Shelley, hydrangeas are soo pretty! I should look for one too. Paula, Kathy, Carla, want hydrangea in your garden? Might be fun if we all had one.
We are walking in 4 mins. DH will only let me do 3 miles. Okay...I'm happy! Foot much better. Figured out what to do with my walking shoes. Just fix the heel w/ some cushion. Got it!!
Must go now.

Helen (Derek's mom) has beautiful hydrangeas, but her house is on the market. Derek said it's cleaned out (an estate manager took care of everything). So I'll probably never go back. There isn't anything there that says "Helen" anymore.
Will try to do a bounce-free version of the workout tonight (if I don't fall asleep again :laugh: ).

Paula then you must get one to remind you of her! And you deserve to do potato workouts on your special day.
Chris what a wonderful idea. We just all get one, or two. So many choices. I need one that blooms on new growth. Or new and old. That way I should at least get blooms on the new growth each year. Old growth blooms could get killed during a bad freeze.
Paula I did know about the PH. Been reading lots on them. Let's all plant one. And tell us which one you chose. I am looking at some Will the leaf types. Did upper body today. Smacked my head with a dumbbell. Lol, that was dumb!

I love hydrangeas, I planted one on the side of my house the first year I moved in 14 years ago. They do well in the south of corse. It is bluish/purple when bloomed like the one in Paula’s picture. I’ll make sure to take a picture next year when it’s in full bloom. It’s huge now. I cut and have blooms in my house all summer.
Chris - glad your foot is better! Arms and thighs...toning needed badly.
Shelley - I’ve got to work more on my upper body. Need your guns.
Paula - sometimes sleep is the necessary workout!

Didn't get to my workout last night. I miss being in shape like when Shelley first taught me how to work out. I had the adrenaline addiction then, looked forward to it. Fell off the wagon and haven't been able to get back yet.
I got a friend request and looked at his website to see what we had in common. Answer "nothing" unless - maybe - am I a pretty girl? He's got a couple hundred friends - all pretty girls except for a couple dudes. I might keep the request to look at when I need a pick-me-up. :laugh:

Kathy I would love to see yours in bloom. Do you remember which one it is? I have been looking them up. There are so many types. And I have seen many from 2 feet up to 9 feet tall. So there is something for everyone.
I have a spot that a tall one would be perfect. 
Now get cracking on them upper body workouts.
Paula it is hard to get back into the swing of things. I am doing my workouts first thing in the morning with a co-worker. We meet in a back jury room. Lots of body weight workouts and some free weights. Today I added in bands. We are lucky enough to have space to do them. I hate those friend requests that are just collecting friends. I one time did not reply to a guy for months. When I did he did not even remember having sent me the request. I deleted him. He probably did not even notice!

Shelley, that is so cool! We had winding stairs up to the 6th floor. This was pretty good exercise tho. The hard part was deciding what to do with my sweaty body when I was finished.
Leaving to get the boys now.
Chris0 -
Well today I did not work out. I think it will be a rest day. Have to clean tanks tonight.
Thanks Chris. And we have the same issue, sweaty body! Baby wipes are my friend. Though I wish they did not have any scent!

Doing a charity "Walk against obesity" Saturday morning. Then a free "Summer's End" Concert In the Park in Half Moon Bay in the afternoon. Should be a nice day. Hoping for sunshine.
Got an invite from Wampus/Ilvermorny (jgundz and I got to know each other, so she stays in touch) and I joined - plan to just haunt the halls a little and not stress over all the assignments. The thing about ghosts is they just have to do one thing a week, special treatment, hey.
paula0 -
Shelley, we do agree on the baby wipes. Keep looking over my shoulder for a baby following me. EGADS!!!
Paula, sounds like a fun day today. Have fun with the other Wampus's (Wampi?).
We are walking to the post office this morning to mail our bills. Five miles!! Should be no problem.
Our trainer got a bug from one of her clients. She's really sick. Guess I'll do some TRX stuff today.
Chris0 -
Paula sounds like a really fun filled day. And you make an awesome ghost. Hope you got that 🌞.
Chris sorry about your trainer. Hopefully you worked out without her. But then again walking to the post office counts!
I was busy cleaning out a large garden bed. Still have more to do. Looking to do something different with it. Plants that do not multiple at all or very slowly at least. With long flowering habits. Zone 4 is a big plus. They say I am 5A, but don't count on it. Thoughts anyone? I have some hostas, peonies and now one hydrangea I want to keep in it.
Shell0 -
A mile and a half charity walk (after showing up at last years venue and finding out it had been moved to the next town over), then to drop off the wonderful, but no longer fixable Hoover vacuum at the electronics recycling, then a brief respite in the sun before heading to the Last Concert of Summer - music and dance from 1 to 7. Had Tylenol for dinner...

Shell, can you grow Lilac? I still remember their enchanting aroma at college in Ft. Collins.
paula0 -
I just remember college smelling like dukie! ewwe!
144.4 this morning at 5:00. Up and down and up and down! ***sigh***
We got the boys @ 6:00 last night for a few hours while DDD and SIL had dinner w/friends. We had fun! They were picked up around 9:30...way past everybody's bedtime.
DDD bestowed the dollhouse DH's dad made for her many, many years ago to Ronan. DH is repainting the outside. I'll get a picture when it's done. We took the box of tiny dolls and kitchens and bathrooms and bedrooms and playgrounds over to DDD to see if there was anything she wanted to hold near her heart...great grandpa was not a nice person...she went through the toys and pulled out what Ronan can play with now. Some of it is really tiny. This is going to be a great place for all his cars!!!
Must get going now.

Paula we have some lilac bushes. They can be a bit invasive for a garden bed. I have to keep looking. What a pain.
Chris I will be looking for a photo of the repurposed roll house.
More digging today.

Did our workout this morning. I really wanted to just sleep in. But glad I didn't.
Shelley0 -
Have a look! He had a ball this morning! Sara sent home the pieces she wanted him to play with. Those are her stickers on the walls and her rugs.

Very nice! But where is the Sheriff's truck? I must say the rocking chair and super hero's are fantastic. I am sure he loves it all. I love the imagination needed to play with it.
Got in my workouts today. Walked the kids and did upper body. Actually it was lower body with hands added where we could. I was going to goto Zumba tonight but they cancelled due to the instructor being sick.
Shelley0 -
Have a look at the 30-Minute Full-Body Jennifer Lopez Workout on YouTube and let me know what you think about it.
Chris0 -
Notice that all the cars and people are down...police to the rescue!! ...very serious!
1 -
Those police and sheriffs sure do save the day!1
-
You two are so nice to me.
Now that is an awesome patrol car! An actual black and white one. Though I do like the sneaky new ones out there. LOL
Got in a lower body work out this morning. Will look at the Jennifer Lopez workout Chris.

Is it the one with the gal on the right wearing a tank that says LOVE? If so those planks look like killers!
Shell0 -
Ronan is so proud of that car, and he shows everyone that the doors open and close!
Yeah, and no way I can even do half of what is on that video now. What do you guys want to work on next week? I'll look though everything I have.
Chris0 -
Anything you pick is good with me. I just add it to what I am doing now.
I did an upper body workout this morning. Kicked my bottom!
Shelley0 -
Shell, you are such a show off! :laugh: casually throws out "i'll just add it..." hee hee
paula1 -
Paula you are right. It did sound like that, sigh. Will you forgive me? Please, please, please! And I do not add it everyday.
Worked in the garden most of the day. Also prepping a tank for my new angel. It is fully cycled already. I bought a young fish that is already eating frozen food. Crossing my fingers. I trust this store. Just hope they do not send it to the wrong address! Should be here on Tuesday. Going to lower the salt level in the tank. Those stores are notorious for keeping the fish in lower levels to save money.
Shell0 -
I love it when you flaunt your prowess, Shell! Wear it with PRIDE!
Chris, Does Ronan like to wallop things with his cast? I think if I were a kid, I'd be bopping everything. :laugh:
paula1 -
Paula, no he doesn't. DDD taught him right off that it hurts. If you get bopped it's while you are playing, and it's unintentional. Tomorrow it comes off. Kaiser in Oakland saws it off then we have to drive miles away to another Kaiser for therapy...why don't they have these docs in the same place?
Walk for an hour and workout w/our trainer today. We get the boys at 7:00 a.m.
