    Oh thanks for the suggestion of African violets, I might give them a try. Do they do well in cold weather, because that window is quite chilly in the winter months.
    Husbands French dips are with big French bread rolls, but I am all in with a tomato sandwich, slice of cheddar, and some spinach, on a hearty grain bread.
    Whining in spoiler:
    Yesterday I ate 5 baby potatoes, 1/2 of a small yellow onion, a half of a sausage, and cabbage. By 5 pm I was not happy, took Gas X. By 8:45, my stomach and abdomen was tight, so I took a bath. Could not lay down just too much pressure. Took a shower, then went downstairs and sat some on the couch. By 12:30 I took another bath. Just ridiculous huh?? By 2:00 a was feeling better, and so I was able to sleep. I need to get a handle on this. I think portion wise it was too much of a good thing.
    This morning as I was getting out of bed, a big swirl of vertigo hit me. Just wonderful.

    Only two more pen pal letters to write. I have been having fin writing on the scrapbook pages, its challenging to write straight though, as most do not have lines to write on.
    I am hoping regarding our lease that this month to month thing will work out. It does make any maintenance that needs to get done difficult though. This winter will most likely take the back gutter system off the house. Last February when the roof was rinsed off, gutters cleaned, the guys had said the gutters on the whole back of the house were holding on by a thread. Then there's the cement cracks in the driveway that our poor car has to stumble over. She (yes our car is a she), has to aim out at an angle or she scrapes her underside. Then there's that oven issue. The broiler part works. Its the bake feature that clicks off.

    Afternoon ladies
    I did take a little snooze on the couch,I am trying to stay out of the bedroom ,seems to be working...have had my slider open all day with the screen closed enjoying the sunshine and lovely weather.. i just made up the bed and Alfie has decided he had his dinner already to get up there and relax.
    I watched some cookong shows this morning but have turned the T V off.
    Going to look online for a super simple crocheted baby blanket I can work on..

    Carol, love your new hair-do!

    I forgot to eat breakfast this morning before church. Made tuna salad for lunch. Decided to have a naked smoothie at 4 for snack since I didn’t have breakfast. It was way too much trouble as the blender cup lid wouldn’t screw on right. More than likely my fault for overfilling it. I used too much ice because I was hoping for Wendy’s Frosty consistency.

    Tomorrow is spend the day with Daddy day so maybe Mama can nap. He is a pill, and she is exhausted.

    Did Yoga for Weight Loss DVD then went for my walk. The plan for tomorrow is to do a body pump DVD

    Julie – everything I’ve read on the Internet says that skin tags can be frozen off. The next time I go to see him, I’ll mention this. Of course, it probably won’t be until next year. I don’t plan to have to go see him before then :)

    katla – I’m sorry about your BIL, but glad that he lived a good, full life

    Went to Lowe’s Hardware and got 2 more penguin blowmolds, a blowmold of a Christmas tree, and then two of what we thought would be nutcrackers but were toy soldiers. Actually, we think we’ll keep them since some of the ones we have are the real skinny ones. We’ll probably sell those locally if we can.

    Now to go out and cut the lawn.

    Debbie – happy anniversary! Have fun at your reunion

    Carol – beautiful, as always

    Cut the grass and it started raining almost as I was done. Not hard and didn’t last long. But I did get my steps in in case I can’t go for my evening walk. But I think I will be able to Update: was able to then played mahjongg on the porch.

    Nope. They like to stay between 70 & 80F. So that won't work. :| -Karen

    Carol … you look wonderful!

    Rebecca … cabbage the culprit this time?

    Liz … interesting post on gut biome. Thank you.

    Quiet day. I’m not eating well. Too many carbs and not enough vegetables/fiber. My digestive system is not happy.,Changing that tomorrow. Working on my recipe collection and purging those recipes I’ll never make again. Something to do while sitting. Lots of reading. And, yep, husband ended up shrinking an entire load of my shirts. Sigh.

    Thanks Tracey, even though we have no yard to speak of, just the trees bordering the path between our back yard and the neighbors back yard, its relaxing. The deer like my yard.👍

    Rebecca – Enjoy your African Violets. Karen is correct. They like comfortable room temperature and indirect light. :smiley: Re food - I’ve never enjoyed cooked cabbage but I occasionally enjoy broccoli. Your tomato sandwich sounds yummy. :star:

    Carole - You look great! I like your hair color. :flowerforyou:

    Michele – Thanks for your kind words regarding my brother in law. He was a good man who worked hard & led a long life. :heart:


    Regarding deer—We live in the middle of town at the edge of the Columbia River. I saw a doe with three yearlings going through my yard the other day. Our tomato plant was on the deck and safe from them. Last year they ate my green beans and there were none for us. This year I didn’t plant beans.

    Had a lovely 5k run this morning. I played my Running Playlist for the first time in ages and, because I was grinning and singing along, I got lots of smiles and hellos. :p
    I met a couple who used to come to our Swing Dance group. They had both had covid recently and the husband had been in hospital with pneumonia. Very poorly. He is still only walking for exercise. Both double vaxxed.
    Bought a lemon and some extra tomatoes to make a new recipe I read in today's Guardian. I've boiled the lemon and will make it the dish this afternoon to add to tomorrow's feast. :D
    Cleaner this afternoon.
    Will wash my hair and lay the table tonight. Then I won't be rushing tomorrow. We have got to take the lateral flow tests first thing to protect my friend with lung cancer.

    My friend G's apartment sale has fallen through. She is very upset. It's weeks into the process. :'(

    Love to all, Heather UK xxxxxx
