I've thought about going to work down there ... they send people down for 3-month terms in the summer each year. A friend of mine has gone down several times.
The ships winter here.

For those asking (Michele)...the track day is put on by Ford Performance. When you buy a specific vehicle...GT500, GT350, etc. You can attend a track day. You drive their car in the same model you purchased. I bought the extra insurance. I too have a lead foot! I do have to attend a class for half the day. I am super excited in spite of the forecast!
Long day today....it was warm and sunny, so customers were thinking about mowers. Busy! Men were grumpy butts all day. Went cabinet shopping with DH for his man cave. Burned brush pile. Helped take down old cabinets and build new ones. Tired!
There was so much else I wanted to comment on...
Love the pictures!
Great outdoor work everyone.
Healing thoughts continue!
Enjoy the rest of your weekend.

Rebecca - I think soup is fine for breakfast. I swear I like “breakfast” food better at supper than breakfast time. Mix it up and enjoy!
Katla - that’s a couple of unpleasant nights for DH. Hope whatever it is passes soon.
Michele - if only teenagers actually knew what the important things are and not just thinking they know it all.
Evelyn - I am not planning on selling mugs except I may make them as a set with an ornament to match. The markets are quite saturated with mugs and such right now. We’ll see how it goes. For now I’m just having fun and learning.
Had a great day at the shower. It’s the first gathering I’ve attended that wasn’t just my girls and very select people for 2 years. It felt very strange not to wear masks, there is also no restrictions on numbers for gatherings so it was all legal. I talked to one of Kaitlyn’s friends Mom who had gotten Covid. She is still struggling 3 months later. She said the exhaustion and brain fog is very difficult.
Michaela and I had to stop for a “fancy” dress on the way because hers were all in the laundry. We couldn’t decide so we bought two. They are six dollars at Walmart. The guest of honour chose the one for her to wear. Michaela and another little girl one the “find the pacifier” game and Michaela and I had guessed the correct number of baby socks in the jar, but chose to write down a different number. It snowed quite heavily at times on the way home, I don’t like driving in the snow at night in the country anymore.
Kaitlyn did a beautiful job with the decorations.

Tomorrow we will visit the puppies at 11 am. I am looking forward to seeing them. This breeder has standard poodles as well as medium sized poodles. We’re looking forward to seeing the puppies that will grow up to be medium sized. Keeping my fingers crossed for finding the right puppy.

6: Have a “no plans” day and see how that feels.
Aaugh after 3 days of heading in the right direction, bloompfed up more than 3 lbs this weekend. Let it go Barbara, focus on moving more and breathe.
Rats! Forgot to watch the online “executive sessions” training for the fire district yesterday. Hope they recorded it and I can watch later. Also rats, just heard this morning about a free ham radio class series, starting THIS AFTERNOON at 1pm. Do I want to commit my next two weekends and forego dog group? Haven’t I been interested in learning more about this for a long time? Dither dither. Chatted with Joe. He could not see why I wanted to do this or any value in it. Realized that yes it was something I really wanted to try. More routine and plan disruptions but time to seize the moment. First day’s training was brutal, focus is more on how to pass the licensing test than to understand the hows and whys. Their approach is you get the license so you can get the experience you need to really learn. Some truth. Funny, in the past I was more focused on getting the grade, but today I want to really understand how (whatever) works. Will try again and see how it goes. Next Saturday is problematic, due possible Medford overnight.
Ginny your DIY projects are impressive. Wow!
Machka thanks for the cupcakeCravingsmom correction for Amber. Glad to see she’s still around. Spiders in shower or hair [shudder] I’d still be stutter screaming jumping down dancing. Hope your landlords appreciate all the value you and your DH are putting into their property, even though it was also in your self interest
Lisa Bravissima for persisting despite those first four sewing machine breakdowns.
Kylia happy for your and DH’s Tuesday track plans for fun. Much needed break.
Carol likewise miss Trucker (Sharon’s) postings. She’s logging in but haven’t seen her post in awhile.
KJ
your thoughtful and helpful suggestions to Allie about Carmine. What a treasure you are!
Betsy feel your pain about the cost of some rx eyedrops. Joe’s cost that much until (high) deductible met one year, then the PartD company removed from their formulary entirely. We had to pay out of pocket until we could change rx insurance during the choosing window. ((hugs)) for such a sad anniversary.
Katla hope your DH is completely recovered in time for Sunday’s puppy visit.
Tracey your grandmother would surely be proud of your creativity. You are an artist.
Julie 11K steps? Well done!!!
Carla normal stuff can be exhausting, imho.
Rebecca your soups look so delicious how could you not want them at every meal?
Heather how good of you to listen to your friend L. A great gift.
Michele “…where there’s one, there’s more” true [shudder]
Evelyn congrats on your retirement. There is a wonderful campground at the mouth of the Columbia (Cape Disappointment). Some of the sites actually back up to the ocean beach.
Annie congrats on the taxes! You inspire me to get back to it… after the radio class
Alexandra nice spring preparations.
Whoops, Joe’s up, time for shift change
Lighter, lovelies!
Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD
2022: Be still and listen.

Brief check in as I start the day.
I wasn't in this group to know Joyce or Gloria but it sounds like I missed two really good ladies. I am glad someone updated us on Amber-she had been so active and then was gone-with he pandemic I had feared the worst.
Son and I made good progress yesterday, but didn't get as far as we thought we would. His new work schedule has him working nights so he didn't get here until 1. We worked for a solid 3 hours. Have bar down, most nails removed (I worry about trash guys getting stuck). I will take it out to the trash a bit each week (don't want to mess with load to the dump). We did get the treadmill in place. We will schedule a time to make the frame in the near future.
Off to grocery this am. Covid numbers much improved here (CDC says masks not required). Will probably wear at stores for a while, especially if they are crowded. I do appreciate it seems we have walked through the worst, but I will still have some caution.
Need to cut back rose bushes-didn't do that before winter and temps are warming up. Also realized I didn't send money to lawn company for week treating-might just have person who does my mowing handle it-wasn't impressed with treatment results the last two years.
Take care all,
Ginny in Ohio3 -
I too am sorry to hear about Joyce. Now her voice sings with those heaven.
Tracey love love love the decorations.
Now I trying to catch up with the holistic dog summit. Yesterday listened to a woman named Isla Fishburn who lives in the United Kingdom. She is a Shaman who is inspired by the Native Americas she chanted in Native Tongue a shaman ceremony that pierce straight to the soul. I am grateful to have heard her. The summits overlapped for a day so I am playing catch up.
From the other summit if you are looking for someone who give you practical methods to raise your energy level look up Donna Eden
on you tube. She exudes joy. I did purchase the first Summit because there was just too much information to digest in the time given.3 -
Did my dumbbells last night Yay! My exercise is going well but my eating is not. Too much candy and no vegetables. I can do better than this!
I'm still worried about Ukraine and my mother's health and where I am going to live after this deal with my parents ends. My wish was to live near my friend in Virginia, but I just heard she is saving to move to Florida. Oh well it would have been expensive anyway.
If I wait until I'm not worried to stop eating candy, it will never happen. I need different ways to comfort myself. Hmm.

Heather - There's a fair chance that having us in the same general area would probably cause a few disturbances in the space-time continuum.
Oh - and well done on the run, glad your twisted ankle is doing well enough to run. The drama-seekers are such emotional vampires, but it sounds like L needs you to be the voice of reason!
Tracey - Keep forgetting to mention how much I loved your mugs. Mug decorations like that are way beyond my crafting abilities!
Barbara - Love the crocus! Our daffodils have come up here, I'll have to see if I can get a picture.
Relatively serene Sunday in progress, but Egg is meowing the song of her angsty little heart because Corey won't get up and play with her. No idea what we will get up to today, and it may well be nothing at all. That's OK, we have time.
And speaking of time:Time, as usual, is swirling around me, and I seldom know what day it is or time it is. The last verse of this poem has haunted me the last few days, popping up at the oddest moments:
Only Atoms Live Forever
Ignorance is not just bliss, it’s everything—
until we know what we are, we don’t know
what we aren’t, what we can’t, what we haven’t.
Still, that almost remembered time of feeling there were
winners and something won, that it was us,
and we were real, that we had meaning.
And now we find we are more space than substance,
electrons whirling, never touching,
dancing into dust returned.
We spin through life, believing lies,
like words are real, or trust exists,
that love will last.
Deception, that, for what is real
is only atoms live forever—and we are
merely masks they wear for moments.
©Lisa C. Hannon, March 15, 2004
To lighten the mood somewhat, do you know why you can't trust atoms? Because they make up everything. (Geek joke.)
Ahh... time to actually accomplish getting my office straightened up in order to turn it back into a dining room. Maybe. Still thinking about it. But at least the office will be clean.
So, once more unto the breach, dear friends, once more. (King Henry in Shakespeare's Henry V)
Onward and upward, my chickens. (Lisa in whatever melodrama this has turned out to be)
Back to my serene Sunday. Hope yours is/was too.
Love y'all,
Lisa in AR

Did Jeanette Jenkins Core Stretch DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to do a Cathe Friedrich DVD
kylia – that’s good that you can only take certain vehicles out on the track at Charlotte. When we were there, people used their own vehicles and we swore that some of the vehicles were going to fall on their sides on some of the turns. If there’s a pace car, just hang back and then you can really rev it to get to the front.
Tracey – Michaela is so adorable!
Barbara – best of luck on the ham radio. My FIL was an operator. I still remember his call – W2STS.
I’ll go to Canaveral Seashore in a bit and get some shells to take home. I borrowed a neighbor’s pass. Otherwise it’s something like $15 to enter. For 15 minutes? I don’t think so.
I was thinking about IF. I just don’t know how I’d do it. I feel I should eat something in the morning before exercise. I don’t want to exercise on an empty stomach. But on the same hand, I feel I should have something to eat in the evening so I don’t get real hungry during the day or night. Even if I were to eat in the afternoon, I do feel I shouldn’t exercise on an empty stomach. What to do????

off to Canaveral seashore2 -

Good Sunday!
I slept in! 8 hours of sleep. yay! Now I need to get some stuffs done. Two more sleeps until trip. One work day!
Breakfast for dinner is our favorite. Fast, easy, little clean up. I prefer lunch dinner foods in the morning. Then again, I tend to eat my salad after dinner. 😉 And given the preference, dessert before dinner! 🤣
Have a day of the best choices you can make! Just make a choice so you aren't treading water.
❤
Kylia in sunny for now Ohio2 -

Tracey, those decorations are amazing! Michaela is precious!
Katla, have fun with the pups!
M! Love your "in my control" pic. Shared that on my FB feed to keep it in my mind.
Well, we had an interesting night last night. We were without power for about 2 1/2 hours ... no idea why. Heard a couple claps of thunder, some rain, we were listening to the scanner, nothing. Still don't know what happened. It was sorta fun, sitting alone in the dark, just chatting with each other. We can still get along, just us, talking, with nothing else to do after 41 years. Go figure.

Quiet day today. I don't write at the weekend, so I'm just polishing my Spanish ready for our trip.
I only lost half a pound this week, but I'm hoping that some of the other half pound is just water retention and a delayed BM .
I only have a week now to lose one and a half pounds. Extra dedication required.
Love Heather UK xxxxxx

For those in the UK, we have heard that Clive Myrie is now in Moldova. He was stuck in Kiev for quite some time.
Found out on Thursday that he is my difficult friend's daughter’s husband's mother's sister's husband. A very nice man who always comes to family occasions. The family were very worried about him.
Love Heather UK xxxxxx5
