    Watching episode 3 series 1 of St Elsewhere Denzel Washington is so young, loving it as much as the first watch in 1980s

    Suebdew - lovely to see spring has sprung! How gorgeous! Is that a Pecan orchard I see in the background?

    Heather, thanks so much for posting the info about your book. I haven't yet looked on Amazon, but will soon. Will have to do the paperback version, can't read on the computer in bed and don't own a Kindle (yes, I'm the one person who doesn't own one! lol)
    Michele, the gnome is just adorable!
    Lisa, the furniture looks lovely! Nice that your son is living close enough to see on a regular basis, but still far enough away that you can still have your own lifestyle! Congrats on onederland!
    Sue, your garden looks lovely! I have a few daffodils blooming, my tulips are budding, grape hyacinth and bluebells are also budding. The two blueberry bushes that I dug up and brought with us (that was not easy to do!) seem to be doing okay, hoping for some fruit this year! One had fruit on it a few years ago, last year it got disturbed, so nothing :( . Keeping my fingers crossed for this year.
    Machka, again, thank you so much for taking the time to keep us updated! So happy to hear that hubby is showing some improvement and that you are getting into a bit of a routine.
    Rentals: haven't had to rent for many years, but when we were, apartments always had fridge and stove, laundry was communal. Only ever had one rental apartment with a dishwasher, wouldn't get one now without! Houses seem to usually have laundry also, but sometimes just the hook-ups. We didn't go for those as we couldn't afford to buy the appliances. When we bought our first house, we had to purchase all appliances, we bought used as, again, we just couldn't afford to get all new. As the appliances died (the clothes washer went first - it worked hard!) we replaced. When we sold to the developer and the house was being torn down, we kept the fridge and got all the other appliances new. We bought a new build, basic appliances were included, but we upgraded a bit. We sold for more than we had to pay so we had the luxury of upgrading a few things! Our fridge was only a few years old and we really like it so..... Sold our washer and dryer, and the fridge and washer from the other side of the duplex, gave our stove and dishwasher to our son and daughter in law. Didn't sell the appliances for a lot of money, but every little bit helps and we just wanted someone else to be able to use them.
    Have been just skimming for the past week or so, too many posts to keep up with!
    Welcome to the newbies, hugs for those needing them and congrats to those celebrating victories!

    REBECCA love you, you have such a great imagination and wouldn't it be great if we could all get together and chat and walk and run and cook up a storm.

    Awe, ditto! You really are all my "sisters-in-hearts".

    Just learned yesterday my grandson is in hospital with partial smAll bowel obstruction. He was a preemie and had several surgeries on his intestines. He is 15 now and runs track. Please say a prayer or good wishes for Connor.

    I'll remember Connor in prayer. It's hard too young ones suffer. Keep us updated. (((Hugs)))

    :)Heather, Congratulations on the launching of your book. It will be so meaningful to so many people.

    :)Rebecca, that would be a wonderful retreat at your house. I could teach line dance along with everything else we'll be doing.

    :) I have been sleeping much better since I made meditation a regular part of my life. What I now about meditation I learned primarily from reading Dan Harris's two books, "10% Happier" and "Meditation for Fidgety Skeptics".

    :) Today started as a sunny beautiful day and I had high hopes of spending time in the yard. When I finished my household chores and took out the garbage can, there was rain mixed with hail, so no yard work today. :'(

    *16,000 steps
    *200 minutes walking Sasha and Bessie
    *148 minutes riding the exercise bike

    Love Heather UK XXXXXX

    I too down loaded your book first thing I saw your post. Read part of the intro but had an appointment for my macular degeneration check, anxious to get reading it.

    I think you are amazing. <3. By the way, I am a counter and patterns person myself.

    Heather - done and dusted - review should be showing up soon... it's really good! And deeply disturbing, at the same time. So many echoes in my own life, while having a completely different experience. But it does explain some of my own behaviors from that time in different ways, and thank you for that.
