WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR APRIL 2018

PackerFanInGB

@margaretturk Those flower pics are beautiful! I cannot wait to see daffodils and hyacinths come up in our yard. I was just watching the Weather Channel and they are actually on site in Minneapolis (where I'm from originally and family still is) and it looks much like it does here. Does Mother Nature not understand it is mid-April?

Good morning ladies! Beautiful cool day here today! Mid 70s with sunshine! Sorry to hear about all the snow up north. Margaret thinking of you and Gayle! But, that is the reason why we are down here! My exercise is going well. I am starting to feel strong while swinging the 40 pound Kettlebell. I am slowly increasing the number of sets. I know that I will be using this one for quite a while. If you want a flat muscular stomach, tight buns and thighs, toned arms, and strong bones stick with the Kettlebell! Kate and Janetr can attest to that! Yeah ladies! I lost 6.2 pounds the last 2 weeks since prepping and starting my keto diet. My husband is now down 11 pounds. We have moved to a new lot site here at our RV resort. Since I am going to be teaching we moved over to the inside wall that has Internet and cable. We also get a view of the mountains out our back picture window. When we get finished setting up I will post pictures. Now it's time for me to do my kettle bell workout and take Shep for a walk. We will then go to the pool to enjoy swimming and sitting in the hot tub! This afternoon we have plans to go to the movie rampage. So much for do!

Here is a picture of Shep he is such a happy boy! He is two years and five months old now.



Have a great day everyone!

Happy Saturday ladies! It's afternoon and I'm still in my pj's. I had so many plans in my head for today and then I woke up to a snowstorm. It will be a day of staying inside, reading and working on a baby quilt I started.

No flowers blooming in our yard yet. The birds and squirrels were trying so hard to get at the bird feeder. My DH shoveled a path from our deck to the birdfeeder and threw more seeds out. I think the robins are confused with the 50 mph gusts of wind and all this snow! We live in the white area of Green Bay...18-30 inches of snow. UGH.

Will try to pop in later. Hope you are all having a great day!

Yes it is just plain NASTY!!!!!

Need to see some flowers today!

Lovely , winter weather getting long!

I still walk in the morning wearing heavy leggings under my jeans, wool socks, warm boots, two cotton shirts and a sweatshirt, a heavy coat, and a wool hat. It is more like spring during the day with daffodils, hyacinths, and tulips blooming in our yard. But the drizzly cold weather makes working in the yard unpleasant. When I read about the weather in Minnesota and northern New York, I realize how fortunate we are here. When the Seattle Mariners played the Twins in Minnesota, I couldn't believe how cold it was at the baseball game.

Katla, isn't it satisfying to get things out of the kitchen that aren't being used. We did a lot of that when we moved into the house we are in a few years ago. It's easier to get rid of things when you're moving.

Heather, I'm not surprised that you are stressed. Moving all by itself is a stressful event. Besides that, you have your book to publish and the concern about how your sons will react. Keep staying in the moment and before long, you'll be waking up in the joyous environment of your new house and new neighborhood.

Pip, sending hugs to you and Kirby

Jake helped this afternoon by fixing lunch and then keeping the pets in another room while I ran the vacuum (and he made no "helpful" comments about how I could have done a better job.

Michelle: Good luck finding a brass cleaner you like. There seems to be quit a few choices.

Barbie: It sounds like Jake is quite a bit better. YAY!!! :flowerforyou:

Pip: We haven't seen your scarf yet. I'll let you know when we've put it back into the mail. (((hugs)))

Becca: You seem to be thriving. YAY!!! :bigsmile:

(((BETTY ROC)))

(((Margaret))) Your weather looks extreme to me. I hope you stay warm, well and happy. Our backyard is water, too, but not frozen. We live on the banks of the Columbia River and it isn't anywhere near flood stage. Thank goodness!


I reorganized two of my kitchen cupboards today. Both look so much better! We put quite a few kitchen appliances out in the garage to be donated and added one or two in the house. The net result is cleaner counters & cupboards and newer, (hopefully) better appliances. Yay!!! (These are little appliances like food savers rather than stoves and refrigerators.)

Snowstorm Evelyn has now been upgraded to Blizzard Evelyn. Looks like tomorrow will be a day of decluttering closets, baking banana bread and working on my quilt. Or maybe a cup of hot tea, curled up with a good book? Sure wish we had a fireplace on nights like this!

Heather you sure do have a lot going on! Moving and publishing a book? I'm guessing it is your memoirs that you were working on? Sending you hugs and positive peaceful vibes from Wisconsin. I would be having panic attacks I think.

Mary in Arizona You sure did move in the right direction! Are you liking living in Arizona? My dad has a winter home in Mesa. He is returning to Minnesota next week (just a bit north of Brainerd).

Have a good night everyone!

Well my first vacuuming..... The outlets are huge, (older), so nothing like bending the prongs to keep the vacuum on! I swept the front porch, and so I wasn't a slug the whole day! The house came with a smaller vacuum, and I have that upstairs to do the bedroom, bsthroom, closet and vanity area. By the time I get all that done and work my way down the hallway, and stairs the vacuum should be emptied. Maybe I might enjoy cleaning this place!

I've been trying all week put a picture on here, i can't do from PC or tablet.

Doing well here, windy and cold today. It will freeze again tonight. We have quite a large wild fire out west of here. Last evening the air was dense with smoke and we could even smell it inside.

Love you my friends

Barbie – what great news about Jake!

Stopped at the church to pick up some donations. See, I was put on the schedule to get the donations NEXT weekend, but it was in the bulletin that it would be this weekend. So I just stopped and got what there was and if there’s any more, I’ll get it tomorrow when I’m supposed to go to be Eucharistic Minister.

Had dinner. Was pretty good, only I thought there was too much grease in the sauteed veges. At least they were fresh veges. Then went to go see the play Blue. It was a sell out. Really good show.

Kate – yes, Brasso is available here. Did your mom need to use a lot of elbow grease?

Janetr – Olivia is so adorable I could just squeeze her. How do you control yourself?

Guess I’d better get to bed.

Janetr Can Olivia get any more adorable? That is the sweetest picture.

Thank you, she is for sure a doll. She's a tiny little thing and our son, her Dad is 6'5" lol Olivia's dad's girlfriend is a photographer. She can't make enough yet to go full time but at this rate it may happen. She captured the perfect moment in this one for sure.
