Meant to make file smaller so it might not load for some. Making up for lost time. I went to a rock painting class yesterday.
I am also enjoying monarchs in our yard because I let milkweed dominate parts of our garden. I watched a female laying eggs on a few of the leaves. Hoping them make it to be butterflies. I learned you leave them outside. They are thrown off be artificial light. Last year I protected a chrysalis with a bird cage to help it make it to a butterfly.

Just figured out how to post a picture. Don't know how to make it smaller though...
We're having a grandbaby in December! (My hubby pitching to our baby - the new Daddy)
I love seeing the pictures from all of you! Helps make it feel like I'm getting to know you all better.
Also, our babies at home:

Regarding the allergy ...
I eat the same things every day, so since this just started up 3 days ago, I wouldn't think it has to do with food.
Also, it doesn't happen at work, walking around town, on the bus or downstairs in our house. It comes on when I'm sitting in "My Spot".
However, I have been doing work in our dressing room during commercial breaks, and I have a known dust mite allergy, and cloth is known for harbouring dust mites, so it is possible that I'm stirring up the dust mites.
The other possibility I may investigate this weekend is mould. There are a couple plants near "My Spot", and one looks like it has been over-watered. I noticed that it is sitting in a tray half-full of water. I might empty the water out and see if that makes a difference.
I've also been extra-tired the last few days, so it could be a winter virus too ... who knows!

KarenVA - Happy Birthday. Hope it was a special day for you. Your DGD looks very happy.
I was very relieved that mt eyes are stable as I have had macular degeneration for 16 years. When I was diagnosed I was told I might lose my sight in 5 years so I feel very blessed to still be ok.
Rebecca- Your baby is so beautiful. She could be a baby model.3 -

Rita - I absolutely love Dr. Hook! We danced to one of their songs at our wedding in 87 and at our daughter’s wedding it was played and the girls joined us for a dance.
Rebecca - Athena is beautiful!
Rori - I replaced my first flapper a month or so ago. So easy!
Karen - happy Birthday
I am very envious of you all having heat. It has rained every day here at least once of not all day since the beginning of June if not earlier. Our furnace has been on at least once a week since last September. I don’t think we’re getting summer this year.
I still have a page to go!

Karen - happy birthday!!!!!!Those mosaics are amazing –2

Hi folks. Just checking in. I'll try to catch up on all the news here.
• Eye problems My vision has been iffy so I've stayed off the Internet as much as I could. I've had red irritated eyes. Treated fur allergies but they didn't get better. Finally discovered I'd acquired an allergy to a prescription eye drop medication that I've taken for a couple of years. It's always something.
• Weight Loss. It ain't working. I'm not doing what I need to do. So it's time to get on with it. I want to drop at least 10% by November - before I return to my doctor for new blood labs. Tally Ho!
• Goals. So my goals are to plan my low carb meals and snacks and stay with my plan. Continue checking blood glucose and test certain foods to see how I react to them.
Hope all is well with you all.

I have been slightly on edge all day wondering if the water at the Elk's Lodge would be repaired so we could have dance class today, so I did what is my most favorite stress reducer. I rode my exercise bike and knitted and watched TV, taking some short breaks to walk the dogs. Finally at 7 PM I got the news that the water was fixed and we will dance tomorrow. I was able to send an email to my class and let them know that all was well.Tracey, it is cool here, too, and windy and not like summer at all. I love it because I don't like the heat, but a lot of people are complaining.

Well tried the gold mask my naturally red face turned redder looks like I ate too much beets! Wouldn’t peel off at all so shower to scrub it off.Hubby said your not cut out for beauty products their just not you! Insightful cause not that I bought this stupid 3pack I feel like I have to use the last one boy am I dreading it. I’m anti-face mask now add it to anti-nail polish,anti-makeup,anti-fake nails,anti- aging lol 😂. So oh well I tried going to force myself for 1 more then never again! Daughter bought a moving foot scraper I used it loved it to pieces! Taking it I can buy her a new one when she asks for it.We share clothes to perfume not a big deal to us we got a stick pile we take what we want contribute to it later.

It’s a very long story, but I’ll try the abbreviated version. I wanted to make sure that my daughter would be taken care of if anything ever happened to me. My sister just can’t be trusted, so my very best friend ever did a second parent adoption. He is legally her father even though we never married. His mom is a grandmother to my daughter in every sense of the word. She calls me her daughter-in-law, so I joke that she is my “mother-in-law by proxy”.
I know some would not agree with the arrangement, but it works for us

Connie - that’s awesome!1

Wednesday and Thursday were super busy. Just finished skimming the posts. I’ve watched My 600 lb Life too. It made me realize that I was about 2 steps away from being out of control. I saw a therapist for my food issues. I could easily sit and eat a tub of cake icing and a tube of cookie dough.
I love tuna and made a lot of tuna salad for lunch lately. I didn’t realize that tuna is high in purines. I now have gout. This is crazy painful!!
Thanks for sharing the gastric bypass stories. I thought about it several times, but I knew I didn’t have the level of dedication needed to be successful. Kudos to those who’ve done it!!

Connie - I'm with snowflake - to take parenting seriously, and accept that you can not predict the future, and build in appropriate support for your child is beyond awesome.

Barbie I know you are so relieved about the water situation at the Elk's club. I'm glad it's resolved!

Connie - Great idea! I'm not sure it can be done over here, but, if it can, I hope more people will do it. My DH is not the blood grandfather to our three , but he is the best granddad EVER!
I'm sure if I died, or I ever left him, (not going to happen) My DDIL would keep him on! :laugh:

Morning, just popping in to say "hi" getting ready to go shopping, it's a bit cooler today (so far!) we've had a few hot days here. Feeling very tired at the moment, wondering if I need to drink more water, so trying to keep hydrated.
Had to take our cat Logan to the vet yesterday, DD noticed that he had an abcess on his thigh, by the time we got him there it had burst, but the vet cleaned it up and gave him an injection and antibiotics to take home, he's already feeling better. Cost a fortune mind, could have done without the extra expense lol.
Well I'd better get ready. Congrats to those who have had successes however small, and hugs to those in need. Viv UK 4 -
Morning, afternoon and evening, all...
My three days on my own start early this morning... need to get my hubby to the airport at 5:30 a.m. Wondered why this had me discombobulated a bit, as time on my own doesn't bother me, but we were talking about it last night... and in the ten years we've been married, I've always been the one traveling alone, and he stays home. Almost all my jobs have involved some travel. None of his ever have. When he's been flying, at least for the last decade, I've been with him. He commented that, when he travels with other people, they always seem to feel he doesn't know what he's doing and needs direction, but when he's alone, he always gets everywhere on time just fine. Not sure if he realized he meant me!
Now that his weekend away is here, it means mine is only a week away, as well. I'll be heading to Little Rock next Friday for our annual conference, back Saturday evening. Splitting gas with a co-worker who doesn't want to ride in a van, either... I'll drive us there and she'll drive on the way back. I don't drive in the evenings anymore, and if I were going by myself, I'd get a hotel room for Saturday night, rather than try to drive three hours starting at 6 or 7 p.m.
Barbara AHMOD, a little worried about you as well... check in, dear heart, we miss your voice!
Viv UK, pet medical care has gotten incredibly expensive, hasn't it? Same here in the U.S.
SueBDew, so glad the news was good from the eye doc!
Margaret, I love old trains, thanks for the pics.
Rebecca, little Miss Athena is a beauty.
LuciB, congratulations on the upcoming granddaughter! I've got one coming in January, preliminary guess is it's a boy, but official answer won't be until next month.
Time to go get my second cup of coffee going...
Love y'all,
Lisa in AR4 -
morning ladies~
woke up at 3 am
i don't know why.. had my tea and watched Joyce.. will get Alfie fed and hop in the shower
don't have to be to work until 11 am.. and lordy it is a hot mess in there
I think because of the heat I'm not all that hungry so the lbs are coming off im down 39 lbs.. whoooo hoooo(in a good way lol) I could go with my son to see the new lion king movie tonight or watch bohemian rapsody(sp) which I will do. will wait and take Taliah to see it.. or told my son to call his sister and see if he can take Taliah himself , which would be a fun thing to do.
I am sticking with work right now until the right thing comes along... which it will and I have come to peace with that.
Karen Happy Belated Birthday.. I find that birthdays don't bother me much anymore
He he he beginning of summer bought some 12-14 capris.. well a month or so ago no way.. today they slipped on well...yeahhhhhhh8 -
Margaret - I LOVE me a steam train. Gorgeous pics!
Karen - Sounds as if you had a lovely birthday. Being a food snob is a great thing to be. :bigsmile: However, I have found, as I get older, that the environment and atmosphere of a restaurant is just as important as the food. If I really like a place I can forgive average food. After all, I cook great food at home! :laugh: I also prefer to eat out things that I don't, or can't, cook at home.
Loved the micromosaics.
Today we are going to Bea's nursery for her end of year show.
It's just after lunch. If the rain holds off we will walk there, about 30 mins, otherwise it's the bus. Miserable drizzle right now. I have no idea what she's doing in the show. Yesterday she asked if daddy was coming. I said I didn't know. She put on a wistful face and said, "I like Daddy." DH said, "That's a good job." :laugh:

Morning! On my first cup of coffee.
Heather I’m with you, I like my own food best but a restaurant that makes something special is a treat if I’m with people I want to be with. If it is a social requirement, I often hate the expense (for alcohol I don’t drink), and overpriced, average food!
For fun I made an extensive list of little and big things to do with myself for the next month of summer vacation (teacher here!). By no means is it marching orders, just fun to make an extensive list of projects I could tackle. Going to the movies and taking a free yoga class, riding the bus somewhere new, painting the basement stairs is a sample of the exciting activities
My DYS is in town this Monday and wants to get together so I’m thinking of pulling something together for that rather than the expense of going out. Maybe coffee and snacks-she’s vegan so baking is a little tricky.
DH came home with a bag of apples yesterday and politely begged for an apple pie so that is second order of the day, after the gym!!!! P.S. he is steadily losing weight using CICO, very disciplined fellow, that one.
Take care everyone.

Machka Thanks for the Barbara AHMOD update.
I miss Wendy's wonderful posts, too, but she was pretty clear that she was going to stop posting, as I recall. @auntiebk just disappeared into thin air!
Funny what captures the imagination. I woke up this morning thinking about those micromosaics. I may have to go look at them again soon. Our wonderful fine arts museum is free of charge except for certain exhibits. The Elizabeth Locke micromosaic exhibit is free! I found out about it when I was purchasing a membership for my emotionally disabled brother. He is an amazing artist, and he lives just a mile from the museum, so he spends a fair amount of time there. He can walk there and spend a few hours in a quiet air-conditioned environment filled with art. It is a respite away from being around other emotionally ill & sometimes argumentative or otherwise disruptive behavior. He mentioned that there was a special exhibit he was interested in, but it cost money so he hadn't gone. Now he is a member & can see all the exhibits as many times as he'd like to. I hope he goes every day and spends hours. He made this for my birthday:
Here are a few of his older creations:
