WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR SEPTEMBER 2018

SophieRosieMom

Wendy - I just noticed a Facebook post by Tom Ryan, author of "Following Atticus" (he climbed a lot of mountains in New Hampshire with his mini schnauzers).

Evidently he had some really bad health issues several years ago, probably related to his obesity including kidney and heart and other organ failure.

So in the post today, he is announcing he has lost 35 lbs in 7 weeks and is feeling strong and healthy and ready to climb some mountains again. He attributes his weight loss and energy to cutting out processed foods and to the eating plan in Dr. Greger's "How Not to Die" book and cookbook.

I know you're a fan of Greger's books and thought you'd get a kick out of this. It sounds like it has literally saved Ryan's life.

I read "Following Atticus " and highly recommended it

Our Skype session with the grandchildren was as chaotic as usual! They spent most of it making silly faces at us with Bea shouting to be allowed her turn. Lovely to see them though and I like them to see us when we can't visit in person. Our next trip down there is Sept 23rd, which is Edie’s birthday. Of course, we had hoped to be moved by then.
They also want us to babysit the 10th and the 17th of October as the nanny is away. I said "as long as we aren't actually moving then"! !!!! If we haven't moved we might stay the night before so we can take the kids to school etc. It will just be Bea during the day. There is a chance we might be down there by then.

Love to all, Heather UK xxxxxxx

Hello ladies: Got DD to the airport this morning and she is now in Denver. She and her BF fly out this afternoon to Orange County. They are spending the night on the Queen Mary and taking the paranormal tour. I came home and took a nap. Starting my day at 4:30 am is not on my favorites list. Dson came over and got a piece down from our roof for Dish Network. We have gotten rid of them as every time we turned on the TV it said complete signal loss. We bought a new Roku TV with all sorts of apps to watch instead. We may eventually get an antenna to pull in local stations.

Pip - Enjoy your ride!

dandl1986 - Your horse dummie sounds interesting. I have trouble getting on as I have knee replacements and there is small instability in the left knee. Luckily I have a very patient horse, but some sort of dummie for practice and strengthening sounds like a good idea.



Wendy - A unicorn for you.

Everyone take care, Sue in WA

SophieRosieMom

Sue in WA - Love your unicorn. I bet your daughter will have a lot of fun on that paranormal tour.

We have Roku and love it, and have a "leaf" antenna in the window which picks up a few local stations depending on the weather as we are quite a ways from the transmitter. PBS channels come in great and we love watching those when the internet goes out. Also, if you want local news, install the "NewsON" app if you haven't found it yet. Free news and weather from stations all over the Pacific Northwest, not just Seattle.

Lanette, I get annoyed when I watch news and the island is completely blank. I'm like, really? Are we are Mars or something? You could at least have one temperature in there somewhere!

Rebecca, we are kind of like that down here. When we had Dish or DirecTV, the only options were Seattle stations and they rarely mentioned any weather south of Olympia.

I depend on internet either the National Weather Service or Weather Underground when it decides to work, lol, for the weather predictions. The Weather Channel is pretty good and doesn't take forever to load.

How's the vertigo today?

My September goal is to start up with the Wii fit stuff again.

Today the WiiFit program got a tad upity with me:

I was able to be a tad smug tho, I did make progress in those 3000+ days off. LOL



Hope everyone has a great Labor Day weekend!

Soooo.....Time to prep for vacation!!!! Niece never showed up to work today, so nobody got called for done or estimates, but I got my inventory done! They will have to call the invoices on Tuesday. I figure if anyone wanted their mowers, they would have called. I got the parts orders all put in for Tuesday. The rest is up to them. This was a big step for me to leave things undone. I had to prioritize! Margarita, cooked pork chops for dinner, laundry going, relaxing for a while. Loved listening to the rain earlier. Put a damper on running a few places, but those will wait until tomorrow.

I need to get my active minutes in for today, finish laundry, and clean kitchen. I am so excited for the trip!

Have a great evening!
(((Hugs))) to everyone because they make everyone feel better!
Prayers for those with a need.
Congratulations to all the losses and NSV's!

Happy September! Thank you, Barbie, for getting us started. Hope your month sees you getting better and better.

Sue: I'm trying to figure out the logic of flying from Seattle to Denver to get to California...The paranormal tour on Q Mary sounds cool. Cute goat-i-corn.

Beth: Prayers for your son and you. You are so strong.

KJ: I could sure use you here for some quick painting and home improvement projects. Wish I had the same zeal you and Lisa have for getting hands dirty.

My handyman, Reuben is here getting some finishing touches on the mantel makeover. He has done all he can. Next phase will require me finding a cabinet maker to make a custom door and drawer. I'm loving the results thus far. But, it's going to be nice to have our Saturdays back. So much happening in my area around this time of year, and I want to get back in the swing of day trips and short excursions with DH. I read in the paper today that we could start to see much colder weather beginning the third week of September...oh my!

Intentions for September:
> Meditate and practice Reiki daily
> Yoga once a week in addition to regular cardio
> Do something fun outside of the house 1x per week
> Start on scanning family album #2
> Be lighter
Word for 2018 = Release

Stay well, friends. We can do this.

Hi Gals,

Beth – glad to hear surgery was able to happen.

Heather – this chain thing might convince me to rent if I lived in the UK…. What a nightmare!

Been reading, but not commenting as I seem to not have time for both - I am continuing to log and that will be my Sept goal to log ! I have been amazingly busy, both embroidery and gardening. I have also been trying to find time for my own yard, I got the opportunity to have a neighbor who had a day off – his company is slow right now- demolish my shed for me. So it’s down and cut up, the way it works here is that you can schedule 3 additional garbage pick up days each year, for bigger items – I took first available and that is Sept. 11 – so everything has to be boxed, bagged or bundled and at the edge of the street by 5am on the 11th, and is not supposed to be out until 24 hours before. I’ll be finding boxes and standing up boards and stuff in them. It was an old wooden shed that was really to large for what I needed and in very poor shape. He did the work and it was stuff I really could not do, as I do not own many power tools – a sawsall was what was needed. I started stacking today and will finish this week. Additionally the neighborhood cub scout troop (6-9 year old baby boy scouts) wanted to do a community project for a local senior. I sew their patches on the uniforms so they decided I’d be the one, they are tearing out an old wooden deck on Monday. As of Tuesday I have a ton more yard projects than I did before; as now the demolishing will be done.

The shed location will become a pond, and the deck location will become a flagstone patio. Yes I took before pictures – but it will be a while before you see after pictures!
