Heather - I’m sorry I brought up bad memories for you. It wasn’t my intention at all.
I am not divorced and am still married to the man I married at 18. I would think though that I would miss him if we were to divorce especially on the big anniversaries. I hope you have a better day tomorrow.
My daughter told me about a thing she signed up for called Voracious Readers dot com. From my understanding, It is new authors trying to get a break, they Post their books and the readers share reviews. Maybe something to look at for your books?
Sharon - thank you. We aren’t going away until the 17th and will return on the 21st it is only a 4 night excursion. I hope the weather is nice and yes I hope traffic isn’t too awful.
We are going to be touring around Jasper. I like Jasper for the mountains and scenery. I find Banff too “touristy” with all of the shops, restaurants and bars.
I spent some time alone with my boss today pulling weeds in a flower bed. Her and I have been struggling and it was nice to spend a few minutes alone with her just having a conversation not about work.
We were out there for about 45 minutes.

Did a DVD for the bosu today. Felt OK, but I was just a bit afraid so I took it real easy. The plan for tomorrow is to do Jeanette Jenkins Core Strength DVD
Barbara – so glad the click/treat worked so well for you. We did find that sometimes they forgot but soon remembered when you did it once. You’re doing great. Yea for the approval!!! I don’t know if it was something I ate, my stomach started hurting while I was eating dinner. At least now it’s gone. I’m thinking that it was my body’s way of saying “you need extra rest, slow down”
Lisa – that sign made me smile
Just came in from the pool. The water is 90. Honestly, not real refreshing., but better than nothing
Rita – I agree with you about enforcing mask wearing. What’s the sense of having a decree to wear one if it isn’t enforceable? People are going to do what they want to do, some regardless of how it affects someone else.
Allie – here’s a different way of looking at the move. How would you feel if you DIDN’T make the move? Going to FL will also be a nice vacation for anyone.
Katla – I was born in 55 and don’t remember the polio epidemic. But I understand that Hickory was very instrumental in taking care of the patients. They built a hospital in something like 48 hours.
Sharon – I miss our Green Room too (local community theater)
Margaret – ohhhhhhhh..Drew Barrymore is so adorable!!!
Went in the spa tonight. Too hot for a walk

It was pretty cool this morning so decided to take the daycare girl for a walk- pushing 45lb kid for an hour around the neighborhood. I need to do it again next week as long as the weather stays like it was- a bit cold when we started but by the end I was glad to be home(first time in a long time walking- used to walk daily with the triplets 2hrs every day)didn't even think to pack water or music w/speaker. Need to be more prepared next time.
I got more Velcro and elastic in so I will be making more masks this weekend.
Staying home all weekend- Husband has a virus(doctor doesn't think it is THE virus but testing Tuesday)uvula is swollen. He was sure it was THE virus until he talked to his doctor- could be from his CPAP, exhaustion (working 40hrs a week, graveyard shifts after 5 yrs of being semi retired and only working 15hrs a week) or not washing the mask often enough or ???. He has no other symptoms at all. He is off work until at least next Thursday.
Going to work out some tonight
Hope you all have a great weekend

Hi Gals,
Allie –
I know unsolicited !!!! but just a few thoughts, I live in 1000 feet and it’s small sometimes, is there any way to vacation for a week in 600 feet as a trial run? The smaller the house the more critical that the lay out and that the important to you areas are accommodated. For example my living area is ok, and my bathrooms are barely big enough to turn around in, which is ok with me, but often visitors comment on how small they are. I wondered if you could rent out your Conn. place for the first year, so you had a safety net – you worked so hard to get that place and while it isn’t perfect it is close to family, and you have made some great friends. Blow this off as unsolicited if you’d like ! No hurt feelings!
California has opened up then tightened up again depending on the county; but today was a day on the wild side for me. I have had a pretty tight social bubble, one of my closest friends has not embraced the mask/social distance rules much and has friends over all the time. I have seen her to work in the camp garden together but that’s all – but today we meet at a small restaurant with outdoor dining for breakfast. What a treat. And I felt pretty comfortable, there were about 20 tables all well spread out, and only 3 tables with folks at them. Each table was in a corner so lots of space. And then we took a nice walk, in the residential area of the small town we met in, lots of pretty gardens to look at. This was my second meal I did not cook since march (I did one to-go meal) and that was really nice, although it was a breakfast sandwich and not huge, it was rich, so I have ½ saved for tomorrow. I really think the pandemic and lowered cash flow has helped my ability to be sustained on smaller portions. WIN!

Rebecca love the Athena and her dog pictures. Drew makes me think about my sister. She would have loved Drew. She always had a dog and it helps me connect to her. She is gone fourteen years now.4

(((Heather))): Getting through tough bits in your life’s story wouldn’t easy for anyone. You have more courage than most people I know. I admire you. Give your DH a big hug from me. Men can be so clueless and helpless when they can’t fix things for those they love. As for you, (and many of us,) now and then we all need a wallow.
margaretturk: You and your son have a very sweet dog. Enjoy! Sometimes we wonder who rescues whom. It is wonderful when you rescue one another. I hope you, your son, and Drew Barry, the dog, are all aware of your good luck to find each another.
Tracey: Good for you, having some time to spend with your boss. I hope you enjoy every minute of you upcoming excursion. :flowerforyou:
Michele: I don’t remember the polio epidemic as it happened either, because I was too young back then to understand. When I got a little older, I remember people who had braces on their legs &/or crutches. As an adult, I had a friend my age who had polio as a chlld. She walked a tiny bit awkwardly but went on to have a wonderful marriage and three talented daughters.
Kim: I’m glad you had a great day with your friend.
Some bozo near the river put off a couple of firecracker blasts. I just heard one behind our house. I’m already feeling grumpy.

Katla I have a scar on my arm from my Smallpox vaccine. I read that's how you can spot a cougar at a bar.
Cheri I love your hair and I love that your husband is your hair stylist.
Allie I am a bit envious of your possible plans to move to Sanibel. So exciting! Sanibel is possibly my favorite place in the entire world. My spouse dreams of living there, and talks about it frequently. I am not sure I want to be that far away from the grandchildren.
Margaret What a darling dog Drew Barry is! I love her!
Heather My spouse is getting less skeptical about my MFP buddies. I think the concept of remote pals seems suspect to many people, though. Tell Johnny hi from me and tell him I'm not a bit scary and that I have a very boring ordinary life. Also that I adore the grandchildren of my spouse as if they were my very own flesh and blood. Just like he does. LOL!!!!! And I totally understand about the golden anniversary. In 2022 my 50th wedding anniversary to my ex-husband would be celebrated. I can see how that might be a source of tears and nostalgia. We are still such good friends and I do love him. I saw him at my granddaughter's swim meet 4 days ago, and he asked if my spouse and I were feeling okay about eating in a restaurant yet, as he was wanting to have a lunch date with us. I know that probably seems weird. Keep talking to us about this, we have broad shoulders and are good listeners.
Rebecca What a tolerant dog! Athena is just yummy.

Anyone care to post favorite zucchini recipes? I happen to have one the size of a small watermelon - a gift from a dear friend.

Well, I finally got son upright! It was a piece of toast with jam and him sipping Fresca. Then a bit later I made him a small turkey with cheese sandwich. Then a bit later he fixed poptarts! Lord, he's cured!💖. Stayed up late with him and we watched my recorded Ghost Adventures series that's entertaining, then watched some videos he liked. I will sleep well tonight.👍💖
Hugs to all that need them!

Karen: I like zuchini raw, sauteed, and sauteed after being dredged in parmisan cheese. 🥒. I’m not as fond of it when it is as big as a newborn wrapped in swaddling cloth. 🐵🙈🙉🙊4

Rebecca what a lovely dog with so good with Athena. The dog reminds me of our Tara, she was a German Shepherd and absolutely gorgeous natured, unfortunately she had something called degenerative myelopathy (not sure of the spelling) and her back legs stopped working, we did get her some walking wheels which she loved but a few years later she had a stroke and had to be put to sleep as there was no chance of recovery. I loved that dog. I'll have to find a photo of her.
Heather Enjoy your wallow, we all need to wallow every now and then. You made me smile when you mentioned what your hubby thought of your pals on MFP
I had a strange phone call on Friday, a man said he was a detective in the fraud squad in London and that a young man had tried to use my card to buy a laptop for £600 in Argos (somewhere in London) and asked if I had got all my cards, and had I authorised anyone to use my card. When I said I had mine and that I hadn't authorised anyone to make this purchase, he said that I should call the York police as it was out of his jurisdiction, to report it as fraud - I thought this was a bit strange and thinking it was a scam was waiting for him to ask for card details etc but he just said to dial 999 and to do it now. He said it twice do it now. I'd take all his details so ended the call. As I am on internet banking I checked my balance online and all seemed okay but just to be on the safe side I called my bank (from my mobile - he'd called on my landline) and after waiting an age to get through to customer services was told it was a scam and that there's a lot of scams going on at the moment. But what did he hope to gain from this? I could not call 999 whilst he was still on the line (999 is the emergency number and I would have had to call the local number for the police not the emergency number) so a bit unsure of what was going on.
I don't normally answer my landline, but I was expecting a call from the vet, but in future I'll leave it for the answer machine. If it's important they'll leave a message.
A bit of good news I have had a tax rebate. An unexpected windfall, must admit I was a bit worried when I saw the envelope from the Inland Revenue. As we are expecting a large vet bill this month, every little helps.
I remember having the polio vaccine on a sugar cube at the doctors, but that's about my only memory of the Polio epidemic, I think I had to have it before starting school so I'd be about 3-4years old.
Time is getting on, better make a move, waiting for son to return home so we can go shopping, I was unable to get a home delivery this week. Managed to get one for next week though. I think I must have been lucky and got a cancellation slot.
Take care
Love to all
