    Allie – sometimes they not understanding something is a blessing. It would only serve to hurt if he understood, and who is being hurt?

    M - thanks for those quotes. I was originally thinking of something to do with a turtle (hare beware?), but why not have something else?

    Carol – good luck. I’ll be thinking of you

    Dr. Katie – I like the “slow down”. Turtles are slow.

    Barbara – I really don’t have anything particular in mind about the turtle. I’d like something funny having to do with a turtle, but I’m open to anything else. I think Katie’s suggestion of “slow down” is good. Turtles are slow and so many times we’re rushed.

    Off to ACMoore to get a frame for the diamond dotz pic I made Jess for Christmas. I want to get the pic put away before she comes home. After she leaves I’ll start on Denise & Pete’s. Then we’ll go to Office Max since they have this thing where you can get up to 5lb shredded for free. We have old stuff from Newcomers that should be shredded (like cancelled checks). Vince also wants to stop at the Hallmark store.

    Before the Green Room stopped at CVS since I can get Cheerios on sale, plus I have coupons only they didn't have any. They told me they were getting a truck tomorrow so I'll stop there on the way to the Green Room Thurs. Or else I'll stop at the CVS before the water class tomorrow. Then volunteered at the Green Room, then WalMart to pick up a few things but I really needed gas.

    For the belly of the turtle, I like "cherish today" which was on the list and means sooo much! My granny used to say that "tomorrow isn't a Promisted day" which is so true so we should all Cherish Today!

    Michele looked up Native American symbolism signifies good health and long life.

    I too like including word Slow. Slow and steady...

    Rori--Thanks for the update on Meg. Please let her know we miss her and keeping her in prayer.

    Rita--You are looking fantastic!!

    Welcome Beverly--This is a great place for freindship and support. Come often.

    Carol--Keeping you in prayer that all goes well with your surgery. Sorry to hear DBIL is making things so hard. Maybe the state stepping in is best, that way he can not blame you or DH about anything money wise.

    Well at weigh in this morning I am up acouple pounds and not surprised. I keep gaining and losing the same couple pounds. With this warmer weather I want to get out and walk more. Also yesterday I cleaned out my rock garden from the winter and can feel it today. But it looks so much better and ready for mulch to be put down.
    Blessings, Vicki gI NE <3

    Just learned I have no legal recourse to pursue a law suit. I now will start considering going to the press. Will get thoughts together before I do so.

    Drove to the airport ok and dropped off son last night. He's going to be in San Diego for about a week prepping helicopters. Its 80' down there, so jealous. Told him I would finish packing his Legos, and throw them in boxes. He about stopped breathing, haahaa!
    Haven't packed much here, cuz we're just going to pack the car and drive back and forth. It seems pointless to pack into boxes only to take out again in a sec. Maybe pack the car, and have one box as transport. It will definitely be one of our most unusual moves.
    Rita hubba hubba! You look mauvalous!!!! I am amazed, but I think aliens have switched your body! Naah, just kidding. You have put in a lot of work. Proud of you!

    Carol ... Praying you have a successful surgery and your recovery will be quick and complete!

    Barbara ... sorry your pup is having so many difficulties.

    Kay ... the rug choice is a good one!

    Rita ... you look wonderful!

    Have hit a plateau in the weight loss. I'm an impatient person but will press on. Helps that my clothes are fitting better.

I did go through the clothes , got winter on one side , spring and summer on the other.. summer 2-3 x I have put on facebook marketplace to sell.. the dresses have only been worn once.. alot of capris, shorts, and pretty tops.. took garbage out and took some stuff down to my storage space.. I am working next 3 days in a row.. and I am Mary's fair weather friend, she is all ticked off at me because Dr Pandey asked her to work Saterday and she is blaming me, I already had plans and told the Dr so.. well Mary said her niece and nephew are coming from Pennsylvania and that she was supposed to spend time with them.. I have worked every blessed Saterday up until 3 weeks ago and because it is a Holiday weekend she is pitching a fit.. all my fault.. I told her no it is Michaels fault...
    She is never happy ,she is sweet to me when she wants something,but lord if I cross her its all over..
    well enough about that.. working 8-6 tomorrow, 9-5 thursday, 9-5 friday.. well at least I will be getting a few more hours..

    Margaret: Sorry to hear the legal solution did not work. I hope that shining light on this matter; whether by press, or letters of complaint, will help you son’s situation.

    Auntiebk: Thanks for the welcome. Will update with info. shortly. New to social media, a little slo-mo in figuring it all out.

    I see I missed lots on my weekend away from the computer. Somehow I managed to stay below calorie goal, but I'm not sure how I did it. Things are crazy this week and next. My daughter has ballet stuff April 26-28. I'm chaperoning 3 rehearsals next week. I'm hoping running around the theater will make up for not getting to the gym.

    Notre Dame still has me sad. I'm relieved to hear much was saved, but so much was lost. They still don't know the status of the organ. The pipes and console are there, but there could be heat and water damage that isn't visible yet. I just love old cathedrals.

    Happy thoughts and inspiration for those here struggling with life and family issues, especially anybody dealing with mental health issues. It's a rough road with changes at every bend.

    Hi Gals,

    Allie – Great News about Michael!

    Michele – pooh is so cute!

    Rori – I just checked on line, and that sounds scary, keep your doors locked and stay in! Thinking of you, and the rest of the folks in the area.

    Carol – sending good thoughts for your surgery.

    Rori – I’m so sorry the schools are in lockdown. What do the people do who are not students? Can’t wait to hear more about your planned trip.

    Ginger – I couldn’t believe it! The shipping for one bag of those chocolates is more than the chocolates themselves! At first I wouldn’t want to order a whole lot, what if I didn’t like them? How are they shipped? I would think that one bag could go in a padded envelope and the shipping wouldn’t be nearly as much.

    Had Rummikub tonight.

    Carol, thinking of you and look forward to hearing about your healing post surgery. Prayers for a speedy recovery.

    Margaret, so glad your son is in the hospital now and getting the help he needs. My younger sister deals with severe PTSD and is currently having a scary meltdown. We all deal with different challenges.

    I saw a sign on a board outside a church years ago. It said,”If in doubt be kind”. Such a simple concept but what a difference a bit of kindness can make.

    Oh Allie I’m happy for you! No Michael and more hours!! I’m also glad you didn’t have to witness the drama.

    So sad about Notre Dame. Such a terrible thing! :'(

    I’m still here, just really busy working in the yard and spring cleaning.

    Another severe storm coming tomorrow night! (Nooo!)

    I’m still waiting to put up our new umbrella. (The 2nd one blew off and broke up.) my DH can’t understand why I leave them open but our dog likes shade too!

    Have a good day or evening!

    Carol - Sending best wishes for a FAST healing. <3

    Rita - I am so impressed by your transformation. You are doing great! I bet you feel so much better. :D

    Another night of blocked up nose. Grrrrrrrrrr! I did get some good sleep after 5.30 until 7.00. :o Go away cold! Luckily I have an interesting book to read, about running! :laugh: That must be around my 25th book about running.
    Must go for a run today. :D

    Swing dancing was hilarious last night! DH felt better about it because no one could do the last moves. We all had a great laugh.
    Amazed my knee is holding up. A few years ago there is no way I could have done any of this. By exercising my knee muscles every day I have strengthened it a lot, though I still have to baby it a bit. Had to spin on it last night! :o

    Rori, hope they get it sorted. <3

    Kim - how is your brother's health now? <3

    Love to all, Heather UK xxxxxxx

    Heather my friend Jean is an M&S fan, she is always getting bargains. She told us the jumper she was wearing on Saturday was in the sale and she got 90% off. I think she said she bought about 3 or 4 jumpers for less than £20. I'll have to go shopping with her :)

    I was at the dentist yesterday for a check up, all is well I'm pleased to say, he told me to be careful with my back teeth and watch the tartar build up (I have deep pockets apparently) don't have to go back until October for my next 6 month check up. :)

    Better get my exercise out of the way before I make the excuse that I haven't time!
