    Mary from Arizona, where abouts? I love the RV life too. No mortgage and debt free. Even putting some away for the first time in my life! I have family around Prescott. Heading for Nevada next week.

    Janetr LOL! What a circus!

    @gpurvis63 Salt & carbs are 2 causes of water retention. When people go on a keto diet, it's not unusual for them to lose 10 lbs in a week due to glycogen stores (carbs in the muscles & liver) being used up. It's almost all water weight that first week or two. Mary has alluded to this.

    Carol You lost all your money with Edward Jones? Eeeek!!! Was this in 2001 or 2007-8 by any chance? Somebody from an investment firm came by to talk to us recently about rolling over 401Ks to IRAs and letting them manage it. I just dunno. I have worked so hard and been so frugal to be able to put some money away and now I'm reluctant to let someone else manage it. It feels scary especially when I am so close to retiring. But I don't know that I am doing such a great job myself...I just want to have enough for us to be able to retire comfortably.

    I think it's a good idea to pay off the mortgage but I still have one for about 3 more years.

    Hey Pip
    - did you ride out in that wind today? Looks like it's starting to back off a little bit - heading for Sue north of Seattle!

    Glad we didn't lose power.

    Lanette, yes I got the orthodic and it’s better than the over the counter one I was using. Ankle still hurts when I walk too much or twist my foot. Not sure when my MRI will be. Where I work has a benefit where if you have a test like an MRI and you schedule it with the most inexpensive place around, they give you a small check. I’m having the MRI changed to a smaller hospital a little further away. It’s so much cheaper that once I have the test, they will send me $100 for having it done cheaper.

    Spent all morning spring cleaning my kitchen. It looks so nice and clean. Got rid of everything that was out of date in the refrigerator and gave it a good cleaning. I have so much space now.

    Eating has been terrible and I’ve not been tracking. Why can’t I get back on track? Well tomorrow’s a new day.

    Welcome newbies! Hugs for those that need one and happy dance for the losers.

    How are my pacific coast ladies surviving today? We've had lots of rain and some wind gusts, but no power outage here.

    We're in Goodyear Arizona. Have fun in Nevada!

    Lanette - thanks! I'm very excited to work for that school district! Probably one of the best in Arizona.

    Machka- (((hugs))) and prayers for you and your husband <3

    :)Joyce , We live on the North Olympic Peninsula in Washington state. We can see the Olympic mountains wherever we go. Our home is in a 55+ manufactured home park with tall trees, trails, huge grassy fields to accommodate the septic system, and private roads driven on only by residents and people who come to the neighborhood. We own our home but not the land it sits on. Like many planned neighborhoods, there are rules about what you can put on your property and what color you can paint your house. We knew all this before we bought the house. The good thing is that no one else can paint their house a weird color, or build a strange fence, or leave a junker car in the front yard, or let their dogs run wild. Getting our fence approved was sort of a formality since it was vinyl (many fences here are vinyl), four feet high ( most fences here are four feet high) and along almost the same line as the old fence.

    :)Machka, I send my warmest regards along with all the others as you and your husband trudge this painful and scary road.

    :)Sharon, your granddaughter is beautiful.

    :) Today, I'll walk the dogs as usual, then meet a friend for a walk in the middle of the morning. Otherwise I'll be doing housework and helping Jake figure out where we want the gate in the new fence.

    Good Sunday morning from Sunny but COLD Ohio,

    <3 Machka Thank you for the update. I agree with Wendy. I am pissed on your behalf. I want all the information so that I am informed as to what we are looking at in terms of treatment and care. I join the others in sending prayers and warm thoughts your way.

    Sharon- I know you are proud of Keira. This is my youngest GD's first year of competition dance. Her team has won platinum twice and gold once. The teams are scored based on number of years competing and type of dance. Complicated to me. Thankful that two have been streamed live, so I got to see them. I just can't get over the makeup the young ones wear. Couldn't think of streaming either, but knew televised wasnt the right word either. ;)

    NYKAREN The festival judging sounds like fun even if long.

    Wow- It has been a long week! Folks out sick, finally back to full staff. Donovan (sil) is staying!!!!!! Yay!!!!! I am doing a happy dance. The electrician left his apprentice at our rental to install the lights-grumble....They are in such odd places. I am glad it isn't our house, but not happy! The upside is there are now lights. Spent the last 4 evenings over there doing odds and ends jobs. Started really cleaning the kitchen cabinets yesterday. Grands helped as well. Now I feel the need to really clean my home. I am so behind on my paperwork for home as well as work. Need a day to catch up, but felt the need to touch base.

    I hadn't heard anything else out about my friend, so checked the obituaries. He passed away on Wednesday evening. :'( I guess it is a blessing as he really was in so much pain. Funeral is Monday at 11. My Sister in law said she reckons I am going. I said yes. Don't know if DH will be going, but I am. I always looked forward to spring when he would come in and show me his new paintings and tell me about his trips. His smile and sense of humor will be missed.

    Introduced the grands to Chris Farley last night. They wanted to see a funny movie, so we watched "Beverly Hills Ninja". They really enjoyed it. Last time I introduced them to Chuck Norris. :) Going to try to get some home stuffs done today-haha. Really need to finish laundry.

    Time to go feed kids and DH. Have a blessed day! Prayers for healing and comfort to those in need. High fives to those with successes. Thank you to all for sharing and caring!
