Oh, CJ, what devastating news. I am so sorry!
Cheri, the house is just beautiful. I, of course, am jealous of the floors.
I cooked Keto twice-baked cauliflower for supper tonight. It was ok. Honestly, though, I prefer plain cauliflower. I served it with ham and steamed cabbage wedges. I will admit it was a decent substitute for the Mac and cheese, which is what we normally would have had. The recipe called for bacon, but I left that out. Everything else I used: sour cream, cream cheese, Parmesan, cheddar, a little cream, and green onions.

Katla you might try donating the glass to artist or an art school. Many artist paint or use the glass for tiles and mosaics. CJ

CJ so sorry! Prayers!
I am really enjoying the birds this year. We have had so many nests in our yards. Just found a finch nest today. Hearing the cardinals right now. We also have been getting a monarch almost everyday. I leave the milkweed in our garden and I have witnessed eggs being laid. I no longer use any weed killer in our yard or systemic to kill the Japanese beetles. Yes we have weeds but I 'll have weeds and some Japanese Beetles if it means I see the frogs in our yard, monarchs, and birds feeling this is a place to have their nests. This year we had two wren families, cardinals, robins, and now finches. I have also seen more bumble bees. I also figure if they poison the weeds they poison me and others too! After my friend and I walked we sat in our bacd yard and watched a gold finch take a drink at the bird bath. Simple pleasure. I want to post a sign that says I do not live at a golf course I am making peace with weeds to protect the bees, frogs, and birds.

CJ-so sorry to hear your news. I will be praying for you and your family
I wanted to check in about my July goals:
10-11K steps a day: I took yesterday off-not feeling well; but otherwise yes!!!
Continue to track food daily: Yes!
Ask for names/phone numbers of personal trainers at my gym and call someone! Had to submit paperwork-just heard I have to submit an additional clearance form, probably because I am old and have had back issues.
Do planks every day: Yes (except yesterday)! Up to a whopping 44 seconds!
Lose 5 pounds: Yes!! Already done it!4 -
Mary there is an app called Danio Diary. It is a hyper secure, HIPPA. Compliant system to permit communications between patient's care facility or hospital and family. DM me and if you want, I can send you information about it. CJ0

Katla, my car is a 2008 Honda CRV. We do not tow it. I drive the car and DH drives the motorhome.
I loved the caves and have lots of pictures. Going to the overlook soon to see from above. I hope tomorrow. One day while we are here we are going to drive half the ET Highway to Rachel Nevada. We want pictures of Area 51 signs and eat at the Restaurant in Rachel that serves ET burgers! LOL!

Did 10 Minute Fitness Ball Workout today. The plan for tomorrow is to do the water class.
Rebecca – thinking of you today
NYKaren – how horrible! Thank you for being there at the funeral.
Well, Vince went to the practice at Charlotte Motor Speedway. This is the first time ever that they’re having the roval so it should be interesting. While he was gone I went to WalMart to get a few things then had to go to Food Lion to get chicken. I want Vince to grill pork chops and chicken, maybe Friday since the change for rain is lower. Came home and made him a banana chocolate cake and while it was baking pitted about 1-1/2 bags of cherries (that were on sale). Now I’m trying baking the pizza balls that I’ll take to Rummikub tonight. The recipe says to bake them for 20 minutes and am I glad that I did it now because they were black on the bottom. So now I’m trying baking them for 15 minutes. If they’re still black, I’ll try them for 10 minutes. Then I think I’ll go in the pool. Update: never made it to the pool. Decreased the oven temp to 350 and baked them for 15 minutes.
Snowflake, there are a few things that I’m busy searching for. If they have them, I would love to have them shipped to me. I’ll PM you with the things that I’m looking for
Cheri – how beautiful
I’m not sure why the banana chocolate cake is sticking to the pan. I really sprayed it. I’ll just let it cool some more.
I didn’t do well today. Funny thing is – my stomach feels “yuk”. But I feel obligated to try everything that people bring, especially since I am the coordinator. Well, back on track tomorrow
CJ – how horrible! Will keep your granddaughter in my thoughts and prayers
Just saw a post of Rebecca on facebook. She’s looking good. Evidentally, no problems with the surgery

I'm back from visiting my daughter and grandies. Successfully completed the half marathon in atrocious weather conditions. Rain and a head wind blowing off the ocean. I was soaked down to my undergarments and had to steep myself in a hot bath afterwards to raise my body temperature back up. But got a nice medal! As well as a large blister, LOL. My leg muscles are still sore today.
Machka, great to hear that your hubby is at home and hope his progress speeds up in his own familiar environment. Will be less stressful on you to not have to go to the hospital all the time.
Barbie, love that pic of your poodle barking at herself in the mirror. Animals are so funny! And thanks again for keeping us all linked in cyber space! Pretty soon Lanette will have our transporters up and running and we can drop in on each other for morning tea, and then all go to Heather's for a proper six course dinner.
I played a joke on my husband when I got home. My youngest daughter is so excited because she is pregnant. She has been trying ever since the ectopic pregnancy emergency surgery six months ago. She gave me her positive pregnancy test stick and told me to pretend to my husband that I was pregnant. I showed it to him and he said, "You can't be!" and I said, "You must have grown back together-20% do," referring to his vasectomy. "But you can't get pregnant at 52!" "Oh yes I can, I still get my periods, " I said. "It must be yours because I haven't shagged anyone else!" "I want a DNA test to prove it's mine!" he said. I made him sweat for 30 minutes before I told him he's going to be grand dad again. LOL I was laughing so hard I cried! Wendy
HAHAHAHA!1 -
CJ- thanks so much for your prayers mine go out to your granddaughter, you and your family. You do definitely want to help them through these tough times (((Hugs)))0

Hi Gals,
Oh my – life got the better of me, 345 post to read!!!
Mary – great news that your daughter is showing improvement. LATER – sorry to hear she’s doing poorly – sending good thoughts
Couple of stray comments on wills/trusts ect… so be sure the will and your property is in your current name, by property – I mean car, house, rv, and stocks, bonds, bank accounts… My grandmom was married 5 times, and always changed her name but never changed it on the old accounts, the house, a business …. 5 years of lawyers! GRR and a ton of money down the drain. Your executor (in California at least) can be anyone you trust – a friend, family member, clergy…. And for families that get along doing little may work, but in my family and in others a death of someone with any amount of money seems to bring out relations that either we have never met or only once at the last time they were trying for $$$. If it is all clearly written out and at least looked over by a lawyer the headaches for those still living is less.
Beth – sending strength
Peach – Sorry to hear about your friend
Allie – that sounds like the perfect job for you
Pip – sending hugs
Heather – great interview
NYKaren – (((hugs)))
I had my god daughter visit for 4 days we had a great time, and ended it with a bang?? We gardened together, cooked, went to Budweiser Brewery for a tour and had a great time. She has been thinking about breaking up with her boyfriend of 2 years. He is very nice, but not really a match, they are in different places in life with different goals – she’s 22 starting her masters, has visited 22 countries and 40 US states, fluent in English and Spanish, can get along in Mandarin, she is headed to her doctorate in Physical Therapy, she is career oriented, politically active, and has strong beliefs and opinions – He’s 20 has left California only to go see my god daughter in Boston, but really misses home and isn’t that interested in travel, wants a nice wife and to have 6 kids and live a few blocks from his parents. He has an EMT certificate and will be looking for his first job. He’d be happy to be the bread winner and have his wife cook, clean and raise kids. She broke it off with him at my house – lots of tears! In the long run for the best but heart breaking. He was so in love he did not see the differences. I was so glad to be there for her.
Then a couple of days after she left to go back to Boston, my nephew, my mom (his grandma) and I did a day trip to Monterey Bay Aquarium what a delightful place, I have been before and love it! There is so much to see. It is right on the pacific ocean and has the waves of the ocean come right into the tidal pools that are indoors. As well as HUGE salt water tanks, the one that has it’s own growing kelp forest is 28 feet tall and 65 feet long with all the walls of tank being glass with 320,000 gallons (us) of water! In addition to kelp there are hundreds of species of fish.
So while I did not spend the night away I got such a good change of pace that I feel like I got a vacation.

Hello Everyone!
I’m new to the group and celebrating another year. My July goal is to get active - AGAIN. Not sure what that is going to look like. But I will definitely be moving5 -
Kim- thanks for the good thoughts. Glad you had fun with your Goddaughter. She sounds amazing. I'm sure that she wanted you with her during a life changing event because she knows how much you care about her. It's nice that you feel like you had a vacation! I know you said that you really needed one.
