Shelley - I heard the same on the news....so surprising. I suspect we will learn more shortly. I'm with you....I don't watch the news too often....gives me too much anxiety.
Kathy - enjoy the DR! One kf my favorite places! Can't wait to see pictures.
It has been really hot here. Too hot to exercise outside, I melted when I watered my flowers!

We did not have Ronan today. My trainer is not feeling well, so no workout w/her. I walked this afternoon. I did 5.78 miles in 114 mins. It was sunny, 80 degrees with a bit of a breeze on my way home. I used my umbrella for the first half of the walk, but the breeze was too much coming home. And even tho it was sunny, it was not that hot. Nice walk.
Chris0 -
We don't get Ronan today...sigh...we miss that little guy. I miss seeing Sara, too.
I don't know what I'm going to do today. Just might be lazy.
Have a great Thursday my friends.
Chris0 -
Karen the news is so bothersome for sure. More happy reports please. I still can't believe what is happening to Ukraine. Has anyone ever been there?
Chris I hope your trainer gets well soon. When will you see Ronan next?
I weeded after work. Not many actual weeds. Mostly dug up grape hyacinths. Darn things take over. I have dug up 3 bags of them so far this year. Wish I had never planted any. Also dug up some spiders wort. Could have sworn I got rid of it years ago!
Shelley0 -
We got Ronan today. Sara just picked him up. Pete is down until at least next Thursday. His test came back bright last night. The test he took Monday was really light. They thought he was at the end of it, but it was the beginning. EGADS!!!
I did 7.25 miles in 138 mins this morning. Beautiful and windy!!
Hoping to see my trainer Monday Unless her test at Kaiser comes back bright. We'll just have to wait and see.
Chris0 -
Chris bright as in positive? Sheesh, I am lost. Glad you were able to see Ronan today. Nice walk!
Today was busy. Unload truck and trailer, full of tree limbs. Weight work out with friend. Then dug up grape niacin the that are taking over my east garden. I have so far dug up 3 bags worth. Then worked on putt up the 3 trellis in the new garden. Drove up to the mountain and roasted hotdogs over an open flame. Sanara and her husband joined us. We seen hummingbirds and does. A couple turkeys.
Night all,

Update on garden and new statue
The one shows the old honeysuckle plant we removed today. Tomorrow I will help Rocky put up the mesh wire for the trellises. Then I can plant

That's so kewl, Shelley. Beautiful!
I don't know what color the covid test turns when your are negative or positive. My trainer took a home test and it was negative then a little while later she looked at it and it was light positive. She called Kaiser...they told her to come down...she did...her test at Kaiser came back negative. My SIL's first test was light positive...five days later it was bright/dark positive. He's down until at least this coming Thursday. EGADS!!!!!
I did 6.44 miles yesterday in 124 mins. Might not walk today...we have a soccer party to go to at noon.
Chris1 -
Chris so sorry about the positive test. He will be in my thoughts.
New garden mostly done. All planted. Now just waiting for everything to recover from any shock. Then put in some mulch. Rose bush showing no signs of shock. I added fertilizer and worm castings to the bottom of the hole. Will post an update in about a month. Put in border dahlias, pansies and some moss roses. And Rocky also added glads.
Then had dinner and took Libby for her bike ride. It was a great day. I am a bit sunburnt though.
Shelley0 -
High ladies! Took forever to get home yesterday. Got home at about 12:30 in the morning. I guess all of the road construction they put off during covid in Illinois, Michigan, Ohio, and Pennsylvania are all being done now. What a long drive it's so grateful to be home
Luckily did not have a 7 AM call so I took a 50 min walk here which I desperately need. Didn't got very much exercise at the conference. Had plenty to eat though
hope everybody has a great Monday!
Karen
PS One of the people at the workshop tested positive for covid. Hoping I don't get it I didn't mask up most of the time period but what are you gonna do? 1 -
Here’s a few photos. It’s been marvelous. Exactly what I needed.🍹 ☀️ 🏖
Kathy2 -
Beautiful pictures, Kathy. You look so in the right place. So wonderful.
Paula0 -
Beautiful pictures, Kathy!! Looks like fun!
Glad you got home safe, Karen.
Shelley, I love pansies! I'll need pictures.
The soccer party was fun for Ronan. He ran around and played ninjas with his two buddies.
I did a 60 min workout w/my trainer this afternoon. It was brutal after a week off!! Going to walk tomorrow. It's supposed to get to 100 degrees by Friday...egads! We'll see.
Chris0 -
Chris it is going to be hot here this week also. Nice workout. Wish I could have seen the kids playing. I need some extra laughter.
Karen I am so glad you are home safely. Such a long trip
Kathy the first photo is my favorite. Love it. Love the outfits. You two look like you are having a blast.
Had to go to the jail today. People just can't behave.
Shelley0 -
Headed home after a fantastic final night.Ron surprised me with a “Romantic dinner on the Beach”. I was totally surprised because that’s so not him. My belated birthday celebration.
A few pictures:

I love the pictures, Kathy!
Shelley, can you tell the jail story?
I walked this morning before it got hot and windy. Took my umbrella that worked for about half the walk. Met a beautiful golden-doodle!! Golden retriever and poodle mix. Beautiful and so tall! He came up to my thighs!! Big guy! His name was Teddy Bear!!
6.63 miles in 128 mins.
Chris1 -
Wow, Kathy. Truly romantic!
What kinds of food are on the plate? mashed potatoes, peppers, ...? Looks delish.
paula1 -
My SIL came down with Covid and feels awful for cancelling her daughter's 11th bday; but everyone at Chucky Cheeses is grateful without even knowing it.
I'm measuring food again. Hit 188#.
paula2 -
Thank you ladies. The food was delish. Fried Plantains to start. An amazing crab shrimp salad served in a cantaloupe and the main was steak, mashed potatoes and grilled veggies. The desserts were the chocolate cigars filled with an amazing cream. That chocolate decorative ball was also filled with cream. We had amazing food and drinks the entire trip. I hope I ate in moderation and will get on the scale this morning. We walked a lot around the resort and spent mornings on the beach and afternoons in the pool.
I can truly say this vacation exceeded my expectations. Ron went above and beyond to make sure I had a great time. He said I deserved it because of how hard I’ve been working to take care of my parents. That I needed the r & r and pampering. I’m so grateful for everything he did to make me feel special.
Now back to work. Weigh in, unpacking and laundry. My dad has treatment on Thursday and I have a lot of yard work to do. Mostly weeding.

I will take the 174 but the true number may not show up until next week. I know I didn’t overeat but I did drink a lot of fancy, sugary cocktails. Back to the gym and swimming lessons. Good luck ladies!!! 🏃🏾♀️ 🏊🏼♀️ 💪🏾

Well, the scale is not my friend lately...sigh!
Going to my trainers at noon for a 60 min workout. If anything exciting happens before or after I will be back.
Chris0 -
Made Soup this morning. It's 92 degrees out there. The app has wind at 12mph WNW, but the palm tree out back is leaning a lot more than 12mph. Too hot for me. And...it's supposed to hit 100 tomorrow. Good thing I'll be training in the cold room!!
Chris0 -
Kathy - so enjoyed seeing your beautiful photos this morning! You both look amazing in all of them. You've got a few framers there for sure! So glad yoy had a nice time!
I need to start logging my food again...just not paying attention. So much stress lately.
A litltr Bella update....she's been doing better. Her depression is improving, she's interacting a bit more, and she passed her 3 cyber classes, so she has officially passed 10th grade. She will have a heavy load for yue next 2 years, and who knows how much she can handle, but in this moment, she's done well. We get her diagnosis today. We know she has ADHD, anxiety and depression, but I'm pretty sure we will get an additional diagnosis. So looking forward to the clarity so we know how to support her. So heavy on my heart and mind....
I have to travel next Sunday for work on Father's Day, so we arw celebrating this weekend....with dinner today (baby back ribs in the crockpot which come our great, sheet pan nachos and chocolate cake....all of Jim's favorites...I'll have to control myself!) And we were hoping for a hike on sunday...let's see what the weather brings...
Either way...I'll going to start logging my food today. Thanks for the inspiration Paula!
Love you ladies,
Karen0 -
Allow my flowers are sluggish in blooming...kind of like ME! Finally some beauty...

Kathy was that a chocolate cigar Ron was pretending to smoke? So memorable. And beautiful. I would take the 174 also. So worth all the fun. Hope you are rested up.
Paula my friend came down with Covid. With her dear little 9 month old. They are truly lucky for the missed party.
Karen I know how you feel. I was exposed and trying hard not to give it to Rocky at the same time wondering if I also have it. Crazy.
Chris not much to tell. Just had to go help move some folks around. Now your meeting the dog sounds fun.
I have been sleeping in the guest room and spending lots of time outdoors. Don't want to get Rocky sick if I have it. Will test tonight. So far I feel ok.
We are thinking of building a cover over our small patio next to the new garden bed. When we poured it years ago it was with the knowledge that we may cover it some day. So we built it accordingly. The edges are reinforced and deeper. Will hold up a nice wooden cover.
Shelley0 -
Karen, beautiful color!!
Shelley, he was a great dog! Hope your test is negative.
60 min workout w/my trainer. It's 104 degrees here today!! Hoping it's cooler in the morning so I can walk to the post office. We'll see.
Chris1 -
Morning ladies,
I’m trying to get back in a routine. It’s been tough but I will get there. Haven’t been to PF but had a swim lesson and walked a couple of times. My BFF had officially retired to we plan to workout more together, she lives to walk.
Karen so glad the news on Bella is better. I’m sure it’s been super hard on you and will continue to send positive thoughts your way. The flowers are beautiful. Hang in there lady. 🤗
Chris I can’t believe that heat. We haven’t hit the dog days here in Georgia yet but they are coming. It’s supposed to be in the 90s everyday this coming week. Hope you can get an early morning walk in.
Shelley yes that was a chocolate cigar. I’ll never forget this trip. It was so wonderful. I rested but we also had loads of fun. We had to have a Covid test 34 hrs before we returned to the US. Hope your test is negative.
Paula I miss you. Hope you’re well.
My parents are both doing well. Both have CT-scans and MRIs coming up. 🙏🏾 My sister will be returning to Dubai in a couple of weeks. It’s been great having her home. My mom will really miss her. She’s given me such a break. I’ll really miss her as well. It’s been nice having help.
Taking my parents to great-grandson’s all-star game this afternoon and tomorrow. It’s tournament time. Yes I will be exhausted but they enjoy the games so…daughter duty.
Great weekend ladies! 🥰
Kathy
