I'm sorry too Bob. It's hard losing all of our friends, an aspect of growing older I hadn't anticipated when younger. Anne.

CALIECAT

Bob, I'm sorry for the loss of your friend.

On a happier note, the new dance today was so challenging that we danced to the music slowed down and spent almost half of the two hours working on it. There is a video that I can watch to help me do better. Tomorrow there will be a different new dance and on Friday I'm teaching a new dance so by Friday afternoon, my brain will be mush. The good thing is that dancing is great exercise and burns calories and is good for the brain.

Barbie I was wondering how the new dance went You will conquer it.

Hi Goldie's; the life in our Life in our Golden Years
my husband had me convince yesterday was Jan. 8 the day I had an appointment for lab work. We went and not a word from them about the date, got it done. but all day it kept nagging me that it was actually Wednesday and today is Thursday. Talk to my daughter last night and she confirm me I was right. Well I have not convince My Husband of the correct date yet. So that problem continue this morning. now how to convince him today is not Friday. Our grocer shopping day. So I have my day map out for me.

I may be going to the store on his "Friday" and it is just Thursday.

Morning Marie, thanks for the laugh! I have a large calendar on my kitchen wall and every morning as soon as I stumble to the kitchen in my pj's I mark a cross through the past day, otherwise I can do the same thing. Daily Project for your sweetie? Never mind, you are all done and dusted for today. By the way, next time you think he's wrong, isn't there a date on your iPad/laptop?
Enjoy your freebie day, Anne ❤️

barbiecat

Marie, we have a wall clock with the date and the date is at the bottom the screen on the computer. Even so, we have many days where we're confused about what day it is .

Marie I Just read your other post on sneakers and you mentioned "back from the future". I was thinking Marie, if only your husband could figure out how to go further BACK in time, say 1960, you guys would make a fortune!

Hello all - last night it got down to -15F and the temps have been increasing and I think now we may be zero or a bit above but the winds have increased so we're not making lots of progress on wind chill.

Marie - Thursday or Friday.......my gosh, I don't know how you will convince him and glad you got your lab work done yesterday. If it was a doctor's appointment they might not have been so accommodating.

I think it will be gluten free Scottish oatmeal with blueberries for me this morning. No pretty pix to offer. And lots of fresh veggies to cut up. I always have a good bunch of veggies at the ready!!

Best health to all.........

Lin

Lin Thanks that Scottish oatmeal Is that Steele cuts oats. I need to cook me some. for these cold winter mornings.

We got to 15 too but that was above - oooooooooooooooooo how do you even breath in that cold? In that cold if you have to get out.
- stay warm don't get your tootsie cold
- Hugs

later: I just went to the kitchen and sure enough he is having Pancakes his usual Friday morning breakfast

Good morning to you all! It is very cold here in northern Indiana also -8 with wind chills of -25. My bus does not like it either. I had to stop and get a cappuccino this morning to get warmed up. I don't do that too often - too many fat grams. Have a great day and stay warm.

Good morning all. I hope everyone is able to stay warm in this winter weather.
*Bob, I'm sorry for your loss. My thoughts are with you during this difficult time.

*Calicat, I had to laugh about not knowing what day it was. It happens to all of us, but not being able to convince DH is another story. It did remind me of when I was first married and we went to Biloxi, MS for the weekend. It was the first year that we had Daylight Savings Time and I convinced DH and the people at the hotel that they had it backwards. We were actually 2 hours late checking out of the hotel, but by the time we left, they all thought I was right. lol

I wish all of you a happy and healthy day and much success with your journey.

Call me crazy but I love to see other people happy and succeeding.

I did mean Scottish. I can't have any cream of wheat for example due to celiac disease and I found this that cooks up with a really creamy texture.



Bit I changed my mind and had leftover veggies and a bit of hummus instead.

ok Jerry , my husband came back from the future and in the time zone as We are in. He did check his grocer recipe and he believe it. So we went to lab a day early and to grocer store a day early and had Pancakes a day early All fine in now love and War

linder4866

But my question is----will he have pancakes again tomorrow?? Glad you guys are on the same and now.

CALIECAT

I don't Know .. Find out in the morning. Probably what he has on Thursday
.i did not know it was so hard growing old with a old man. Marie

linder4866

Ha, I guess you'll see what tomorrow brings. Hope he gets everything back on schedule next week. Growing old alone is difficult and if you get on the wrong day there's no one to rope you back into line. I don't know if that's a good thing or a bad one.

Trying to decide how much veggie cleaning, peeling and chopping to do this afternoon.

Marie nice day with your eating plan.

It was 7F today and earlier it was blizzard and blowing. Luckily it stopped for me to have my dentist apt. All is well there just a cleaning. Now my teeth are nice and shiny.

Barbie - I see you have conquered the new dance. A wonderful way to burn calories.

I am like Anne, crossing out the days on the calendar every morning. I did that before retiring too.
Ask me what day it is but don't ask me the date.

Stay warm my northern friends.

barbiecat

I have a calendar in the bathroom that I use to put a sticker for each day when I reach my walking goal so that helps me keep track of what day it is.

fancyladyJeri

I just check my iPhone. Always works for me.

linder4866

Me too Jeri.........

Thanks to everyone for the kind words. The service was beautiful.

Barbiecat – hope all that dancing went well and that you survived. As you said – great exercise and calorie burner.

Marie – Please don’t blame your husband.

Most men have seen the Godfather 100 times (give or take) & we all remember the quote: “I know English...Monday, Tuesday, Thursday, Wednesday, Friday, Sunday, Saturday”

and this has messed with our ability to know what day it is.

Hi Goldie's. I had a lovely day with my lovely bear of a son and his handsome nephew who of course is my grandson. My grandsons parents (my youngest son) are off on a cruise and boy they will find a huge difference in temps when they get back to the frozen north. My grandson couldn't go with them because he is in the final year of Uni. and had lessons to attend. So to compensate, his uncle and I took him out for a meal of lots of protein Bob. Just what a "starving" student needed. Lovely, lovely day and us 3 generations got on a treat. Hope you all had an equally good day. Anne.

CALIECAT

Anne......How lovely grandson and son out for Dinner. Lovely combinations

Lin .....by the way Jerry had eggs for Breakfast.

Marie - thanks for the Jerry update. I hope he gets back to his pattern on that double quick otherwise he might get off on the current date again.
