Allie - Lovely!
Really enjoying your pics. 
Fabulous! What great memories you have created.
We thoroughly enjoyed the lecture tonight on Brittany, in France. I have had three holidays there including my first honeymoon.
I managed to drag DH up out of his seat for the second Breton dance. I did both. Well done him. No other men got up. 
I asked a question in French. A very good evening.

Awesome photos Allie, thanks for sharing!
Karen, great photo of our little ballerina, keeping her in my thoughts.
Karen, sorry to hear of your de Quervains diagnosis. I had that several years ago when I was cooking for a living, too much repetitive motion. 10 weeks off work, with physio and all is still good, don't cook for a living anymore tho. Not because of the tendonitis, I was tired of cooking.
Katla, it's beyond me why a dr would suggest consuming alcohol when there are many other ways to get resveratrol.....
Day 2 of sticking to the plan is going well, didn't get to the gym today but that's okay. I've caught up on reading but now must dash!

Katla – I freeze my blueberries and then put the frozen berries in my yogurt. When the berries defrost, it makes a sort of “juice” which adds flavor to the yogurt
Kylia – your lunch sounds yummy
YEA Josephina!!! Thanks for keeping us updated
Alllie – wonderful pics. Thanks for sharing

Allie - Great pictures, I am so glad you went.
Congrats to Josephina!
Karen - Sorry to hear of the diagnosis. Hope you heal quickly.
Janetr - Glad to see you posting. Hope things continue to go smoothly.
Rori - So sad you are having to deal with the sundowners. Please take care of yourself.
Soup and salad at church, then Ash Wednesday service and choir practice afterwards. Choir sings at the service. Water exercise at YM yesterday was wonderful. So glad to get back in the water.
Got some pruning done today while it is dry. Need to call arborist to prune apple tree. We are trying to bring it back after 8 years of neglect. When we moved in the apples were small and mealy, now they are good sized if not so many and useable. They are Gravenstein and quite tart but good for baking.
Everyone take care, Sue in WA4 -
I’ve been reading and keeping caught up, not a whole lot to say.
Allie - loved the pictures, thank you for sharing.
I am going back to work this evening. We have a guest speaker giving a talk to family’s and staff on Dementia and Alzheimer’s. I thought it would be good knowledge for my own family members and of course the residents I work with.

Heather: I hope your DH will take care of any medical concerns. He is a delightful partner for you and you are happy together. :flowerforyou:
Karen: Thanks. I have an address for my donation. :bigsmile:
Allie: I love the photos. Thank you for sharing!!!
Michele: I freeze my blueberries, too, and then defrost them before I put them on my cottage cheese for breakfast. DH has started having them for breakfast, too. It is a good way to start our day. :flowerforyou:
(((Rori))) I am so sorry your DH is experiencing sundowners. Nothing about this is easy. I hope you are able to stay safe if there are possible anger episodes.

Got everything out to make the next meals try to stay in my calories.Had to go over a few days (end of period needed extra vitamins to help it y something low cal yet sweet) .
Hubby finally getting on board told me what direction to go with his meals! Egg 🥚 with tomatoe bullion,pepper,green beans,y brown rice.
Mine will be the hamburger helper tetrazzini pasta (no meat of course I don’t follow the directions getting my unsweetened almond milk in to other needs like spinach), mash potatoes bacon cheddar flavored with unsweetened almond milk 🥛,shrimp, salad with spinach y Apple pieces .

The church here has a soup dinner every Friday during Lent. Unfortunately, I already signed us up for the pot luck here. And we’re leaving next Friday

Hi Gals,
Sorry I have not been sharing, but I have been reading where and when I can.
Allie – great pictures, what an interesting place! You look so happy in the pictures!
Rori and others dealing with brain injuries and brain diseases in loved ones- All I can say is WOW you gals are heros.
New folks – Welcome!
All the other pictures, pups, grandbabies, kids, - so fun!
I work at a kids camp (part time as the organic gardener) and am the oldest, my VP is 51 and most of the staff is 21-31 years. In my personal life I have become a good Aunt/God Mom and am happy in that role, and pull it out when needed at camp. My co-workers are just learning to make choices completely on their own, and sometimes need an Aunt. These are the folks that were at my home for the Wedding shower I posted pictures of. Well there has been some upheaval at camp – nothing of any real bother, most of us could have solved it with a few minutes sitting in the sun with a cuppa tea – it’s mostly a communication issue, but oh how it has festered and finally raised it’s ugly head as a huge boil! I ended up with the VP staying at my house last weekend while we drank tea and talked, then drank vodka and laughed. She is as clueless at the young ones but with no legitimate excuse. Now I am working as a mediator (Aunt) helping heal some of the hurt feelings and lack of communication, coaching them all. I do think some of the staff will end up leaving (the job is seasonal their contract is over in June – but all have been asked back for the next season starting in August). But hopefully all will have learned something about themselves and about listening. But that has taken many an hour and leaves me exhausted, there is more ahead.
I have however found time for at least an hour each day in my yard, which is the best thing in the world for me as self care. I will also say that through all of this I have been so grateful and thankful for my own counselor who has gotten me through so much in 25 years of seeing her, and taught me to have boundaries, to listen, to hear, to clarify and to accept that we each have our own reality. I need to reach out to her to say thanks. I think I’ll write her a note.

Typical Tasmanian summer weather.
It's just drizzling here but is probably snowing at higher elevations.
We're caught in a great swirl from Antarctica -- the land mass below Tasmania. The land mass above Tasmania is mainland Australia.
