    Friday was most overindulgent CI in a long while. Of course, needle on scale inched down this morning. It will bloompf up again soon as I have a restrained day. :P

    Oh Debbie, how hurt you must be. Your DH, your nephews, the roommate but most of all your mom. Being invisible to the people you live with and care for is draining, exhausting, dispiriting. Praying you can find some other sort of sanctuary, we all need it.

    Ice Cream — We like Tillamook Frozen Custard. It is available in pints at our local Safeway Store, and we both love it. My favorite is raspberry custard. Tillamook also makes and sells regular ice cream in many flavors.

    😊

    I had a delightful phone call from a treasured friend, from Junior High to this very day. It was wonderful to hear from her.

    ❤️ ⭐️ ❤️ ⭐️ ❤️

    I love Tillamook ice cream too! Also am a fan of their thick farm style cut cheddar cheese, and their yogurt. I normally buy vanilla Greek farm style (its not non fat but I have learned the full fat tastes better).

    Love to all, Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Heather, sounds like you and John both had a wonderful day!

    I think your younger son very closely resembles your brother, by the way. Very same smile and eyes! It happens that way in my family too - my sister's son looks more like my brother (his uncle) than he does his parents!

    Welcome @atoina, didn’t see any inappropriate posts… ;)
    Viv ((hugs)) Mom falls are scary!
    Welcome @wahmx3 Shelley in PEI. Lots of motivation, wisdom and compassion on this thread, then there’s always pip’s boot :laugh:
    Allie have you tried “agricultural” vinegar on the weeds?
    Barbie “…simultaneously loving while distancing myself from his drama” Quite a balancing act!
    Rita the last two times I gave blood, my veins “rolled away” so far that by the time we were done, I was bruised from hither to yon. Gave it up.
    Michele wise way to handle Jerry.
    Annie: https://umpquadairy.com/our-products/frozen-yogurt/caramel-macadamia-crunch-frozen-yogurt/
    @teklawa1 Safe travels, Betsy! Keeping you and your sister in prayer.
    Mary what you said about not substituting for loved foods, but logging (and rigorous portion control). Good thing I love the caramel macadamia nut crunch lowfat frozen yogurt ;)
    Rebecca :love: your time-traveling chats with OS.
    Heather :love: you and your brother’s happy faces, and that Johnny had such a great day with his dd. Her post and their smiles said it all.

    There, caught up here.

    Lighter, lovelies!

    Cleaned out the spa some and then started stringing the popcorn only it started to rain. Lectored at the church, had dinner, then went to Kohl’s (they’re having less and less. It looks like they’re trying to be upscale) so I stopped at Shoe Carnival. I have this pair of Keds sandals that are SOOO comfortable only they don’t make them any more. I found something that was on sale from $40 to $15, but my first thought was “are those slippers”. Yet, things down in FL are much more relaxed so maybe they’ll do for down there. If not, I need new slippers anyway. Got things to make soup tomorrow and will make yogurt.

    Anne DE – ice cream substitute? I like applesauce frozen. Also, frozen grapes. I know, that’s not exactly what you asked for.

    Lisa – wow, what a transformation is all I can say. Looks beautiful

    Gonna pop some popcorn then watch some TV.

    Anyone know of a pet and human safe weed and moss killer my patio and surrounding area looks horrible

    Pull them out. :) That's my favourite method.

    Boiling water - boil a kettle, pour water for a cup of tea, then empty the kettle on the moss and weeds. That's my husband's favourite method.

    A salt and vinegar mix is supposed to work too.

    Summer is coming, along with ice cream cravings! What is your favorite ice cream substitute?

    I was reading reviews for So Delicious non-dairy light ice cream at 300 calories a pint. Gotta try that! My usual is Ben & Jerry's non-dairy Cherry Garcia at 320 calories a 2/3 cup serving. Excellent taste but not a weight loss staple.

    We get ice cream bars like these ... they're 95 calories per bar and it's easy to control the servings when they are individual.

    Betsy - safe travels, dear heart. We look forward to seeing you again in September!


    Today's adventure in the slowest remodeling job in the entire U.S.A. We pulled all the siding off the back of the house, and underneath was T1-11, mostly in good shape. For the uninitiated, finding T1-11 under siding is like finding a hardwood floor when you pull up the carpet. The interesting part is that most of the T1-11 was painted nearly the same color as the roof we had replaced last year. Serendipity that, because we had no idea what we'd find--all told, it took us about two and a half hours to rip off all the siding. Note, however, this is only the backside of the house. Two walls in the carport are siding, and all of the tall eaves around front and sides.

    The first picture was when we bought the house, July 2018. The second one is a month later after we'd tamed some of the jungle... and the last one is today. Tomorrow will be a trip to Lowes for lumber for trim, and paint that matches that slate blue.

    I've finally cooled down enough to get in the shower... and I need one! More than 90 degrees outside and both of us sweated buckets. Quiet evening planned.

    Later, y'all,
    Love,
    Lisa

    I like that slate blue colour!

    Machka - My Mom. Would say she was bored often so I didn’t have that as an example or motivation growing up.

    Based on those definitions, I am bored even when busy a lot of the time. 😂

    Rita - I am hoping to see my brother later this year. I haven’t been home since 2016.

    Barbie - I enjoy books but mostly in the evening before bed.

    Annie - congratulations on the loss!

    Debbie - my hubby says the same about Mothers Day but never has an issue about asking for something for Father’s Day.
    This year he didn’t even say Happy Mothers Day.

    I’m so sorry for all of the drama. I see so often that people that supposedly love an elder are actually abusing them financially and:or emotionally I hope that’s not the case with your Mom’s roommate.
    I think it’s terrible the way your husband and son treat you on a regular basis.

    Lisa - what a transformation, a lot of work.

    Heather - I’m glad you both had good days with family.

    If I was transported to the setting of the book I am reading I would be jumping into a forest fire as a Zulie in Missouri.

    I have been working on my stockings. I am trying to get Christmas presents made early this year since we have a new grandchild due around Christmas. I will be planning a shower and I want to go home to NB I’m the Fall.

    The only time I come close to being bored is when I am busy. Busy doing something that has me rolling my eyes and wishing I were doing something else.

    When I'm not doing anything ... like when I'm standing beside Rhody in the dark, just looking around ... I feel relieved. The madness has stopped for a moment.


    I don't ever recall my parents expressing that they were bored. Both are introverts and voracious readers, so we all spent a lot of evenings curled up in our corners quietly reading. Happy memories. :)

    Enjoying a Pet Summit on detoxing your pet. Today was on gut biome, vacinations, and dental health. Gave me much food for thought. One speaker in particular I liked because he talked about our food supply chain and our need to stop the war on weed with chemicals.

    Also helped at Nature Center today and got to go up in a Cherry picker to get a view of the center.

    I also feel blessed that there is a pond close to our home that Drew and I walked to that is full of frogs. So fun to hear them singing.

    Machka That is concerning! I hope the doctors get to the bottom of that quickly.
