Rita--Enjoyed the pictures. We were there last December and was interesting.
Barbie--Sounds like you are getting better everyday, great news. I agree taking it slow is a good way to not over do.
Carol--Looks like grandparents day was good. Memories they will have for years.
Kylia--Sounds like a nice day and lots of steps.
Karen--You and your grandson sound like you are a great team. Sorry to hear about your funance. We had to replace our a couple years ago and decided to get the mid priced on and then found out when we went to do taxes found out it was the one that we couldn't claim. But at least we have a new one. Last year was the hot water heater, but that we could claim.
Machka--Sorry to hear your pain is spreading. I hope the doctor can get things cleared up and that you can find a denist you like. Do you mean this happens regularly? Sure makes getting up in the night fun.
Heather--I understand this waiting is crazy. Sending hugs and prayers things get settled soon and you can get this move behind you.
Janetr--Congrates on the weight loss.
Tracey-Happy Birthday and making a snowman together sounds like fun.
Have a great day and remember we are in this together. Blessings, Vicki GI NE

Tracey ~ Happy Birthday to you and your grandson!
Lanette ~ I was looking up INFP because I didn't know what it was and found this site. I took the personality test and was surprised at the results. https://www.16personalities.com/infp-personality I think you would find it very interesting.
Hoping all who visit here are having a blessed day!

Thank you.
My friend sent me that 16 personalities a while ago. It was eerily accurate for me, her and her daughter.3 -
Trucker, I think I found your Facebook page, last name begins with an A? I googled your place and its only 2 hrs awsy, 106 miles. I suppose that rd a blessing that we are up here in God's grayness, because with the medicines my husband takes for liver transplant anti rejection, he can't go out in the sun anymore. Thanks for the info though. Need to Google how far from where my son lives. Maybe a reunion at your resort could hapoen!

Tracy, happy birthday to you and your grandson! Ewwww on that white stuff that you woke up to! Hoping it doesn't last long.
Machka, oh my, your tooth troubles do not sound like fun, sure hope you can get relief soon!
Allie, woohoo on the showings keeping my fingers crossed for you!
Day 4 of my new eating plan, had a headache for most of that time and yesterday I had absolutely NO energy! I'm guessing thats due to the garbage leaving my system. I'm feeling much better today, no headache!! Still having trouble sleeping, tho not sure why. At first I thought it was the junk food, now I'm kind of at a loss. I only drink one cup of tea after dinner, that's my only caffeine intake. I may have to switch to decaf..... might be worth a try!
Keeping you all in my thoughts, hugs to those who need them, congrats to those celebrating and welcome to the newbies.

Hi all! Yes, I'm alive. I'm doing brilliantly on the exercise but abysmally on the eating. There's just been too much chaos and unpredictability and eating on my own. I struggle to cook properly when it's "just me" and so far this year, my husband and I have only been in the same place about two thirds of the time. (He travels too much!) But on the bright side, the exercise is working fine. I've done at least 10,000 steps a day for 80 straight days now, and have run 220 miles since July 1.
Right now I'm at the holiday place in northern Norway. When I went out running today I met a neighbor, an old guy who has noticed over the years that I often go running. Whenever he sees me, he does jogging motions with his arms and cheers me on. This summer he's had some health problems; first he had an aneurysm that needed surgery, and then he passed a gallstone that got lodged in his liver. (OUCH!!!
) But he's back in his groove now, diligently taking daily walks as per doctor's orders.
When I ran by today, he and his son were digging in their potato patch. After I'd finished running, I walked back to chat with them and admire their harvest. They were sorting the potatoes by size as they went, and had quite a few little ones less than 2 inches in diameter, which they didn't consider worth storing. Their intention was to toss those over the fence, but they said I was welcome to take as many as I wanted. So I took a pail of them home with me. And I had them for dinner. With butter.
I'll own it, though. New potatoes fresh out of the ground... 
Yum!
Yesterday I went a couple hundred meters up the mountain behind the house to my secret chanterell place. It's a bit late in the year, but nonetheless I found a good pound and a half of chanterelles. Today I picked all the black currants off one of our two bushes. The raspberries have finally ripened and I will pick them tomorrow. They're wild, but grow incredibly big up here in the Arctic -- literally the size of thimbles -- and sweet and aromatic to boot.
I'll end with a picture from when the grandkids were here last month. One gorgeous day we climbed to a stone hut on the mountain to the west of our house. This is the view from up there, about 2000 ft above sea level. The picture shows about half of the village. I'm really proud of the kids for walking all the way up and back without kvetching (much). It's pretty steep!
Greetings to all the oldies and welcome to all the newbies! Stick around and you'll get to know us eventually

but who is currently more like 1600 miles from it.
Oh, and Tracey: No snow here yet!12 -

Carol - interesting site! The Myers Briggs Type Indicator (MBTI) has been around since after WWII and was created to help GI's find suitable careers. It's often eerily accurate and has been so for decades - and people generally don't change type as they age, but tend to remain one of the 16 types.
If a person takes the MBTI authorized test, he/she will discover no one is really cut and dried, but tend toward degrees of a certain trait. And under stress the whole shootin' match can be up for grabs, lol. That might be why the INFP I read about this morning was compelled to slam the door shut. Introverts don't do well expending their precious limited energy on folks they consider to be hopeless cases, while Extroverts seem to get energized by the turmoil some folks cause.
There's another fun personality test called the Kiersey Temperament Sorter which breaks people down into four groups instead of 16.
Why humans behave as they do is fascinating!

Barbie: I’m delighted to hear that you are recovering and being wise about your exercise routine. I hope that every day is better than the previous day. :flowerforyou:
Machka: The snake in the toilet would scare at least a decade off of me. How could it get in there? :huh: I’m so glad it wasn’t your house! :bigsmile:
Janetr: Congratulations on your loss!!!!!!! :flowerforyou:
Lanette: We have talked about joining DSIL when she does her annual “fall trip.” She likes to go to the coast & they are talking about October. The Oregon Coast can be gorgeous in the fall and is much less busy after all the kids go back to school. They’re back in school now so the trip could be done any time. Our RV is in the shop with a parking brake problem today. :grumble: I hope it will be a quick fix. Keeping my fingers crossed.
Snowflake: It looks like you picked out a good name to go by. I can’t imagine snow on the ground this early in the year. BRRRRR. I’m guessing you have plenty of experience and are able to manage despite the early snowfall. :flowerforyou: I took your test, too. It said I’m an architect. I don’t see myself that way. I know an architect and everything it said about that pattern fits him to a "t". It is thought provoking, and makes me wonder whether I have very much in common with him. I hope not. He’s arrogant and of the opinion that he is the village smart person. Thanks for sharing the link.
Penny: I’m happy to see you are posting again. I’ve missed you!
Pip: You and Kirby look wonderful and happy.
We had a call from our daughter today. It looks as though her real estate issues are moving along in a positive way as they await the final closing on the Colorado house sale. I hope and pray it all goes smoothly & as planned

Happy Birthday Tracey. Hope it was a great day.
Michele- I am worried about you and the rains that are coming. Have you made any preparations?
Janetr- I am so proud of you and want you to know you look fabulously.
Been to yoga twice this week and it made me sore because it has been a couple of months since I went. Not sure it is good for my eye but it sure is good for my body and spirit.
Penny- we were in Norway this summer and loved it. One of my granddaughters says she wants to live there when she grows up. She is 11 now.
Barbie- glad you are healing and taking care of yourself. I started knitting a prayer shawl for my daughter’s birthday. Just have a week to finish it so hope I can do it.

Sharon in W VA Hi fellow gamer! I was a hard mode raid healer in SWTOR for several years. It was hilarious actually, because I have a quite young sounding voice and all the fellows on my teams always thought I was about 20, then when I’d mention a husband they assumed mid twenties. They never suspected they were playing with a woman old enough to be their Mother
. The game changed and most of us no longer enjoyed playing it - I have not found a replacement game I enjoy as much. I will always treasure that time - it was exhilarating to be part of such a team.
Like you, I start to read a story and 10 linked stories later I find it is an hour later. I love that for when I excercycle- would be bored out of my gourd otherwise! I try not to allow myself to read any news or articles after 9:00pm tho, because it is too easy to realize I read way past bedtime!

As for me, Jury Duty Monday

Barbie: I thought Bernie was advertising for the Salmon Festival. He's a cutie. Glad to hear you are feeling better.
Machka: Dangerous snake in the toilet = my biggest nightmare. Lordy, don't know if I'll be able to sleep tonight.!!!
Janetr: You rook mah-ve-lus dahling So proud of you. I bet the ornaments sell quickly.
Penny: Love your posts and how they transport me to such a unique place in the world. Fresh new potatoes don't fall in your bucket every day. You'll run them off in no time.
So concerned for my friends in Carolinas....prayers going up you all stay safe.
Here we have clear, bright hot weather. I spent the hottest part of the day cooking a whole chicken in the instant pot, deboning it, then putting the bones back in the pot to make bone broth. It's just now finished cooking, so will get started straining. Smells good in here. Will make chicken burrito for DH's dinner. Big salad for me
Stay well friends. We can do this.

PennyThe potato digger sounds like a wonderful old man. I’m glad he has his son nearby to help. And you fortunate person! Chanterelles AND raspberries! I’m glad you share this with grandkids! The picture makes me put on my wishing hat. Is your climate milder due to the Gulf Stream curving your way?
Lanette - I’m ENFP, and probably would have tested the same at 16 as I do at 75. People are beginning to discredit the test, but I think if you read a little further it is truly helpful. I first encountered it in college when trying to figure out why I was underperforming so badly. Going off on tangents didn’t help with most of my second year courses.
Barbie - Bernie is just adorable!
Rye - I think you may be my spirit animal, lol! All the kids in my guild call me “G-Ma”! I think I’ll try to implement your “no links or stories after 9Pm and see if it helps.
Rori - Hiw much water do you cover the bones with to do bone broth? Do seasonings go in it? I’d love to make my own!
Kate Uk - it was Spain! Forgive yourself and enjoy the memories!
I’m still Sharon in WA3 -
Thx katla, that was an old pic from 3 years ago at the MS Ride3
