    Good morning ladies! <3

    Sheri - loved the photos of your little farm & especially the goats. Beautiful country. Former goat and sheep farmer here, thanks so much for the memories! :) Managed to binge read a Harlen Coben and David Baldacci this weekend on the kindle, and just downloaded another one.

    Katla - sorry your gym is closing for a while, I was glad to hear you were able to get back to yoga for a little bit.

    Looks like WA State is on a 4 week restriction on inside restaurant seating, gyms, stores whittling down to 25% capacity at any one time, people should be working from home, etc. I'm hoping the dentist and vet's offices will stay open this time as those are the only appointments we had coming up in early December.

    Rebecca - if you are in the market for another Fire tablet, and know someone with Amazon Prime, I bet there will be great deals on them on Black Friday. That's where we picked up a larger one last year.

    Heather - thanks for showing us the Zoom with your grandkids! I've used Zoom once for a MG training class last year. If any of my Indiana relatives are using it, I'll have to schedule a chat with them. After I've done my hair, lol. Your new carpet is awesome by the way.

    Allie and Lisa - glad they've figured out your heart problems and crossing fingers the meds do the job.

    Kelly - I was just thinking the other day how great it was that Lauren/hub/grands were able to visit a while back.

    Barbara - did you figure out your Medicare Plan D for 2021 yet? I did the research a few weeks ago on Medicare.gov and think I know which one we'll switch to, but let the pot soak. Need too get after it again this week and just get 'er done.

    OK, better close. Dogs have been standing by the back door for the past 10 minutes....

    Make it a great week! <3

    :) A few hours before the governor of Washington declared the new shutdown conditions for the next 14 days, Jake heard from a friend that it was going to happen, so Jake immediately called the place where he gets his hair cut to make an appointment. We don't care about restaurants, bars, gyms, church, holiday gatherings or any of the other things that will be affected, but he didn't want to have to go too long without a hair cut. None of this affects me at all. My freezer and cupboards are full and I can still walk the streets and fields in my neighborhood.

    :) I get out of my nightshirt in the morning and put on dog walking clothes, take a shower after I walk the dogs and put on a different set of clothes after walking the dogs, and get out of those clothes at bedtime and put on my nightshirt. It is the same every day. Keeping life simple is a huge stress reducer for me.

    Heather: Edie looks wonderful playing her cello. :flowerforyou: My nine year old granddaughter has taken up the saxiphone. It is almost bigger than she is and she wore the best smile ever for her photo with it. :smiley:

    Barbara: I loved “Just A Little Lefse.” :bigsmile:

    (((Allie))) Sending good thoughts your way. I hope your tele-med appointment gives you help and support. :star:

    Lanette: Governor Brown pays attention to the challenges and shuts things down when the CoVid epidemic worsens. I think she is doing a remarkable job, even though it prevents time with my yoga class. I have exercise equipment in my garage, and an invitation to ride Arrow from my friend. I would like to have the class, the exercise equipment AND Arrow time. :ohwell: Looking at national news, I think we’re quite lucky to live here in the PNW.

    I'm "looking forward" to a mammogram later this week. :grumble: It has been a few years since the last one. :ohwell:

    Thanks for the thought, Katla! All the windy bits are north of us in the northwest corner of the state. So far, we are just fine.

    Monday morning! Let the potty training begin!

    been there done that with a TON of kids over the past 35yrs of preschool teaching(had the 2 1/2yr old class where they were supposed to be potty trained to come to the preschool- most were just starting to be trained- more time spent taking the whole class to the bathroom because I couldn't leave them alone and no one to stay with them, than actually teaching) Most of my 35yrs have been as daycare provider- LOTS of potty training with all them. Potty trained 3 at a time a few different times(like with the triplets)
    The one thing I have learned with them- Potty training is one time where you can not force a kid to do it if they are not ready. When they are ready, they get it and it is so easy.
    Hoping I am done with that(hoping to totally retire after this kid and just potty trained her)
    Good luck!

    cute kitten- we have seven inside cats(only one of them is indoor/outdoor-after he started tearing up the doorcasings from stress when we got the second cat)-plus one feral outside cat. All are formerly feral cats that found us. They have a catio that they can go out in but can't run away. Oldest is at least 11yrs old, all black except one white spot, then a big 20lb long hair Siamese marked boy, 3 tabby's-brother/sister and then most recently finally brought mom inside after a neighbor told us he was going to catch her and our black cat and get rid of them- and another brother/sister pair of light apricot colored long haired girl and short haired boy. Never planned on having this many. Husband and son couldn't part with any of them.

    My mom just went to the store with a list of four items and strict instructions not to buy any meat to freeze. My dad went with her to say no. She came home with a whole chicken plus a turkey breast plus five packs of assorted meat. There is no place to put it all. She still shops like she feeds a family of six. It's time for me to do the shopping but that leaves her sitting at home too much. She is getting so she asks the same question three times in five minutes. This doesn't bode well. She is 88.

    That is quite a lot of sweets! Looking at them makes me feel the weight coming on...LOL

    What a beautiful cat! Do you have a name we can call you?

    Son has decided it is probably a good thing we will not be sharing TG with them as one of their children's play mates in the neighborhood is being quarantined.

    I love making them but actually after making all them for so many hours, I rarely try any of them. The only fudge I try is the peanut butter fudge- have to make sure there is enough peanut butter in it(plus, that is my favorite combination). If I can just stay away from the toffee bars and the caramel corn!!! Both recipes are so simple, cheap, and taste so amazing. Caramel corn is home grown popcorn, brown sugar, butter, Karo syrup and peanuts. Toffee bars are just saltine crackers, butter, brown sugar, choc. chips and chopped almonds.

    I am very familiar with this. We had 5 at one time, now just these three. The original three (before my time here), my daughter's cat and the two I had before my husband rescued this one. I posted their pictures earlier. My husband is the kind of person who will stop in the middle of the street to help a box turtle cross the road (we live in the middle of nowhere). Ours are outdoor cats, we have 13 acres and are far enough from the road that we don't worry about that. Although I do worry about coyotes, but they're all usually in at night.

    My mother-in-law, 92, has dementia. She insists on living on her own at home, so we have a couple caregivers spend some time with her, and we have cameras all over her house as well as an emergency call button that she wears. Phone calls are always a bit frustrating because it takes just seconds for her to forget something you just said. She also has Alexa to give her reminders. I check the activity, and it's all usually "Alexa, what day is it?" at least four times an hour. We tried assisted living, but she got so depressed, missed her cats. My husband and his sister decided that her quality of life is more important than the length, at this point. It's such a difficult thing to deal with, because we feel bad when we get frustrated with her, but then it's difficult not to sometimes. I'm sorry you have to deal with this.

    No formal exercise today but I will get my steps in. The plan for tomorrow is to do a body pump DVD.

    Gina CA     – when I got my car, Carmax was pretty good. They actually gave me more for my old vehicle than I expected. The other thing was that there wasn’t a salesman ready to pounce on you, you looked at the cars on their lot by yourself. Of course, to take a car for a test drive you needed to have one of their salesmen with you. But they didn’t pressure you to buy a car. But they also didn’t haggle over the price.

    Katla     – I do hope your healthclub opens again real soon. Great that you can visit with Arrow. That’s something else that’s on top of your list. Can you bring him a carrot?’’

    Does anyone know if there is a small device (like a pedometer) that you can put in your pocket that displays the time of day? I think my watch is going slow again and that usually indicates that you need a new battery. But it seems like I’m going thru a lot of batteries for this watch. I can get the time on my phone. But the only problem is that some of my pants don’t have deep pockets. I do have a pedometer on my Christmas list. In the meantime, I’ll just use my phone to get my steps. But now I’m wondering about the time. It would be nice if there was a pedometer that would display not only steps, but calories and the time also. I don’t know if there’s any that’ll do that. Gotta check but thought someone on here might know off the top of their head. Today is work, then bowling (where I’ll s*** as usual), mahjongg tonight. I want something I can put in my pocket, not wear on my wrist. Update: the pedometer that I have on my list at Amazon does keep the time of day

    Mrsbfe     – is the breed of kitten “the kind you get at the Humane Society” or is it “the kind that is feral”. We have “the kind you get at the Humane Society”


    Debbie CA     – you sure do know how to wear down a gal’s resistance….lol
