three old crones, I certainly wouldn't need a wig, or much makeup, and maybe I'd make some money at the same time! Both my sons have inherited my thick hair (yes it grew in again after earlier complaints by me of losing it, through slimming, apparently) and at 50 and 53 are much envied by their less hairy friends.
At least THEY are happy. My hair was the despair of my poor mother who could do no more with it as a child than I can today. My forum photo was taken a month ago, and the hair much plastered down by me. Sorry to go on so, but we all have some cross to bear. YOU look good.

Hello everyone - well another interesting day.......I updated my operating system and then the computer would not make it through the start-up. I think it was about 7 hours before finally it started up and finished installing the Windows updates. I lost track of the number of restarts I tried. But finally--Wahoo! I thought it was a goner this time!
I did get my outside work accomplished but had a few unexpected things happen. My sink drain was leaking. Called my handyman before going outside. He showed up, had the parts to replace the rotten area. All was well until later when I ran some water and a huge puddle appeared under the sink. Called him back, he said he'd be back in an hour or two. Meanwhile, I messed around and thought maybe it was the drain on the other side but when he got there and I ran the water for him he said no, NOW it was the faucet. And it hadn't been leaking when he tested it earlier. Now it was running a river!! So we went online, found a Delta faucet in-stock and he ran over and picked it up. Now I have a nice new faucet and a warning from him that the garbage disposal will likely be next.
Also got caught up on my laundry and sorted through one box that I'd brought home.
So all in all, an interesting day but so incredibly happy all the problems were addressed today. And onward to the next one right?
Meanwhile, I have once again enjoyed reading the posts.
Jeri, I am sorry you continue to have health problems but hope you still have a wonderful trip to Hawaii.
Marie, are you feeling okay?
Sandy, you are beautiful no matter your hair color. Really.
Bob, I am glad you are getting more new clothes. It's always best to have things that fit. That being said, I am putting around here today in a pair of cords that are close to falling off.......they are so comfortable and I wasn't going anywhere today and if they get ruined in some chore-related mishap, I'm fine with it.
Anne, I think your hair looks just fine in your picture.....
Patsy, what are you doing this weekend?
Shirley, did you get the windows cleaned?
Barbie, I hope you and Jake are feeling well and having more happy days.
Jackie, are you there?
Everyone I've missed----HELLO!!!!
Lin0 -
Well now this is really the PITS! I have a cold and to make matters even worse, so does hubby. Everyone knows when both of you get sick, we have a disaster of major proportions.
Tonight we are watching a crime movie while doing exercises. I am not too thrilled with crime movies but we need to accommodate each other's taste in movies. I confess to being partial to Disney and Mickey Mouse.
I lowered my calorie goal and so far have been slightly over for a few days. I am still adjusting to what and how much I can eat. Not sure about tonight's exercise. I have a running nose and a headache. I have been sort of shuffling around doing small chores, without energy or enthusiasm. We have had a real Oregon weekend. Rain, hail, wind, sun and cold. It means when you go outside you wear a rain jacket with a sweater tied around your waist, in case....
Lin: I have to tell you about a friend with a small very old farm house that they decided to demolish and rebuild. In preparation for the demolition, the wife was packing up the items she wanted for the new house. There were many things that she didn't want or need any more. Thinking of perhaps donating to Goodwill or a yard sale she was talking to her husband about how much work this all was. He said, "don't worry, sweetheart! I got covered!" And indeed he did. He hired a back hoe to come and dig a gigantic hole. He had all surplus items pushed into the hole and covered over. He declared it a sort of modern day archeological dig...for the future. True story!

Happy Sunday!! It is going to be a beautiful day here today but I have no plans other than grocery shopping. Babe and I went to Mass last night but didn't go for dinner as he is not sleeping well. Daisy keeps waking him up in the middle of the night and he is getting no sleep. I think she is in charge of him instead of the reverse.
I rode my bike yesterday and plan on doing it daily, I sure felt good and was even able to run around the yard to play with Daisy. Have to keep these old bones moving.
Thank you for all the compliments on my hair, you make me blush.
Still getting used to it but everyone seems to like it so will see how I feel in a few days. I think I will like it better after I get it trimmed once but that won't be until I am ready for Florida.
Barbie, love your smiley face!!!!!
Patsy, sorry you are under the weather, hope both you and hubby get well soon. Love the story of the burial for the time capsule. LOL
Lin , sorry about your house problems, always something. I think that is why I prefer renting to buying, so I don't get those expenses.
Anne, you paint, you act, you are a woman of many talents. That is wonderful!!!! BTW, I see nothing wrong with your hair, you look great!!
Shirley, I see that you too get badges for different Countries, what kind of fitbit do you have? And do you pay for the premium service?
Bob, where are you?
Jackie, where are you?
Marie, where are you?
Phoebe are you home or on the road?
Have a wonderful Sunday, I hope the sun is shining for you.

Morning,
Dave has already left for the boat. He wants to gets the tarp off. I don't go because it is still on the
cradle and you have to climb a ladder and I don't like heights. So I wait until it is in the water.
The weather here is beautiful and sunny for a change and I think I will take a nice walk.
Yesterday we went to Home Depot, Dave got a $1300 gift certificate from work for 25 years of service and we decided to get new
carpeting in the downstairs. So we went to check it out and talked to someone. We have to go back and get some samples to bring home
as one of the samples was out by another customer. We also went to Walmart to get some sleepers for Isaac with Grandma on it but no luck.
I bought him 3 sleepers any how and some bunny slippers since I couldn't see him on Easter. LOL
Since Dave is at the boat I will do some laundry today since we are away tomorrow and overnight.
We are going to see Isaac tomorrow and stay overnight, I can't wait! Sandy - You look fabulous in your Easter outfit with cute little Robby. He is getting so big already. Marie is on the other thread 20 lbs by July 4th so
she is not posting as much. I am sure she will sooner or later. Jeri - I am sorry you are having so many health issues. I hope Hawaii can make some of the hurt go away. Enjoy yourselves. Bob - You look amazing with all that weight off. Great job and I know it was hard work. Patsy - Feel better soon and hubby too! Lin - yes we got all the windows done between Dave and myself. The weather outside was cold and gloomy but its done now.
Today the sun is shining and they look great! Good luck with your plumbing problems. Another mess you have to contend with.
Believe it not I am still in my PJ's so I better get going and get some things accomplished.

SANDY, the word is DID a bit of acting in the past. Like I said before, Jack of all trades, master of none! I sort of fell into the acting because I joined a group for scenery painting and costume design. THEN the company wanted a certain "type" to play the principal boy in an English pantomime. Sort of a comic role, I was persuaded to have a go, and after that got to play poor mad Ophelia in Hamlet and a few other parts, but then my life took a downward swing and it was bye bye to any further "goes". I just like trying my hand at everything. After all, if you don't have a go you'll never know what you really want to do!
Just been to the stores and spent my tax refund (still to arrive, touch wood) on some much needed summer pants and tops.
Hope everyone is enjoying Sunday! Beautiful day here.

Site gone crazy again! I'd need a desktop a mile wide to read this page! And I thought it was fixed! I guess I'm glad I'm not alone with this problem. 2 Funerals and a hospital visit and that's more than enough for 1 day! Robbie's picture with his Nana holding him is gorgeous, but spread over about 2 feet of space! I could not get it in one picture!!!
HELP!!! Buzz 0 -
BUZZ -- YES -- the site has gone crazy again -- very annoying!
Patsy – Thanks for the compliment. In my wildest dreams, I never thought I’d see 36! I still take 38 – guess I’ll have to see where I settle. I’m not sure if you’d call it energy or what – but suddenly I have the urge to live a lot more life! I have no plans to exit MFP / Golden Sneakers…the last thing I want is a relapse and I know the importance of staying on top of this.:)
Barbie – You’re right. Ya gotta want it and be willing to pay the price – discipline in the face of temptation. That is why I am sometimes hard on myself – it is what I need to stay on the straight and narrow.
Sandy – Loved the photo – you looked GREAT! Sounds like a nice trip to Florida before the real heat sets in. I always remember going in July one year because I had some “points” expiring and I didn’t want to just lose them. My only memory is being outside the MGM Studios – sweating – and an ice cream cone melting down my hand faster than I could eat it. I swore off Florida in July…LOL
Anne – All this talk of hair --- (color, curls, humidity) reminds me of my blessings – I don’t have as much to worry about as in my youth, To think the barber would sometimes need “thinning shears” is almost laughable.
Lin – I am in fact glad to be buying some clothes. My old size never was “on sale.” I have a ton of clothes that I spent a lot of money on over the last 18 months and I think I’m going to list on eBay. If it was just a few items, I’d just give them away, but lots of these items haven’t even been worn 3 times. I bought lots on sale when I thought 2 or 3 x would always fit… never really thinking I’d see plain ole’ L-XL. I thought of keeping some of all the sizes and then decided – nah… if this is permanent weight loss – what’s the point. Still – like those “cords” of yours, I’ll keep a few comfy fav’s forever.
Status –
The out-of-town cardiologist I saw was “thrilled” with the weight-loss, as was his staff. One nurse was going to download MFP. Results weren’t exactly what I was looking for, as I am back out of rhythm etc. I take a half dozen or so Rx daily and the one they had me on that worked for 5-6 yrs (Amiodarone) wasn’t safe long-term. I left wearing a Holter and that gets returned tomorrow – then we’ll see. Yada yada – it is what it is…
FANTASTIC WEEKEND –
Granddaughter (turned 5 last month) slept over for the first time. Her brother (age 7) will stay over soon. Grandchild #3 is expected next month and this gives “mom & dad” a chance for some special time alone with each before the new arrival.
So it has been Old Maid, DVD, Music galore – she sings a lot (Taylor Swift is her fav), took her to see a few hundred cows on display, she helped cook dinner and we went shopping for “special bread” at a place that has been open OVER 100 YEARS and lots more but you get the idea. Very smart young lady. Not afraid of anything new.
Time to grab a bite to eat….enjoy your Sunday night everyone!

Patsy - I hope you and your DH are feeling better. Got quite a giggle out of the solution to clearing out the house! There are days this might sound good!
I've looked through my bids from the china purchasing company and will probably drive up Tuesday to retrieve the specialty items, coffee server, teapot, butter dish and several other items from one set and maybe NOTHING from the other china pattern. But I need to look at the items in person. My strategy is to sell the highest value items and let the local company try to sell the things that are quite low value since I'll be paying for shipping. Anyone have a different opinion? Am I missing something??
Bob, your heart is out of rhythm? Does that mean A Fib or something different??? I'm not trying to be be overly inquisitive but my dad had A Fib and I was told that was likely the cause of his stroke. He was not on blood thinner prior to the stroke but of course was on blood thinner for the rest of his life. I had genetic testing and found I do have a higher than normal probability of A Fib. I am a whole-food, plant-based person and asked Dr. Esselstyn at a presentation at our local heart center if this type of diet can help control or prevent A fib. Unhappily he told me that electrical problems are not reversed with use of his diet. Blockages, yes, electrical no. I also submitted a question for a conference call with Dr. Joel Kahn if he felt any dietary or lifestyle changes would lessen electrical problems. Again, his answer was NO!
I hope your results turn out to be very good. If I'm too intrusive, tell me to shut up.
Buzz, I'm sorry the site went crazy for you again. I don't know what to suggest. Is there any way to adjust the size of your page with the zoom function?
Shirley, you have some wonderful days coming!! Enjoy!
Anne, did you hear that as we age that it is soooo healthy for our brain function to be creative and do art projects? I think I should do more than my coloring book!
Sandy, I hope you've had a great evening. Call the Midwife is on and I'm trying to listen to a nutrition conference call at the same time (oh yeah, and typing this message)! I'm not a great multi-tasker!
Hugs everyone. Tomorrow is dentist day. Wish I'd flossed more often.
Lin0 -
Buzz It seems to be when someone post a picture it is oversize and make all the posting oversize. you can get rib of it by turning your computer off and back on but when some one post anohter picture it will do that again. At least that is what I do.
a lot of troubles tho.

Good morning everyone. Sorry for the absence but had a busy although enjoyable time with unexpected visitors, allotment digging and finally watching the Masters golf... amazing! To cap it all my broadband system went down so I've had to fiddle with switches and plugs to get back in touch with the outside world. Currently waiting for engineers to install a water meter outside the property that should mean a halving of my annual bill. A knock at the door just after 8 this morning got me out of the shower so I had to peep round the corner of a gap in the door wrapped in towel with another turban style round my head!! Not a pretty sight but I made them laugh saying it looked like I had my shower just in time! George and I will then be off out for a walk and although it's a little misty at the moment it is quite mild and will no doubt get warmer as the day goes on.
Patsy ~ Feed a cold, starve a fever is a sensible old wives tale so do as your body requests until you're feeling better.
Buzz ~ If your page is only expanding on the MFP site it has to be their problem. It's not happened to me yet but then I'm on a different time zone so it may be it gets a lot busier when you're on... in other words I don't have a solution!! Sorry to read about the funerals and hospital visits. I suppose it goes with the territory but very sad nonetheless.
Well, the installation of the water meter that was supposed to take half an hour has now been going on for nearly an hour and I can hear lots of banging and thumping no doubt because the plumbing is 100 years old and they have to find it underground first. Which reminds me LIN ~ When I first moved into this property and needed some plumbing work each job seemed to have a knock-on effect so that in the end the whole system was replaced bit by bit.... just saying!!!
Yesterday I managed to remove the carpet from the open staircase so am ready to gloss paint the sections that won't be covered with new and had better get on with that job because I'll soon have a call to say the fitter is on his way.
Hello to everyone I've missed, again congratulations to BOB and ANNE glad to know you weren't hit by a train during your walk through the London underground!! LOL
George is in the garden barking at the engineers so I'd better go and get him......

Good morning sneakers, it looks to be another lovely day so after all the chores are done I'm torn between tidying up the garden or having another go at the "masterpiece". Lol. I'm quite pleased with it so far, but I'm at the stage that I'll probably spoil it.
Can you pop over PATSY and paint a few trees in? Hope you are on the mend!
Poor LIN off to the dentist? I read your comments about you and BOB with some dismay. I'm clueless when it comes to medical terms. Please forgive my ignorance but what is A Fib? Irregular heart beat? Ignore me if I'm out of line of course.
Glad to read your post JACKIE, spring must be a very busy time of year for you. I Hope your plumbing is sorted out, although George enjoyed a distraction to his calm day. Not to mention the plumbers when you opened the door! Had to smile at your comment about one job leading to another! Do you remember Michael Flanders and Donald Swan singing "the gasman cometh"?
If you can find it on the Internet BOB it might give you a smile too! All house owners will relate!
When I walked to my favourite store to replenish some of my sadly ageing summer clothes yesterday afternoon, I checked my Fitbit before setting off. 2320 steps only so far. When I walked back I checked again and it read 10,321 steps. I was quite shocked I'd walked that much. Mind you, I do 6000 steps every day doing 1 hour of walking in 2 sessions, and always walk over 10,000 steps daily, but, OVER 8000 just ambling to the stores! Nice surprise. I'll be getting another email soon I expect from Fitbit telling me I've walked the Sahara desert! LOL.

Good morning ! I am still dealing with an incessant headache. We have now decided this malady is allergy related. We have clouds of pollen everywhere. Just miserable not life threatening. It does make both hubby and I a bit cranky. It is rainy today so the pollen isn't flying around. Good!
I have yearly physical in May and I always dread that. I seem to operate under the premise that if I don't think about it, it will go away. I really don't have any big issue to be dealt with. But the Dr. Scares me. My blood pressure goes up before the appointment. Immature and rediculous but there it is.
I am also wanting to dive into refurbishing our house. It feels sort of dumpy and in need of a good clean up and reprinting job. One of life's little mysteries is the reaction to change. I love it most of the time. Hubby is genuinely uncomfortable with most changes in our surroundings. I think it might be a male/female thing. Rearranging the furniture is very upsetting for him. Life is all about compromise.
What is happening to our TV? No Downton Abbey! Great performances on PBS was lackluster, at best! I am exercising to old movies that we have collected. I am now using the 10 lb. weight for all the weightlifting exercises. I do the exercises but I am still old and fat...I keep looking for that fountain of youth. No luck so far! I will keep looking and will advise you of my progress.

how do you get Chrome Do anyone have it. I have exployer
is that my problems or is it my computer.?

If you think you can do it Marie, go to Chrome.com On the top it says download and follow the directions. If you think it would be better for Alice to do it then wait for her. Hope that helps.0

Hello everyone. Did quite a bit of veggie cooking today including rainbow chard and a head of cauliflower. Yum and double yum. Also cut up lots of fresh veggies to eat raw. That should hold me for a couple of days. .
Went to the dentist this morning. The tooth with a crack in it hasn't gotten worse so they'll let me go for a while with my promise to call immediately if there are any twinges or sensitivity in that area. I'd like to postpone another crown for a while. Ha. Also got in a bit of trouble, it seems they don't want me to chomp on apples and such due to that veneer, I'm to cut the apple up and anything crunchy is to be eaten on the other side of my mouth. Gosh, that's darn handy isn't it? I told them I'd try. But I really love holding an apple and crunching into it--it will be difficult for me.
I am going to make a trip North to pick up dishes tomorrow and am going to have a visit with my dad's cousin who will turn 90 on the 25th of this month. I've talked to him on the phone a few times since my dad died but I haven't seen him for a long time.
Another friend with health problems. She called today and said they don't know what's wrong yet and she has tests upcoming. Meanwhile, she can't eat and has lost 10 pounds in the last week. I am concerned about her but her doctors seem to think it's not an emergency so she has to wait until the end of the week for her next tests.
I've tried to get in touch with the husband of a friend who's in Texas having cancer treatments for lung cancer (he was going to stay home) but he's not answering the phone. I hope all is going as well as possible and I do wish I had the phone numbers of some of their kids/grandkids.
Gosh, let's all stay as healthy as we can.
I bet Shirley is enjoying her day!
Sandy - are you back to Robby sitting now?
Marie - glad to see you and I agree with Sandy, I use Google Chrome as my browser and have fewer issues with MFP (although it doesn't work perfectly).
Patsy - sorry about the allergies. The last day or so the blooming trees are just popping all over the place here. Sniff. They are miserable.
Anne - that was some massive shopping trip! I never get that type of mileage in a store! I must stand and look at things too long. Ha.
Jackie - hope the water meter was installed soon after you wrote to us. The plumbing in my kitchen seems okay today. No leaks, no new problems. I thought I would find a puddle again and end up with a new garbage disposal given the way Saturday went!
Time to get the trash out, finish my dinner, do the dishes, pack the car and prepare a lunch to take along tomorrow.
Hugs to all my pals.

Happy Tuesday!! Another beautiful day here with the sun shining and temps going to the 60's. Robby is napping now but will take him for a walk later. Babe is sick and is going to the doctor later, unfortunately I have to go to his house later to sign the tax papers and get them mailed. I hope I don't get sick again. I might walk Daisy while I am there it depends how tired I am. I have been good on my bike but walking is such good exercise. I did walk Robby yesterday but the little stinker wouldn't take his afternoon nap so his mom wasn't too happy.
He did sleep for her for 45 minutes which was good but she sometimes makes me feel like I don't know what I am doing. I am surprised my 4 kids survived with my parenting. (just kidding) I really do enjoy having him and since I have been going to bed early I am able to stay up any get things done while he takes his morning nap.
Just a FYI.....Babe's son has gone in rehab for three to five days, mostly to detox from the alcohol. Say a prayer that he finds recovery and can give his wife, daughter and father a normal life.
Have a great day and keep working your program, it only works if you work it!!
