    Hi all.
    Went to body flow class this morning...I was pretty stiff today. Went to the sauna for 15 minutes before coming home, that helped loosen me up a little more.
    Pretty garden pictures, Roger.
    I put some leftover salmon in my salad for lunch today, and I think I will make a stir fry for dinner instead of plain veggies and plain protein. Also cutting out the artificial sweeteners...back to plain water or herbal tea today.
    It's very nice out. Enjoy the day, everyone. :)

    Good afternoon;
    Roger-glad you are feeling better. I don't think I have ever seen a sweet potato plant, pretty flowers.
    Vix-A hot shower usually helps me when I feel stiff, also if I stretch that helps.
    I can't believe that next weekend is labor day weekend. The summer has gone by too fast for me.
    Have a good day. :)

    Hi Vix
    It was good outside until it got hot later in the day :)

    I thought I would throw the pictures in as I had mentioned the Raspberries and I think the sweet potato plants before. I can not believe how many Raspberries are forming on those plants, especially as it is the first year that they are planted here. The same thing with the Fig Tree, 5 figs for the first year seems pretty good too.

    I am glad the sauna helped loosen You up, everybody deserves to be pain free.

    Have a Nice Evening

    Hi Joanne
    I overachieved on my walk today, As of 6:05PM I am now at 10,455 steps so done for the day and still hours to go :)

    If You notice they look like a lot like Morning Glory flowers to me too.
    OK I just looked it up and Wikipedia says: The genus Ipomoea that contains the sweet potato also includes several garden flowers called morning glories
    as well as saying: The young leaves and shoots are sometimes eaten as greens     I wonder how they taste.... Hmmm.... should I try them or not.

    I agree the summer is flying by.

    Have a Good Evening

    Hi
    It was 69 this morning, Today I have done 7.8K Steps + No cents. While I was walking and Listening to a 1948 Radio show called Escape. 7 More episodes left and then decision time for what to listen to while walking :)

    It was still comfortable out the door and on the return. I abandoned my plans to mow this morning since my neighbor Sealed the Driveway and no matter how careful I am some of the cut grass always ends up on it. Tomorrow I know it will be somewhat less comfortable but I do need to be a good neighbor :)

    Later on today we need to strip the Turkey Carcass so it can go out the door for the last of this weeks garbage pickup and not hang around the kitchen garbage to smell up the place over the weekend. That also means weighing it into portions and freezing it and some of the Stuffing and maybe mashed Potatoes. I did not care for them after defrosting them the last time, My brother claimed I did not handle them right so they had the right texture when Microwaved.

    Have a Great Thursday

    Good afternoon;
    The landscaper was here today to mow and he cleaned up all the leaves..my yard looks good again. :)
    i woke up with a slight headache today and it took most of the day for it to go away. I took about an hour nap after work.
    Roger-I am sure your neighbors appreciated you not mowing your lawn today.
    Some things just do not freeze well and I think mashed potatoes are one of them.
    Hi Vix and Irene.
    Have a good evening. :)

    Hi all.
    Went to painting class this morning, and chiropractor this afternoon, and some running around.
    Jo, hope your headache is better.
    Roger, it was pretty nice out here today. I'm sure your neighbor appreciated that you didn't get grass on his driveway sealant.
    I guess freezing different foods can get tricky. I just usually keep leftovers in the fridge....I don't mind eating the same thing a few days in a row.
    Have a good night, everyone. :)

    Hi
    It was 75 Degrees this morning, Today I have completed 9,270 Steps + 32 cents found in a parking lot as I was crossing it. While I was walking I was Listening to a 1948 Radio show called Escape. 2 More episodes left and then decision time for what to listen to while walking :)
    I generally listen to Three 1/2 hour shows while walking so I really need to decide what to listen too once Escape is done tomorrow.

    It was still moderately comfortable out the door and on the return. I decided to Mow tomorrow or Sunday as the Lawn does not look terrible. I can see where it sort of needs it OTOH.........

    My Brother is heading out to the ShopRite in al little while and will pick up some of the 60 calorie per wrap, wraps. And since the Reduced Sugar Mount olive are on sale starting Sunday I have postponed their purchase. Not a Surprise to me that anything BBQ related is on sale FWIW. Example 80% Lean Hamburger will be $2.49, OTOH London Broil is going on sale for $1.99 and He can turn that into leaner hamburger for less per pound :)

    Have a Great Friday

    Hi Joanne
    I think she would have if I mentioned it to her, However to me saying I was planning to mow and did not would have been a bit pretentious?

    My Brother claims that the Frozen Mashed Potatoes are fine if You bake them in the oven to warm them rather than using the Microwave like I did.

    I generally am lucky that my headaches either go away fairly quickly or quickly after an Asprin.

    Enjoy the Day

    Hi Vix
    I never minded eating leftovers either. Example Yesterday I use some Leftover Turkey Breast on a 60 calorie wrap that had a smear of Lite Mayo for taste. I kept 6+ ounces out of the freezer and will be doing that for two more days :)

    However I know someone that always brought home Doggy bags but would never touch them, They went into the Garbage later on unless someone else in the house ate them.

    Yesterday was a better day here too, Oh well....

    Have a Nice Day

    Good morning;
    My headache finally went away late yesterday afternoon. Then after dinner, I started having stomach issues. I think I probably picked up some kind of 24 hour bug. I am still not feeling 100%.
    If we have any leftovers, hubby usually takes it for lunch the next day. I have a sister that puts leftovers in the frig and then throws them away when they start to grow mold.
    It is very humid here and the sun keeps going in and out.
    Enjoy your day! :)

    Hi Joanne
    I think I had a 24 hour Bug a little while ago too :)

    I do not think the leftover behavior can be changed either.

    Humidity is up for us to and today looks like the highest temperature for a while too

    Have a Nice Day
    Roger

    P.S. Glad You liked the turtles.

    Hello, hot here today too.
    Hope you feel better soon, Jo, those bugs are awful!
    Roger....I often take half my restaurant meal home...have it for lunch the next day. :)
    Went to zumba this morning....good thing....I know I'll be off plan later today. We're going out with the kids tonight to celebrate my husband's birthday (which is actually Sunday). We're going to a winery and then out to dinner. (And I'm making a small cheesecake!) Way too much food and drink, even if I keep my portions small. And no, I will not deprive myself of cheesecake!
    Irene...hope the rehab is coming along well, and wishing you the best!
    Have a great day, everyone.

    Hi Vix
    When We visited a friend Friday we took along the Cheesecake my Brother made and I had some of that as well as the Home made Baked Beans and I tried the two types of Dried Bologna he had brought back from Pa. Why Not I Did the slicing on our slicer :) So I know what You mean about having the Cheese Cake . It took me a few days to recover back to my pre-trip weight. I'm sure the Burgers and Hot Dog did not help, But they were so good I had a second Burger :)

    Good Luck and a speedy recovery from the Food :)

    Hi
    It was 73 Degrees this morning, Today I have completed 7,910 Steps + 1 cent found in a parking lot as I was crossing it. While I was walking I went to listen to a 1948 Radio show called Escape. 2 More episodes were left and when I started to listen to them they turned out to be something different Called "Out of This World" so I went to "The Mysterious Traveler" to listen to while walking :)

    It was still moderately comfortable out the door and on the return. I decided to Mow the Lawn. Afterwards I looked at the Raspberries, Plenty still not ripened however I did find 10 that were ripe :)

    Have a Great Friday

    I am so sorry to hear that You are ill. It is amazing how something that small can bring such weakness and misery to our lives.

    Good morning.
    Jo, sorry you're still under the weather...hope you kick that bug quickly, and feel better soon.
    Roger, enjoy your raspberries! So good for you. :)
    I didn't do too badly yesterday...had a few small glasses of wine, a spinach salad for dinner, and a small piece of the cheesecake ( I made it with neufchatel, instead of full fat cream cheese). So I may be back to normal by tomorrow. :)
    Nothing really planned for today. It's pretty hot out.
    Feel better Irene and Jo!
    Happy Saturday, everyone.

    Hi Again
    I see You posted after I did :)

    I hate walking where I end up all sweaty which explains why I have been getting out the door early around Sunrise.

    Todays weather was great for walking. The Humidity was up and the overnight temps were down so today was as nice as yesterdays.

    Wildlife I saw while walking :)

    Good afternoon;
    Irene-I am glad to hear you are getting around better.
    Roger-nice pictures. I got out early and went walking this morning. I am feeling better today, but still not 100%.
    At least I got out and walked and did a little housework today, yesterday I didn't leave the couch all day.
    Vix-I don't like to walk when it is too hot out. I don't like being sweaty.
    Enjoy your day! :)

    Nice pictures, Rick. Sometimes we see critters on our walks in the park. :)
    Irene...glad you're starting to get around and that the worst is over. I'll bet you're getting tired of the ice packs and pain, but it'll get better.
    Jo, glad you got out. We went for a walk yesterday morning, but I spent a good part of the day looking on line for a weekend away with the kids in October. So, I'm kind of sore this morning. Too much sitting and too much time on the computer!
    Off to yoga this morning, maybe I can stretch out some of the kinks....will also spend a few minutes in the sauna to help loosen up.
    Have a great day, everyone. :)

    Hi
    It was in the 70s today, 74.55 degrees, Today I did 8,200 Steps + One Thin Dime so far. The Humidity is up to a Dew Point of 65 which is above the comfortable range. Later on this week the weather is supposed to be better :)

    That picture of the deer was shot off of a Bridge over that Brook AKA Creek. It was sitting there sideways to the bridge until i managed to get the Camera out and powered up and then as You can it had decided to move on. The Road noise does not seem to bother it.

    Have a Great Monday

    Hi Irene
    I am happy that You are doing better. I know the rehab can take a while from a family member that had their knees done. They got around so much better afterwards. Sadly they had waited a little to long to be back to 100% but ended up happy that they had the Knees replaced.

    Better Ice Packs than many of the Pain Killers that get prescribed :)

    Good Luck

    Hi Joanne
    I am happy that You are feeling better. I am not one of those types that likes feeling sweaty either. That would be why I was out the door a little earlier today than Yesterday when The weather was cooler. I was laying there not falling back to sleep so I said, Self, You might as well get going.

    Enjoy the Upcoming week

    Rick? Well the Starting letter is right anyway :)

    I find that the stiffness from sitting passes quickly once I get going again.

    Enjoy the Yoga and Sauna, I'm sure they will help.

    Good afternoon;
    Just checking in. I went to work today and am starting to feel a lot better.
    Tomorrow I go for my yearly physical at 8:10 and then I have the rest of the day to myself.
    I managed to lose a few lbs. while I was sick. I hope I can keep it off. I am not going to officially record it until it stays the same for a few days.
    Vix-I try not to spend too much time on the computer...sitting bothers my back and looking down at the computer bothers my neck. Don't you just love getting older? :p
    My landscaper come by today and created two new flower beds for me, now I just have to figure out what I want to plant there.
    Roger-That is always the way when you want to take a picture of an animal. By the time you get the camera ready, they have moved.
    Have a great afternoon and evening. :)

Fun having new flower beds. :) I've put a few pounds back on...my body is not cooperating, again. And I'm feeling really tired. Hopefully it will get back to normal soon.

    Hi
    It was in the 72 today, a couple of degrees cooler than Yesterday, Today I have done 7,785 Steps so far. Tomorrow is predicted to be warmer and then later on this week the weather is supposed to be better :)

    Tomorrow is Market Day at the local Grocery Store to take advantage of the 10% Wednesday Senior Discount day. I will need some Fruits and I finished off a box of cereal Monday and need to decide if I want another Multi-Grain Cheerios or something different to put into the 6 different cereals I use. I use a different one every day when I am having cold cereal. When I start with the cereals for breakfast I eat them until I use up the quart of Dollar Store milk I pulled off of the Pantry shelf as once I open it I have to refrigerate and use it before it spoils.

    Have a Great Tuesday

    Hi Vix
    Not a problem, I suspect we all do things like that I've been called worse things than that BTW :)

    I have a suspicion that the tired feeling could be tied to diet. That reminds me that I need to refill my 7 day pill thing I keep my Vitamins in. I eat take them at dinnertime which may be strange?

    Good Luck

    Hi Joanne
    Is it a desktop computer, Tablet or Laptop? I have been using a HDTV for my computer monitor for 10 years now. I stated with the 32" 720P HDTV that was the heart of my my "So Called" Home Entertainment system. IE a DVR, Media Player, DVD recorder/player and a BluRay Player and a 5.1 later upgraded to 7.1 Sound system. Then for Christmas I gave myself a 42" 1080I HDTV. I like it as the computer monitor, I can roll the little re-purposed Printer table that holds the wireless Mouse & keyboard in front of my chair and sit back and the screen is at the right height. I have also heard of offices where they use workstations that You stand at.

    I suppose You could start the fall with Mums for a instant burst of color in the new planting beds as well as some spring flowering bulbs such as Snow Drops and Crocus for early spring blooms, as well as Daffodils, Tulips and Hyacinths. Then Either Dutch Iris or the more common and decide over the winter what Perennials You want to plant in the spring.
    Irises are perennial plants, growing from creeping rhizomes (rhizomatous irises) or, in drier climates, from bulbs (bulbous irises).

    I guess that's life, by the timing is everything :)

    Have a Nice Day
