    (((Allie))) — Take care of your own health as top priority. Kelly is a professional. Listen to her advice. Listen to Barbie’s advice, too. Set limitations that will keep you healthy & safe from exhaustion. ❤️ Talk to your doctor, too. Your good health comes first. 😘

    It's a beautiful cold sunny day and I'm just sitting here waiting for lunchtime. My life still revolves around food. And maybe exercise nowadays. So I guess that's progress.

    Katla good luck with the car cover!

    Having fun getting rid of stuff and making life simpler. I walk around the house daily and pick up about 5 things I dont need, then set on my kitchen table. When the table looks full, I take a photo and post on my free local virtual site, and someone comes and gets it.

    With it just being husband to fix for, I am noticing more days off. He jokes that he likes to cook, and soon there might be no need for a wife. He does say quickly, "you'd have to clean up though"! He's my raunchy sailor, thru and thru, but I know he loves me to pieces. He has a phobia about cleaning up messy pots. Normally he just puts water in them and sets them in the sink. That's as much as he'll do. If its a meal I am making I clean as I go, but not him! It is nice to only think of what I want to eat, to be honest. I have been making stews and soups pretty much since our shopping day last Friday!
    Have a nice day ladies!

    I clipped Teddy's little toenails and cut out a mat or two and brushed his back. There was one flea but it was slow enough that I caught it. I think the Frontline every three weeks is doing a fair job.

    He is so hairy, I'm ready for his big spring trim but the weather isn't ready yet. His head looks so tiny because I had to trim mats on his ears and his body is huge and shaggy. Pretty soon!

    Actually I ought to do my taxes first. But I'd rather not think about that yet.

    Car issues are getting a bit challenging. My VW has a glass inset in the roof. A pull under shade inside the ceiling needs to be replaced. It dripped on me while driving. The roof glass is in place for now. The fix will take a while because it is being ordered from Germany. No definite time to get it made and shipped to Oregon. The car works and runs fine but is very much brighter than I am used to.

    🤞🏻Here’s hoping for shipment of parts from Germany doesn’t take too long to get here.

    Did Gilad’s Quick Fit Body Sculpt DVD today. The plan for tomorrow is to do an Extreme Cardio DVD.

    Got here last night. Yea! After exercise today went to WalMart, bought gas, then to Aldi. Brought things home and went back to WalMart with Vince.

    Ordered new end tables for the bedroom and a bureau mainly so that they would match. I really want this condo to be “ours” and not so much “Vince’s mother’s”

    Allie – (((HUGS))) for Tracey. Everything will work out. I think Kelly had great advice for you. Five days/week IS a lot. You can’t afford to jeopardize YOUR health then you won’t be any good to anyone

    I tell you, about 10 seconds after we were here, Loki was already asking to go out onto the porch

    Made a meatloaf, some salmon cakes, pork chops, and brownies for us to have. Still have chicken I need to cook. Also made rice in the IP I brought down here and hard boiled eggs. Last time I was here there was an IP at this thrift store for $30. Don't ask me why I didn't buy it. But I called a friend and she bought it for me. So I have to get to her house to get it.

    Heather -so sorry for your bad luck

    Awww I love you all too
    I went up to Trudys for dinner..we had a nice time.. Trudy told me she is a platinum member with Hilton and there reservations are services are done remotely,this started before Covid.. so she told me to let Tracy know about that ,Tracy does have the experience with doing that kind of thing with scheduling.. so here is hoping..
    Im going with Tracy up to Hartford tomorrow so she can get bloodwork done and i can stay in the car with mr Miles..we have more than a month before she goes back to work so we shall see what happens in between..
    I'll pray about it.. today is the 22nd anniversary of my moms passing.. how i miss her..but I know her and dad are together and are keeping an eye out on the family

    Hi Gals,

    A few random thoughts…

    Allie – like most of us “Oldies” who have known you for years, I too have been concerned about the babysitting venture. Although if I read this right it would be 4 hours a day, 3 days a week so a total of 12 hours. My concern is creep – the oh can you watch him while I shop, or work overtime, or…. Can you just stay until time to pick up Carmine? Nothing you can do until it happens except for thinking out a plan for how to respond. Creep is harder to deal with after it starts than to deal with it the very first time.

    Katla – could you just pin a piece of fabric on to the headliner to cover the skylight, so it was not so bright?

    Heather - Ouch!!! take care of it!


    For about a month I have been trying to put 2-3 hours of work in my yard every day – we have had unseasonably warm weather, so I am trying to take advantage of it. And it is really showing, the yard is more cleaned up/trimmed then it ever is in February!

    Which is great as I have a couple of bigger projects I want to take on, and this may be the year. My on-going yard plan is to have the front yard be low water but full of plants/flowers. I have not watered in 5 years and in my climate there is no rain from May to October. I do have 6 pots that I do water, but that’s it. I have 4 inches of bark around every plant, and all the paths are flagstone.

    There are dozens of daffodils, snow drops, bluebells, iris, and California blue eyed grass – all bulbs. They die back in May-June and then the saliva’s have the yard to fill with color. Red/white hot lips, purple and white Mexican sage, orange and yellow lions mane, and in the center of it all is a plumbago that is sky blue!

    The back is grass, and veggie garden, with Peach, Lemon and pomegranate trees, Olallieberry and grape vines. I have started tomatoes, eggplant (aubergine) and peppers in the green house. I think I will put another round of peppers in as not as many came up as I had hoped. The seed is aging and not all are viable. In another month I’ll put in zucchini (1)(( courgettes)), acorn and butternut squash, snow peas (mangetout), carrots, chard, basil and a row of beets (beet root) I also want to try some lettuce or spinach, I have not had luck with those in the past, but I am hoping! I also saw my first asparagus of the season today


    Thinking of you all, and hoping for a happy healthy day

    All those veggies, I wanna be your neighbor!💖👍. Sounds very industrious, but that's just because I don't have a green thumb.

    Heather, oh no! Hope your injuries heal quickly! Let the kids play doctor, with you, but your medicine is your wonderful stinky cheeses, and stewed fruits.👍💖

    Sue - are they good apples?

    Barbara -I am a firm believer that age means nothing about knowing of you love someone. I know two couples, 1 going into their 40th anniversary, another been together 10 years now, that met in kindergarten and swore they would marry the other.
    I love your love story. We were married in ‘87 too.

    Rebecca - another great story.

    Machka - have you thought of applesauce. I don’t like it myself but I know many do.

    Allie - like the others I hope you don’t take too much on. If you are watching Miles will you be expected to drive Carmine back and forth, let Homer out. They ask a lot of you and don’t seem to take your health into consideration.

    Heather - looks like a great day with the Grands until the fall. Hope you heal fast.

    Katla - car problems are my pain this week too. Mine is brakes I think. It is parked right now.

    Michele - the NASCAR break didn’t seem long this year at all.

    Kim - the creep, I’ve never thought of that in quite that way before. It spoke to me.

    I started a project to stop myself from eating out of boredom. My BF has asked me for a stocking for Christmas, of course I can’t give her one without her husband, then I can’t do one for her and not my brother and his wife. I then thought, well I might as well do them for Rodger’s parents and sister. I have designed 4 this past weekend and have some of the felt on those tacked on. This weekend I’ll design 3 more. I should have my East coast presents complete except for my nephew and mother by Easter. I’ll thank myself for this come Fall.

    Work is still work, so stressful.

    Kim,

    The repair company left the roof glass in place on our car. They removed shade screening under the glass because it wasn’t doing what it should & has to be replaced. They are ordering parts from Germany to finish the repair. I don’t know how long this will take. We’ve been told it will be a minimum of 8 weeks.

    Meanwhile we are looking for a puppy. Our veterinarian’s staff gave us the name of a well regarded breeder of healthy poodle puppies. We hope to get a puppy after it is born and ready to come to us later this summer.

    Tracy - Gravensteins are very tart apples best used in cooking. I have used them in apple crisp and pie. They would probably make good applesauce or apple butter.

    Crocus are up and hyacinth are starting.

    Believe in your capacity for change, Sue in WA
