    Lanette: I took the Master Gardener training in the 1970's and found it to be a huge asset. I still follow the principles I learned back then, but the new neighbor was appointed garden "master" in our townhouse development by the President of the HOA. She is a self-taught expert on everything and highly opinionated but she is NOT a trained Master Gardener. I called our county extension office to make sure I had my facts straight. My position on the mulch issue was correct. It should be done I & I did all of my own flower beds. I've decided to go through the training again, and it will be offered next January or February right here in town. I'll invite her to go with me, but I doubt she will do it. :ohwell:

    Barbie: I am a piker compared to you. I got three bales of bark mulch from Walmart and did the beds next to my house. :wink:


    My flowerbeds are protected by bark mulch and I feel like I've accomplished something worthwhile. My next step is to sit on the deck with DH and enjoy the day.

    Katla     - that's great you'll be signing up fort the Master Gardener training again! Yes, what we learn there lasts a lifetime.

    You and DH can sit and admire your handiwork on this nice cool(ish) day!

    Barbie ~ Hugs....Glad you can now be in a better place. My DH left me for over 6 mos after I had a complete hysterectomy that left me with no estrogen. I went crazy, but, we finally got over it.

    That is super, super cute! Love the idea it's an end unit and 55+ community. Neat workout room and neat patio. If this isn't the one you are destined to end up with, I'm sure there are more like it. Very encouraging to see all the options!

    Barbie, that is wonderful news. I admire your strength and wisdom throughout this and I'm so glad Jake took the advise of his advisors. Hopefully he has come to peace and the both of you can move forward to enjoy your lives together.

    Allie, I found it and it is lovely. I can see what you mean about the furniture, a bit stodgy for you. I do like the paint colors though, but that is my personal taste. It has a 24 hour gym!! And the patio is just lovely.
    No matter where you wind up, it will be the right place for you. You mental place may be more important than your physical place. As much as the future may scare you, remember that you will be your own woman, and can do and live however you please. You do not have to compromise your tastes and wants for anyone else but yourself. I've been there, and once the shock wore off, I relished not having to be accountable to anyone but myself. We are all behind you.

    I ignored the heat yesterday and baked 2 batches of lemon squares to take to the 2 gatherings I am invited to tomorrow, after I go to work. When I cut them up tonight to get ready for transport,they would not cooperate at all. They did not cut properly and mushed up. I resorted to trimming them to make them presentable and they are not lovely squares at all. I wound up eating a fair share of the trimmed bits, tasted great, looked awful. I think it's the heat. Ate far too much sugar tonight. Have to go exercise some of it off.

    Love and hugs to everyone.

    Tere - That yellow watermelon is making my mouth water. I just picked up a bag of my all time favorite - Ranier cherries. I love all the fresh fruit in the Summer.

    Tere ... I don't think I've ever had yellow watermelon ... how does it taste compared to traditional red watermelon?

    Allie ... the condo is great! Glad to see there are good options in your area!

    Barbie ... I'm glad to hear that all is well in your home. Jake made a wise decision!

    Allie, that unit is adorable. You could host all of us in the meeting room!

    Barbie, as usual you are such a wise woman. So glad you gave your husband time to sort things out.

    Ok, got a cat question for you ladies. Can cats get jealous or depressed? For the second night, Melody has holed up under my bed for hours. Mr Mozart can really be irritating to her at times and she really hasn't done that much to let him know how she feels except growl at him which I never heard that sound come out of her ever until he came to our household. Any advice?

    :)Machka, I have done several challenges (steps, planks, squats) but not any more because I want to cut back on time at the computer. I still log all my exercise and challenge myself to do more but not as part of MFP challenge. The challenges helped me develop the habit of doing more and more exercise and staying focused.

    I have all my exercise data in spreadsheets and on Strava so I can just copy and paste it into the challenges here and also onto a cycling forum I participate in. Quick and easy that way. :)

    Beth when my knee was at its worst I found favoring my water and anything else I could think of with ginger helped too! hope it heals quick for you.

    I had a scare today. One of our outside GFI's got wet today and you could hear it hissing and then black smoke came out of it. Instead of popping off the wires inside it had started to arc. We got the circuit breaker off. For some reason the circuit breaker also did not automatically pop off. DH already replaced the GFI and its housing and got one which was more water proof. Now the one in the front will need to be replaced. It is similar to the one that started to catch on fire. Fortunately we caught it before it became more serious.
