    Happy 4th all, All is well at my house, fireworks (safe and sane) are legal in my town, which of course means that it is easier to have the illegal ones and not get caught-- so it's pretty loud, and Levi is a bit concerned.

    I'm holding my own weight wise, I still have more I would like to release but just not finding the commitment. But no gaining so that is a win. I've re-worked my work schedule and hope that as I stick with it that it will free up some time, I have consolidated some things so I am gardening for longer days but less of them, which cuts down on the commuting and means I have bigger chunks of time to devote to the embroidery.

    Barbie - thank you for keeping us going, and I am so glad that things are working out for you and Jake.

    Allie - proud of you! the condo looks great

    Lisa - thinking of you.

    Michele, would the creeping type of flowers grow on and over your rocks. I would imagine it might take a couple of years..

    One electrical problem we have is that several of our plugs fall out. So,e of them it is quickly and others are more gradual. MIchelle has a week planned off work to help us with some home projects. I hope we can replace a plug in by ourselves. The most irritating one is the one the DirectV genie is plugged into. If it gets unplugged, such as the kitten running, satellite is gone until we get it plugged back in and it gets satellite again. So if you are recording a movie, you lose minutes. But painting Charlies room comes first.

    Joyce, imfiana

    LENORA glad you got electrics sorted. DH is a qualified electrician so I have lots of plugs and sockets everywhere, in the kitchen there are at least 6 double sockets.

    I love fireworks, never set any off myself but love the large displays. That's one of things I like about my Spanish breaks, they do wonderful displays

    Last night I tried to make bread in the Instant Pot. Fail. :'( But I was able to rescue it and finish it in the oven. Delicious!!! Half wholemeal, half granary.
    This morning I've made a fabulous black bean soup with smoked gammon. (Raw ham) Just had it with the bread. :D
    Docking myself 350 calories in all. Loads for another day. :) My poor freezer is already groaning.

    Making our own blackcurrant jam this afternoon. Neither of us eat much jam, so 4 pots will last us ages. Fun though!

    DH is still not up to par. :(

    Warm here today. Not really jam making weather. :o

    Lots of love, Heather UK xxxxxxx

    michelle I followed your directions for cutting the lemon squares, Worked like a charm. The one thing I did differently, almond flour for the pastry, meh! I like it better with white flour but hey, it wasn't inedible, just gluten free :p

    Had a peaceful 4th, even took a nap outside on the chaise lounge chair, what a delight.

    Take care everyone! NYKAREN

    July goals
    - 120 miles
    - 15 days over 10,000 steps
    - water, water, water
    - refinish dresser and cupboard.
    - paint new cupboard
    - get my craft room back together

    I think it important to not only set goals for our exercise, but also for our projects. My refinishing projects have been waiting way to long and it is time to get them done.

    July 1 - 3.09 miles
    July 2 - 3.53 miles
    July 3 - 5.71 miles - 12569 steps (1/15)
    July 4 - 3.98 miles

    Very hot out yesterday so I stayed inside, laundry, cleaning out files and shelves in my home office. Lots of trips up and down stairs. My cold is not getting any better! Grandkids coming this morning, Aiden has one more day of antibiotics and nebulizer. Not sure were everyone picked up this virus!

    Off to refill coffee cup and get ready for the day.

    Anybody have any "blahs" busters? I could use a couple of motivators today.

    I feel very down today. I recorded everything I ate and did lots of walking so I thought I would have lost something!! Alas the scale is at the EXACT number as last week. I know it will move eventually but sure is discouraging. The sun is shining so I will be out doing my steps as usual but not with much bounce.
    I now I just have to keep on trucking. :)smile:
