Kim--I have never heard of them taking your blood pressure with your arm in the air. I would talk to your doctor when you see him. My doctor always takes mine sitting in a chair with feet on the floor and arm on desk. We have one of the wrist ones and it works well and didn't cost a lot.
Rita--Prayers and hugs for you, DD and DS. It is hard when are children are not well and we are far away. And when they are adults and do not always listen to us.
Allie--Saw the pictures of your grand babies and they are cute. Thanks for sharing.
Kelly--Your grandchildren are really growing. Pray they do make the move and you get more grandma time. Thanks for posting the pictures for Allie.
Pip--Love the new floors
.
Heather--Glad you will get time with the grandchildren this week.
Ginny--Table looks very nice, glad you are feeling better
.
Katla--Sorry to hear of the delay in meeting with the puppy breeder, hope you can reschedule soon.
It was a nice weekend, went by so fast. On Saturday we went with DD and her husband to a gun show. DH bought me a pearl handle derringer. I have wanted one for years as my dad had one. So then we all went to the shooting range and I did pretty good once I got the feel of it.
Only working half day today as have a funeral this afternoon. Another friend lost her husband. He had been in a home the last couple years with alzheimer's.. Won't make the gym today unless we stop when we come back into town. See how late it is.
Yesterday DH bought a new recliner and it is not going to work for him. So when we get done today he will return it.
Blessings, Vicki GRAND ISLAND, NE Where we are back to high 50's this week. 7 -

Made a hair appointment for a trim on Friday late afternoon. That will see me through the cruise. Early next week I will do the roots and ditto.
Watched about 5 hours of a German TV true crime story yesterday.
Pretty good. When I started it I could hardly make out what they were saying (it was subtitled) , but, by the end, I could make out much more of the dialogue. The ear tunes in. My German is still way behind my French and even my Spanish. One thing I want to do before too long is take a trip to Germany to practice the language. My last few visits were very basic, language wise. I have always wanted to visit Dresden.
On the cruise we are going to Spain, which will be fun for my Spanish, and Italy. I mix up Italian and Spanish in speaking, but I can understand a bit of Italian if they speak slowly. I think Google Translate will be much used.

We had scheduled an appointment to meet Poodle mama, but DH changed the day to Tuesday so that I wouldn’t have to miss my Yoga class today. I am delighted that he made the day change. It was a sweet thought. ❤️. I’ll enjoy yoga today and give DH an extra (((HUG))).

We're still working on our condo remodel! We had decided to paint our bathroom a different color than the living room and bedroom. My husband picked up a can of bathroom wall paint and another can of the paint that we painted our doors with. As he was painting the bathroom I thought that I liked the color but it didn't seem as dark as I thought it would be. He put up the new light fixture and towel rack as well as the switch plates and started on the wood trim. Then we decided to put the door on. It was at that point I said I don't think that you painted the walls the right color! The walls are the same color as the door! He said no the wall paint is just wet. Well, actually it was the wrong paint! He accidentally opened up the new can of paint for the doors! I'm thinking of just leaving it because it actually looks nice. He wants to repaint it! It would be a lot of work because he would have to take everything off of the walls again!! Stay tuned for further development...
Have a great day everyone!
💞 Mary from Arizona/ Minnesota6 -
Mary - It’s very fashionable to have your walls the same colour as the woodwork!

Did Leslie Sansone’s 5 Day Walk Plan. Work and then bowling then at night ceramics tomorrow
After exercise went to WalMart since Vince needed bananas. I actually found 3 boxes of unsalted crackers!!!!!! You can bet I bought all three!!! Also, on the bottom shelf, I found a box of K-cup teas. I’ll take half the box to ceramics tomorrow and the other half to the Green Room when I go there next. Made a giant chocolate chip cookie (just bought pre-made cookie dough at WM) for Vince mainly because I have a bit of icing that I want to use up. Then fried the salmon cakes and put them in the freezer. Thank god for the freezer!
pip – that floor looks GREAT
Weight: the Wii says I lost weight and the scale says I gained. Go figure!
M – what is “hot desking”
Annie DE – those peppermint patties aren’t so bad calorie-wise. I’m thinking of getting some to keep in the freezer for when that “candy” urge hits
Lisa – Vince’s way of shopping is to go in the store, get what you want, leave. Me? I have to look at everything.
Ginny – I do think I’ll order one of those collapsible popcorn bowls for the condo. They aren’t that expensive. Plus …. they collapse so they take up much less room. Oh, do your handles get hot? What brand do you have? Nice table. Is it an Ikea? It looks a lot like ours, and ours is an Ikea.
Katla – one of the things I can’t have is black tea. Makes me nauseous. Yet, I like every other kind of tea
Kim – what a find!!!
Rebecca – that tree took my breath away
Lisa – congrats to your son and I’m crying for your daughter. She is so lucky to have you in her corner.

I have it wrapped in our quilted tree skirt, and I love unwrapping each and every year. There's some earrings that were my maternal going to church earrings, I have my Dads yen coin from WWII and my yen coin when we were there, my mom's shell pendant, my confirmation necklace, my paternal grandmother's necklace pendant, a locket from my middle son, an ankle bracelet from youngest son, and so much more. Its really special.💖👍

Husband made a nice beer bread yesterday with a red ale we found at Safeway. Then had chili last night. Yummy. We sat and watched "Matt Helm", a Dean Martin funny movie. Eldest son had a friend over, a guy he used to be room mates with. The guy gifted him with a Hot wheels car that looked like his Japanese truck. You know, the truck that's been overhauled for 6 years now by a mechanic that was way over his head in agreeing to work on it? 🙄 So he posted a pic of the toy on his Facebook page with the caption, "I have my Dihatsu truck back finally"!! Hopefully the mechanic will get the hint. The fact of the matter is the mechanic has had it longer than son had it.😳😔

Kind of an ugly Monday. The fiber optic guys were supposed to come this morning to install new internet. Three different techs came and left because the trench that needs to be dug is not and of course the cable is not laid. The alarm on our septic system went off and they want $350 just to come check it out. That does not include any repairs. Called to get hay delivered and they are 2 weeks behind. Lucky we have hay to last until March 1 and I called early.
Good news, I called my financial advisor to take some money out of my IRA to help with expenses and he told me it made 13% over the last year. I am sure thankful for that.
Katla - sorry meeting with the breeder and puppy mom had to be put off. Glad you will see them tomorrow.
Mary - if you like the bathroom the way it is I would not paint it again.
Everyone take care, Sue in WA9 -

Sue — DH changed the appointment for meeting Mama Poodle so that I could go to yoga this morning. I thought it was well intended, so I went. Luckily for me, I went. Two longtime yoga friends we haven’t seen in several years came to our class this morning. It was a wonderful surprise. I hope to meet mama poodle in a day or two.

Michelle NC Brand on Amazon is EcoPeaceful Microwave Popcorn Maker Silicone Collapsible Bowl Popcorn Popper. Mine is red. Says it is 100% pure silicone, vegan, etc. You can toss it into the dishwasher. Uses regular old popcorn kernels. Got table off of Wayfair.
Mary-I enjoyed the paint mix-up story. My husband would do such things.
Not much new. Trying to figure out what my routine will be with gym closed. Got to work at 7:30 so took full hour lunch-got a 30 minute walk in in one of our large conference rooms. Came home, walked outside for another 30. Had to walk on street due to sidewalks not shoveled consistently. Felt good to be out after staying in for several days due to weather. Did a couple of exercise with medicine ball when I got home. Will keep working toward a schedule.
Off to pack lunch for tomorrow. I can get out the door quicker if I have most of it packed tonight.
Take care all,
Ginny in Ohio

Pip your floors are beautiful.
When we go shopping, I have a list and could be done in a half hour. DH likes to go down every aisle and look at everything. Oh well, we’ve been married 61 years so guess it works.
We are through with the snow and ice storm but there is still snow and ice in our shady spots.
Suppose to play golf tomorrow so I hope it isn’t too muddy.
My laptop is popping. Weird. Better quit.

Shopping - Rodger and I haven’t shopped in anything but a hardware store together in probably 33 years. I have no idea how he shops and I’m sure he has no idea how I shop.
We do enjoy the hardware stores and flea market type places together though.
Boredom- Machka, I often say I’m bored. Not because I don’t have a ton of things I could be doing just that I don’t have anything I want to do.
Rebecca - did you make the Christmas tree out of jewelry yourself? I have jewelry and velvet ready to do one of these for each of my girls but I keep being intimidated. It’s one of those things I could do but choose to be bored instead. 😂
We celebrated our daughters birthdays on Saturday with a meal and a fire at our youngest’s house. We brought the grands back with us for a sleepover. It was nice to have them, first time since September we’ve had both at once I think and first since November we’ve had either of them.
It’s been a miserable few weeks at work, but I am hopeful the worse is passing now. I need a break and am thinking of taking some time off.
My Mom’s nursing home is on Outbteak, currently 17 cases of Covid. So far, Mom isn’t one of them. She is fully vaccinated so I would think it would be a mild case for her if she does get it. She is relatively healthy for being in a home. She has Alzheimer’s but only physical ailment is diabetes.
Off to have a bath, I’ve been reading along daily just not commenting.

Worked then bowling then ceramics. Tomorrow work and then ceramics at night
Barbara – yes, the collapsible bowl is for regular popcorn. Nothing special
M – I don’t know if I would like hot desking or not. I like knowing that there’s scotch tape, etc. and where it is.
Picked up this bear knick-knack for a friend of mine. I’d told her I would make it for her before the pandemic. Now we really don’t have a lot of time at ceramics. I’ll post a picture tomorrow
Sue WA – you have an alarm on your septic? I never heard of that. What causes it to go off? I’m thinking different things. Like what?
Ginny – do the handles of your popcorn maker get hot? I’ve been reading the reviews and looking at the questions on Amazon, but no one seems to address the handles. Why is your gym closed? I like to have my breakfast ready to eat in the morning, my clothes laid out, my pocketbook in the trunk. This way I feel I can leave faster for work, get it over with and maybe get home earlier.
Speaking of getting home earlier – I’m hoping I can tomorrow. We’re going to drop off some empty litter containers for this one gal (I know she was using them but recently I found out that she sells them for $1 each. Not a big deal. But her father was a neurosurgeon and when he passed away he left her a SIZABLE inheritance. I understand from another gal that she went shopping and spent $10,000 on designer clothing.) and four boxes of lights for the Salvation Army along with a few VHS storage cases.
Allie – kids have no concept of some things.

Yippee, I mailed all the documents and data to the accountant so she can prepare our tax return. 5

My mom and I made it many years before my sons were born. We collected jewelry from both sets of grandmas, my moms and over the years I have added more. It was easy building it. Just a thin sheet of wood, then figure out the holes for the lights, (kind of outlines the shape of the tree). Put glue on wood and place fabric over, and wrk the fabric thru the holes a bit. Paint a fancy frame gold. My mom glued the string of lights in. Don't do that! It was a bugger getting them out, after they stopped working. I have a small string, and I put a black (shield) of paper around each bulb so the bulbs would stand out ok. Then just taped the loopy parts of the strand down on the backside. The jewelry was situated around the lights. Cut off the back bits of all the earrings, and the ends of necklaces. We just used shiny strands like garland. The earrings matched on each side so its pleasing to the eye. This was done before hot glue was a thing, so lots of holding and reglueing! Have fun!

Received a call from our tax lady that they got our documents. We chatted about Warrenton, some flooding that's been going on, and the fact that we have left a bit of our heart on the Oregon coast.💖
