Heather love the picture of you and your friend at the tea. Nice job on finding your accessories so reasonable for something you probably only wear a few times.
Penny you look beautiful in your dress. I am a fast reader so I missed the what I will assume was a typo the first time through.
Sylvia I know cherries are a stone fruit, and they do not do well if the temperature gets under fifty. That why up here in Minnesota you buy a peach that looks good, but when you go to eat it it will be mushy and brown inside.
I like my son's new apartment he lives right by a lake. He doesn't have a view of the lake, but he looks out to a small woods. I saw a deer from his apartment last night.
Yes deer, slugs, and this year rabbits like Hosta. We fortunately haven't had much trouble with deer this year. We are in the middle of the block and many neighbors have fence which helps. I recently learned you can put pea gravel by your garden. Supposedly they don't like to walk (?) on it. I know I need to type carefully now. The slugs I keep down by being through when cleaning out my gardens in the spring. They lay their eggs on old leaves. Since I started doing that I still have slugs but not nearly so bad. Rabbits I am still working on. Where is that eagle, fox, or coyote when you need them.
Lisa thanks for the info on how to prevent kidney stones. I didn't realize that about the supplements.

pipc - Be careful on those escalators, that sounds dangerous... ;P
JanetM - I'm not sure how far into Louise Penny I am because I've been reading them all out of order. I put holds on at the library and read whatever came available first. I've read six or eight of the books - now I need to sit down with a complete list and try to fill in the gaps!
Joyce - Somebody has been calling our place around 8:30 every morning. It appears to be a local number, but it rings three times and hangs up. I don't recognize the number so I don't answer it, but it's so annoying. We're on the Do Not Call list but we still get spam calls all the time.
Penny - How do you prepare rutabaga? Just raw in a salad? I've whipped it in with potatoes but am not really very familiar with it.
Lisa - Thank you for the protein tips. I'm not on a high protein diet but I do struggle to meet my protein goals sometimes. Your post gave me some good ideas for boosting the protein content in my meals and snacks.
GRITS - I do love all the Southern greens, and I like that they're so handy for sneaking vegetables into other things like smoothies. I did discover that you have to be careful how much you put in to your smoothie, though, when I ended up with spinach overpowering the fruit flavor.

July Goals:
1. Track on MFP every day.
2. Get the exercise machines set up and step up the cardio.
3. Unpack my office.
4. Clear out the storage unit we filled up while moving.
5. Start saving/shopping for a better bike.
6. Get fitted for a sports bra.0 -
Kim ~ so glad your mom helped you out. We used the bit of money our parents left us to pay off our mortgages. It sure made life easier.
Penny ~ beautiful flowers and you looked lovely in the evening garb.
Heather ~ loved you tea hat pic. You are a lovely lady.
Grits ~ I have found Margaret Holmes seasoned collards, turnip greens, and green beans to be mighty tasty and so easy cause you just heat them up. Love to add a slice of ham chopped up and vinegar.
Have skimmed over 4 pages and finally got to the end of p. 23 so can't make a lot of comments.
Brought more clothes from my mom's house yesterday to my house. It's like a nightmare sorting them into piles of blouses, slacks, suits, coats, etc. My DH wants me to try to sell some of them as they are mostly in great condition and many have price tags. I don't know about doing that as I am sorry to say I hate to iron. Would love to have a yard sale but it is too many to just put out on tables. A lot of the pants and skirts have been hemmed up so I don't know how you advertise that. Anyhow, if I get to depressed about the whole mess they will go to the thrift.

hummm for some reason it says photobucket instead of the pictures....but when you click on the pic it will take you to photobucket and they are there....strange... I did play around with the pictures after posting them on here, (putting them in different files etc) so maybe photobucket freaked out.
My two active Navy sons are a state away from me, the older in Washington state, and the middle son in California. Im in Oregon, still not really a weekend drive to either of them though. they are the air Navy so both working in squadrons. Hoping this month we can drive up to Widbey Island in Washington and visit with the Eldest. The last time I saw him was last January, and the middle son was at his wedding last Sept. It is very true what they say about sons. "A son is your son till he marries his wife, but a daughter is your daughter for the rest of your life". We touch base, call every couple of months, but they have their own lives, and I suppose cutting the apron strings is a healthy thing, but I DO tie them when they come to visit. Spoil them and cut their meat...haha!

Kim, slugs will stay away from hosta if you mulch with pine needles. Also, you can scatter crushed eggshells around hosta to keep away the slugs.
Carol, I have to share a story about my grandmother. She was tiny- not quite 5 feet tall, and had bosoms like you. Horrible back problems all her life. When she was in her 80s she got breast cancer and had to have a mastectomy. Her boobs at that point hung down past her hips. After the mastectomy she found that she could distribute the one remaining bosom into both cups of a C cup bra and for the first time in her life could wear store-bought clothes! She was a hoot. I miss her terribly.0 -

Miriam - on the grandmother stories, my great grandmother was always called "Big Mama," because she was 4'10" tall and weighed maybe a hundred pounds until she was quite old... Texas humor. The family's favorite story about Big Mama was when she was up in her eighties and bought a new wig to wear to church. It obviously didn't fit, 'cause she showed up at church with a piece of string tied to the hair on each side and then into a bow under her chin. Said it felt like it was crawling off her head...
Carol/Peach - on the clothes thing, I've found that, when I hold garage sales, people LOVE to dig through clothes. When I lost all the weight, I sold all my old fat clothes except for one pair of jeans--which I still have. I had a ton of beautiful plus size business clothes, but just sold everything for $2 a pop, and threw it all on blankets on the ground. Ladies just jumped right in there, many of them sorted as they went! When I hung clothes on hangers, most people seldom even looked at 'em. Just garage sale psychology, I guess... at least in Texas!
Edit - Dang it, just pulled my running shoes off, and I have a blister on the big bone at the front of my foot - not on the weight-bearing surface, on the "I'll probably have a bunion there before I'm 70" surface just to the inside side of my big toe. I blew out both sides of the mesh on my favorite pair when I was running the 5K, so I used some "Shoe Goo" to repair the rips. The inside of the shoe developed a wrinkle right there, where it ripped while I ws running... and the wrinkle rubbed a blister. Any home remedies that will dry it up quick? It's about as big as the pad on my little finger...0 -
Been absent from you all way too long. On my way to Kansas now to see my sis.

morning peeps. -
jjust finished working out at the gym -
yeah, the way this room thinks, i didn't notice spell checker put in wank so that has GOT to mean f*&^k. dirty birds, all of you!!! back in the day, i wouldn't have passed that opportunity under the right circumstances, lololol.
glad u all like the pics. more will come, now this poop has gotta go poop0 -
Carol NC: Hugs and more hugs. I was wondering if a tube top (at least that's what we used to call them) might be a solution to the bra challenges.
Heather: Love the hat! It looks great on you.
Pip & Rosie: Great pics! Thank you for sharing with us. Vegas is on my bucket list!
Michele: The hot stone massage was lovely. I love the way you manage your workout routines. You're certainly setting a wonderful example to follow!
Lisa & Penny: I eat 1% cottage cheese but I put a tablespoon of light mayonnaise/miracle whip in it with chopped up green onion and black pepper...YUM! Costco has premier protein bars that taste pretty darn good. 30g protein for 290 cals at a cost of about $2 a bar. I haven't seen Quest bars here, but I'm going to keep looking as getting enough fibre is an issue for me.
Mary: I hope those house issues get resolved for you this week.
TNToni: So glad to hear from ya!
Well I'm getting a slow start on my goals for the month and my house looks like a tornado went through...oh wait there are 2 that live with me...no wonder! I've got to get my fridge cleaned out and take stock so that I can plan my menu for the next week. I didn't have very much for lunch and ending up eating pretty much a whole bag of sweet potato chips because I was running late for my massage. Lesson learned have some frozen meals that are easy to heat up available for when returning from holidays since it takes a couple of days to get back into the swing of things and get the house restocked.
Well gotta go ride that bike. Have a wonderful day everyone.
Thought for the day: With the new day comes new strength and new thoughts. - Eleanor Roosevelt
Carey-Edmonton
July Goals:
1. Do menu planning for July - Increasing protein to 130g per day. Do one week at a time so that can adjust as I go.
2. Log all meals - try to pre-log to get a better handle on calories for the day
3.Plan and Do - 2 fun things every week- W1: Family reunion - 3 days of fun and hard work
- W2: Tai Chi with friend who will start beginners and needs some company. Hot Stone Massage

Call me crazy but I love to see other people happy and succeeding .
Good Morning Ladies,
Heather, I hope you dance the night away. I hope you send us a picture of your outfit. Have a ball!! (later) Love the hat and you are just beautiful. Not to mention, tiny!!
Gilly, how wonderful to have this new baby in the family. I’m sure his parents were honoring you and your DH in naming him after your third son. That must have been so awful to go through but I hope it doesn’t hamper your relationship with the baby.
Heather, so sorry to hear about your baby, too. I can’t in my wildest dreams imagine what either of you must have gone through.
Sylvia, I agree, the hands free phone in a car is the cat’s meow. Good for you on getting a blue tooth you can use. Have fun on your road trip with DH!
MNMargaret, I love your hostas. Are the flamingos in morning? If you told us the significance of the black tape, I have forgotten it.
Jean, welcome to this group of supportive ladies. It sounds like you know your way around exercise, which is wonderful. Come often and post when you’d like. Please put your name at the end of each post for ease in responding to you.
Hi Kirby. Have one of those for me.
Christina, welcome back. Good for you on eating well. I know how hard it is to log food when you travel so we’ll let you get by with it this time. Great movin’ on the Octane machine. Keep it up.
Carey, glad you made it to the reunion. Will you go to your aunt’s BD party?
Terri, if DH and DS don’t pack enough clothes, they can just wear something twice. Just remind them to turn the underwear wrong side out.
Katla, I had to laugh at your explanation of putting on your bra, but I did understand it. I’m like you with the plateaus in that I spend the majority of my time there, at this point. Gosh was I spoiled the first three months. But I’m happy with my pound or two every few weeks. Good thing that you didn’t have to ride the bike today and can save your fanny for the horse.
Carol, I had no idea??? With boobs that big you should have back problems. I’d think that you would keep a bra on all the time except for taking a shower. Ya know, I just don’t understand why some have more than they want or need and then there are those of us that would have really welcomed a little more. Oh well. Sorry to hear you can’t expect much help from the churches. Even the one with the older crowd might help out with a few meals? Of course they would just make fattening casseroles. Well you seem to have a handle on things, so I’ll just send more good wishes.
Michele, I have played dominoes but just never heard of Mexican train. Thanks for explanation. When we first moved to Milwaukee, I had never heard of Newcomers or Welcome Wagon but got a visit from WW. I then went to a meeting and ended up joining. I was very active and DH and I enjoyed all the couples functions.
Tuliplor, your quiche sounds great. I may have to think about something similar soon. Hey and share those eggs with all of us!!!
You are lucky on that one. Keep up the good eating and it becomes a habit soon.
Joyce, your poor DBIL. A staph infection in his nose sounds really serious. I’d be afraid of it that close to the brain and have no idea if that is more dangerous than anywhere else on the body.
Penny, what fun to be moving around from one fun place to the next. How long will you be in New Hampshire? Do you like that it will get dark at night or does it matter to you? Have a fun trip.
Rosie, thanks for the pictures of Vegas. You just got back recently, right?
Heather, I hope you have a lovely time with your friend. I’m glad she could make it. And for sure, we all need to let our DHs know how much we appreciate them, if we are lucky enough to have the good ones. I know how much it means to me when DH gives me a compliment so I need to remember to do the same.
Lisa, you don’t like any veggies??? I understand being picky, but that’s sad.
Sylvia, I hope you don’t get kicked out of the track. What’s ya gonna shop for? Shopping is not one of DH’s favorite things. He wants to go in, look for what’s on the list and then leave. I wasn’t sure if the funnies in Pip’s post were a result of auto correct or her sense of humor? LOL
Penny, you look lovely in your formal attire. I haven’t been anyplace formal since I retired except the dress up nights on my cruises. And of course with my weight loss, I have nothing to wear for the next one.
Lillian, thanks for the swift kick. I needed that.
Carol, if you do decide to have a garage sale, you can make a rack to hang many of the clothes by getting two ladders. Hopefully a neighbor has one you could borrow? Then get a rod to put between them to hang things on. They seem to sell whether folded on tables or hanging but sounds like you will have enough to do both. Are there any consignment stores in your area? That would be good especially for the new things.
to any Newbies that I missed. Come often and join in the chat. This thing works!! Please sign your post with what you want to be called. It makes it easier for us to respond to you. Also a location is great, be it specific or general. We are happy to have you join us.
Yesterday after DH and I went to Costco, I met my friend and we finally went to line dancing class. This was the first one we made because they changed days so there has been a conflict each week. I felt really out of it, but was able to hang in there for much of it. A few of the dances they did to slower music and then for those that wanted to hang in there, they would do it to faster. I didn’t try any of those. The one thing I’ll say is it was great exercise. I was dripping wet and could really feel it when it was over. Out of the 1 ½ hour class I think I danced at least an hour, so I burned a few calories. I’ll admit I’m a little sore this morning but that lets me know that it did some good. I was out of bran muffins so baked a batch first thing this morning. That has become my staple for breakfast. The boys went to the groomer yesterday so I got a couple of pictures to share. They aren’t great pictures but since I have no grandchildren they are as close as it gets.
I just love all you ladies and wish you all success with what you do. Have a great day.
Words I live by:
Savor. I have to slow down and savor every bite.
and
Opportunity. Each day offers new opportunities for good health and happiness if we just look for them and choose them.
I Love you,
DJ

I had the impulse to text my friend who is having a hard time with getting a divorce. I said “Today I feel the need to remind you that M’s craziness does not have to define your day.” She just sent back “You have no idea just how much I needed to hear that right now.” I don’t know what is going on now, but I’m glad I listened to my impulse. I love it when serendipity shows up in my life.
Oh! I sent her the suggestions from many of you on how to deal with panic attacks. She just followed up with a text “Thank you for the ideas on panic attacks. I’m off to find some of those books.” So thanks ladies, your words were helpful.
We are now past the first week of July. My goal progress thus far…
Mia in MI
July goal:
Continue to honestly log food every day - Doing it
Continue to meet PT one day a week for strength training - Check
Start one hour a week of aerobic exercise - Umm. Oops. Not met this week.
Stop Iced tea overload. 24 oz. iced tea daily plus 40 oz. water – I’ve been consistent with 24oz. iced tea. However, I find that I have slipped down to 32 oz. of water.
Word of the month – gratitude
2 goals good so far. Time to step it up on the other 2.

DJ - Beautiful dogs! They look so proud!

those puppies look like my Homer in white lol.. they are a hoot aren't they? well off to work..

Grits: I love this statement: " I'll agree that the best bra is a sweatshirt (or any shirt that is thick enough that your headlights are not shining." :bigsmile: You have a way with words!
Dr. Katie: How about progress pictures of your feet? You can take one now and one when you're done.
Lesley: In the dead of winter here I loved reading your summertime posts. Now we've switched and we have summer during your winter. I don't remember droughts and wildfires in your summer news. We sure are having dry times in the western US.
bkrimpet: I a novel in which a woman prevailed on her husband and brothers in law to pee around the perimeter of her flowerbed to keep the deer away. I wonder whether it would actually work.
Sylvia: Today's joke sounds like the absolute truth. Perhaps they didn't want to have pencil sharpeners aboard. Can you imagine the contents of a pencil sharpener floating around in the room with you?
:laugh:
Michele: Thank for the kudos on the riding lessons. I consider it a delightful indulgence. I was unable to pursue this life long interest in the past for many reasons. Now that I can, I'm not about to let anything stand in my way. Wrecking my knee by giving myself bursitis in a riding lesson ultimately gave me the will & motivation to lose my extra tonnage. MFP gave me the support and skills to get the job done. Good thing I hurt myself, wasn't it?! :flowerforyou:
Kim: Congratulations on your new iphone! (and camera.) I'm sorry about your lost contacts. Do you have them on paper anywhere?
Janet: That is a well-written article! I hope you'll keep us in the loop as these cases proceed. Accused rapists need justice the same as anyone else. I do wonder why the selection of judges is an issue. Is there someone sitting on the bench who regularly goes easy on rapists? That would be a story.
Heather and Gilly: My mom had two stillborn babies before me, and it was heartbreaking for her. I think a crib-death would be even worse.
Italy: Beautiful mother-daughter photo! What lovely smiles.
Heather: DH was uncomfortable with my MFP friends for a while, but he's accepted the situation. He can be jealous of the time I spend here, though.
Penny: That is a lovely dress! I've never attended a state visit of any sort. It seems glamorous and thrilling. Did you enjoy it?
Sylvia: I HATE auto-correct because it constantly puts in different words than I had in mind. I shut it off, and am discovering how awful my typing really is. :ohwell:
Annr: "A son is your son till he marries his wife, but a daughter is your daughter for the rest of your life". I have a son and a daughter, & I haven't found this to be true so far.
I've run out of time for reading and I know I've missed some posts. I'm off to the gym for yoga. When I get home, I want to go down and check on the boat. WE found the water tanks dry yesterday and the pump running. There was also a bunch of water in teh bilge. Not good. We jsut had the boat service d and hadn't been aboard since then. I have a call into the mechanic, but he hasn't called back yet.

Happy Wednesday ! ! !
Drkatiebug – I’m so sorry about your hostas. If you were closer, I’d let you take as much out of mine as you wish. I will post a picture later from my phone.
Heather – Great picture.
Tuliplor – I wish I were near you, too. When I say “can afford”, it is not the actual price of a dozen eggs, but more a fact of how many our family can eat in a week, or if I have time to pre-cook them for myself. Kinda’ like milk. We easily go through 5 gallons of milk a week (I drink 1-2 of skim and “the boys” drink 3-5 of 2%, then start drinking mine). Since a dozen eggs is up around $1.50 now, I usually only buy 1-2 packs a week, and if I don’t pre-cook mine with mushrooms, they are fair game for anyone in the house. Saturday we had late lunch (2:00pm) at McDonalds (I had salad), DS had double bacon cheeseburger with fries and Pepsi, then at 4:00pm he was asking for supper, because McDonalds was “just a snack”. I don’t buy food unless it is on sale. Enjoy your Dad’s eggs. // Congrats on the wise lunch choices.
Kim – congrats on your 60 second knee/elbow planks. They are hard, especially to start. Keep improving by baby steps, or even stay the same, and the results will amaze you. I am still not back in the habit since my trip last week, so I better kick it into gear. Thanks for mentioning it; kinda’ like you kicked me in the butt.
Penny – Beautiful picture. Enjoy the gala.
Sylvia – envious of your cherry price. I would be eating cherries until I burst if I could find them at that price !
My kidney stone triggers are spinach, strawberries, and walnuts. I can eat any of these in small amounts, but all together, or any one or more in larger amounts creates problems.
Although my garden has never had slugs, I have been told a wonderful treatment is putting a pie pan flush to the dirt, and putting into it the cheapest, yeast-iest beer you can find. The slugs and such are drawn to the yeast, and drown in the beer (although, maybe they are just partying in the beer ha-ha).
DJ – wearing clothes too long is already a problem at my house. DS will NOT allow his baseball pants to be washed until the end of the season. He even has a special pair just for practices and pictures. Neither of them will shower unless I tell them to directly. I would rather spend a few hours at a laundry mat than have to deal with it when they come home. Trust me on that. I’m all about doing the least amount of housework possible, but the stench is just too much for me or Febreeze.
Mia – You are such a good friend sending that text. I’m glad you followed your impulses, too.
I'm getting incredibly frustrated with my plateau. It has been too many weeks to count, and I'm losing drive and desire, even though yesterday I thought my desire had improved. I stayed on the bike 20 minutes again today, and will REALLY try hard to eat salad for supper, regardless of what everyone else is eating. My "excuse" last night was that it was almost 7:30pm when we got home from fixing someone's air conditioner, and I just didn't want to cook or prepare, so we used some of the money we had just earned at Taco Bell. It fit into my day, but was not a healthy choice. No More Excuses ! ! ! I want my contest money back, and it is going to be tough to drop 10 pounds by August 1. Kick me again, please ! !
Hugs for Everyone ! ! !

DJ love your pictures of your darling dog. Yes the flamingoes are mourning the death of the creator of the plastic pink flamingoes , Featherstone. They had a similar picture in our paper I tried to share with Gritsandsluts because of our common interest in flamingo yard art(?). Because it would not let me share I recreated it with a pair of my own.
Italy great picture!
Terri wonderful hostas. MNMargaret 0 -
@Terri in Milwaukee - I love the pics of the garden. Very lovely. Hang in there with the diet. It's very hard not to see progress, I know. Maybe try switching something up. Less carbs more protein, or the other way around if you are already eating more protein. Cut out all "junk" food. Just because it "fits" in the calorie intake for the day it can definitely make a big impact on weight loss. Hang in there. We've all been there and are here for you. (((hugs)))

tuliplor – Hooray for you – eating healthy!! It can be hard to stick to your eating plan when out with others. Especially a food court. You are doing this.
JanetM in NO -The 4 a.m. wake-up cat reminds me of a cartoon I saw decades ago. Cat is bouncing up and down on woman, who's saying something like, "Will you calm down? It's 3 a.m." The caption: "How cats tell time."
Well, that explains my 3:15 am wakeup call this morning. I woke up to a cat kneading my bladder and had a sudden urge to get up and use the toilet. I was not pleased.
Penny at the Pole -That said, I've noticed that the rutabaga I get when I'm in the States simply can't compare to the mild, sweet, crisp stuff I get in Scandinavia. Perhaps it's a difference in how fast they grow and at what temperatures.
Ah Ha! Suddenly your desire to eat raw rutabaga makes sense. I will admit that my nose involuntarily wrinkled up when I read that you cut up rutabaga to eat raw. It’s one of those things that tastes different when grown in a different part of the world. Now I want to taste a Norwegian rutabaga.
Sylvia – So I had to go look up freezing cherries with the pits in. Turns out you can do that. Apparently it makes it a bit messy to take the pits out later, but that is all. Here is one of the quotes I found.
“if you pit the frozen cherries when they're only partially defrosted, your hands will get a bit purple -- wearing gloves avoids this, of course -- but you won't destroy the cherry or your kitchen or clothing. the pits come out too easily to do that kind of 'damage'... think of it more like using your freezer to par-cook the cherries.”
Terri in Milwaukee – Plan, Log, Drink water. Repeat. Stick to it. You can kick this plateau to the curb. Com’ on Terri! Go! Go! Go!
July goal:
Continue to honestly log food every day
Continue to meet PT one day a week for strength training
Start one hour a week of aerobic exercise
Stop Iced tea overload. 24 oz. iced tea daily plus 40 oz. water
Word of the month – gratitude0 -
Trust me, you can have the hostas. I get rid of about 1/2 every year, and they come back with a vengence. Maybe I will try again to convince DS to sell them in front of the house. But I really want to know how to get rid of all the weeds. I didn't plant anything this year, because the weed spray has not been working, and I don't have the time or energy to pull everything. Thanks for the cheering. I wish I wasn't so dependent on the scale, because my brain knows better. I have a scale that estimates my fat percent, and that went down even though my weight went up, so I freaked out. NO MORE FAST FOOD ! ! !
Pip - thanks for sharing more pictures.
Love you all ! Hugs

@Katla49 Well, the Navy takes up most of their lives, and the other part is just winding down and sleeping. It's a mental thing I know I have to get over, the fact that the Navy gets them for 20 yrs...(if they wish to be lifers) but I only got them for 17 yrs. So I use the sentence..."Well I BORE you...that should count for more than the commitment you gave the Navy... :-)" It's quite an adjustment to have them leave you as your boys, and when they come out of bootcamp they are men. They iron at 3 in the morning, and tell you they appreciate you. I think, "Who are you and what have you done with my son.."0

Happy Wednesday, going to be a cooler day and since I am working the short shift 7-3 want to get some yard work done when I get home. Need to mow and have the fence line to clean up. I was over calories yesterday so make up for it today. Thats my plan.
Margaret--Your salad looks good.
Sylvia--Thanks for the jokes, makes me smile.
Becca--Proud of you for getting out of your comfort zone.
Carol--Sending prayers and hugs. Wish I could do more. I agree with Kim let the church know you could use some help. I realize taking help is a lot harder then giving it. But I have learned sometimes you need to Bless others by letting them Bless you.
Kim--What a nice Blessing.
Joyce--I am working on being honest in my logging. Even if I go over I am logging. Only person I hurt by not logging is myself. The calories still count even if I don't log them. So far I am doing well at it.
Penny--I do like your bouquet.
Heather--Hope you post a picture of you in your tea dancing dress. Sounds fun.
DH tells me at lunch that we are going to Quaker Steak for supper with several others. It is Bikers night. So was trying to look up what I could eat on line and no luck finding calorie counts. So will just do the best I can. Well have a nice rest of the days and will be back tomorrow.
Blessings, Vicki GI NE0 -
