    Karen - HAPPY BIRTHDAY! :drinker: :flowerforyou: <3

    Well, I got a reply to my email to the solicitors and now about ten docs have arrived in my in box. Some of them we have already done, like Identity and Money Laundering and Proof of Funds. :/:#:* I have emailed them to ask if we need to do it AGAIN!
    Anyway, it's progress.

    Sorted out another couple of writing boxes and put a whole lot of less important Philosophy books aside for collection. :D I'm keeping the classics.
    DH and I managed to manhandle the broken freezer into the back of the car along with some other junk and he took it to the dump. He's also sorted out some more rubbish to take another day.
    For the second time I'm advertising a really nice cast iron and brass bedhead on Freecycle. Hope someone wants it. :s

    Cooking a lamb and turnip stew for tonight. I've put a bit of star anise and allspice in it. I will be drinking smoked kombucha.

    Must do a bit of packing for tomorrow as we are taking souvenir food from the cruise, including the fermented herring and smoked reindeer meat. I will be out running first thing. Then a hair wash. Then into the car.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxx

    SusiMy husband cooks too and I have the same problem with his using too many fats. He is insulted if I mention it or don’t eat a full portion. Even though we are living in an RV, he cooks the same.

    Karen in VA - Happy Birthday!! <3:) Glad your A/C is fixed. I am surprised at how many of the older ones keep chugging along. They aren't as energy efficient as the newer ones, but they seem to have been made with better parts.

    Rebecca- lordy girl, gorgeous photo! Are you sure you just had surgery?? Glad for your sake it is over!! Hope you are better than great once you are all healed up! B)

    Lenora     - glad to see you popping in!! Love to hear your stories!

    Cheri - love your beautiful house and furnishings. Sounds like the perfect neighborhood for you! Good luck with your medical tests!

    Rita - neat photos of the SW. Is your DH all healed up from his kidney stone?

    Katla - sounds like you'll be able to have some nice adventures in your RV; glad it's ignited a "spark" in your DH. This cooler weather is perfect for fair going in my opinion. Our county fair isn't until the 3rd week of August which is when we generally have a terrible hot spell. Not looking forward to the one coming up this weekend and into next week.

    Kate - seems like it varies week to week whether a person should take fish oil supplements. I wasn't eating much seafood for a while so bought a big bottle of them then started reading negative things. So I just take one every other day, which is what I also do with calcium citrate. Yes, calcium builds bones BUT according to some docs it also puts calcium in the arteries I guess. This probably has to do with if a person has an acid or alkaline system. It's all getting to be confusing to me. Our bodies are complicated and finely tuned machines, lol. B) I am amazed they work as well as they do.

    DH headed off to a doc appointment this morning so I have the house to myself. Nice and quiet. Dogs napping. Me puttering.

    Hey, where is Janetr??? Missing her! And welcome Newbies!

    OK ladies, have a good day!

    CJ & Mary--Sorry to hear the news and sending prayers.
    Margaret--Your yard sounds beautiful and a great place just to hang out and relax.
    Rita--Enjoy sharing your adventures and the pictures. Thanks for sharing.

    Rebecca--Thanks for the update and you are looking good.
    Machka--With everything you have had to deal with the last couple months I am amazed at how well you have done.
    I have not been doing well with my eating. I have to get my ducks in a row. Our DD moved out last weekend and I am worried sick. She moved in with her meth dealing boyfriend. She would not listen. Done all we could and she is 42 so has to learn. Tough love earns it's name.
    Blessings, Vicki GI NE

    Good afternoon. Been off for 3 wks or so with a nasty summer chest cold.Still coughing but feeling much better.Hub says I have lost some wt......a surprise as he never remarks on wt. Once my appetite kicks in,it will be but a memory.......

    SIL is back in hospital. His meds have caused dizzyness & they are adjusting them.Meds seem to be a Pandoras box,needed,but each brings problems along.He is a son to us,a wonderful person.Hurts to have him hurt.

    Sorry to hear about the problems so many are having.Such a sorrowful thing to lose a child.

    MARY,We went down that road with younger DD.Her colon had grown around & attached to several other organs......was the short diagnosis. Took 3 surgeons over 10 hrs,with the one slowly,slowly ,going inch by inch to detach where needed & closing as he went. Did a great job.She was in hosp 3 wks & a long recovery,but is in fine health a few yrs after. The worry was a b....
    Thankful to the Lord & prayers for your DD.

    Love the Joaquin pic.....so sweet.

    Good luck to ppl looking for a new house.Love Cher’s new place. So homey!

    Was going to remark on getting rid of “stuff” & especially on allowing it to happen with other ppl’s “goodies”...but that can wait for another day.

    Got a bit of packing done and made a list of things to take. DH has packed one tape measure, but I think we need another one. :D Wonder what we'll make of the house on a second viewing!

    Rebecca - Good to see you looking so chirpy! <3

    I am home.. long work day but picked up the memory pillows, that were made with my dads shirts,delivered all of them except for my nephews , my brother and daughter cried, and my granddaughter was just flabbergasted.. I kept the work shirt he wore most, and It is very emotional to see how they react....but what a wonderful memory..

    I really wish I had done this with one my Fathers shirts. What a wonderful thing to have.

    I'm here, just been recouping from all the family activity and the let down of all the company gone and activities over. Staying on track. Almost to my goal of lowest post surgery weight. Picture is what i wore to the baby shower but don't look closely. I was just trying it on, i have no makeup on nor my hair done.

    Happy birthday, Karen.

    Rebecca good to see you looking so well. Hugs!!

    Trying to keep up with the group can be daunting. Still working out with kettlebell and about 3 miles on treadmill, pretty much daily.

    Love yoy all ladies.
