    Allie - Most of your family is probably saying, "Cool, now we'll have family to visit on an island!" Seriously, I saw more people I loved during the four years I lived in Las Vegas than any other time in my adult life combined.

    RV Rita--I for one enjoyed the pictures of you and the natives.

    Pip--Sounds like things are lining up for your next adventure. Looking forward to hearing all about it.

    Allie--You have lots of choices and am excited for you.

    Weigh in this morning was not good, but weather is so HOT and I am not dealing well with it. Been working so many hours am beat when I get home. Today I did set the alarm on my phone for every 2 hours and going for as walk around the circle of offices. About a 2-3 minute walk, but a start.

    Blessings, Vicki GI NE <3

    New EPA updates list of cleaners that work on COVID-19 to SARS 😷 https://www.epa.gov/pesticide-registration/list-n-disinfectants-use-against-sars-cov-2-covid-19
    Can type epa code on bottle to search faster.
    Lysol ,bleach,y scrub y bubbles made it but not sure if all of their products did or didn’t check to be sure. Can add bleach or Lysol cleaner to some other types if necessary if it doesn’t have a don’t add bleach warning ⚠️ can call manufacturers to be double triple sure. Some Vegan ones made it too!

    Welcome Melissa :) Where are you based?
    Your plan sounds doable, but the disease sounds awful. So sorry. I took up running very late in life, so I know how you must miss it. Is swimming possible where you are?

    Went for my 5k along the sea front. Breezy, but nice and cool. It went well, despite the broken night. We stopped at the deli on the way home and bought lots of vegetables for vegetarian dishes. We always enjoy a chat with the Palestinian owner.

    Can't see the grandkids until next week. :* They are seeing friends and family. My fault for not booking up. I hope for next Thursday maybe. Or later. It has to be nice weather as I'm still not happy going indoors. The other grandparents don't mind. Can't even Zoom they are so busy. I know my ex wants a look in too as he is in London at the moment. Oh well.

    Cooked my new favourite thing - wholemeal spelt spaghetti. Love it. I concocted a delicious topping of artichokes, fava beans, peas, scallions, chilli and garlic with sautéed prawns and stirred in pesto and creme fraiche. Wow!

    DH in the other room watching his soccer team. They are very near to the drop zone. Tense.

    Lots of love to you all
    Love Heather UK XXXXXX

    Just got back from an hour long walk pushing the 40lb daycare girl. Yesterday it was the 25lb boy- Going an hour earlier and less weight to push sure makes a difference. Wanted to come back home half way through but kept going. We were going to play at the park but when we got to the park, all the equipment is taped off. Did not go close enough yesterday at the other part to see if it is closed to- will check tomorrow. I try going different areas every day. Yesterday I just let Augustine pick the direction- a few new streets(and a few new fruit trees to keep our eyes on a little later in the season- Asian pears, figs, apples, fuyu persimmons, apricots, nectarines... Guavas a little farther out.
    Dinner tonight will be chicken breast in teriyaki sauce with fried rice for husband, home made pesto(picked basil this morning) chicken breast for son and I- so will have fried rice for sure- he loves mine. Cucumber salad(picked it yesterday evening) and ?
    Had a burger earlier before our walk- first one in at least 6 months(husband picked up Jack in the Box yesterday- I had just finished lunch so kept it til this morning). Will hit the cardio machine and/or bike later. Need to also work in the garden some more. Have to plant more okra- the other didn't do much. :( Need it for gumbo.

    Did Catahe Friedrich’s Fitness Cross Fire DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to do Tracy Long’s Defined Lines DVD.

    Katla – I didn’t say anything to these people, but it just kind of annoyed me. I am so sick of going in only one door and out only one door. I want to enter the store at the door closest to where I am going! I’m sick of waiting to find out they don’t have what I want. Another thing that kind-of annoys me is when I see someone wearing a mask around their neck or something like that. Yesterday I saw a guy with his mask off one ear. I don’t say anything, tho. I have seen more workers were face shields lately. Wonder if they’re just as effective as a mask but you probably don’t have the condensation problem on your glasses (if you were glasses)

    Marie FL – welcome

    Barbara
    – oh, a “Jersey tomato” is one of the absolute best tomatoes. They sold some “Jersey tomatoes” in PA and I bought one. It tasted so “bland”. Kind of like ripe tomatoes that are right out of the garden still warm from the sun.

    Terri – I hear ya about being apprehensive about people flying. Jess is supposed to fly out to Idaho in the middle of July and I think they’re flying somewhere else. I’m worried for her, but I know there’s nothing I can do.

    Viv – Vince admits now that he waited too long to have our one cat put down. The cat had cancer but he was bound and determined to give the cat chemo. I remember him and Jess force feeding the cat. I refused to do it. I would only take the cat to the oncologist if there wasn’t any other way for him to get there. That’s the only thing I’d do. I didn’t agree with prolonging his pain.

    From what Steve was telling me about how he makes the pork schnitzel, to me it sounds like breaded, fried pork chops. We shall see!

    Melissa - welcome

    Rita – Offended? I find it amusing, don’t stop posting those pics of you and the natives, especially with the “cigarette”

    Dlkf – do you plant the red or the green okra? You probably do the green since you said you use it in gumbo. I would think that the green would do better. To me, tho, the red is better tasting

    Michele,
    Safeway has a door in and a door out. The Walmart here has an all weather foyer. There are doors at each end. One side is for people going in & the other going out. Inside, there are one way aisles.

    Schnitzel is a breaded and fried boneless pork chop. Served with fries and lemon squeezed over the pork, it's delish. I have modified mine to be gluten free and the Mister (who is German) actually likes my breading better.

    Addition: In Germany, one can often get it made with veal (Wiener Schnitzel). In the US, it can be pork or chicken. Rarely do I find it made with veal here.

    The schnitzels I have had in Vienna, the home of schnitzel, are either veal, or pork, cut very thin, or beaten thin, then breaded and fried in lots of fat. The coating should lift and separate from the meat, like big bubbles, which protects it from drying out.
    A real schnitzel is a thing of wonder. :D

    I have never heard of red okra- I love it any way- especially fried in the air fryer or mom's pickled okra(that is SOOOOO GOOD)but also in a good bowl of gumbo.
    I will look for the red okra when I am ordering seed for next year(will also tell my parents)

    Yes, it must be flattened. Frankfurt has a version of schnitzel that is wonderful too.

    Hello! I just started ...again. I'm 54 and at 294 lbs, I'm desperate for a lifestyle change. I would like to get friends for motivation, recipes, tips, and just whatever. :)

    I am in the same boat as you. I need the motivation.

    Michele: It seems like we’re all having to change our habits while the Covid 19 Pandemic is impacting our country. I love my routines and habits, but I haven’t been able to go to yoga since this all started. I miss yoga. I’m not sure when the end will be in sight, but I’m looking forward to yoga and meeting friends in public places to have a good time. Luckily I have the opportunity to go to the stable once in a while. :star:


    I flubbed up when I bought CBD oil for the dog today. I expected a bottle with a dropper, as always. I got a bottle with a spray nozzle instead. It sure isn’t easy to put a few drops on the dog’s cookie. I don’t get along with unexpected changes in some things. :embarassed:

    On a more positive note, we got deer netting up on blueberry bush number 2. It is now safe from deer. We’ll due bush #3 in a few days. All of its berries are green and hard, so it won’t be a target yet. The best news is bush #1. It has some ripe berries already. YUM!!! They taste wonderful. :bigsmile:
