Enjoy the Tuesday Morning and early afternoon ahead of the forecast rain.
You are doing so well with the weight loss and step counts.

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.
Hi Joanne
It was my impression that what they found was the the Facility itself. It was a good sized left over from the war. It is amazing to me how many German facilities still exist so many years later. Does that make any sense to You.
Congratulations

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.
Hi Vix
I was wondering how You were making out, out west ?)
I am sorry to hear that Your MIL's situation is bothering You. I suspect it easier on them than on their family.
No Problem, We can all use a good laugh.
Roger0 -
Good morning.
Off to play with clay this morning and forget about things for a while.
California's having a heat wave, so will have to pack for that.
That tunnel in the video was creepy. Yuck. I'm not especially fond of tunnels to begin with.
Anyway, looks like a pretty day out, sunny with a little breeze.
Happy Tuesday, everyone. 0 -
Good morning;
Vix-Dementia is sad and scary. We feel so helpless because there is nothing we can do to fix it. It is in our nature to fix things. I will keep you and your family and your MIL and SIL in my prayers.
When do you leave for Yosemite?
Roger-I am enjoying this beautiful day, as tomorrow we will be getting rain also.
I have all the windows open and there is a nice breeze.
I have been cleaning out closets this morning and am now taking a little break before I start the next project.
Enjoy your day! 0 -
hi all, vix I am so sorry about your MIL. That is a lot for your SIL sending prayers. We went for our regular walk which is close to 1 1/2 hours it sure is helping me with the weight loss. Jo it sounds like a really nice walk you went on. Roger I think we all are getting rain tomorrow oh not too much you can do, I will still walk just I will bring a rain coat with me. hope everyone has a nice evening.0

Hi, thanks Jo and Irene.
We may have to cancel our trip after all...will wait a couple more days. For now the air quality where we're going is unacceptable. All these natural disasters...the world is a mess.
Wishing everyone a good night's sleep. We need our energy.0 -
I posted More humor as well as a Humorous link
Hi
I did some walking + 1 cent. The temperature this morning was 69 on the news channel and 68 degrees on the front porch and back yard. The rain with stormy weather in the forecast for Yesterday afternoon was late and it had only drizzled by 10PM. It started raining heavily shortly after I started walking and since I was only wearing my Rain Jacket everything below the bottom of it was soaked by the time I got home.
I have been making a Ham & Swiss Sandwich that has Miracle Whip as the spread. So it ends up as 95 calories protein, 80 calories of 647 Bread and slices of really a tasty Home Grown Ripe Tomato
FWIW My brother filled up yesterday, The previous fill up time before the price was $2.29 and 9/10ths and Tuesday it was up to $ 2.79 and 9/10ths. A 50 cent rise at the same station in a couple of weeks. He generally fills up when the tank is down to a half tank. The F150 has the optional large tank

I do not recommend doing that.

Hi Vix
Tunnels do not bother me nearly as much as Bridges and there is no way They would anyone would ever get me out on one of those observation platforms that has a glass floor
Enjoy Your Clay ClassHi, thanks Jo and Irene.
We may have to cancel our trip after all...will wait a couple more days. For now the air quality where we're going is unacceptable. All these natural disasters...the world is a mess.
Wishing everyone a good night's sleep. We need our energy.
That does sound reasonable to me, Why go where the air is bad. I hope That if You need to cancel Your trip There is no penalty fee for the cancel.
I agree things are going to pot. I hope Irma turns to the left towards Mexico or to the east into the Atlantic away from the Mainland. Yesterday they reported sustained winds of 180MPH and Gusts to 220 MPH
Good Luck

Happy Anniversary

Good evening;
Thank you for the anniversary wishes. It is also my Son and DIL's anniversary, 42 years for us and 5 for them.
I went to the shopping plaza right next to Gillette Stadium this morning at around 10 and there was a lot of activity already for tonights game at 8:30. I was stopped 3 times just getting into the parking lot asking where I was going.
We had rain this morning and off and on sun this afternoon.
Have a great evening! 0 -
Happy Anniversary to your son and DIL too! We were married the same year as you.
Roger, we had a nice sunny day here.

Hi
I did some walking this Morning + 1 Cent. The temperature this morning was 57 on the news channel and 56 degrees on the front porch and back yard.
I did wear a Long Sleeve Shirt and wore lightly insulated gloves due to the temperature
In the 10 day extended forecast the overnight lows are all in the 50s to low 60s with highs in the 70s.
Not to much on my agenda for today.
I guess by now everybody has heard about the Equifax Data breach ?

Wilmington: most dangerous place in America for youth
Brittany Horn, Jessica Masulli Reyes, Esteban Parra and Christina Jedra and Larry Fenn, The News Journal and Associated Press
Wilmington has the highest rate in America, by far, of young people being shot. The rate is more than twice that of Trenton, the No. 2 city of similar size.
Sixty-four children have been shot in Wilmington shootings between January 2015 and Labor Day. Five have died.
Wilmington also has a 2-to-1 lead over Trenton, its closest peer in the mid-sized city group, according to the data analysis. In descending order, other cities facing extraordinarily high teen shootings are Savannah, Georgia; Syracuse, New York; and Flint, Michigan.

Hi Joanne
I went further than usual this morning, I'm at 9600+ steps already and it is only 9:30AM
That is a nice thing to do, Clear the basement and donate at the same time. Around here there are a couple of charities that You can call and they will pick up too. Lupus is one of them.
OTOH if You have a trailer to use that eliminates it sitting out waiting for them to come.
Enjoy the Weekend

Hi Irene0 -
hi all, our weather here is great. George is outside the power sprayer cleaning the house. We got our walk in we walked to the lake so I did get 9500 steps in nothing planned for the rest of the day. My weight stayed the same this week with the holiday and all but I am back on plan so hopefully I will get losing again.0

Good morning;
Another beautiful day.
My daughter and I are going to SoWa Market today. Hubby is going metal detecting. Last week he hit the $1,000 dollar mark. He has been recording and saving all that he finds. He also has a large cache of costume jewelry and other trinkets.
Great job on the step count Roger and Irene. Yesterday I got 10,873 steps, a lot more than the three previous days. I hope to get more that that today. Once I am back at work I will get in a lot more steps.
Have a great day. 0 -

Only Dieting can get boring, if You maintain through a Holiday that is a big win.
I am sure You will get back on the Losing Weight Track.

Hi Joanne
I looked up SoWa market, Just curious what You might be looking for as I found this regarding it.
local artists, farmers, chefs, brewers and musicians
Your Hubby is doing good. The $1000 does not count the Costume Jewelry of trinkets so that would drive it higher too
I was at 10,500 steps by Noon yesterday and doggone it if I did not forget to look at bedtime and see the days total
