Hi Irene
I looked at The size of the puddles at the ends of the driveway and decided we do not need to water for a couple of day. That is fine with me
Have a Nice Day

Good evening;
Here is the link to the maple water www.drinkmaple.com/
We had a little rain yesterday afternoon. It is a lot cooler today. There is a nice breeze.
I worked this morning and didn't do anything this afternoon except have a short nap.
Have a good evening. 0 -
good morning had a really nice walk, it was cooler like 68 nice breeze nothing planned for today I might scrub the bathroom if I get some energy.0

Hi
I ended up with 11K+ steps yesterday between walking, Mowing and then Grocery store & more.
Today I am at 5K steps with more to come when I run out to CostCo in a little while when they open. So far I have picked up Bananas and Apples and a Orange the Local Grocery Store on my walk. Apples were $0.79 a pound, The Bananas $0.49 a pound and the Orange was $0.40 then that was reduced by the 10% Wednesday Senior Discount
Today is the pick of the litter for upcoming days. It was in the 60s this morning when I headed out the door, The rest of the long range forecast has overnight lows in the 70s and Saturday they are forecasting 95 to 97 for a high depending on which forecast You believe
CostCo might or might not be cheaper for Bananas however their size pack of them would be too big at this time of year and they would go over ripe even refrigerated. The Apples were $1.70 after the discount for four of them. I do not think CostCo's price would be better.
Have a Great Wednesday

Hi Irene
I enjoyed my walk too. It was nice having a morning under 70 and the lower humidity was the icing on the cake.
Good for You getting the cards already. I am dithering about ordering, I can not decide how many to order
Have a Nice Day

Hi Joanne
It seems that everybody here is having really good weather for a Summer day.
I hear that down south in the Atlanta region the forecast high is 98 today, and that they had what was described as Toad Strangler rainfall yesterday.
Cheers

so far today I have in 8639 I should reach my goal of 10,000 steps

Good afternoon;
I have 13,000 steps so far today. I have nothing planned for the rest of the day, but I am going to try and hit 15,000 or more.
I was busy as work, but the day seemed to drag.
It is currently 76 degrees and there is a breeze....my kind of day.
Enjoy!0 -
Hi
It was 69 degrees out the door with 93% Humidity this morning + 6100 steps. Despite the humidity it was not too bad walking, out the door at 6:25 with a slight breeze that sadly went away
I walked past the Wild Berry patch looking for Raspberries, Not much luck this year the few that are there are small and Bitter this year, Last year the were delicious. I am lucky to be getting a few from the newly planted in the back yard Raspberries. Not super huge but tasty and since this is the first year nice to get. Yesterday I 7 or 8 from there to go with the others I have had from the plants recently. It seems they like the soil as some of the are really tall. They started out short and the tallest is now over 6 feet tall I think I got lucky with the one that some critter broke over. I Planted a stake and tied it up and so far it seems to be doing OK.
I had about 60% of my daily Banana before I left for the walk, Right now I am drinking my Strawberries & Cream Protein Premier Protein Shake Bought at CostCo on a previous trip, 30g Protein, 160 Calories and 5g carbs. Yesterday I had a NS Vanilla Protein Shakes with a really ripe Banana blended in as a My Mid-morning PF + SC Snack. Later on around 9:30 I plan on having the balance of my Banana in my Breakfast Cereal. In case anyone is interested that will be Multi Grain Cheerios with Sweetener 110 Calories and 50 Calories of Dollar Store 1% milk
Have a Nice Thursday

Hi Joanne
Despite being out walking yesterday in the early morning and then trundling through CostCo I did not hit my goal in steps when I checked the FitBit before turning in. Therefore I am really impressed by You achievement and further goal for the day.
Sometimes that just happens despite being busy, other times You look up and realize You missed Coffee Break or Lunch.
Have a Nice Day

good morning,Roger the weather here is nice on our 9 am walk we actually went a little longer so far today I got in 11,000 steps so I am doing ok. I was cleaning my spear room so now I am taking a break trying to get things cleaned up a little before I go for surgery. Jo every week you win in steps I am so impressed well need to get cleaning or I will stop and nothing will get done0

Good afternoon;
Roger-I have been eating plain instant oatmeal with either a banana or a plum cut up in it for breakfast. The fruit makes it sweet enough, so I don't need any other sweetener.
Irene-nice job on the steps. I know I hit my 10,000 steps today at work, but the battery on the fitbit died around 9am.
Enjoy your afternoon. 0 -
yeah I got my spare room cleaned and part of my mud room0

Good morning. Popping in using my notepad. Wasn't sure it would work. Florida has been nice. Probably about the same temperature as home this week, low to mid 90s with a t-storrm every afternoon. Sounds like you're all doing well. Heading back home tomorrow evening.☺0

Hi
I got out somewhat late for my walk + 8100 steps, Happily no pain today so I went further
It was 74 degrees out the door and for the overnight low temperature. I did work up a light sweat on the inbound leg.
Here are a couple of versions of this song. I like both of them.

and

Here is a clue to the Singer of the second version.

Hi Irene
I actually went further despite the warmer temperatures as I did not have any pain for once.
I do like the CostCo for Frozen Veges and more, They still have full width Toilet Paper from Charmin not that narrowed stuff the grocery Stores sell these days. I also buy the 10 box Kleenex and Paper Towels there in the Paper Goods line. The price on sweeteners and Spices and such are good too. For example I can buy the real Vanilla Extract for my brother there at a lower price then a smaller not real from the store.
And CostCo does not seem to be afraid to pay their workers well and they keep the place really clean and well lit. The BJs I have tried with their free 30 day membership offers always seem dingy, Possibly from the dimmer lighting.
Congratulations on getting the cleaning done, My least favorite chore

Hi Joanne
I have been eating the Quaker Lower Sugar Instant oatmeal. I like that I can cut the packet along the dotted line and use it as a measuring cup thus avoiding dirtying a measuring cup and the ones I use are 110 calories and 120 calories per serving if I use water with them.
I had that happen on while I was out walking a while back, My own fault. I use a FitBit Zip that uses a CR2025 battery and I ignored the funny looking icon on the screen that was warning me of a low battery. In the past before that I used to get a warning email telling me the battery was low

Hi Vix
I do not know why You thought the Notepad would not work, I took my laptop to the Library once they got power back after sandy to get online to forums since My power was still out at that point.
Lucky You, returning home to a heat wave
Stay Cool
Roger0 -
Good afternoon;
Roger-Thanks for the songs, I have always liked both of them.
Vix-I always take my ipad on vacation, most places have wifi that you can connect to. The weather will be the same when you come home. We are about to start a 6 day heat wave.
Irene-Good job on the cleaning. Enjoy your haircut and highlights.
I worked overnight, ran some errands on my way home and then had a nap. I am trying to work up some ambition to do a little house cleaning.
Have a pleasant day.

good morning, we went for our walk and it was warm but it is done now I am relaxing not sure what we are going to do today we just might stay home it is going to be a hot one today. I did get in 6600 so I am doing good. Jo those over nights are tough it seems to be the weekends when you are doing them are they easier for you?0

Hi
I managed to get to 8700 steps for the morning despite the weather being on the warm side. It was 79 to 80 degrees depending on whether You believe my Remote readout of 79.4 or the local Cable news channel display of 80 degrees Either way it was OK until part way into the walk. I wonder if the Coffee contributes to feeling warm?
They say that today will be the hottest of the year so far Well above the average for us. Not as bad as further south or west, still slightly under 100 degrees.
I managed to hit 10.3K steps by Bedtime yesterday, It has been a while since I managed that. I suspect I will match or exceed that today
Both my Brother and I have noticed that Sugars make us feel warmer too. Therefore The only Sugar before my Morning walk is the 1/2 Banana I eat before I leave the house. In the Winter I eat the entire thing.
Have a Really Great Weekend

Hi Joanne
I agree many places have free WiFi, You do have to watch out for Criminals spoofing a free WiFi location however so that they can spy on banking log-ins.
I have found that amobition is somewhat lacking when it comes to one of my least favorite things to do, Cleaning and Yard Work
I am glad You enjoyed the songs.

Hi Irene
I have to agree it was warm but tolerable. I seem to handle the heat better with the weight loss too. Also see my comment on sugar which seems to help too. Not just Sugars, Empty Carbs such as breads too.
Congratulations on Your Walk

.Good afternoon;
Irene-I am working overnights on friday and saturday. I actually like going in and working when no one else is in my department. It is usually really busy during the day on the weekends with more people scheduled, which makes it kind of chaotic. I am going home before most of the other workers come in.
Did grocery shopping and had a nap so far today. It is too hot to do anything outside.
Roger-congrats on getting 10.3K steps.
Vix-Did you fly or drive to Florida? Have a safe trip home.
Tomorrow my daughter and I are going to the beach at 6am and walk then we are going out to breakfast.
We want to be home before it gets really hot. We walked a lot on the beach last year, but just haven't found the time to do it this year. It is about an hours drive. It is a nice relaxing walk, quiet and listening to the sound of the waves.
If I ever hit the lottery, I want to buy a place right on the ocean.
Have a good evening and stay cool. 0 -

Hi Joanne
I always did like Night work too.
That does sound like a fine way to kill the morning
I know what You mean it is supposed to be 97 degrees today and even this morning was a warm 80 degrees at 6:10 when I looked at the cable news channel temperature that they run in the bottom of the screen
I am hoping tomorrow is OK, The Predicted high is 94 however they are also saying that the Humidity will be higher. I need to get out with the backpack and stop at the Grocery Store for some Bananas and Assorted Fruits.
Have a Good Sunday
And Thank You for the Kind words

Hi
For those of You with a Shoprite nearby the Circular that starts today and runs through Saturday had some Super Coupons in it. Example with a $25 dollar purchase, Butter at 2 for $3, 5 pound bag of Potatoes for $1, SR Brand canned Chicken or Solid White Tuna as a Buy 10 and pay 77 cents per can any over 10 will be $1 each, a Good price and Chicken legs and Thighs for $0.29 a pound. It doesn't get cheaper. As always with their Circular You also need their key tag.
I managed to be at 10.1K steps by bedtime yesterday. So far today I am at 7900 steps, I would have gone further except for my Grocery Store stop where I picked up a refrigerated food that I wanted to get in the Refrigerator despite that I wrapped in in a hand towel. I also Picked up two green pears, Five Bananas, a Apple, and a Nectarine to bring my on hand fruit in balance with the Banana quantity. I eat an apple a day at lunch, Keeps the Doctor Away The other fruit joins orange I had and the Apples I had on hand.
Today the weather was 74 degrees out the door at 6:20, a bit more humid so more less the morning felt the same as yesterday. Later today the Humidity is supposed to arrive and go high along with a forecast temperature of 97 for Monday. Saturday highs were in the 97 to 98 degree range here in NJ.
Have a Nice Sunday

Good morning.
Always nice to be back and sleep in one's own bed. ( We flew to Florida, don't like long rides so much anymore).
Not much planned for today....watered the plants, will do laundry.
Sounds like it was possibly even hotter here than in Florida this past week! I unintentionally got a little burn on my shoulders, even though I pretty much try to avoid the sun and put sunscreen on when I knew I'd be out in it. There was one day when I forgot the sunscreen.
Sounds like you all had a busy week.
I like vacations, but I'm always happy to get home.
Enjoy your Sunday.0 -
hi all, welcome back home Vix glad you had a nice vacation, it is always nice to come home.Yesterday it reach 101 here just way too hot for me.Right now it is 91 but it is still early. We did get out at 6 am for our walk I found 2 cents and dis 8800 steps which is good for a sunday well have a nice afternoon0

Good afternoon;
Welcome back Vix. I love going on vacation, but love coming home even more.There is no place like home and your own bed.
With the walk we took today and going to work for 5 hours, I got 23,000 steps in today so far. There was a nice breeze down by the water.
Roger- I don't have a shoprite near me, but those price are good.
Hi Irene.
My husband turned the sprinkler on to water the trees in the back yard. We must have 50 little birds enjoying the spray.
Enjoy the day!

Hi Vix
It was fairly hot but not terrible due to lower humidity levels, I suspect You are back just in time for the worst day of the heat wave
I hope Your Sunburn clears up speedily.

Congratulations on Your walk and Your found money. The only money I found lately is a bunch of quarters when I was gong through a drawer in the Lamp Table in the living Room.
I hope tomorrow is OK but I am pessimistic

Hi Joanne
Wow 23,000 steps, I am impressed and in awe of that. That has to be in the range of some sort of marathon distance.
My Brother came back from the store with two waters at $1.50 each and a Big tray of legs, he really wanted Thighs but they were substituting Tyson and he will not touch Tyson products
% cans of the house Brand 5 ounce Chicken for me and 5 cans of Solid Pack Tuna for him at 77 cents a can. That is a great price as I see it. I need to see if I can get there before the sale ends and get more chicken, he is possibly interested in it if the can looks good when I open one.
How nice of You to be running a bird bath.
Enjoy the Evening
