    Hello y’all!

    Pip your pictures are fantastic! You both look so relaxed! Did you fly to Seattle? I’m not sure where you live. My parents drove to Alaska all the way on the Alaskan Hwy. most of it was gravel back in the 70’s. My dad was very adventurous and hunting and 4-wheeling was his thing.

    Rebecca Athena is so adorable! I bet you just want to hold her close! Precious!

    Heather My father was on a British base during WW2. He was a tailgunner in a B-17 and sat what amounted to a bicycle seat behind a large caliber gun. Him and his crew bombed the Nazi army over Berlin and France. He was there on “D Day”. I’ll post some pictures I have on FaceBook tomorrow.
    They were shot down in the English Channel and the Brits picked them up.

    say, what is AHMOD?
    I see that all the time. LOL

    Rori. That flower is a magnolia on our tree out back. I was lucky enough to get a close shot off the deck.

    Yes I am 70! . My birthday is March 11, 1949 and was born in SoCal.

    Been busy vacuuming and washed the kitchen floor. Washed the floor rugs too. I love to walk barefoot on a nice clean floor but most of the time the dogs track too much dirt in.

    I’ve been staying under my calories and trying to keep moving. I was going to the Y this morning but got side-tracked!

    Meeting up with a MFP that lives here in Hot Springs too. Going to a grill on the lake. Should be interesting. My DH said, “Are you sure she is who she says she is?”
    Then he said maybe she’s a man. OMG. It’s a public place for lunch.
    I guess if you don’t ever hear from me again I’ve been murdered or ran away with this “man”! LOL

    Lenora Hi! I’m glad you are back. Me too. I took a break for awhile too.

    Have a great day!

    We live in tacoma wa. About 30mi South of Seattle. We walked from hm to the bus station (backpack on each of us) then walked to see our stockbroker guy in Seattle, then walked to magnolia where the ship was. About 7miles total

    Pip: Thank you for taking us along on a photo journal of your trip. :bigsmile:

    Lagilmore: It looks like you’re off to an excellent start. :star:

    Heather: Thanks for the update on Penny. :flowerforyou:

    Pip: Love the photos. I think my favorite is Kirby and the bronze dog. I’m guessing he’s missing yours. :heart:

    DanaReel: We’re practically twins. I’ll be 70 next month. I’m planning for it to be a very good year. :flowerforyou:

    Rebecca: If the man on the scooter is your son Michael, he sure looks like his dad. :star:


    I took the car to a glass repair person and she improved matters with my windshield but said that it isn’t a good fix and we may need to replace it in the near future. She did what she could but didn’t charge anything. Nice woman. I need to talk things over with DH and the insurance office.

    Michelle, I think James was ensuring his second place finish in case he missed and the guy went all in. He figured the woman would bet enough to beat him by a dollar if she got it right, which is exactly the way she bet. Then if she missed the final jeopardy he would win. He knew he couldn’t win if she got it right, so there was no point in betting big. I think it was a strategic bet.

    Katie & Michele ~ I just hope he doesn't lose all his winnings by gambling more. I read that since he lives in California, the taxes will be very high on his winnings. Read on Wikipedia that he was a math major and probably a genius in math and physics. Boy, do I wish I had those brains. :)

    Dana - Looking good! I just had to get off all social networking sites, because of my fall right before Christmas. I'm still not over it, Neurologist said I still can't drive and we'd revisit it at my next appointment. Louis told him that he, our boys, and our oldest DGD don't think I ever need to drive again. After a few trips to Albany, I am beginning to agree with them. I have enough to keep me busy, and this week after Louis moves his cabinet doors I'm going to go drag out my art supplies, figure out which are still good and maybe try to figure out how to store them somewhere on my porch. The porch has become a bone of contention between us. The other day he commented that we need to work on it. When we were coming home from Will's.

    Tiring day today. Driving an hour there and back for a meeting, rushing back for two more meetings. Got tied up after that on phone call regarding issue with another county. Got steps in for the day, logged and stayed under calories and dishes in the dishwasher but that is about it. But, meeting my daily commitments, doing what I am supposed to at work, and keeping house taken care of is enough.

    Thanks for all of the great updates. I now really want to take an Alaskan cruise. May take my kids on one when I retire-think that would be a great family vacation. But with grandkids, we may just do Florida. Maybe I'll do the cruise with a friend.

    Katla, the guy on the baby blue scooter is my husband! Heehee. This was in 2011. Way before he was sick. He called the scooter his chick magnet!

    I love my rowing machine. :) I've had it since late March and use it 2-3 times a week. I average probably about 20 min on it ... yesterday I did 16 min. If I use it on the weekends, I'll be up around 30 min.

    I was using the rowing machines in the university gym when my husband was well, but it is kind of inconvenient to go there now that he's not so we've been slowly setting up a home gym.

    Tonight I'm hoping to either walk or row after work ... depends on how my husband feels. If he's tired, I'll row. If he's up for a walk, we'll walk. And if I'm feeling particularly energetic, I might do some weights too. Maybe.
