Actually grandmallie, Dunkins is everywhere! Has been for several years. Good luck on her new job! We love having Dunkins in MN although most of us will never go anywhere other than Caribou which is a home grown, MN company and only has a couple store thrown about in the most odd places in the rest of the US.
WOAH Heather, your cauliflower cake looks AMAZING!
Welcome back Cheryl!
Gorgeous pix Rita. Hope the ice didn't wreak too much havoc down there. That is unusual.
Had a very CREATIVE weekend. Made a lot of cards and got a bunch of my paper sample pages done. I'm a hobby demo for Stampin' UP which basically means I feed my habit. LOL. But I've been so out of sorts lately that I haven't been creating, so this was lovely. Grands are coming tonight for a couple days because school's out for quarter break, then home for one day and back for two more so Mom can travel to Vegas for her annual softball tournament. They took first place last year, so they're very excited to go back and defend!!! We have to drive the kiddos into school and back for those two days, but Freddy's retired so he can have that joy. It's really not that far or we would have kept them out and done DL for a couple days.
Don't know exactly who or what I've missed, Katla , Pip, Macha, etc... but love you all.

Bea wore the T shirt I bought her for her party.
I love the way Max and Edie are looking very superior in this photo. Far too old for this nonsense!
Ship still hasn't left port.
Love Heather UK xxxxxx

Thanks for all the welcome backs. As usual you gals are as talkative as ever. Don't think I can get through all the posts. Which is funny because I used to read them all at work and now that I'm retired, you'd think I had more time to read not less. I read that someone loves to ride. If you're near northern Chicago suburbs I'll be happy to bring you.
Here is a picture of my newest addition to my family. I seem to remember Barbiecat had two standard poodles. I still have mine but he's 12 now. I got this guy to spend some time getting to know him. He's a Golden Mountain Doodle. .125 Golden Retriever, ..375 poodle. His name is Eddie Van Howlen. He is 16 weeks old and already 40 pounds. My husband and I figure it's the last time we'll do the puppy thing. But he's been awesome. Completely house broke by 11 weeks. Now if I could only get him to sleep past 6 in the morning.

Did a half hour pilates DVD today. The plan for tomorrow is to do a Biggest Loser Calorie Killer DVD
The guys went to Waffle House this morning (one of their traditions) while I started to clean. Took down two of the valances so I can wash them. I’ll take down the one in the room Steve is staying in tomorrow
Is it cold here today! For Florida! I put on a heavy sweatshirt to go get the newspaper, but I now have on a short sleeved shirt and pants. This is one of the shirts I bought the other day. I’m not real crazy about it, but the store had 50% off. For $1.50 if I find I really don’t like it, I can just redonate it
Lisa – so happy for you and your daughter. Walk sounds fantastic!
Working on a loom knit baby hat. Hope I have enough wool.

Wessecg — I love the photo of your charming dog, a terrific combination of black curly coat and sweet face. You are likely to see our sweet old Keeshond as my photo. Schooner passed away last fall from cancer. We’re hoping to get a new medium sized poodle later this summer. Puppies are not born yet. We like the gray mom. 🐩1

That fur looks so soft and luscious!

We had a zoom call from our daughter. It was a huge help in minimizing worries. She’s good at cheering us up.
DH has an appointment with his doctor on Tuesday morning. We will see how it goes.
One day at a time for now.

Eldest son and I video chatted yesterday for 1 hour, 17 minutes.💖👍. He gave us a tour of his new place, gosh I love that kid! In three days he has bedroom, living room, garage, and bathroom all organized, and has one scooter already passed DMV inspection. He has learned from us. The moving company will come pick up the packing material, and boxes. He still has official moving leave he hasn't taken yet! Lol! He said he'll start that on Friday. It was a great time.
Today we started watching a new sumo wrestling tournament (sadly without son) its not the same, but we yelled and carried on for our favorites.💖
Made some taco meat with onions, and Kraft mac & cheese using the cavatappi noodles instead of the ones in the package. It was delightful l
Hugs ladies!

DH does not like trains much. Or aeroplanes. I'm sure we can think of something. I'm looking forward to Iceland right now.
Love to all, Heather UK xxxxxxxx
That makes for an interesting question ...
What is your idea of a break or great holiday?
Mine would be this:
- quiet cabin in rural or semi-rural location
- comfy beds, fireplace, porch with chairs for sitting outside and relaxing
- great roads for cycling - sealed, quiet, relatively flat
- a good hike or two nearby
- a stack of books and my cameras
- a nearby town with a good restaurant/pub or two (for meals, not for alcohol)
- a nearby tourist attraction or two for rest days or those days with less-than-ideal weather ... maybe a cruise around a lake, a trip on an old train, a wildlife park, a museum or gallery, or a collection of interesting shops.
Machka in Oz
Funny ... this popped up in my FB Memories today. If it's got the stuff I mentioned above ... or even without the restaurants and tourist attractions, I'd do it!!

Carla - I just bought another Big Shot. I had sold mine a few years ago, but have decided I miss making cards.
Cheryl - love your dogs name. He’s a cutie.
I have worked on a stocking most of the day. I think I have another old hobby going to come back this summer, I may do plastic canvas Barbie furniture for our Granddaughter for Christmas.
I have so much I want to do!

DH will be going to his doctor on Tuesday. I know DH has health challenges and we need to listen and discuss how to make his life better and easier. I hope he will be able to live at home and avoid hospitals.

Accountability:Chose well: Joe, readings, BP, CI<CO, CI<250<CO.
Bonus: one load laundry, 61 mins burn pile, Just one thing: bupkes
Workin’ on it: 143.1, H20x4, active
Mindful March
14: Find ways to enjoy any chores or tasks that you do. How war refugees would love to “have” to clean house or wash clothes.
‘nother low step count day, CI<CO saved by hours of laundry and burn pile.
Lisa thought of Levi when Shadow and Tumble both demanded “Stick!” from Joe. Wanted to snap a pic but every time I pulled out the phone, they thought I was pulling out a treat and forgot their sticks to come running.
Heather just looking at that cake makes every filling in my mouth sing!
Cheryl gotta love that Eddie van Howlen
Katla glad to hear your adult children and DH’s sister are in the loop. You need all the support you can get. Prayers and ((hugs)).
Machka and Tracey, We’re blessed to live in a little cabin in the forested hills above the sea. Get to read and enjoy the silence of our remote haven, while relishing all the mod cons. If I could take a “break” from this idyllic existence, it would be to travel and dine out again. Hoping to do both in September, to the dog show with C.
Enough with using disrupted morning routines as an excuse. Tomorrow focus focus focus on getting readings and activity in before shower and Dr. appointment. If needs must, Tumble and Shadow can skip play training for a day.
Later, Lighter, lovelies!
Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD
2022: Be still and listen.
