    Clever people can look it up on street view. :)B)
    No plans or photos because it was brand new on the market.
    Detached, parking, storage garage, garden, good condition. You can see the sea from the front gate. :D<3
    The vendors have had an offer accepted on a house with no chain. They want to move quickly. Crossing every finger and toe.

    Love Heather UK XXXXXX

    Oh, Heather, it looks a dream!! I've never been to England and we can't drive the motor home over so I guess I'm gonna have to save my pennies. :). So excited for you. I hope it all works out.

    We had a power failure last night and the battery backup on our clock didn’t work so I got up late. Actually, I got up about the right time but figured I’d go back to bed and the alarm would wake me up. Only it didn’t. So I changed to doing an extreme strength training DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to take the water class. My UPS was fried, not sure if it was because of the power outage or what. Fortunately, Vince had another one so I’m up and running. But I did lose internet connection

    After class I’m going to go and see about getting rye bread for Vince and then to WalMart to get items so I can cook Saturday.

    Katla – I hope your dog has an enjoyable fourth of July

    Teresa – welcome! Come back soon and tell us more about yourself.

    Heather – congrats on the house!

    I got this bubba mug and evidentally the person before me had coffee in it. I don’t like coffee. It’s probably been about 1-1/2 years since I had even a taste of it. I just don’t care for it. But even when I did have some, it tasted too bitter to me. I had it at a Marriott hotel so I’m sure they don’t have poor quality coffee. Anyway, since Monday (or maybe it was Tuesday), I’ve had the mug filled with water and I put peppermint oil in it. I thought I’d taken care of the problem because last week at bowling I put a peppermint starlight (hard mint) in my water at bowling. But this week I could taste the coffee again. Fortunately, we don’t have bowling Monday because of the 4th, so hopefully, this will take care of it. Anyone else have any suggestions as to how to get rid of that nasty coffee taste?

    Dana – have fun at the campground!

    Mary – I am so sorry for you and your daughter. I’m really surprised that they aren’t moving quicker to get this taken care of. Vince had a bowel obstruction a while ago and he was in lots of pain

    Rebecca – I’ll tell you my breakfast if you promise not to laugh. Mixed vegetables, Tone It Up protein, applesauce and blueberries. Stop chuckling under your breath….lol

    Kate UK – lovely skirt

    Went in the pool (natch), changed the pool filters, now Rover is running, put air in my float, got things ready to take to the Salvation Army tomorrow

    Janetr – you look great. HB to Jack

    Need to color my roots and take a shower.

    Michele in NC

    No judgements here! <3
    Love, Rebecca

    Well my breakfast this morning. What did y'all have?

    Nothing ... as usual.

    Oh, except for my black coffee and tall glass of cold water.

    Good morning!
    Am trying to stay productive....thank you for the support! Car show tomorrow so skipping work, yay! Husband wanted help cleaning car last night...I told him no. I had things that needed to be done. Vacuumed house, cleaned kitchen, finished laundry, paid property taxes-ugh! Did work paperwork for 90 mins before bed.
    Breakfast is not my favorite meal time. I am not hungry in morning. About 1030 I am ready to eat. I like leftovers then. Breakfast foods are our go to dinner. Fast and easy.
    It is hard when our kids are hurting. Prayers for healing.
    CBD - it was recommended to me for migraines and knee pain. May need to try.

    Went back to sleep after doggie got me up at 4. Slept in. Oops. Time to get ready for work.
    Stay hydrated in the heat. Stay warm in the cold. Prayers and hugs for those in need. Congratulations and smiles for all the great works both large and small.
    Donovan, my son in law that works with us is from Bentonville. He has been keeping me updated on world series. Haven't seen news yet today......

    Have a blessed day!
    Kylia in Ohio still swimming but having great support!

    So busy. 8 hour+ days, 6 days this week and little time for anything else.

    Thanks Barbara and Evelyn, I too think Kidd Kirby is a complete doll, but I know I start from a very biased place.

    Today, even Charlie Underfoot wishes I’d just slow down and play with him.

    The garage is still flooding when we run the clothes washer so Sunday will be spent at the laundrymat. We don’t have a spare five to ten grand to run a new sewer connection line to it, so we are out of luck. I am very glad we have 4 sets of sheets (especially since the cats share our bed) but will curse when we have to spend the hours there necessary to get everything washed.

    Scale is behaving. Exercise is minimal beyond the strength training. Might be able to get a bit of swim in on the 4th, I hope. (Of course I’ll be working on the 4th too, just not a full shift because they are closing earlier).

    So I’ll wish you all the best, not sure how much I’ll be around but I do usually have a slow down in the early evening at work where I can catch up reading about y’all - but my participation will be curtailed by the demands on my time.

    If I grab a good kitty pic I may try to share it with you, but prob won’t have much time for more until and unless I can adjust to this schedule.

    Love, best wishes, hugs and congrats to all,

    Rye

    I just tried bar keepers friend on a stainless steel pot I had let go dry on the stove the other day. The inside did not sustain any damage, but the pot had a nice black coat on it. With the bar keepers friend it got most of the black off. Thanks for helping me remember how well it works on stainless steel. It also works on porcelain, but check in a spot first and do not rub hard on the porcelain.

    Rebecca: Don't worry about the whole Island at once. Pick a destination and visit there, then go home. On some other day, pick another destination. You'll be glad you did. Whidbey has some great spots and loads of nice people. :flowerforyou:

    Lisa: Happy Anniversary!!! :heart:

    Tasteoheaven: Many of us have been here for a long time. I've been here for 2082 days, and counting. The system here is good and this particular group of women is amazing. I hope you'll join us. :star:

    Lanette: Our dog has so much trouble with booms & bangs at the Fourth of July celebration that we've reserved a campsite where they aren't allowed at all. I'm hoping for a peaceful Independence Day and a happy first trip in our new to us RV. :smiley: We get the RV tomorrow for a test run and I think it will remain in our custody. We're supposed to get the propane filled and fill the gas tank as well. We also need drinking water. If the test result is great, we'll bring it home and start moving in. I'm hoping we can have some adventures and fun in this process. DH hasn't had much fun in the past few years. I've had outlets that give me things to do and new friends, from yoga classes to horseback riding. He's been getting by. That is one of the reasons I wanted the RV. I hope he'll be able to have a little adventure and fun. :heart:

    Margaret: I love your wonderful garden photos and look forward to seeing them. Thank you for sharing! :flowerforyou:

    (((Mary & also for your daughter)))

    Pip: So sorry about the work stress. I hope things improve asap. :heart:


    Busy day tomorrow. I hope we all have a good one.

    Katla in beautiful NW Oregon

    You have insight to look at situations in their simplest forms. 👍. I will do that!

    Slowly going back down to where I was with the weight. My dealings with vertigo put me up 4 lbs this month. I know I shall see those numbers on the scale, and looking forward to clothes falling off this old body! Haahaa! I do have some "slimmer clothes" in the back of my closet. Hopping to wear those soon.👍.

    Yep, I don't give advice to my eldest son, unless he asks for it. Poor kid though, most of this week has just been work, sleep, eat something, repeat. He recd a scooter engine in the mail, and was tinkering with it yesterday. You'd think because he works with her engines all week, and working on a scooter engine would be the last thing he'd do, but no. I suppose its like a librarian, that on her off time, reads comic books like she's eating her favorite candy! Its good he has a hobby!

    The other night the realtor guy called us, because he had gotten a frantic text from the owner! I guess the owner recd a late notice from the electric company for this house. We told him that our son pays the electric bill, and he has it on automatic payment. We looked into it, told son, and I guess the electric company put his automatic request in, in the wrong account number. Essentially, paying for his old place again! He got it all situated, but that owner we fear, will be a thorn in our side. The fact that, with this being a rental, and him leaving so much stuff around, make a us unsettled. Like he is letting us live here until he deems otherwise. There are 4-5 cans of gasoline in a shed outside, under the eaves of the house. There are 4 rakes hanging, two plastic bins of tree limbs. Husband said, he put it all on the list of stuff left, so I can't touch it.

    Well Bill paying to do, and commissary shopping to get done. Of course son wanted to go, to pick out his stuff, but he won't be up for a bit yet! He is not a morning person!

    Hugs everyone!!

    Janetr "Ugh old men!!" LOL!!!

    Heather I adore your naughty grandchildren.

    Michele The bleach and boiling water treatment works on ceramic & porcelain as well as stainless steel. Or you can use vinegar and boiling water which works well for removing coffee oils but doesn't bleach as well.

    Katla I'm excited for your RV adventure. It's fabulous that your husband is getting a new lease on life!

    Had to look up Bar Keeper's Friend. Sounds useful!

    Mary- so hoping your DD is getting treatment. My DGS who is 15 jest had surgery for a small bowel obstruction. They usually treat it by no food or drink for four days (I’ve had it twice) but his pain was so server that morphine wouldn’t control it. They found a twisted colon when they did the surgery. Will pray for her.
    DANA- that is a great swimming hole. The kids look like they are having a great time.

    So husband made some cheap chicken noodle soup for his lunch today. Told me I should have some. So I spied it, added a spoonful of mashed potato from the other night, some wild rice, some green beans, a tsp of chicken stock, some cayenne pepper, and turmeric. Then he comes from the kitchen and states that I didn't leave any of the basic soup out, and had doctored up the whole pot. "Well you can always have the broth of my soup", I reply. Hmm, we have such different tastes! For me the more complicated, the better!

    Well we are definitely reaping the benefits of retired military. Sure we have to pick a number at the base clinic pharmacy, but its free. We do have to buy out in town his magnesium, vitamin D, multi vitamin, and calcium carbonate. Thinking of checking out a vitamin store, and see if they have cheaper, maybe being a member we would have some perks.
    Carol, love the bedroom set, really beautiful!

    Pip, ooh evaluation time is no fun! The whole "do as I say, not as I do" mentality is frustrating! When the managers need to learn more skills then just delegating tasks! If only you could use your tried and true boot on them!

    Hugs every one!

    I am with your husband, the more simple the better. :)
