    dinner tonight here is cashew chicken.
    TONS of veggies(all from helping at the food program, same with the chicken thigh meat-
    Had a small bowl full for late lunch and will have another after Zumba tonight.

    cooked down the two small baskets of blackberries I picked at mom's Saturday afternoon- super ripe(the way I like them) so needed to be used right away. I want to fill some crescent rolls with some for our picnic after class Wed. I didn't add anything to the berries- will add a little honey powder if it isn't sweet enough- it is cooling now so I will try it- Want it to be just berries but will see.


    Took the daycare girl to the park- walked instead of driving(it is just four blocks or so away) then I walked/jogged(that is a first) while she played. At over 12,000 steps already with an hour of zumba in two hours.

    In a challenge with one of the zumba friends- fun to be competitive. Just a M-F challenge so easy to do.

    Yummy!

    Stacey – welcome! Come back often

    Cut the grass today. I couldn’t believe how much it had grown since I’d cut it Saturday. I’ll go to ceramics tonight, Vince won’t. He’s too exhausted. Well, this is the first time he’s exerted himself that much. Ordered paint for ceramics. I can work on the black parts while I’m at home. Almost everything has some black in it


    M – great to see you. We were getting concerned

    Lisa – we never started school until after Labor Day, too. Same with my kids. Down here, tho, they start in mid-August.

    Went to ceramics tonight. I’m surprised that it seems no one has mentioned how there are fewer and fewer paints (they’re running out and not replenishing), especially the Stroke & Coats. And the fact that she isn’t pouring molds. Oh well….

    Viv UK-I agree attitude is everything. I like you body description.

    Machka-good to have you posting-missed your chatter and questions and advice. You did have an incredibly busy July!

    Love the expression on Bea's face Heather!

    Carol-Grands are growing quickly. Hard to believe back to school this early.

    Rita RV-glad things are looking up. I started meds Sunday for a sinus infection. I woke up at 1 am this morning and my first thought was "I can breathe!" Does make all the difference.

    Pip-sounds like your plan is working for the bike/ride. I see people around here riding bike and holding dog's lease (dog is trotting along with them). Would that approach work for you?

    Sue in WA-good news that pt is working and foot is healing. Sounds like a nice visit with GS.

    Karen-I love your brother's picture! That is one I would seriously consider buying-and I don't typically buy paintings.

    Barbiecat-August will be a long waiting month-maybe they will have a cancellation.

    Yesterday helped set up for a large funeral dinner in our area. I did not know the deceased personally but it was quite a send off. Didn't stay for the dinner-just did 4 hours early set up crew. In the midst of that, totally forgot I had a pt session scheduled. Had in my work phone calendar (which I didn't check yesterday because I wasn't at work) but did not have it in personal cell. I honestly do not think I have ever forgot such an appointment in my life, so I don't feel too bad. If I get charged a fee I do. Missed for a good reason.

    Take care all,

    My gosh the grandkids are all sprouting! I especially see a huge change in Levi.

    Very uplifting to sit on my swing on the deck this morning with a little sprinkle and read how you'all are doing! DH still sleeping. Electrician due at any time to break the morning's peace!

    DH is here with me and I am beyond grateful.

    We’re at our daughter’s home now. His heart surgery was/is successful and he is gradually gaining strength. We’re in our old and wonderful RV.

    Karen VA ~ I like the 2005 painting too! Is your brother a bird enthusiast? My granddaughter only paints landscapes for some reason. I wish she would try new things.

    Rosemarie ~ Welcome! I too am from Georgia...actually, a Georgia native. At almost 74, only out of Georgia for several years when my husband was at Fort Knox, KY. Our Dr. Katiebug is also from Georgia!

    I don't usually like plant analogies, but something about this appealed to me ...

    Rose: Job. I got to play in the database today and write SQL code!!

    Bud: Hope ... that maybe next year we'll be able to travel a little bit ... to leave the island.

    Thorn: My home office ... I need a professional organiser or something.

    He runs off leash with me when I run, he would probably do the same on the bike.

    Waiting on the sun to get up high enough that it will burn off the dew. It's 81 degrees and 81% humidity right now, like wandering around in the swamp. The big mower will mow through anything, and I just need to knock down the very few areas that are still producing grass. After they get above ankle level, the ticks get pretty bad. More sunshine and heat warnings still for the next few weeks. It was nice to at least get a little rain this weekend.

    Barbara - No on the dizziness, it's just annoying, not debilitating. Thanks for asking. :wink:

    I've read everything, just wanted to welcome those who are new. Time to go get voluntarily sweaty.

    There are worse things...

    Later,
    Love,

    I have not been anywhere with ticks, but DH’s best friend from school days was bitten by a tick and he had horrible consequences. He did not recover from the bite. I did not see him speak. His family loved him & took excellent care of him. It surely put a fear of ticks for me.

    mom had/has an issue because of a tick but not as severe as what you are describing- One got in her ear, we are assuming while she was asleep because otherwise she would have had her hearing aid in and she would have felt it. She didn't know it was there until she went to get her hearing aids checked and the guy found it, sent her to ER to have it dug out. Got a bad infection in it. Now she has a whole in her ear drum and waiting to go have surgery to repair the whole as it has not closed on it's own.

    did just over 20,000 steps yesterday. Had a great zumba class. Was able to keep up and have lots of energy during it. I am sure it was the cup of strong coffee but it felt good to really keep up. Down side was not being able to get to sleep until almost 2AM!! Four hours of tossing and turning, then woke up at 7:30 and couldn't get back to sleep.
    Will go walk MIL's dog with my daycare girl and then if she wants, we will stop at the other park for her to play a while(and I will walk)
    Hoping to find someone to walk with this evening or may just go by myself.
    Having my tea now but think I will need to switch to that coffee.

    Have a wonderful Tuesday ladies

    Rita —- I have missed you! I am in Illinois, living in our Bounder now parked at our daughter’’s place. I have enjoyed our grandchildren.

    DH is recovering from heart surgery, one day at a time.. It has taken a long months in a care facility, He is home with me. We’re both at our daughter’s home in Illinois.

    Glad your DH is getting better! I’m in a 1999 Bounder too! No slides, 27 footer. What’s yours RVKATLA ? Lol

    I lived in CT where the tics were really bad. They carry Lyme disease in that area. My mom, my SIL and my mom’s dog all got Lyme disease at the same time one year. I never caught it. We had to check ourselves and the dogs daily for tics. Really creeped me out! Then we moved to TN. The tics there weren’t as bad but they carry Rocky Mountain Fever. Dogs and people didn’t get checked as much there but yard was sprayed and grass kept low just in case. Now I live in NM and haven’t seen a tic yet. Just have to watch for rattlesnakes here! Doesn’t matter where you live, there are negatives and positives to the wildlife and weather!

    Hello ladies!
    I was going to visit my cousin but she cancelled so now I should eat an extra thousand calories, right? Lol. I'm trying not to use food as entertainment. But I have this drive to stare into the fridge. It's like watching a campfire.

    Machka glad you are back. Sounds like work is going well.

    Katla glad you and DH are together again.

    Maybe I should try on my outfit for my date tomorrow. I have Capri pants with a multicolor floral pattern, and a white lacy blouse with a large peach over-shirt. Well maybe more orange than peach. Not my best color, but it's cheerful. The other option is a pale salmon linen shirt but that looks wrinkled already. It's going to be hot and sunny, then cool in the restaurant. Hmm. And should I try some makeup? It's all years old. Then I need to pick jewelry that won't catch my hair. And do I wear the nice sandals or the river shoes so we could walk a bit? Hmm. Yes I better start deciding.
