Allie "wake up to a adorable fuzzy face giving me kisses" So happy for you. Best way to start the day. Praying real hard for good news from your Dad's procedure.
Lisa great pics and what wonderful gifts you gave your daughter and your daughter gave you.
Terry your meringue cookies remind me of my "forgotten cookies" recipe, I'll try to find it but the theory was to heat up the oven, put the cookies in, turn the oven off and leave them overnight. They had crushed candy canes and white chocolate chips inside. As cold as it is your way, you might be tempted to crawl into the oven with them
Margaret, caramels sound yummy. Leaning toward "Mindful" for my 2018 word. Mindful of what I eat, do (or don't) and say. Mindful of my many blessings. Mindful if who/what/where I am right NOW.
Kelly lucky Mamamama to get phone kisses. -11? GOOD two foot base of snow? Brrrr.
Becca "non-screaming support" LOL!
pip run .5 mi to work? In all weather? You are inspiring! If I would just WALK .5 mi to mailbox and back every day, rain or shine ... hmm maybe a January goal?
Heather hope you can dodge Bea's "something". Your plans sound yummy and fun.
Janetr Love the organized "ribbons in a row". GOOD dh!
Michele thanks for reminding about Bosu workouts. Getting it out and pumping it up will be my micro action for today. Not sure if its psychosomatic (cuz I flunked the balance test at checkup) or not, but every day I'm more aware of how unsteady I am. Hoping Bosu and Tai Chi will halt THAT decline. Love your laziness plan
Katla "hopelessly addicted to advice giving" I resemble that remark!

DJ It wasn't windy so we had a good long (for me) walk. after lunch and nap I took myself to the Natures Coast Holiday light display. The weather was mild and I strolled for an hour. Over 7K steps for the day, twice as many as my average since the blood clots.
Lenora thank you so much for sharing your story, and brava for recognizing the jack@$$es for what they are. Flashing bright lights, feet on the couch attitude, not what one expects from a professional. Donating puzzles missing pieces (or many identical ones) to the psych unit is cruel. Staff should remove. Refusing you your CPAP machine could endanger your life. Totally unprofessional and unacceptable. No one would tell Louis and Trey anything? No wonder they were frantic. SO glad you've got your FB password and you're safely at home. You don't need to proofread for us!
SueBDew My mouth is watering, bet that roast was delicious! Too bad my DH likes his pork cured.
Joyce sending much love and praying for quick healing.
Wendy, Brava for your quick and determined actions. Hope they catch the creep soon!
Sharon Dare you ask if Larry would be willing to go to the Dr for a checkup? What's crokinole?
Marcelyn could your app or phone have been hacked? There are those in the midwest who might welcome some of that warmth tho'
Don't know if can post links to videos but will try.

I'm a crappy photographer but the lights were so lovely I just had to give it a go.
Spent way too long sitting down at pc, time to eat and get ready for Tai Chi.
Hugs to all,

Marcelyn - that is so funny
Barbara - my bosu has a stability bar. My balance -- shall we say -- leaves something to be desired. How did you get the videos to post? Did you first have to put them up on uTube? In the first video there was this tall thing, what was that?

LOL! Marcelyn- It can't be that hot in Houston! I am glad you got a screen shot of that. Too funny!
Allie- So sorry to hear about your dad. Hope the colonoscopy reveals what the problem is so that they can take care of him!
Heather- Bea is adorable. Look at her little balled up hands! lol I bet she didn't act miserable, though. Then you would have known that there was a problem.
Yesterday the temps here were -11!! It was windy, too! I ran some errands and came right home as soon as they were done. The cold SERIOUSLY hurt my face!
I have found out that there is such a thing as "too many beans". Between the ham and bean soup and the seven layer dip, my belly and intestines seem to be rebelling against the onslaught of this much protein and fiber. I am laying off those for a while (and the wine) and being kinder to my tummy. Lots of tea and water.
Getting the house/and the guys ready for my absence. You know, things like leaving lists of stuff that they have to remember to do. Making sure they know where to look to find things (like toilet paper, napkins, dish soap, etc.). They want me to leave the Christmas tree up while I am gone. Can't wait to see what it looks like when I return. I have a note to water it, but we already know how that is going to turn out.
Already have my bagged packed. So excited! Two more days! ttfn xoxoxo KJ7 -
Under the weather here, going back to bed. No biggie, head cold I diagnose, but bad enough that yesterday broke my 68 day Apple Watch move and exercise streak. I’ll have to go for a longer one next year. Been in bed for 14 hour and got up for 15 minutes before I turned right back into bed.
I’m lucky that my superpower (which sometimes does go on the fritz when dealing with extreme heat) has been in top form. My superpower is the ability to fall asleep. I used to take it for granted but now I realize what a gift it truly is.
Christmas was simply wonderful. What fun it was! We crammed two full tables into our small living room side by side and created one huge table for the 10 of us. (My BiL stayed home sick so we were 10 not 11). We opened presents and talked all day. We didnt play games- I miss that, we always did that with my family, but we laughed and sang, and hugged. Can’t ask for more.
I ate too much, and have exercised too little. Was going to start back exercising yesterday but felt shaken from this cold so I think I’ll start up again on Friday and just start eating sanely again today.
I’m supposed to go to work today. Not sure that would be smart. I’ll call my co-worker and see if she really needs me.
Joyce, Lenora, Allie, and Wendy[ sending good thoughts your way. I’m sorry for your troubles this season.
I think I’m going to go now and tax that superpower...

Brrrrrr it is 7 degrees here. Suppose to get colder towards the end of the week.
Allie, we put my daughter’s dog in a cage during the day when we first took him over. He felt more secure there and we didn’t worry. If wasn’t long before he was able to be let free to roam the house while we were at work. He wasn’t a puppy though and didn’t chew anything. I’m sending you father good thoughts that they find and can treat whatever is wrong. Yes, you do have a nice neighbor.
Beth, you house is beautiful. That picture would make a good Christmas card.
Sue, what a beautiful table setting. The 3 of use ate the lasagna on our laps. It was still really good.
Michele, that’s wonderful that Pete and Denise came early. Gave you more time with them.
Joyce, you poor thing. Sending you big hugs and wishes for a speedy recovery. ((HUGS))
Wendy, That is so sad that someone stole from you. Unfortunately there are people in the world like that. Hope they find the person soon.
Sharon, sounds like you had a nice Christmas. I’m glad Larry behaved.
Well back to work. Terry in cold cold VT
(I'm going to try to add another picture)

ok, so how did you add a video?0 -
Barbara in So OR - were you in Oklahoma City, your videos look just like our park lights down the street from us I love to go drive thru them every yeas.

Allie: Hope your dad gets good care and returns home soon.
Joyce: Ditto for you, dear friend.
Wendy: Hope Karma comes back to slap whoever stole your purse.
Am maintaining this month, but would really like to shed one more pound to make it 10 pounds lost in 2017. In total since 2009, I've dropped 35, and still have a few more to go. The wobbly bits drive me crazy, but never have felt better or stronger.
Considering "requiescence" as my word for 2018. Cheers to all.

Rori - kinda loving recquiescence, but not ready for that yet, apparently. My word for 2018 - balance.3

Joyce, I hope you get well soon. Prayers going up.
Still trying to figure out what I have to do to get to FB - apparently I will have to verify my PW every time. Such a PITA. Have it on my cellphone, but cannot figure out if I have to 'log out' ... driving me crazy ... maybe sister will know what is going on ... or I might have to ask Jenn.
For once it was nice to be able to figure out something on computer and do it without my IT's help.
My mantra for 2018 is "10 seconds at a time." One thing I learned (Thursday of last week) ... was that I should do it with safety glasses on instead of looking through binoculars. I think Thursday was a turning point. Not 180 degrees yet, but getting there.
Pharmacist will call for a refill on my Lamictal since I won't be able to see Neurologist until mid-February. Otherwise I would be without seizure protection. I is already bad enough that I know my Dilantin has been increased and the Lamictal had been cut by 1/2. For the life of me - could not figure out how to 'cut' pills; but, pharmacist said that isn't a good idea because I might not get what I needed due to the pills crumbling.
Weather is awful. Kids have been sick ... friends they were supposed to visit this weekend are sick, so right at the moment the trip is put off. Apparently the 'flu' is pretty bad in the southern states. But, to me the 'flu' means you have 'cold-like symptoms and feel really achy all over'. What they are describing is more like a 'bug' ... throwing up and diarrhea.

Ahhh, been on the road, big city driving most of the day and I’m beat! Stayed overnight with my DOS who is challenging to be with in so many ways, I held it together mostly. This morning the funeral was short and sweet like my Aunt, she had 2 children, 6 grandchildren and 7 great grands all in attendance and they shared happy memories of her rebellious nature, love of the seashore and beautiful clothes. I am glad I could go and help my family get back and forth— happy that Tomorrow I’m back to a sweet normal schedule and no driving yippee!!
The deep freeze is here and snow on the way

The top photo is the wall hanging that I made for my boss, the middle photo is the blanket that I made for our grandson, and the bottom photo is the wall hanging that I made for olur daughter in laws mom and dad. She thinks Christmas is best in gold and white, so I wanted to respect that. My boss loves red, so....
Need to take more photos, now that I've figured out how to do it, it shouldn't take me too long to get stuff posted!
Hope everyone is having a good day!
Please know that I am thinking of the folks that are in need, just not enough time to do individual comments. Hugs to all of you.
