Worked then came home and made manicotti to have when Steve is here. I try to have some sort of casserole the day he gets here because you never know the time. Not going to log today but will be careful of what I eat
I don’t ever recall having a toddler bed for any of the kids. Then again, the crib had a door so if they wanted to get out, they could. I seem to recall they went directly from the crib to a regular bed.
Called Denise and left a message (again) to give us a call. I’d like to ask her if she’ll come down this holiday season since we couldn’t go up there in September (Pete had covid). She’ll say “no”, I’m sure of it But at least I asked
Pip – you may be retired, but before you retired, where did you find the time to work?
Tracey – how I know the smell sticks. Seriously, we should invest in fabric softener. So many times I wash the shirt (almost every day) and use fabric softener just to get that smell out
barbara – even the word “livermush” sounds gross
katla – when Vince had knee surgery, the next day the PT had him out of bed and walking. He screamed in agony. Her answer???? Close the door
celticcapergirl – welcome! This is as good as place as any to post an introduction.
Allie (grandmallie) – I don’t remember how long I’ve been here, either. Really, this is the only forum I’m on
Woo hoo...I just got to my 7 day streak!!!
Anne DE – hate to say it, will your parents remember the next time that they want you to help out at the eye MD? Did they give Teddy pain med?
Went to Newcomer bowling tonight. We had a few ball return problems so when I went to give the girl at the desk the envelopes for our team Vince wanted me to tell her emphatically how there was a major problem. To be honest, I didn’t say a word to them. Really….the gal behind the desk couldn’t do anything about it. But when Vince asked me if I told her, I just said “yes”. It’s not worth getting into about it. I know the gal can’t do anything so why get worked up about it?

Most cribs nowadays have a way to build the crib into a youth bed. The crib I had my eldest was a crib with drawers on the end of the crib frame. If you pulled those off you could put a little mattress where the drawers were and it was a youth bed with the drawers becoming a night table. The sides of the crib came off. There were two large drawers at the base of the crib/youth bed. I think I had it for all three sons.👍

Just doing my roots.
Soon to be a natural blonde again.
Note to self : when your legs are really aching in the night, don't just lie there, tossing and turning, get up and rub on some Voltarol.
I eventually did, but I had already lost a couple of hours of sleep. Drifted off after that.
Funny story about Tuesday. Edie came back from her music lesson wanting to share with us a Spanish song she was learning. Because she goes to a bilingual school, her Spanish has an impeccable Spanish accent. She kept on asking Alexa to play it for us. Alexa was clearly confused. You can imagine the shouting and frustration as Alexa kept saying she couldn't find it, or playing the wrong song. Max said it was the definition of insanity to keep doing the same thing while expecting a different result.
DH and I found it for her on our phones, but Alexa was still stumped by Edie's accent.
Eventually, Alexa gave up and said "Do you want me to speak to you in English and Spanish? " :laugh:
Then I said, in my best Queen's English, "Alexa, play Volar by Alvero Soler"
She found it straight away!
(If you speak Spanish, you will know that v and b are the same sound and Edie has a very thick accent.)
What fun!

Good news in Paris!
Paris goes all-in on bikes
https://www.bicyclenetwork.com.au/newsroom/2021/11/04/paris-goes-all-in-on-bikes/
The city of love, the city of light, the city of bikes? Paris recently announced a 250 million euro infrastructure plan that aims to make Paris "a 100% cycling city" by 2026.
Under the Bike Plan, central to the campaign of mayor of Paris Anne Hidalgo, an additional 180 kilometres of bike paths will be added to Paris' existing 1,000+ kilometres, as well as tens of thousands of new bike parking facilities and a self-repair shop in each of the city's 20 arrondissements.
I've enjoyed cycling in Paris in the past (the photos below are from our 2007 trip) ... and it sounds like it will be even more attractive going into the future! One day I hope to get back there again.
And me in Lille back in the day (2007)
Good memories.

Hello to all of the new ladies joining us!
My name is Kelly; but I go by KJ. I will be 55, this month. I am 5'8 and have more than 100 lbs to lose. I work full time at home (in West Michigan) as a childcare provider. Married 32 years. Three grown children, son age 34, daughter age 32, and son age 28. My daughter married, moved to Texas, and has gifted me with two (soon to be three) grandsons. I enjoy hiking, swimming, reading. I have been a part of this group for a little more than five years. They helped me get through the grief of losing my sister and my mother in law. They help me keep my head on straight about life choices that go far beyond health and fitness. A wonderful group of ladies who cover the entire realm of topics to be discussed. We do ask that politics and religion be discussed on another board, not on this one, as they are personal and divisive topics. All said, these ladies know more about my day to day life than most people that I see, in person, on a regular basis. I would gladly welcome any of them into my home if they ever travel my way!
A couple of photos taken from my walks this week:

Macka, Kelly & Pip thanks for sharing your pictures. It is nice to actually see what you are doing I feel like I am actually a part of your experiences
Today we're busy working on our floor project. The prep work actually takes more time than the treatment. They had so much glue on the cement that my husband is still working at getting that off. Then it will be my turn to do the acid stain treatment. That's more like an art project! Tonight we are meeting with our friends from the resort we used to stay at. We will be going out to supper then over to their place for the evening. Last night I picked up a little antique dresser and mirror that I plan to repurpose for the bathroom vanity. Can't wait to see how that will turn out!
I hope everyone has a fantastic day!Mary from Arizona/ Minnesota

Allie – I enjoyed knitting the baby blanket for our unborn grandson. I hope you enjoy your project as much as I enjoyed mine.
I had to redo a couple of times due to yarn issues. I got it done in the end and was happy with the finished blanket. So was our daughter in law.
Kelly – Lovely photos!!!
My second physical therapy day will be November 11 & I hope for a good outcome for my damaged knee. I am beginning to look forward to our trip to Virginia. If all goes as planned, we will fly there on November 19th. Keeping my fingers crossed for a good trip.
