Happy Wednesday. Going to be another hot and muggy day here. Can't believe tomorrow is the first of August already. This year is flying by.
Heather--Glad you had a good reunion. Lots like a fun group of ladies.
Rebecca--Althenea is beautiful. Love all the dark hair.
Well caught up and out of time. Sounds like some rain is moving into our area.
Blessings, Vicki GI NE

I had a doe sighting this morning in the grassy low area that is between our lowest retaining wall and the river. She had a person sighting, me, and she left the area. :ohwell:4

Ladies: I need help. I would like to have a pool party for those on our street. Remember how I told you that Vince was fighting me every step of the way? I originally wanted it for the neighborhood, we settled on just our street. I wouldn't be surprised if the people next door to me don't come. They seem to want to keep to themselves.
Anyway, Vince just told me that he doesn't want to be grilling when people are here. He'd want to grill before everyone got here and that I should just keep them on a platter, covered, in the sun & they'd stay warm. Well, you need to keep food at a certain temperature or bacteria can grow. So I'm thinking that I'd need to keep them warm and the only way I can think to do that is to keep them in a crockpot. Looks like you need to have a bit of beef broth in the pot to keep them moist. Has anyone done this? I'm thinking that you can keep hot dogs and hamburgers warm in the same pot. I guess I'll have to put the burgers in the microwave to melt the cheese.
Now what can I have? I really can't eat hamburgers and I can't remember the last time I had a hot dog. I'm thinking chicken. Any suggestions? It doesn't have to be chicken. I sort-of don't want a veggie burger because they look so much like hamburgers. Now if he was cooking them and then we were eating them, that wouldn't be a problem because we can keep them separate. But that's not to be. I guess I could put the veggie burgers in another crockpot, but that seems like overkill for a few burgers.
Any ideas?
I have always liked using those precooked meatballs in the freezer section and just put that in a crock pot with barbecue/ sweet and sour or smoky flavor sauce. Just let them simmer until the sauce is in all in them. Put a container of toothpicks next to the pot. Maybe potato salad on a casserole dish sitting in ice platter.4 -
I too have an aging dog I believe is becoming senile. Major anxiety issues, especially at night. I tried CBD oil but no help for him. I just did research and it was found omega 3 helps a lot for this. I’ve also got a thunder jacket with a spot to put oils or scents on it. Going to try all this tonight. He also has cataracts and arthritis. I really hope I can get his issues under control. Walks at 3 AM to explore are not really my cup of tea! Although the sky and stars are beautiful here in the sleeping quiet park!

well losing 40 lbs is all well and good until you lose a sentimental ring that slipped off your finger because it was to big.. praying to St Anthony and hope it show's up.. I bought it after my mom passed away and it has the serenity prayer on it, since she was a member of AA that held alot of meaning to me.. I wont give up hope..
spent a bit on the kid for school so im done with that..7 -
Rita: We have a Thundercoat, too. It is very useful if we want to take our dog for a long trip in the car, but doesn't help with loud bangs such as Fourth of July fireworks. Every dog is different, and I'm glad yours is able to get relief from anxiety by wearing his. Our dog needs his Thundercoat in the car, but is totally relaxed in the Bounder. That is a happy surprise. :bigsmile:1

Grandmallie- Hopefully it will be like when I lost my Moms wedding ring in the mid on a rainy day.It appeared in a jacket I wasn’t even wearing that day clean in a pocket that was zipped up no way to explain it.Prayed every night to God it would be found bam 💥 it was back.Too afraid to wear it ever since so it sits in my safety deposit box lol.If you know anyone with a metal detector time to grab them!

My son has just texted me to say that when they had the burglary and their sentimental jewellery was taken, their passports were also stolen and they didn't realise! They are going abroad in a couple of weeks so they all 5 have to get emergency passports. For some reason I don't understand I had to give him all my passport details! !
DH published his new historical detective novel, THE KNOTTED THREAD, on Amazon yesterday! His name is John Ward. I know a couple of you have been reading his series. They are set in 884.
I thought we ought to celebrate as he was feeling a bit of after birth pangs and anti climax,
so we broke open the last one of our Christmas presents champagne. Very nice. Dinner was Mushroom Risotto. I am well over on calories because I didn't do any bonus calories today with the two granddaughters here.
Back to it tomorrow.
Today I watched a tv programme and was shocked to learn that my daily tea that I drink comes from Africa, not India, Plus it has a disturbing journey to get here. Wow! Opened my eyes!
Love Heather UK xxxxxxx3 -
My two grands will start 3rd and 4th grade tomorrow.... Son took the boy for a haircut yesterday and mom took him back today to get it shorter. Much better!

Yesterday a Reiki practitioner came to our home and used her hands and knowledge to catalyze more healing in my feet, especially the left one. As she was zapping me with energy, most of my body was feeling the surge. But the left foot was stagnant. We kept at it, and by the time she left, it was better. When I got up today, the pain and stiffness was greatly minimized. I've been zooming around all day, and haven't even noticed it. Ah-maaaze-ing. I'm not surprised. Martina, the Reiki master, comes from long line of female healers in Ireland, and has honed her skills over 25 years. Now DH wants to try Reiki, so I think I'll have her work on us back-to-back one day soon. Here is a link for anyone who would like to know more about Reiki.
https://wholepersonhealth.com/services/reiki/
The lovely lady who recommended Martina to me is a new acquaintance who I've chatted with a handful of times in the gym and pool. Today I invited her to lunch to thank her for the referral, and we are getting together this Friday.
I don't think I set goals for July, but like Lisa, to be lighter is always a goal. I have been gaining and losing the same 2 pounds for the month. Can't get emotional about it. Will keep smiling and keeping on.
Stay well, friends. We can do this.

Didn't set specific goals for month. Like most, I wanted to be lighter and lost a bit over three pounds (was on vacation one week, so not bad). Have done more decluttering. House is much tidier. Started regular schedule for weights and kept up walking. Going to try to do more of the same for August.
@coastalgosgal - love the cat pics.2 -

Hi Gals,
Kelly – what is the age range of your day care kids?
Heather – Oh dear what a drag that they had not realized earlier. Some of our banks offer something called a “safe deposit box” it’s at the bank and is a locked box you pay for. You have one key the bank the other, it takes both keys to open, they come in various sizes and perfect for something like a passport that you do not need everyday. My current bank doesn’t have them, but my previous bank did and they were $60 a year for the smallest size which was all the space I needed. They may have these in Britain and I may be sounding crazy! But if they do it might be a good idea for some very important papers. In the states your passport would be a good item to use to begin to steal someone’s identity. Congratulations to DH!
Carol –great looking grands!!!
Rori – great news for you and maybe some help for DH

No longer have TOM, but I’m a bit the same after holidays. I think it’s a combination of being less strict, and sodium from eating out that dies it.
..... as long as I remain within my normal BMI range, it's all good. No stress. Right now I've eased into overweight, so I'm working a little bit harder to get back into the normal range.
M in Oz
My digital scale had popped up into the ‘overfat’ zone when I came home last Saturday, but I am already back down into the normal range again. By the way, I don’t use the old BMI calculator anymore, but use one that takes age/height/build into account.
My digital scale also tells me that my muscle mass has increased over 3% in the last 6 weeks, which gives me great satisfaction after all the strength work I have been doing.
Barbara: Oooo! Power Tools! I have always loved them gadgets. Stems from when I would be daddy’s little helper as a girl! Big brother was bookish as a boy, but he ended up as an engineer in the army. Go figure!0
