    Kim - I'm not surprised you are in tears. Sometimes you run away from something, management, and it creeps up behind you and taps you on the shoulder and says, "Hello! Remember me! I'm still here!" You obviously have a natural gift for it. Embrace it. And charge for it. My favourite quote is
    WHO ARE YOU PRETENDING NOT TO BE?
    Love to you, talented friend. <3

    Went to the supermarket. No queue! Lots of room. Forgot to buy cold meat but we've got cheese for tomorrow.

    Salmon tonight, Chinese style, with ginger, scallions and garlic and pak choi. Noodles for DH.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Good Morning Ladies - A beautiful Monday here in Cincinnati, Ohio. Not much sun, but it is the 70's and I'm sitting out on my deck drinking my tea and hoping to see some wildlife run across my yard (have a lot of deer and wild turkey).

    I'm still trying to put the names with screen names, so please be patient with me :)

    exermom :) - I know what you mean about the old jane fonda workout tapes, I still have my moms Richard Simmons dvd's . It is funny to see the outfits that we wore back then, I guess those were the 70's? It is still a good workout.

    Jacque (CoffeeandHumblepie) :) - Welcome......, Everyone on here is really nice. Hope you enjoy being with us. Enjoy your weight loss journey, and if you have any question, please feel free to ask.

    Tonya (BeUncommon) :) - great pictures of you and your daughter!

    Machka9 - Love your post on Rearranging your book shelf.. I can relate...Been doing a lot of rearranging and cleaning since this lock down, running out of things to clean... :D

    You ladies all enjoy your day and keep up your weight loss journey's

    Current weight 139lbs (63kg)
    Goal weight for my height (Driver License I asked permission they put 5’4 ..Doctors too lol if you round up it is lol I’m actually 5’3.5 or 3.6 .Daughter 5’2 on the dot for most scales measurement bars but some measurements show her at 5’1.so much so they round up to 5’2 then. So the goal weight is 130 If I got lower okay if not don’t care I feel my best at 130lbs. So 9 lbs (4kg) to go to my goal weight.

    Machka: Love the beautiful dolphin video. :bigsmile:

    KJ: Your focaccia is beautiful! Food art at its very best! :star:

    Lanette: I don’t remember wearing the sort of masks we have now, during and after the Mount St Helens ash fall, but I do remember the ash filling the gutters of our house. We used painting masks when we dug the ash out of the gutters with gardening trowels. That stuff was HEAVY! I remember scooping it out of the gutters and dumping it on the ground so that the gutters wouldn’t pull off of the eaves and fall to the ground. Then we put bark dust over the ash in the flowerbeds after cleaning out the gutters. Exciting times! Mt St Helens had a peak similar to all the other Cascade Mountains until the day of the eruption. Now it has the shape of an enormous snow-cone.

    DH’s uncle passed away during the eruption. DH drove across the state with our son few days later to go to the funeral. The pickup truck they drove's radiator got clogged with ash and they had to stop on the way to clear the radiator enough to continue.

    The gift shop at Multnomah Falls had beautiful blue glass balls available for sale after the eruption. The ash itself created the blue color.

    Heather > Have not been to the supermarket lately. We have just been ordering from Iceland. Do you know if it is still just one person allowed in the store at one time? It might be nice to just have a wander around the supermarket.

    Jaxsgma > Thank you very much :) Photography is my passion and can't wait until I feel better to get back into taking some pictures.. It has been awhile not counting the one session I had while I was in Canada last summer :)

    Amber > you should be so proud of yourself :) you are doing fantastic!! (((hugs)))

    Tonya Micro-Guard Powder Antifungal for the skin folds…

    Heather I hope the cheese you bought was Stinky Runny Short-Shelf-Life French Cheese. The French are relying on you. :D

    Kelly Your beautiful focaccia reminds me of a sand mandala - the more beautiful for being perishable…to be eaten and then "destroyed" (yum yum).

    Kim Wondering if you slept last night. This morning when I woke up I was thinking of you, & it occurred to me that we are sometimes called to do things we did not choose and do not relish. I hope this group can be of help as you tackle this.

    I'm off to work upstairs in my lovely office. It's raining gently this morning, giving our new plants a nice drink. I have already been out for a walk this morning with one of the dogs - emulating Barbie - and realized as I was walking that I am once again firmly committed to logging every bite. My new HealthyWage challenge and my Rewirements (Happiness Course) have me excited about achieving my optimal health goals again. I've been down for a long time. Will make my accountability post a little later here.

    Kim - I hope that this change in roles will give you some financial security. I have no doubt you’ll be successful. I have never seen anyone more resourceful and determined than you.

    Kelly - I thought that bread was a piece of art. Beautiful

    :)Amber, congrats on your weight loss. You have not let any of the challenges in your life deter you from you from your chosen path.

    I am planting strawberries at sons today. The plant place I bought them from said to cover them with the black flat containers you get when you buy a flat. They get their water but it prevents the rabbits from getting the leaves. I have my garden and son's to work on so I have plenty to keep my busy. This is the first year at son's where I am trying the veggies. I will let you know how it goes. My starts are doing well and I hope to get them into the ground this week.

    It will be healthier and help the budget because I love fresh produce and it is pricey in the store and farmer's market. Plus it will be nice to have fresh picked ripe tomatoes. Simple pleasure!

    Supposed to get to 101 today. Good day to stay in and play with my sewing machine. Picked some Swiss chard for lunch and have to move my oregano as it’s being overtaken by the zucchini!

    No Karen, it was strong cheddar and St Agur, a blue cheese. Plus Parmesan. I would love to help the French out, but I can't resist it if it's anywhere nearby. I would need an unbreakable lock on the fridge. :o I limit myself to 1 oz of vintage cheddar a night. I buy stinky cheese if we are having visitors and then give them the remainder to take home. o:)

    Tonya - I'm sure each store has its own rules. This was a small local Sainsbury's. Only about five people in at one time and then one in, one out, in the queue. Works well. I haven't been to a big supermarket since the lockdown. I had one delivery from Waitrose. I have emailed Waitrose to tell them that I and my husband are over 70, so could we have a priority slot. We are not using the car at the moment and won't get on the bus. :noway:

    My Chinese style salmon was heavenly! AF beer.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Wearing shorts today, willing summer to show its warmth outside! I have been binge watching " Longmire" a great series on Netflix. Show about a small town sheriff, his deputies, dealing with crime, and the res ( reservation police). Its endrearing, sweet, disturbing, violent, and humorous, all at once. Its been awhile since I have watched a series and cared about the characters!
    I made pinto bean soup yesterday.💖. Husband bought hamhocks, but it was a package of 8 pieces. It looked like they were ham hocks cut in half. We both were thinking these must've been huge pigs! I sauteed 4 pieces in bacon drippings. Woohoo! Figured hey its all in the swine department! After simmering for a while I removed them and shredded the meat. One hock was just fat and bones, but the other three had a lot. I paid close attention to husband so I wouldn't let him add too much water every time he came down to mash the beans with a wire whisk. Last time you remember, I had literally 2 huge mason jars full of broth alone! I ate 2 bowls with crackers.💖. Lunch was tuna boats. I ate two meals yesterday. Glad I could still wear my wedding ring this morning! Normally beans mean salty things, and I pay the price by not being able to wear it! Between the three of us we made a big dent in the pot. There is maybe 2 servings left.

    Yesterday my son finished his huge Lego city. Presently he had the thing separated into pieces because he had to electrify it with little lights. He is so talented. Here's some pics showing it.

    When it was all together. Did you see his sushi place in the rooftop?😁
    And because taking things apart Lego wise isn't enough, these are his scooters he's organizing. Taking pieces off one to put on another.
