Well, the Coronation is going to be May 6th next year. I am delighted it is not going to be during our cruise! May 6th is going to be our 20th meeting anniversary. I can hardly believe it. DH still feels like my 'new man'. It is also Max's 12th birthday.
I'm watching a TV programme about Edmonton, Tracey. I had no idea it was so big. Apparently a great Arts hub and with a terrific new transit system and restored trams over the river. Looks amazing. Lots of festivals! Kept thinking of you.
We picked Bea up and relished the beautiful autumn sunshine 🌞 Eventually we got home with more flowers she picked on the way. Found out that my son was wearing the very same jacket that DH bought last week!
We left when they were having tea and made for the microbrewery, where I ordered Pizza for collection on our way home. We always share a Funghi, which is heavenly. Earlier in the day I had prepared a coleslaw in olive oil dressing, so a bottle of red wine was a great accompaniment .
What a good day.
I'm hoping my jab effects will not be too bad tomorrow as I'm hoping to get to the French Circle in the evening. It's about Russian emigration to France . I was thinking we might get to the North Laines a bit earlier so we can eat dinner in a restaurant. My son gave us two recommendations so I'm hoping I will be fine. We haven't been to the lectures since before Covid. It's good to do things together. One suggestion was Japanese/Korean and one was Indian that does Thali. I think we might go for the latter.
Lots of kids stuff coming up in the near future, so we won't be bored!
Love Heather UK xxxxxx

Worked then went to the gym. Stopped at the Salvation Army but didn’t get anything. Then came home. Lowe’s Hardware had delivered the stones we need for the drain and the landscaper was here to plug and seed the front lawn. Actually, he wound up doing the whole yard! That was a nice surprise. Now I have to go water it. Ceramics tonight
Karen – I know how wonderful it feels to get rid of a storage unit. When we moved to NC we had 5 units. It felt so so good to get rid of one, then two, then three, then four, and finally having none.
Last night at ceramics we were talking about what will happen to the ceramics when we go. One guy, Bob, said “I told my sons to call Michelle (not me). Michelle is the gal who runs the ceramics. She is Bob’s neighbor. It was all in fun.
Drinking liquids: Even tho I’m working, I usually can get 80-100oz in me. Like Rita, I’m just a big water drinker.
I made a ceramic pelican for this lady down at the condo and picked it up yesterday. She’s real sweet, she remembers MIL!
Off to water lawn

Fish, flax seeds, chia seeds, coconut oil...After listening to the raw food diet for dogs it reminded me how important good fats are for my brain and my health. All fats are not created equal. The talks also opened my do to eyes to what cooking can do to fats.
I still am trying to minimize added sugars and starches from my diet.
A few times a year I get a bag of shelled unsalted sunflower seeds and add them to my lunch for a week or two.

Karen-very interesting hearing the process you went through. Our family never had such treasures, but I still need to think through some of the stuff from my mom, etc. She never had much to give us, but she always tried to make things meaningful. Louie Armstrong in your house!
Pip-hope you find PT helpful.
Allie-Miles joins our collection of adorable kids!
Did ok with a couple of work sessions. Got in four hours-a bit in morning a bit in afternoon. Drove to neighborhood store-wanted blueberries and lettuce/veggies. Maybe not even a 3 minute drive. Doctor is right about driving not being comfortable. I can definitely drive if I have to but think I will refrain for a few more days. A friend has offered to pick me up for our ladies group tomorrow and I will let her!
No pain pills other than tylenol today. May take one before bed time. Between icing and putting legs up not too hateful.
Time to find something for dinner.
Take care all,

Went to YM this morning. The regular teacher was there so I got to participate and not teach, so much more fun. Need to see if I can get smallest pasture spread with lime tomorrow. It has been a very dry, dusty fall so far. We could use some rain.
Happy birthday Rosemarie.
Rebecca - glad you are feeling better.
Karen - you are doing awesome on your project.
Everyone take care, Sue in WA2 -
Rosemarie Happy Belated Birthday :flowerforyou:
A take away from the raw diet for dogs program that resonates with me is ...Food is fuel. When poor fuel is put into a car it can damage/ and or keep the car from performing at its best. If I eat food that is inappropriate for me such as over processed, too many sugars, starches, or bad fats it damages my body and hurts my ability to be at my best. I need to eat and drink what heals me and enables me to be my best.6 -
made my phone appointment with the wellness coach- My doctor recommended it when I told her about all the exercising I am doing/ tracking calories and not loosing any weight. Then, got my lab work results. Cholesterol is 286(has always run high, even way back when I weighed 95lbs), A1C is 5.8(up from 5.5 a year ago), so more reason to figure out how to take care of all these issues.
I want to see if I can lower those numbers on my own with diet/exercise instead of going on meds, if I can, but if not, I will try there way.
Walked my 5 miles around the wetlands again today. Saw a flock of wild canaries up close today. So cute.
So many different birds- dad would love walking there with me.
I need to bring binoculars with me one day to see them better.
As of now, not walking with anyone tonight.
Back to only one night a week with zumba(getting dark too early for us to do it at the park that isn't lit). Will push my friends to walk more often while we can but also keep doing my wetlands walk 4 days a week while waiting for Ezie to get out of school.

Thanks again!

Heather - we had neighbours one time from Germany. They were here working on a project that was about 6 hours Northwest of us. They came back one night and said something to the effect of, we drove 6 hours and didn’t leave a province. Where we’re from you would cross 3 countries.
My geography is terrible so I don’t know if that is accurate or not.
Karen - I understand how it is to be the keeper of the “stuff”. I have tin pictures here if my great great great grandparents. Both of my maternal grandparents were the babies. I have thought about contacting the provincial archives in NB and asking if they want some things. My grandmother when she cleaned “the old homestead” gave a lot to the local historical society. I was 12 at the time.
I really have been reading along, I took a four day weekend and was incredibly busy. I’m hoping to take another long weekend in a couple of weeks.

Still skimmin’. Stats updates just have to wait. Frenzied cleaning yesterday, today, and whatever can get done tomorrow morning before company arrives. Joe’s tried to be helpful, and he has, but there have been some less than loving conversations as I’m snappish when mid-cleaning frenzy and take not well to helpful suggestions, or even honest communication. The NSVs were getting back to PT yesterday and today, and taking time out for line dancing tonight.
Ginny would your endocrinologist explore other ways to replenish the calcium in your bones? Weight bearing exercise, calcium/magnesium, and/or ???
Barbie aha! Now why didn’t I think of that Happy birthday wishes to Jake.
Heather con VERY grats on finishing that tax return.
Rebecca how awful. Have you update the MD? Might need a closer look…
Rita too many overcast days give me the blues too. ((hugs))
Welcome @7823star!
Margaret “…So even though I am listening to the program to improve DrewB health I do think it is getting me to address some of my own bad habits” Brilliant!
Michele I just hate it when I go off plan and then the treat turns out to be not-so-good.
Annie brava for getting back on the exercise track.
Heather and Karen ((hugs))
Belated best birthday wishes, Rosmarie!
Carol if there’s pain associated with the popping sound in the hip might want to seek the advice of a PT. You could go for your knee pain and ask at the same time. PT has made a huge difference in my knee.
Jeannie your Sisters on the Fly sound like a great group of gals.
Karen “find myself eager to start each day and see what I can accomplish” I’ll try to borrow your attitude and shift away from chafing at/resenting/loathing house cleaning chores.
Allie I love my Dyson stick vacuum but if Joe got me one for a present I wouldn’t like it so much. Never liked getting house cleaning tools for presents, far prefer wine, flowers, chocolates…
Debbie praying the wellness coach can help you with lowering your cholesterol and a1C. Considering how healthily you eat and how much you exercise that cholesterol number is scary! Could it be the stress you live under? https://www.webmd.com/cholesterol-management/stress-cholesterol-link
Time to snooze. May be a few days before I check in again because of my friend visiting from Idaho.
Lighter, lovelies!
