    Good morning to all, hope that everyone has a great week. We are going to get a little snow today, hopefully not enough to cause too much of an issue. It is just getting light now after time changed this weekend.

    🌧️🌧️🌧️☂️ my weather for the next week. Heavy rain fall warning in effect, fine by me, I don't gotta shovel it, but I may have to bail it LOLOLOLOL I have all the specs to build an ark but not gonna happen .. the building supplies are too costly and the carpenter fees are outta reach ! Might have to invest in a lil dingy ... I dislike getting wet, but I know we need the rain, our water resevoirs do need the accumulation, so I 'll just suck it up and go out and run between the rain drops !!
    Have a good day everyone eh !

    @LindieMaeP Gran always told me I wasn’t made of sugar so I wouldn’t melt in the rain. I’m not a fan either but we need it
    Please keep the snow the other side of the pond

    Good Evening Everyone!

    I volunteer to help the fair run and I also sell ice cream sandwiches for the homecraft board that I am part of.

    Today has been a busy day but at least there has been sun and not so cold. Exercise, chores, studying, and challenge work. Also played cards with Hubby, played a little Mario Galaxy and visited a couple of friends. Tomorrow is my rest, weigh and TOPS Day. A little nervous about the scale but it will be what it will be.

    LOLOLOL no snow here, just rain, and they say when it rains in Vancouver, it's snowing in Whistler so the mountains can have all the snow they want. I did get out in the "rain" and I did take my WindRiver Umbrella with me, I swear it weighs 20 lbs then add the rain !!! All good, home now and chillin with the cat, Amigo !!

    Just caught up on the chat here. Hi everyone! Who is doing Wordle? If you are Canadian do you play Canuckle too? It's crazy the interest in word games.

    This morning for breakfast I had Chunky Monkey Overnight Oats. It helps me start the day with a good food choice.

    @Lessennan what are some of your favorite places to walk/hike?

    @CSEGUIN2 what courses are you taking?

    @cormierannie Hi to you, your daughter and budgies.

    @lavalily How long have you lived in Hawaii?

    @bookieNJ Do you track calories all the time? Sometimes I take a break and it's hard to get back at it till the next challenge starts.

    @Dianedoessmiles1 I know what you mean about living in a tourist area. I live in the burbs but 5 minutes away we are at the ocean and out of towners. It's interesting to meet people from all over the world. I would love to do Karaoke with you. Maybe virtual? What fun!

    A reminder to mention the 5% challenge in your blogs or invite your friends. Here is the link

    @kaliswalker I’m a very lucky lady as far as walking goes. From my home I can walk down the next one to a park
    Turn left into the park and it’s a dose of countryside walking choices.
    Straight on and I have 20 minutes riverside walk then shoreline Leven to St. Andrews or Leven to the Forth Bridges.
    With the use of the car for start points I can do small chunks of the coast. My younger by 3 years brother and I walked Leven to Elie and back 12 miles round trip and discovered that without shorter build ups 12 miles is just too far.
    I’m in Fife Scotland
    I’m not doing too well on the tracking thing just now either
    I’m a Wordle fan

    Question.
    Kaliswaker asked where I prefer to walk and the short answer is anywhere away from traffic and business.
    I prefer to just take in the sounds of nature around me!
    If you walk, what’s your preference. Sounds of nature or sounds from your electronics.?

    Spring is blooming in South Vancouver where I live so I thought I would share some shots of what's blooming ... everyone wants to enjoy the "pink snow" from the japanese blossoms in due time, they are starting to come out !

    As you can see I prefer walking outside, however, with the rain we get in spring and fall it is not always possible - I do have a heavy umbrella but I usually only use that for walking to Safeway (10 blocks) and back. Today's walk was only 25 min...

LOL We'll text each other to show how quickly we (no has ever gotten it on line 1 or 2, but many of us do by line 3, rarely do any of us, though it does happen not solve it) we've solved it. SO MUCH Fun!! I was surprised I got yesterdays on line 3! (Tues) @Nipchkin YO on quodle! I am not sure I am up to that, but I know others who are! TY TY TY!!

    @kaliswalker - Thanks for the tip on Canuckle! I just searched for it and did my first one. Took me all 6 tries but I had to laugh when I got it and the comment came up "You lucky hoser"! 😂 My hubby and I have been doing Wordle too - he started then sent me the link. I do like word games and play a lot of Text Twist too.

    @Nipchin - I'll have to check out Quordle - thanks for the link.

    It's finally feeling like spring here in SCentral Ontario. It was absolutely beautiful when I left the retirement home after singing this afternoon with the finally shining (we had a lot of fog overnight and earlier today) If I hadn't been so tired from singing, conducting and announcing and being on my feet for over an hour, I might have gone for a stroll on the nearby lakeside trail. It was great to get back to singing but it does take a lot of energy when I'm waving my arms around too! If it's nice again tomorrow, I'll take my grandson (who's with us this week for his school break) out for a walk on the trail.

    Enjoy the rest of your day everyone!

    Good Evening Everyone!

    So yesterday was a crazy stressful day. But I had some good moments as well. Hopefully my Son's life insurance won't have any more issues.

    Today is my friends birthday and we were supposed to be celebrating but haven't heard anything from his wife. Oh well maybe she changed her mind. I didn't get to bed till after midnight. Got up at usual time and my brain was a little foggy so gave up studying and cuddled with hubby and slept for about an hour. Felt better but still tired all day. Didn't get much done today but that's ok.

    @retired_Sue,, Oh Sue, I KNOW you missed the singing so much!! Nice for you to have that back!! Awwww your GS would enjoy that walk if you are up to it tomorrow. I imagine the week is FLYING BY!! So sweet for your D and SIL to be able to vacation. NO DOUBT you are spoiling your GS!! I saw my GGS today,, LOL cute little thing he is!! Kids just have a way of making us smile.
    @Cseguin2 ,, WOOHOO on your S insurance, hopefully be taken care of!! Nice. Sure hope you get to sleep tonight!!

    @CSEGUIN2 Tomorrow I am having lunch with my disbanded TOPS group. What course are you taking?

    @LindieMaeP Did you go for dinner to the Cactus Club near the convention center?

    @majork29 I was born in Edmonton and still visit family there. How long have you lived in Edm?

    @cormierannie Hi to you, the budgies and your daughter. Dancing is great exercise.

    @Patti241Hi looking forward to getting to know you.

    The last couple of days have been quite social. After being so homebound the last couple of years it takes some getting used to. Last night we were out for dinner to celebrate my DD's birthday. Today we had lunch with the other DD. Haha not looking forward to my next weigh in.
