Gd morning.
Happy belated Barbie.
Happy anniversary Katla..49 yrs boggles my mind in a wonderful way.
Sharon welcome to onederland. Way to go.
Barbara, your sharing on the state of the electric stove you had replaced has me thinking of replacing our 27 year old electric stove. I love gas and I’ve replaced three oven elements and wires to two of the top 4 burners. I bet it is unsafe. Thanks for sharing.
On Thursday the judge ruled in our family dispute and my sister and I won . The judge said my brother and cousin’s actions were unconscionable and we share ownership of the land in perpetuity. He said we were the prevailing party and we are to submit expenses of the case to the court within the next ten days. It still feels unreal but absolutely wonderful.
Wishing a good weekend to everyone.

Betsy ~ Congratulations on winning your court case. I hope the judge will make the other parties pay the court expenses.
Barbie ~ Happy Birthday!
Katla ~ Happy Anniversary! We will celebrate our 50th next August.
For the last couple of days I am having trouble entering some foods. Example: "russet potatoes" (no results)
or "pork tenderloin" (no results). Could this be glitch in the system? I have never had any problems like this before.

Betsy - I'm so happy for you!!!

Carol, I haven't had the trouble with entering food that you mentioned. Try again in an hour and see what happens. Also try entering just "potato" or "pork" and see what happens.Betsy, congratulations on your win in court. It makes me so happy when the good guys win. This has been a tough time for you. I love what the judge said.Kelly, I've called our brief period of warm weather in the PNW "fake spring". My husband (and many others) are suddenly wearing shorts. I am still wearing my winter coat and long sleeves. I did go to line dance yesterday without a hat or scarf. No rain expected here today so I'll be able to do another 30 minutes of weed pulling.

Carol I just tried adding "russet potato" and was successful. Maybe sign out & sign back in to MFP & try again?0

Carol - I am able to get plenty of results for russet potatoes and pork tenderloin, so the system is fighting you, lol. I am wondering about the javascript error I keep getting when I try to click on "hug" or "like", etc. MFP is the only site where I have this problem. I'll contact their help team. Might not be my PC at all.
Betsy - so happy the court case is settled and yes - hope the other parties have to pay your costs. What a relief to have it finally have it done in your favor. We are smiling with you!!!
Kelly - I keep forgetting to comment how exciting Joaquin will be getting a sibling!! So glad the results of your surgery were good and you rebounded quickly. Yikes those kidlets not being dressed for chilly weather.
Karen in VA - I saw how to tape for plantar's fasciitis, lol. After being healthy and strong for most of our lives, having painful feet or frozen shoulders or (__fill in the blank__) "just because" is aggravating.
Understatement. If a person falls down the stairs or has a car accident, then I understand. But this painful stuff just showing up is for the birds (she said, reaching for the Medical MJ cream 
)

Well, I logged out and logged back in. Went back and tried to enter "russet potatoes" and voila it worked! 4

Happy Birthday Barbie :flowerforyou:0

Elizabeth - good luck on your job interview.
Carol - I think they make most sheets now to accommodate the pillow tops so if you don’t have one they don’t fit properly. Such a pain sheets are and so expensive! My Dad’s mom used to give sheer sets to her children *kitten* Christmas presents as a child I thought it was a terrible gift, now I would love a set as a gift! All a matter of perspective I guess.
Heather - that’s cleaning has given me an idea of how to spend my day today. I need to do a good scrubbing and I’m also wanting to rearrange some pictures and such. I think you have inspired me. I hope your cleaner interview goes well for you.
Katla - happy anniversary!
Almagreatness - beautiful Grandson, congratulations
Rebecca - hope you get the house!
Barbie - happy birthday!
Machka - I haven’t had new potatoes out of a garden since I lived in NB, those plants remind me of home. Enjoy! Glad you were able to build your rowing machine.
Kelly - my daughter has been arguing with my Grandson about wearing his heavier Fall jacket at least, he thinks he should be able to go in his T-shirt. I saw a guy walking here the other day in just shorts no shirt. It was only 11 Celsius. Such good news on the biopsy!
Lanette - thank you. You amaze me that you just keep going even through your pain.
Michele - enjoy the shower and your time with Denise.
Betsy - I am so very happy for you! Since you have to submit claims does that mean they have to pay your legal fees now?
Carol - I think MFP is having a lot of glitches recently. About every other time I try to read the board it tells me I need to Log In, I back out and come back and it works. Very strange.
I don’t have a lot to share today, it is so foggy here that I can’t see my neighbours across the street. I’m thankful I don’t have to drive anywhere. I need to figure out what to do today. I would like to crank the music, open the windows and do a deep clean, but with hubby sitting here watching tv that won’t work. I really miss having the house to myself. I haven’t had it in two years for more than an hour or so at a time.
Have a great day

Happy Saturday!
It’s partly cloudy and will be about 65f today. I didn’t do very well yesterday... Margaritas and cheesecake! Ugh!
Katla Happy 49th and many more!!
Betsy Congratulations on your court case. Good for you. I was in a similar situation and just let it go... but not much to fight for.
It was my DH 69th birthday yesterday and we had a fun day visiting the crystal mine in Jessieville and other rock shops.
We drove back to Hot Springs and the had dinner at On the Border (a Mexican themed restaurant) I had a quesadilla and tortilla soup combo. My downfall was the Strawberrry Margarita!
When we returned home I surprised DH with his favorite cheesecake!
My diet was shot, up .8 lbs. it’s been going like this since I started again. Up down, up down. My birthday, DH‘s Birthday. I got to work harder! Good news! DH did remove his cookies from the counter. He’s got them hidden somewhere. LOL
I’m going to rake the yard some more, change the sheets and dust the bedroom, run vinegar thru the Keurig coffee maker and vacuum, so I better get busy!
Have a good weekend!
Dana In Arkansas
My Darling Husband and my DD Jessica and her kids. It’s her 40th birthday today!

(((Allie))): I am in complete agreement with Margaret. She is giving you excellent advice. Protect your current job and be as helpful and positive as you can. Have a smile on your face and a positive attitude. Don’t waste your energy feeling as though another employee is getting special favors. :flowerforyou:
Karen in VA, Mary, & Heather: Thanks for your good wishes. We have made a good team all these years and I’d like to continue for as long as life allows. He has some troubling health issues right now and I have a funny spot on my back and an appointment with a dermatologist. We will get through medical things and find ways to enjoy our lives.
Barbie: Happy Birthday to you. :flowerforyou: You are absolutely right and my gratitude list is long. :bigsmile:
Michele: When we moved here we brought things a carload at a time because we had both homes. We brought the things we wanted and sold everything else at the garage sale—including the house. It was a very lucky thing for us. Maybe your new neighbors have a similar situation. I hope they turn into your friends as time goes along.
Machka: I stay above the two & a half hours of moderate exercise, too. I’ve been lucky to find things that I love to do so it is never tedious or an unwelcome obligation. Thank you for your good wishes about our anniversary.
KJ: I was 20 when we got married. DH was 22. Here we are, 49 years later. Neighbors of ours celebrated their 50th last year. They took their kids and grandkids to Disneyland to celebrate. Next year we hope to take our kids and grandkids to the park on the coast where we were married to celebrate our 50th.
Lanette: I hope you are able to get your foot taken care of so that you can walk barefoot without pain. :flowerforyou:
Betsy in NW WA: Congratulations on winning your family dispute.
Dana in AR: Happy 69th to your DH! :bigsmile:
Quiet day today and misty outside. I am hoping for a trail ride tomorrow and I have my fingers crossed that the weather permits it to happen. Right this minute it is lightly foggy where I live. DH is sleeping in and I am going to go see about waking him.

The cleaner came and she said we have a VERY clean house and don't need more than two hours every two weeks. I wanted her to come every week, just so that I don't have to think about it, but DH was worrying about the cost of her, (she is expensive, but very good), so we have agreed every two weeks. She will not come next week as we have just cleaned yesterday, but will start the following Tuesday. I told DH that the alternate weeks we will have to do our hour each on Fridays as we have been doing. He shrugged his agreement. If visitors are coming I get very anxious, so I like it done properly.
He does keep the kitchen under control and does all the washing up and putting away. I have to nag him to do his bathroom. He also shops for and prepares the breakfast fruit and the stewed fruit we have as dessert.
Today I pointed out that the front of the house needed a tidy and a sweep of the path, so he did that, but not happily. The off road parking bit is still dirty, but I hope my visiting friend won't see that bit. I will go out and weed it before long. I picked up some trash that passers by had dumped there!
Part of it is that he just doesn't see it and I have to pick my moment to ask him to do it.
He also got in a bad mood because our sink is blocked again. We took off the U bend, but it's not that, it must be further down in the outlet pipe. I rang the plumber, who will vacuum it out and put some chemical down there. More expense! He is coming on Monday, early.
Then a window cleaner is coming to estimate on Tuesday. DH thought the previous estimate was too high. We have a three storey house with an extension with a lot of glass and skylights. I don't think this lot will be any cheaper.
He does worry a lot about money.
He actually has quite a lot in savings, but feels he can't spend it. Upbringing, I suppose.
I did a good shop on my own by bus at my favourite supermarket. Really heavy coming home! Lots of glass bottles of different stuff. Had to haul it onto the bus. Now I have enough food for my friend on Monday, but I am making raspberry icecream tomorrow and a boiled orange and almond cake. I've just boiled the orange in advance. I may give a slice to my friend to eat on her train home if we don't eat it earlier! I've also worked out what to eat tomorrow evening as we are dancing from 5- 8 pm. Bought some nice, flexible things to work around those times.
Max coming to play at 8.30 tomorrow!

t’s a very foggy day here today and it reminded me of a foggy morning when I was a little girl. It was Spring like weather cold at night but melting during the day so the fog gathered heavily in the mornings. On this particular day, we had had freezing rain the night before so school was cancelled.
My Mother had the windows open as did my Grandmother across the driveway. I could smell Grammie making doughnuts. I wanted one so much. Really I wanted to get there before they were all cooked so I could have some raw doughnut holes. I vividly remember putting on my boots to go over but the ice was so thick I couldn’t stand, I would take a couple of steps fall, slide back some and do it all over again. I finally, literally, crawled on my hands and knees to get there. There were lots of dough to eat and lots of memories of that morning making doughnuts with Grammie, my job was to sugar them.
Today my cousin’s grown Granddaughter is visiting and she shared a picture of her Grandmother’s homemade doughnuts. So even though it’s against all of my health goals I am making doughnuts using my Grandmother’s recipe and her stick she used for years to turn hers and remembering my sweet sweet Grandmother.9 -

Happy Belated Birthday Barbie..
I have been semi lazy..the small holes from the track lighting I took care of I got up there on my step stool spackled away..
Then heaven help me I tackled part of my small walk in closet.. I have way to much bedding.so I bagged it and will out it in storage..I have alot of small throw blankets so I draped a few on the couch and chair in the living room.
Painter will stop in and do the ceiling Monday and then have the other guy put up the ship lap and put new toilet in..3 -
Tracey, I have blue tooth headphones for my phone and cordless headphones for our second TV. Thus I can crank up the music or TV show and listen and move around the house or yard doing whatever I want even with Jake in the recliner watching TV or in the bedroom taking a nap. They have added so much joy to my life and helped save my sanity. Barbie 5

Hope everyone had a great Saturday. I cleaned out my sock drawer and got about 20 pairs to take to charity.
Katla- Happy 49th Anniversary. My theory is to cherish each and everyday you are blessed to have your spouse. None of us know if we will have many tomorrows so enjoy each day.
Kelly- so happy you got a good report and are good to go.
Barbie- Happy Birthday. Glad you had a good day.
Allie- I saw the Book Club on an airplane and laughed so hard my dh ask me if I was crying.
Sharon- so proud of you and your success. You deserve it.
Got to quit as my eyes are getting tired.

Hi Gals,
Happy Birthday Barbie!!!!!!!!
Happy Anniversary Katla!!!!
Congrats Betsy!!!!
Heather - love the compromises that you and DH do…
Tracey – great memories
Sue – great job, socks are so wanted in charity shops there are never enough!
So I have been very lax about logging and am trying to hop back on… I have been fussing in my head with competing goals… the goal of getting my weight down and the goal of keeping my food budget very low as part of my overall goal of paying off debt and raising savings. I truly can’t say which is the primary goal. I have been doing a bit of both, but prices seem to have taken a jump upward in the last 1-2 months… Automobile gas has gone up about 20 cents a gallon, our water will have a 7% increase in June, and when I bought yogurt this morning it had gone up $1 per tub in 2 weeks!!!
I’d love to make my yogurt, but have tried twice and tossed both batches, one grew some green thing… and the second batch never thickened up… tossing it is more expensive than buying pre-made. I suspect it is a heat thing, my home is too cold and the crock pot to hot….
I just have to commit to logging and do it.

Kim I know what you mean about the price of food. I like to buy the larger tubs of yogurt too rather than buy the smaller containers does help price wise.
I haven't tried to make any of my own. I buy the unflavored one and add my own fruit. Less sugar that way.
Our gas has gone up 20 cents too and our new governor is pushing an additional 20 cent tax. Also come Memorial Day the switch the grade here and the price goes up too. It good I don't drive as much as I used too.

Our fuel prices
Actually, they've come down ever-so-slightly since I took this photo.
