    Hi all.

    Kel, that would be quite a transition for your Mom. I hope the security system helps her if she decides to have it installed. Too bad the dogs aren't more comfort to her.

    E, pictures, Yes! Please.
    Hope your rheumatologist helps.

    Roger, I hope you're doing well.

    Really didn't do much of anything today. Just a down day. The exterminator came and did a barrier spray right around my lunch time so I didn't even go out for lunch. Ate my next to last NS dinner. Chicken Enchilada. Didn't care for it at all. I wish I could get frozen on lunch and snack but they dropped it on that program.

    Have a good day.

    Hi LynMar
    I'm doing OK. Locally I am fine and with the weight los I can do more than I used to do to.

    I used to Add Lunch Melts A La Carte but this last shipment they substituted stuff I do not really care for. I may gave to rethink that.

    Some people like the Chicken Enchilada, some do not, I am on the do not side too.

    Cheers

    Roger, I used to drive all over the place too....back and forth across country probably 6 or 8 times, NJ to Ca. Tried all the different routes plus road trips for vacations. Twas fun while it lasted. :)
    Apparently I have RA, and will start treatments soon, which will make me feel much better. Not what I expected to hear. Need a chest x-ray first, and had more blood tests today. But I guess I just need to roll with whatever comes along.
    Saw a good video about water color painting in class today. Very interesting. Need to try some more of that. :)
    Have a good night everyone.

    Hi Vix
    I used to like driving everywhere to, Oh well, life goes on. Good Luck with the possible RA.

    Have a Good Day

    Hi all.

    E, I'm sorry about the RA. It's an autoimmune disease and I have a lot of those but not the RA. Just OA.

    Roger, now that I'm on lunch and snack don't think I can order the frozen a la carte. I like most of the melts.

    I haven't driven much. Here (S Fla) to Kentucky or west to east Texas. Almost always to Carolinas, Tennessee, Kentucky or out to Baton Rouge to see my aunt while she was alive.

    Have a good day.

    Vix-I love them. Does it take long to make them? Did you paint the flower free hand?

    Hi all.

    Kel, I hope you're feeling better. I'm glad your mom is doing better.

    E, I *love* the flower one! Thank you for the photo.

    Hi Roger. Hope you have a good weekend too.

    Hi Joanne. Nice to meet you.

    Have a good Sunday.

    Hi all. Aw thanks....I was pretty happy with how these came out.
    Jo, yes, I painted them free hand. I decided I wanted to make them colorful. :smiley:
    It usually takes a couple of hours to design and shape the bigger pieces, then they have to wait a week before you can put them in the kiln. You can paint on the greenware before you put it in the kiln, or after it's fired, it's called bisque, and you can glaze the bisque and then put it back in the kiln. Those both have 2 layers, and undercoat and a glaze (painted before both firings).
    Got out for a while today, came back and read for a while. Good to keep busy.
    Have a good night.

    Hi all.

    Roger and I are alike. Get me past a game of Hangman and no one can tell what I've drawn. :|

    Went to Arby's for lunch and had a Pecan Chicken Salad Sandwich. Delicious but too many calories to have very often :'(

    Have a good day.

    Good morning.
    Yoga this morning.
    Haha....every time I paint, draw, or make pottery, it's an experiment. Some of my stuff looks like it was done by a very young child. :) I was playing with water colors this week and realized how hard it is to paint something that looks so simple. I now have a lot of water color paper to use as color test sheets. :wink:
    Have a happy day.

    Hi All
    I walked this morning to the Quik Chek and took a new route, with one backtrack from a dead end street I ended up walking 1.95 miles. It drizzled on me one or twice so I put on the Frog Togs jacket until it ended.

    Have a Great Day

    Hi LynMar
    Hangman :) I had not thought of that in years!
    Then I guess I am lucky there are no Arby's anywhere near me as it sounds delicious. If I had to guess I would be guessing that the calories come from the Bun and a Sauce?

    Cheers

    Hi all

    E, well they certainly come out nice. You must be doing something right. :)

    Roger, probably the pecans, grapes, honey wheat bread, and mayo or whatever holds it together. Only 840 calories :o Glad I'm not counting calories any more.

    I may have to go back on the NS Weekends On My Own so that I can order frozen a la carte items. I can't order them now. :(

    Have a good day.

    Hi Roger and Lynmar, Kel.....you are too kind. ha-ha, I only show you the good stuff. :smiley:
    I have to be really careful when I go out to restaurants...it's really easy to order way over plan. I was looking at one restaurant, and even their salads were over 700 calories!!! What the heck are they putting in there!
    T-storm just rolled through here....it was coming down in buckets. But now everything seems fresh and clean. :)
    Have a good evening.

    if you don't already... sign up for Michael's and Hobby Lobby coupons if you have any near by. i use those all the time for when my son needs supplies. also, try Jerry's Artarama ... there aren't a ton of brick and mortar stores but they sell online and are OMG cheap for supplies... obviously some are more pricey then others but compared to hitting a Michael's or something they're much better :)

    ALMOST to the end ;) LOL
