@Cseguin2 ,,,, Oh it's hard when I bake and it doesn't come right. Neat on taking your bike to get more supplies! That's great exercise. I am so sorry hon your Mom is gone. No doubt she wanted you to continue on the many traditions you both did together. I think of my Mom on some of things I make too. I hadn't THOUGHT to share the recipes with my brothers (DUH!) until recently including some filled cookies my Grandmother made. LOL that happened on FB next thing I knew more relatives were coming out of the woodwork than if I had won the lottery!
@novembergail,, I ADORE LILACS so much!! Today a friend told me we are WELCOMED to come to their yard and TAKE ALL WE WANT when they come out!! I am so excited!! Hehehehe funny the things that excite us!!
I'm going to see if I can put a video of Izzy in here, if I can't,, I do the picture of the FOOL TODAY!!!

@Cormierannie , HI Annie hope you enjoyed the day!
@Macrat12,, HI Sarah!! Hope you enjoyed and were able to relax some.
@Patti241 ,,,, Were you able to get out for a walk today or do something you enjoyed? I did get out for a walk. Though my body was screaming nooooo, we started out to be "just outside." Next thing we knew we were down by the local nursing home. A woman who's more of an Aunt is in there. It's somewhat near Dunkin so as we walked by, I got her a small iced coffee. She was so HAPPY with that!! It was 25 mins down, normally 15, but I just couldn't go fast at all. Of course we walked back, ,,, WOOHOO 50 mins in!! I am hoping before bed to do some stretches so I sleep better.1 -
@Dianedoessmiles1 it's odd that you mention your kitty and paper, as Amigo loves paper too and pulls it out of recycling, and then shreds it to pieces - usually at night when the humans are sleeping. I looked it up and here's an interesting article about it:

WELL that's for anyone with a cat.
@NovemberGail LOVE LOVE LOVE lilacs - I am watching a couple of trees, but no buds yet, soon, it's been too cool a spring here and maybe too wet too, although today was an awesome day. I ment to mention, that if you are posting your pictures off your computer, you might want to try to size them before posting - I usually go to my picture, right click, then open and then in the program that opens, look for a series of dots, ... and then click on then choose resize and then choose the size I want which is usually the size for profile pictures. @Catwmncat taught me that, so I thank her very much ! I hope I explained it as well as she did to me !
How did everyone do for their first week ?
Yesterday my son went and bought a rotisierie chicken and took some and ate it but when I went to get some, I noticed it was not cooked, so I took my piece and put it in the micro for a couple of minutes. Later last night, he had food poisoning symptoms. This morning I went to slice up the chicken and sure enough the white meat was pink! So I took a picture and we through the chicken out, went back to the store were we bought it and the manager said he eats chicken like that all the time and my picture was not very good and that I should have brought the chicken back - well I said white meat should be white not PINK .. and it was not cooked. Gene got his money back but it was the manager's attitude that bothered him the most. We did buy another chicken and this one he cut open first - it was cooked properly. Then Gene reported the incident to Vancouver Coastal Health and will let them deal with the store manager. I told Gene to be more careful in the future and if it is pink again they WILL get it back. WE do not live close to this store, its a good 15 minute ride so we don't go often.
Well that was my excitement at home this weekend, hope you all had a good weekend eh !! May week 2 go well for you !3 -
I discovered Hershey Syrup Zero Sugar, 5 calories per tbsp. It's fantastic on strawberries as it really sticks to them.
Tomorrow we are going to WA for a couple of days. I HATE shopping but I also hate going naked, so I have to buy clothes. I have donated my clothes as I shrunk out of them, and I really need more clothes. Everything I have go with yoga pants or jeans, and I have few of those and very few tops.
Have a great week!3 -
Diane: I was able to get a walk in yesterday. It was too cold last night for an evening walk.3

@Lindiemaep ,,,, Awww TY TY TY TY I'm so glad that Izzy only chews it, and spits it right back out. She never swallows it. OH MAN about the chicken!! If Gene lived in the US,,,, which stands for US SUE lawyers would be pounding down his doors. I did get food poisoning from McDonalds, I told my Dr (who was treating me) but I'd not give the where (Did the when since I was so sick) I did not want to do that!! I am sure you understand that and why. I hope Gene is okay today? Or did have to see the Dr.?
@Kaliswalker ,,,Hopefully you'll like the styles you find and colors. Once those 2 parts are met in general we'll find things. Did you see this before? SOMEDAY I AM GOING TO DO THIS as I go for a Walk!!
@Patti241 ,,, Nice job!! Anything we do, we get to do. Today's it's sunny, mid 40's,,, tomorrow LOL Laughing since I live on the coast, because in the mountains and north they'll have SNOW! Of course we KNOW I ADORE SNOW SO MUCH, but it is mid April. We can still get some, but not every year from here on.
@Dlbeasyrider,,,, Awwwwww @Catwmncat,,,, she's so deserving of being in our SPOTLIGHT!!5 -
Good Evening Everyone!
Easter was great and busy. Today was another busy day doing 5 tax returns. It snowed today. Got some exercise in the morning. Tomorrow will be another busy day. TOPS in the morning and a meeting in the evening. Probably won't have time to check in.2 -
@Cseguin2 ,, Thought of you today when they mentioned "In Maine we had an extra day to get in our taxes since it's Patriots Day." Maine and Massachusetts are the only states that make it a holiday.
How much snow did you get? Hope you LOVED your Tuesday!!
LOL Izzy just jumped up ,,, I swear she said "GO TO BED!! I WANT MY TREATS!" LOL3 -
Diane: We just got rain here but in MD they got the snow especially in the mountains.1

Can't beat the weather today and the blooming trees. Have a good day everyone!

@kaliswalker -sounds good! I got my speed up to 5. Incline I don’t know? The machine kept adjusting that. If it felt too easy I increased the speed1

Good Evening Everyone!
Yesterday we got maybe a half inch of snow if we're lucky. Today we have had lake affect snow on and off but nothing sticking. Looking forward to nicer weather so I can get the bike out. Today was rest, weigh and TOPS Day 🔻.25 lb! YES I CAN! Granted after how much I ate at Easter I am giving all the credit to my hair cut🤣. We had a great meeting about inspirational quotes. The one I got says "Success is what comes after you stop making excuses!" Still have my meeting to go to tonight. But made time to check in.2 -
@Patti241 at the height of the storm 30,000 lost electricity. It poured out so HARD!! But, I love the sound. Like you inland and mountains got some snow, but I do not think they got a lot. Still it'll melt by tomorrow or Thurs.
@Novembergail ,, SO PRETTY!! Oh SO NICE!! i am sure at night you can see the STARS!! It's been YEARS since I've seen a night sky full of stars. LOL When we went camping we figured we would, RAIN!! When we went to the ocean a few weeks ago we figured we would,, RAIN again!!
@Bookienj,,, kids grow WAY TO FAST!! WAY TO FAST!! I hope your D gets in where she'd like to be. The true springboard into adulthood! Hope all goes well.
@Cseguin2 ,, LOVE that saying! TOTAL CONGRATS the scale is GOING DOWN FOR YOU!! WTG WTG WTG!! Hope your 2nd meeting went well and you are able to get out on the bike soon!! I have a cousin (a little older than I am and female) who's decided that WINTER BIKING is very well worth it!! She retired this year, but for a few years she biked over 4 miles to work (at the largest hospital in Maine) including the winter!! She did take the car if it was pouring way to hard or snowing high, or icy, otherwise it was bike even when LOL when it hit -10 F.2 -
Good morning everyone2

Windsday to day, how are you all doing? It's a sunny day here for a change, but it has been such a cool spring, not a good sign for the farmers, who need to get planting, although they could plant things that need this cool kind of weather, no idea what, I am not a gardener or farmer !!
Got caught in a sunrain last night while going to my meeting - I took some pictures. @Dianedoessmiles1 everything went well last night, including me in my part - and the CO visit has begun, no time now for other things, but so worth it !!
I was undercover by the time this hit, did not get too too wet !
I did get a couple of shots of the rain dancing in the sun, but of course the phone camera does not always see what your eyes see and experience!
And the tree to the right is looking so nice, love the sun shining through the branches, but the focus was really the rain pouring down !
Have a great WINDSDAY everyone !!

@Dianedoessmiles1 -thx! It’s getting accepted and then the financial part has to work too. We have time luckily.1

Good Evening Everyone!
Got lots of exercise today. Walks were small and not tracked. Step-ups not tracked as well. Got some dishes done and some laundry. COVID seems to be going through our TOPS group. I am a little nervous about possibly catching it but don't want it to control my life or live in fear. I will continue to do what I can to stay as safe as possible.2 -
@patti241 ,, HI Patti!! Was a pleasant day? This AM I slept some because last night I DID NOT SLEEP!! SO STRANGE!! But every now and then it happens. LOL POOR Izzy on those days!
@Lindiemaep ,, I got something so sweet from a friend in the mail!! I WONDER WHO? GRIN. TY TY TY I need to buy more international stamps. Last night I tied in on Zoom. When I stood up and though the world was going to fall down, it's a good thing to NOT drive!! Still I did get to enjoy it. CONGRATS on your part going well!! I had NO doubt it would. BUSY, but joyous week!!
LOVE the pictures though I am SURE IRL it was simply GORGEOUS!! One of those times one is so happy to be outside. Nice pics! TY TY TY!
@Bookienj,, it makes it easier when the child is motivated and knows what they want. When it was that time for my GD, I was encouraging her to do a trade school, since she HATED book work. In the end though it's worked out very well for her, she's working in a factory in a management position. She's able to handle thing money wise very well.
@Csequin2,,, Sometimes we really need an easier day, and most planes have landed or are very close to it. UGH Sure hope you are okay and do not get Covid. I'm masking again in the grocery stores etc. With the numbers in the Northeast really GOING UP UP UP it's the same thing for me to do. It's up to each person of course if they do or not. my health is bad enough. Breathing is affected, though it's not my heart, and so far the lungs look okay they say, but they may need to do more tests. I am not sure yet.
Had a nice day I am the President of the Council here, we had a monthly meeting today. WOOHOO it was short!! We had some laughs, which is always GREAT!! If you can keep a group who may not otherwise want to get along, to do so, that's a WIN/WIN!! Many buildings that are larger have the ones they like, and the ones they DO NOT Like. Of course that happens here to but we work on keeping it at bay. With cribbage I won (SKUNKED HIM) a game, barely lost 1,, the other one we had to end early so Sue won, though we are pretty sure if we'd been able to play it out,, that of not been the case. LOL but it's fun of playing I enjoy.2 -
Good morning everyone2

I love when Catawissa and Cricket wait at the door -- though they tell me not to take it personally 😏
@LindaMaeP: Love the sun-rain photos. 😻
@Dianedoessmiles1: Cribbage is going well! I'm waiting to hear that you brought home another trophy.
@Csequin2: Take care of your health! Spring time can be tough with the additional problem of pollen.
Have a wonderful Thirstday -- drink that water!!!

@CSEGUIN2 -Aw I hope you stay healthy. I am trying not to live in fear of catching it either
@Dianedoessmiles1 -oh that sounds great! I am happy she is in a good place in life!2 -

Good Evening Everyone!
Sleeping was rough last night. Woke up sick this morning. Sore throat, headache and stuffy nose. Feeling foggy. Rain in the morning but a beautiful afternoon. Wishing I could go for a walk but playing it safe and quarantined. Hoping I feel better sooner than later. Still got all my indoor workouts done. Just did them slower and with longer breaks inbetween. Made a deal with myself that I would do only what I could handle from each workout. Turned out to be all of it. Planning to go to bed early tonight to see if that helps too. I was supposed to make veggie stir-fry tonight but no energy for that so we are ordering who know what. Please stay safe and mask when possible.2 -
HI ALL!! I'll be back tomorrow. Such an unreal busy day. I was volunteering to help a neighbor who was moving ,, I had told myself 2 hours. I STAYED at 70 mins today. We had a concert where I live tonight. It was so much fun!! Than that neighbor wanted help setting up her TV,,, turned into more. I am so tired, and I know you all understand that. DO NOT WORRY I set a very firm boundary with her. She moved from the floor I am on, to the one above. Hehehehe I am so HAPPY!! She's a hoarder and not clean, so WOOHOO It'll smell so much nicer, I WANTED HER to move. LOL A METHOD TO MY MADDNESS!!3
-
Thanks for the comments on my rain/sun pictures - I love sunrain - one thing I missed about Ontario but not enough to move back LOL
@Dianedoessmiles1 I am glad you know your boundaries and are somewhat sticking to them. Very kind of you to move the stinky lady.
Wishing you all a very very happy Friday, almost the weekend eh !!
