The Shake the Sugar challenge is very much like Keto except you don’t get into ketosis with all the fruit they want you to eat. Lots of sugar in fruits. Also keto says no honey too.

Heather I am so proud for your family’s accomplishments! Exciting!

Here, the Jeep rally went well yesterday, no one got out of hand and looked like everyone had fun. One mor day of that.

Oh my goodness Edie reminds me of my swimming granddaughter Jillian! Utter determination and commitment. My heart clenched looking at the photo of Edie running!

First rain of the season started this morning and should last, off and on, through tomorrow.
Decided to stay home from church and just watch online today.
Don't plan on leaving the house.
Have lots to get done here. First is dishes- son cooked and left a bunch of dishes for me- looks like a lot but won't take more than10 min. to do, just a few big pans and other little stuff- Would be nice if he washed them after cooking. He does remember to rinse them really well which is a lot more than I can say for DH-he rarely rinses anything.
Picked up another filet of salmon. Still on sale for $7.99 a pound instead of $13 a pound. Third piece since the sale started. Seems a bit expensive per package -$30 each but, that piece is enough for the four of us, mil and her dog. This time I will make sure dh actually gets a full piece. Last time his mom took almost the whole huge piece I had sent over to them and ate it and gave the rest to her dog- leaving dh the scraps. I was so mad when he told me that. That is why we got this third piece.
I will bake it this afternoon.
Picked up chicken leg/thighs for .99cents a pound. Those will go in the pressure cooker and I will shred them up to go on my salad or make enchelladas.
Pork I will cut up and make some curry- first time to make it- using a package for the seasoning. Adding a lot of extra veggies and cutting the pork up small. Mil makes it but doesn't trim the fat/gristle and are huge pieces.
Beef that I will make stew or maybe something else- not sure.
Eggs to use up so will make egg salad- I will get fresh eggs from mom when I go up to take her for her surgery( almost 5 months after a tick got in her ear and got infected and left a whole in her eardrum- her room mate says it is too early to take mom down so I will drive up the night before and get up early and take her. I am an hour away and don't want to be driving the backroads at 4AM by myself that morning)
Want to bake some cookies and brownies too- treats for the guys. Oatmeal cherry cookies- (I have a lot of dried cherries to use up so will use them instead of raisins I think- will check with dh to see what he says. they are for him


Food program to do online for the daycare- supposed to do it daily and I am lucky if I do it every Sunday

Time to get started-
Have a wonderful Sunday ladies

Happy Sunday! What a busy group of ladies! Our cable line was cut by county workers and we were without internet, tv, and landline for over 24 hrs. It has taken me most of the day to catch up. When we were first married, my husband was at Ft Knox, Ky and we had no tv or phone and of course there was no internet. Somehow, we didn't really miss it. Now days, it seem to be very, very vital.

Heather ... amazing job by both Edie and your son!

Kelly ... I have to echo Machka's concern ... the return of your "friend" warrants a visit with a doctor. I'm going through multiple tests for the exact same reason.

KarenVA ... beautiful photo of Nebraska ...

Lanette ... I can figure out just about anything when in comes to repairs, but the strength issue is my nemesis as well. Really makes me mad because I think there are so many things I could do. Not that I need to as my husband is very good at all of that stuff. His strength isn't what it was either though.

I made unsweetened applesauce (usually make sweetened) yesterday from our HoneyCrisp apple tree and I'm not a fan! First time using a food mill and I'm suspicious that softening the apples took something out of the apples because the apples themselves are incredibly sweet. The applesauce was not. I'll use it up though.

Also making apple pies ... we've had one but the others are going to friends. The house smells wonderful. Next up will be the Fireside apple tree in about 3 weeks or so. They're not an eating apple but make a great pie. I'll probably try making some apple butter with those.y

I am 10-12 days out from bringing my mother to NY from OH. Medicare and SS rules will be the death of me. My mother will be private-pay for her care and you practically have to beg people to return calls. Seriously?

Yes, Karen, she was so focused. Even though we were cheering her on, she did not look at us and just was determined to keep going. Amazing stamina and tenacity.
I did actually think about your swimming granddaughter, as I recognised the totally focused look.
They just expand your heart so much.

Heather thanks for sharing the photos of Edie and your son. Edie did great and you can tell she has been training for this. Well done. I bet you were more nervous than they were.
Did some more decorating even though it is 92 today. I am hosting a bridge club on Wednesday so wanted it to look like fall even though it is still hot!!!

Katla: Hugs to you and DH. I remember my two meet ups with you two with much fondness.

Heather: I finished your book last night. I so admire your courage to share such deep and personal memories and feelings. Great job. Love the photos of the triathalon.

Lisa: Congrats to you DD and her fiance. Any plans to meet his side of the family?

So proud of all who are organizing, cleaning and paring down your cluttered corners. And a special salute to everyone modifying sugar intake. What an inspiring bunch you all are.

I've been quite sedentary for past two days because my foot is not right. It is the same foot that suffered and avulsion fracture 3 years ago. Hurts to the point of disturbing my sleep. Think I tweaked it doing something in the gym, so using this down time as an opportunity to catch up on reading and correspondence.

Stay well, friends. We can do this.

Just a few wee comments tonight.

Katla: Good that you had a pleasant visit with your DH

Heather: 👍🏻 Love all the pics of your sporty family.

Beth: DED gave me bramleys last Sunday. Who knew that making apple sauce was so easy with a microwave. DH loved it on his pork loin for dinner tonight.

Lanette: 😍 ‘kind of a clean out the fridge/what's in the freezer soup’ my go to for lunch 😝

🥳🎉 Cheers to all those celebrating.

Virtual (((hugs))) and 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 for those who need them.

Rori - That's an interesting question, and one I never actually considered in regard to us meeting his family. I gather his stepfather, the one who has been a better dad than his birth father ever was, is dying by slow inches. Decades of inhaled concrete dust have his lungs down to 58% and falling fast (some version of COPD, I gather). They're trying to get enough time to take the kids and go see him at his home in Nevada as soon as they can. His mom is finding out how little she knows about everything like bank accounts, etc., and they want to help her as much as they can while they're there.

Even ladies
Kelly- as others have said thats no joke get it looked into.. i ended up having to get a hysterectomy because i was bleeding out like that..
Quiet day today.. which was just fine.. got the laundry done.

Katla49

I had a lovely telephone conversation with DH today. He is still in the hospital and is doing better. I hope he continues to improve.

Allie— Thanks for the information about new vaccines for COVID.

Jake had his usual flu shot reaction today--didn't feel well and slept most of the day getting up briefly for meals and beverages. I thought I was fine but I did take a long afternoon nap along with walking over 20.000 steps and planting the iris that I had separated last week. Now I'm off to bed early.

Allie – what time is the funeral?

Brought the Christmas decorations in the house. Tonight I went to BK to give them the prep for tomorrow so I can go to the dermatologist for my routine visit. I was surprised how slow they are on a Sunday night.

Rori – love hearing from you. Hope your foot gets better fast.

Silly as it may sound, I’m really looking forward to exercising tomorrow morning then hopefully going for a walk.

Night everyone
