Good afternoon;
It turned out to be a nice day. When I got up this morning it was raining.
The remodel of my store started this week. It is estimated to take 12 weeks to complete.
I got my 30 year pin at work today and a booklet from which I can choose a reward. I started working at Shaws as a part time overnight job when my kids were small, so I could be home with them durning the day. They offered me full time after 2 months in.
Roger-congrats on finding 5 cents. I haven't found any money for a while now.

Hi Irene
It has been somewhat chilly outside while walking until I get going and then I warm up enough to be comfortable.
I have not seen any Deer lately while walking although every now and then running across the road in front of me.IreneMurman wrote: »good morning , started to walk with George and Annie at 3am we walk for about 1hour and 15 minutes so I already have in 8598 steps in.

Wow, You got out early.
I found the 5 cents a block from home on the homeward leg of yesterdays walk.
Congratulations on the Weight Loss and the Steps count.

Hi Irene and Vix.
Hi Joanne
is the store staying open during the remodel?
Stay Dry
Congratulations on 30 years. I hope You get a nice reward from the selection.

Good afternoon;
Roger-yes the store is staying open. They are doing one section at a time and I am sure they will be working overnights when they have to do anything major, right now they are just moving shelving around.
Irene-you are doing good with your weight loss and walking.
I didn't see anything in the reward catalogue that I wanted, so I let hubby pick out something. He opted for a leather jacket that he can wear when he drives his MG.
I went to the Dr. today for my annual physical. Everything was good, pending blood work. My BP was a little high and the Dr. told me to cut down on salt and I have to go back in 2 weeks for a follow-up. I don't salt anything, but going out to eat, the food is usually salty.
Have a good evening.

good morning, Already got an 11/2 hour walk Annie and I will go out again later. I got in 10 k steps in. I also lost 4 pounds this week so things are going very well for me. I did get an e-mail from amazon they want more forms from the DR so I will be going this week and dropping off the papers. So what is everyone doing this weekend? George is going to take Tuesday off so we will have a nice long weekend nothing planned I will mow the yawn so it will be done. Yesterday I got my basement pretty much done just about everything is put in there place those cabinets are so nice. Jo that was nice that you could find something for the hubby.0

And more humor once again
Hi
I did some walking once again, The temperature this morning was 58 on the news channel and 57 degrees on the front porch and back yard. It was Comfortable walking.
It is a Nice looking day. According to the Weather forecast we should have rain moving in late Saturday into Sunday.
I headed out Yesterday to CostCo for Three 5.5 pound bags of Frozen vegetables, navel Oranges, Gala Apples, Paper Towels, a Protein shake and a package of the Precooked Bacon. The bacon will be used to enhance the taste of The NS hamburger, Chicken Sandwich and Shredded onto the NS Pizzas. I only need a 1/2 slice of the 45 calorie slice on the sandwiches

I had a suspicion they might do something like that with the store.
I agree that Irene is doing good too.
A leather jacket does not sound as if they loaded up the selection with cheap junk.
My Brother never uses salt except if a recipe for some baking calls for it. OTOH as You say Going out to eat and Chinese Take Out the food is usually salted or in the case of Chinese the Soy sauce used making things salty.
Good news about the Physical. I'm sure the Blood work will be satisfactory too.
With the rise in Gas prices I am glad I filled up the car recently.
Have a Nice upcoming Holiday

Wowsers 4 Pounds !
Interesting about the Amazon Email. Good Luck with them.
If I said I have no plans for the Holiday Weekend unless I break down and have a taste of Fast Food.
I love French Fries and Bacon CheeseBurgers. And it happens that Wendy's has both available
They sell a Value size French Fries for $0.99 and their Baconator is Burgers with Cheese and plenty of Bacon.
It is nice to finish something like Your Basement.
Enjoy the long weekend

Hello. Good to be back home. Walked in the park this morning.
Irene, congrats on the weight loss! That's great.
Jo congrats on your 30 years. Sweet of you to get a jacket for hubby. I find restaurant food salty too...not used to it.
Roger, thanks for keeping the funnies coming. Good to keep up the walking.
MIL is not doing well. Dementia hit hard and fast. SIL has been amazing in dealing with all this, glad we could give some support. MIL is now home, an aid comes in for 12 hours a day, but it's still hard. Hoping for the best.0 -
Good afternoon;
Irene- congratulations on losing 4 lb. this week.
Vix-I am sorry to hear about your MIL.
Roger-Just the name Baconator sounds like it is loaded with calories, but I bet it tastes good.
I got a call from the Dr. office today, all blood test came back good with the exception of high potassium. I am to have another blood test at my 2 week follow-up. I have heard of low potassium, but not high. I will have to google and see what causes it.
I don't have any plans for the weekend and after tomorrow I am on vacation.
Enjoy the rest of the day. 0 -
good morning, well George and I woke up early so we went for our walk another 1hour and 20 minutes it sure has helped me to lose weight.

Good morning.
Thanks. It's raining here this morning. I went for a walk in the park yesterday. It was nice to be outside walking and my leg seems to be mostly tolerating it. Looking forward to going to Yosemite next week.

And yet more humor is now posted
Hi
I did some walking once again + 9 pennies, The pennies were all found one by one in a short stretch of sidewalk except for the last one.
The temperature this morning was 54 on the news channel and 53 degrees on the front porch and back yard. It was Comfortable walking as I had put on a Long Sleeve shirt after seeing the temperature outside.
Currently it is a chilly, gloomy looking day outside. OTOH I did not have any problems with the sun in my eyes while waking
Our forecast is for rain later this afternoon into Sunday Morning
Here is a picture of one of the Dahlias planted out front. It got broken off when we were deadheading the Rose Bush behind it and removing the dead blooms from it. I put the ruler along side of it to give a idea of the size. It is a pretty Thing too.

Hi Vix
To quote from the Wizard of Oz, There is no place like home.
So many foods I used to eat now taste so salty to me.
I'm sorry to hear hear that regarding Your MIL. Your SIL must be an amazing person to cope with it. I have been fortunate not to have to handle that problem in people in the past.
Good LuckGood morning.
Thanks. It's raining here this morning. I went for a walk in the park yesterday. It was nice to be outside walking and my leg seems to be mostly tolerating it. Looking forward to going to Yosemite next week.

When I stopped to think about it I stopped being amazed You already have rain and recalled that the weather forecast did show the predicted rain for our area as coming up from the South.
Enjoy Your upcoming trip, You do keep on the go

Hi Joanne
Funny You mention that
Baconator®
This one goes out to all the discerning carnivores. Thick-cut Applewood Smoked Bacon, two 1/4 lb* patties and even more bacon for a grand total of six (6) fresh-cooked, never microwaved strips. Topped off with mayo, ketchup and cheese on a premium toasted bun to hold the meaty masterpiece together.
*Approximate weight before cooking
950 cal
I did find this which explains the repeat blood test.
http://www.mayoclinic.org/symptoms/hyperkalemia/basics/causes/sym-20050776
Often, a report of high blood potassium isn't true hyperkalemia. Instead, it may be caused by the rupture of blood cells in the blood sample during or shortly after the blood draw. The ruptured cells leak their potassium into the sample. This falsely raises the amount of potassium in the blood sample, even though the potassium level in your body is actually normal. When this is suspected, a repeat blood sample is done.
Please keep us informed.
Enjoy the Holiday and The vacation even if it i only a Stay at home vacation

Hi Irene
When I was able to start walking It helped my weight loss too.
Are You using the NS protein shakes ? I preferred the Old now discontinued ones and was sad to see them go, especially the coffee flavored one. I have found substitutes for their other flavors but not that one.
Keep up the Good Work
Roger0 -
Good afternoon or should I say evening,
I just got home from work and I am officially on vacation until Sept. 12th. I don't have anything planned, just doing stuff around the house.
Vix-Have a wonderful time a Yosemite.
Roger-thanks for the link. That is a big flower. Do you have different colors?
Hi Irene.
It was 46 this morning when I went to work. I turned the heat on in the car. It turned out to be a nice day, 73 degrees and sunny. Tomorrow we are getting the rain.
Have a great evening.

The White one was the first into Bloom. A red one planted at the same time is going into bloom, however it is not open enough to know if it will be a large and fancy. Two others have not Bloomed yet and they were all planted at the same time.
The rain moved in Saturday somewhere after 4PM here and it is still raining at 9AM today

The Girl at the register looked at it, poked the $2 bills and said I don't think We can take those I said they are legal Currency, so she called and they came and looked and said of course we can take those.

Hi Irene
They do Say to Add Ice, I never do, I just use Ice Water. Why no Ice? No room in the Freezer Section, We tend to keep it filled up and since we never used the ice maker in the old refrigerator when it died we did not spend the money on one with a ice maker.
I have been using ready to drink Protein Shakes from CostCo and I ordered a few powdered ones Via Amazon that I use water with rather than the Skim milk the mention to use. I find that I like them better once I started adding a packet of Truvia Sweetener.
The Local Chinese Take Out has nice Vegetable or Vegetable with Protein dishes. I just get the Sauce on the side and Palm the Rice off on my Brother as Too much Carbs make me sweat.
Congratulations on getting out and walking.
Have a Nice Holiday
Roger

Hi Joanne0 -

Good afternoon;
My daughter and I went to Rhode Island this morning and walked the Cliff Walk. The route is the ocean on one side and mansions on the other. It was a beautiful day, sunny with a nice breeze. We walked 6.4 miles.
Irene-congrats on your weight loss, you are doing great.
Roger-I don't have an ice maker either. The refrigerator we had with an ice maker was always breaking. So now I just have a few plastic ice cube trays. They are sufficient for our needs. I watched the video and still don't know what the 2 guys found underground?
Hi Vix.0 -
Hi all.
Had a kind of stressful day. There are fires in California, one not far from where we'll be staying. And trying to help my SIL with my MIL from long distance...lots of phone time today, and I was looking up a lot of information on dementia. It's really sad and scary.
Anyway, feeling kind of exhausted.
Thanks for all the jokes, Roger.
Irene, you're doing great with the weight loss....congrats!
Jo, it's so nice that you and your daughter spend time together and go for all those great hikes.
Have a good night, everyone.0
