    Heather dont you and the Hubby look wonderful...
    Lenora~ I keep all my bills on the quicken program, Tom at least did that for me, so if he starts anything I have proof and its backed up. now if I cant use the texts and emails, all I have to do is show that I transferred money into the joint account for electric,internet phone , everything.. now that he no longer has a car payment. then there is more money going into his account. Chevy Volt is an electric car Lenora, so now we both have cars that are paid off, he did give me the paperwork that the attorney and judge asked for. so I will make a copy for myself and the other copy will go to my attorney.
    Still trying to work on the condo thing.. went online and found out the name of the owner and would like to write him a nice note..

    Had a lovely sunny day walking around Rønne on the Danish island of Bornholm. Originally a fishing village, in the war it was occupied by the Germans and then, three weeks before the war ended, badly bombed by the Russians and occupied by them until 1946. So sad seeing the exhibits in the museum. In the cold war, because it was so close to Poland and East Germany, some people used it as an escape route. Very dangerous because of watch towers on the beaches.

    The costumes and clocks from bygone years were fascinating. Apparently a ship, carrying a consignment of English clocks, was shipwrecked on the beach and the islanders took it upon themselves to repair them. All self taught. They got so good at it they started to make the clocks and their cases themselves. Extremely collectable now of course. :o

    We also went to the ceramics museum. With a local source of clay they have long been manufacturing pots. There was a historical exhibition and we saw people making them. Beautiful things and very expensive, not the usual tourist tat. We bought a medium sized bowl, chestnut brown matte glaze on the outside and a blue/grey lustre on the inside. (I adore ceramics)

    Mia - It's Saga. There are two dedicated ships and others they lease. They are currently building a new, 1,000 passenger one in Wismar, where we dock tomorrow. We like our small one, but sadly they are scrapping it in 2019. The last cruise to South Africa, is already fully booked - 8 weeks! The company does cruises and tours for the over 50s, including river cruises.
    We have one more cruise booked for next June, in the same cabin. B) Islands of Bothnia. Norway, Sweden, Finland and Germany.
    We will try Saga Sapphire after that, another smaller one, to see if we like it.

    I've walked around for three and a half hours today. :o:Do:)

    Lots of love, Heather UK xxxxxxx

    glo I definitely want your recipe for the zucchini feta bake, Love that flavor combo--I will not be able to read it today--liquid prep day--but I can dream about making it tomorrow! And yes, can't wait for school to begin--teachers like getting back into the classroom as much as families are happy to get their kiddos back to school.

    Heather love the captain pic--happy memories.

    Today will be a day to purge/shred old paperwork and start making positive goals for the "new" year. September is a happy new year experience for me-clean slate in so many areas.

    Allie - Sorry you can't use the 'texts' and 'pictures'. But, maybe your attorney could let him know how his attorney acted. Unprofessionally late should not be tolerated. So, I take it that they attorneys are working on a more 'permanent settlement'. Will you get one of the paid off vehicles? Something else to think about, getting your own vehicle insurance. A little here and there, money tends to trickle away quickly. Need to write out of list of what your expenses will be (estimate if you must). Other than an apartment, they (utilities/phone service) would probably charge a 'hookup' fee. So much to 'think' about so making lists will help with the 'fog' you'll have and then be able to voice your 'need to have', etc.

    Proud of you and what you've done ... at least the Judge knows what TomCat and his attorney have pulled in the past. I'm sure that your attorney made that well known, in case he doesn't show up to other hearings or court dates.

    Got my car back yesterday, yeah!!!! Looks wonderful!

    Josephine ~ Cute rock! I got my GD (turning 6) a frog rock to paint kit and I know she will love it as she has always been interesting in painting, coloring, etc. Also got her a kit for making a stained looking glass butterfly.

    Heather ~ What a handsome couple y'all are! :)

    NY Karen ~ It seems like you just got out of school for the summer and now you are going back. My DnL got out at the end of May and went back at the end of July. Still time to take the grands swimming after school. But, they are all so busy with activities and lots of rain that they can't go as often as they like.

    Karen in VA ~ What a wonderful childhood to have been exposed to such talented people. Your mom must have been very talented too.

    Going for my first physical therapy this afternoon for the knee. Got a cortisone shot yesterday. Doc allowed me a temporary handicap pass so when I go for jury duty I might be able to park close to the courthouse. Doc would not sign the paper to get me out of it....he said I was not disabled. LOL! There were so many people on crutches and walkers and wheel chairs in the waiting room, I guess I can see why he would think that.

    Mary ~ So good to hear from you. I hope you get good news about your Lyme's disease recheck. It seems like you are working your tail off to get the RV and your house in shape. Good luck. I would never have the energy to get all that done.

    Well my friends, there was a chocolate fountain at tea time. It was what my mother would call a "bun fight"!!!!!!! Marshmallows and fruit to dip. I restrained myself and had one large strawberry and a piece of pineapple. The chocolate was too sweet, so I wasn't tempted to lick up the drippings. Nice of them to lay it on though. :D

    Carol - Coming on a Saga cruise can only renew your determination to get fit. I liked Becca's quote today about not knowing people's story and I can see lots of disabilities, including MS and Parkinsons. Quite a few women have hugely swollen feet and ankles. Most people have mobility problems, some severe. 90% are overweight, even if mildly. Being on this forum I have a lot of insight into how hard it is for people to take control of their own health, but every day I am so grateful that somehow I found the will and strategy to lose that 58 lbs that was making me ill. I hope to keep at it as long as I possibly can. Never, never, never give up my friends!!!

    I want to give a shout out for the guy, Resti, who organises the tour buses. He deals with a whole bunch of old people who are often confused, don't know what tour they are on and sometimes turn up on the wrong day. :o:# He handles it all, giving out numbered stickers morning after morning, with grace and humour. He is wildly camp and makes the whole experience enjoyable. I really appreciate professionalism and he has it in spades.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxx

    Good morning!

    Been up early taking DH's car to the shop, grocery shopping and getting car inspected for my tag renewal. Hate to put the $500+ into hubby's car but it will be mine if we spit so I guess it will be worth it either way.

    Got the saddest news last night. My DDIL works as a volunteer on a community organization in her neighborhood. She and my son and others run the farmers' market there every Friday and she is the treasurer on the board. The man who was the president of the organization apparently committed suicide last night.They were all such good friends and I know that my grandson must be heartbroken. Please keep them and the community in your thoughts and prayers.
