    Rita I was intrigued by the Turtle Marathon, so I decided to look into it. Here is what I found out. Held in Roswell, NM on Labor Day weekend annually for over 30 years, the race is in memory of Liz Mooney & raises funds for multiple sclerosis. The Turtle Marathon started out in 1986, I believe, as a small, no frills race sponsored by Liz's husband, Dr. Richard Mooney, a local OB-GYN, in honor of his wife & to raise money for multiple scerosis research. I don't know how many participants there are now. Liz died in 2011 at the age of 54, but the race goes on, now in memory of her. It starts really early in the morning (0530) to beat the heat. Afterwards people go to the UFO museum before heading home! The finishers receive ceramic turtles, and the signs that keep people on course have turtles painted on them. The article didn't say, but I am guessing Liz loved turtles. It's such a sweet story. <3

    Thanks Karen! Here’s more about it!

    “This race is staged each September as summer is beginning to give way to fall here in the city that’s become synonymous with UFOs thanks to the 1940s “incident” and the television shows, movies and docudramas that have popularized it ever since.

    The annual Turtle Marathon, Half Marathon & Labor Day 5K offers some of the lowest entrance fees of any race of its kind in the nation, as well as the beauty of the surrounding desert scenery and a course on which many runners may have a chance to actually win, thanks to the often small size of the participant fields.”

    Happy Friday! I am so ready for the weekend. DH works tomorrow and I am so looking forward to at least part of a day where I can do nothing. This has been a bad week food wise and I know I am stress eating and have to get a grip on it. Pip I need your boot a couple times.

    Today is DSIL's birthday. Tomorrow will be 2 weeks with no dialysis. We are planning to go down to Kansas on Sunday. Our car is still in the shop, they are hoping to have it done end of next week. So DS is letting us take their car.

    Margaret--That steam train went across Nebraska last week and because of water had to make extra long stops. When it finally got to Grand Island Iwas working so didn't get to see it.

    Karen--Sounds like a very nice birthday.

    Connie--That sounds like a very good arrangement.

    Karen--Your brother is very talented. Thanks for sharing.

    Rita--Turtle races sound interesting, I will be looking forward to finding out if it is really turles or slow people.

    Meg--Sure good to see you posting again. This heat is the pits. Sunday only to be 77. Stay cool my friend.

    I joined the wellness center at the hospital I work at today, There is no reason I can not go down when I get off and exercise. So going to start that and keep better track of what goes in my mouth.

    Blessings, Vicki GI NE <3

    Thank again :0)

    Yeah a lot of the ideas they used to tell us to tell our kids now will/is obsolete. I believe the only true advice is Everything In Moderation! JR tall so heard peekaboo turned around to see him peering over the stove top while I was clearing dishes lol.

    :)Meg, The only time I have ever used paper plates in my own home was when we were in an RV park and had to make the water in the tank last for a week. I needed to use water for washing me much more than for washing dishes.

    :)Connie, I just read this line in the novel I'm reading---"Her family loved her--both the ones she had been gifted with biologically and the ones her heart had chosen". I thought of you.

    Barbie -what novel are you reading? That is so sweet!

    :) The book is called "Killer Gourmet". It is one in a long series by G.A. McKevett about a woman from Georgia raised with her many siblings by her Granny. She is now a private investigator in Southern California. I love mysteries with interesting women investigators.

    Anyone here use homesciencetools company in the past couple years? I used to buy for them for my Daughter now needing to buy for JR soon. I checked BBB they have zero complaints still. Their the ones my Daughter kept begging 🥺 for the dissection kits decades ago. $8 shipping but noticed they still sell slides to travel handheld microscopes including Doctor type models to kits. So far buying from companies in the past have been crap shoots! Rocks to bugs you name it. Got a lot of her stuff still but needing things to go with them that have been used up like the brine shrimp eggs!

    Downloaded on his eye pad a word phonic game yesterday he has it mastered already so check mark for finding one that caught his attention span! Bought more Chris Ferrie books 📖 since he took to them he own Quantum physics already so buying organic chemistry,Newtonian physics,General Relativity,y Tocket Science. Here’s hoping he likes them too it’s not just the one book only lol 😂 can’t read a 2yr olds mind.

    allie - I watched Bohemian Rhapsody with my friend and mother in law the night after the wedding. I agree it was an awesome movie.

    Pip - what an awesome gift.

    Well we bought cereal for breakfasts for us, bread and Turkey for sandwiches for me. He bought some canned items for his much as $7. I think I had half of the items already on hand. One of the meals is pork chops $2, breaded $2 with scalloped potatoes $3. None of my meals are over $10 for everything.

    It's Saturday!!

    So glad MFP seems to be back on track.

    Machka - thank you for sharing your photos and for finding Barbara AHMOD. Even though she's not back on here yet, it's good to know she's trying. We have Windows 7 on all of our PC's, but I refuse to upgrade to 10. Used it a bit at work and now at the MG Plant Clinics and to me, it's not user friendly at all.

    I ordered a 10" Fire tablet during the Prime sale, which will cover my birthday and Christmas gifts. B) Android seems to be a fairly stable OS - I can access a lot of things on my 7" Fire tablet that just get bogged down on this PC. So, PC will be relegated to banking, Word and Excel stuff. New tablet should be here Tuesday.

    Amber - I really enjoyed that article about Middle Aged Puberty. :D Very good - I'd never thought of it like that.

    Meg
    - do all of those shoes still fit? :p Do you have a "shoe closet?" I still have a few pairs left that I'm sure I'll never wear now that I'm stuck with orthotics. I totally understand why older gals wear running shoes all the time and to every event. Here I thought they were trying to relive their childhood.... nope, their poor feet hurt. :'( And those running shoes are the only comfy shoes they own.

    Karen in VA - what a great way to spend your birthday! Those mosaics were fascinating. Does your brother still paint a lot? He is truly gifted!

    Heather - cute photo of Bea's show. So neat that you are now living close enough to them to be able to attend functions like that. And, I am envious of the butcher shop/deli! I believe I can smell all of the aromas over here B) That's one thing I miss about Seattle - there were a few similar shops-in the families for generations (Italian) I'd frequent when I could run around on my lunch hour.

    Viv - how exciting for you to have lottery winnings to spend on your kitchen.

    So I went to the doctor yesterday to see what's up with the lesion beside/in my belly button. She said it might be a stitch or staple from my surgeries trying to work itself out, she said she's seen that before. She ordered a soft tissue ultrasound to see if anything shows up. If not, I may need a CT scan.

    Make it a great weekend, my friends. <3 Stay cool!!!

    I liked the article too send it to a girlfriend. She had some bad days recently especially at work (Jobs don’t always accommodate our old lady issues with grace but they did sent her home to shower y change clothes). Part of getting older.

    Still deciding whether to get JR some stuff now or later from the catalog I ordered.Afraid if they ever close then what? I don’t know any other good ones to buy microscope slides of lungs to arm pit glands . Just hate that I don’t know if they’ve gone down hill over the last decade or still good.
    Anyone know any good sites to buy educational items for kids? I’m trying to get JR to a 3rd grade level for kindergarten. Might allow him to skip grades not sure yet .Worked our not skipping for Daughter but things have changed they may not offer high school classes for elementary kids who need stimulation anymore in our town.
