I don't normally do these games, but this one grabbed my attention.1

Rori - happy 67th! That Flea and Farmer's Market sounds like fun! Great way to celebrate your special day.

Tracey and SueBDew: Prayers for you and your family.
Karen: Love, love love your baby Rory. That embroidery journal is fantastic and inspiring. I had never embroidered before,so picked up a kit of 4 simple stamped designs for practice. I work on this while watching or listening to sports.
It's been a great weekend celebrating my 67th Spin Around the Sun. Had lunch with neighbors, dinner with niece and enjoyed an unusually sunny and warm day walking for 3 hours at our big Flea and Farmers Market. Didn't need a blessed thing but still managed to fill a bag with cheap little "finds" that make me smile: a new pair of snowpants, lucky bamboo branches and a vintage Denver Nuggets tshirt. Also some beautiful mangos and apple bananas. Score!
Stay well friends. We can do this.

thanks for posting the picture- reminded me that I have two mango that are ready to eat, along with my second papaya. I will cut one mango now. Had a sweet potato for lunch and wanted something else to go with it.
Allie- thanks for the reminder. I need to take my garbage out. Odd that no one else doesn't see that it is totally full, just keep adding to it.
Miso, one of the cats was on my lap, sat on the key board and all of a sudden there was something I had never seen before popped up on the screen. Navigator- was saying every letter/key stroke I typed. Would also read every thing I clicked on. Glad I figured out how to get rid of that.
Time to go clean out the fridge or take down the Christmas tree. I want both done this afternoon. Will have son take the tree and put it in the van so we can get it back in storage. Ready to get that corner organized again and the cat trees put back there instead of in the way.
Dinner tonight will be the ham we got on managers special for .49 a pound- nice big spiral ham. Mashed potatoes and salad. I picked a few little second shoots off my romanesco plant that uprooted itself. Not much there but will be a nice addition.

I've just ordered, after I saw someone doing something on Instagram, 50 wooden blank coasters that you can put your own designs on. I've also ordered heatproof gloss varnish. No idea if I can manage to produce anything worth keeping, but we do use coasters, and they will be nice as small presents for people. My family are always losing theirs! It will be an interesting experiment!
Love Heather UK xxxxxx
I've got some of them and have done nail polish pours on them to make swirling patterns. And to use up my nail polish.

Nearly caught up.2 -
Dr appt this morning. BP 148/85 - top end of normal. It has been about that for a while. Not worried but I would kinda like to get it lower.
Pre-2018 it was usually quite low.

Took a nice nap. Now heading back to Ohio.2

Happy birthday Rori!
I'm in a lazy funk. But at least I finally trimmed Teddy today. He looks much slimmer and the little starter mats are gone. Much better.
The book I wanted to listen to went on sale, so I've got it on my Kindle Paperwhite. Now I have to pair the earbuds with the Kindle, and I will be ready to listen and walk. It's the first Agatha Raisin book.
I have a Dr appointment on Tuesday that has me brooding. Whatever will be, will be. No sense in worrying about it. I'm driving myself this time, and somehow it feels like the first step in growing old alone. What a terrible attitude! But I can't seem to shake it.

You all are so special and bring joy to my life. My sister called last night and ask me to pray for a merciful release. My bil had been in agony for three days because the medicine in the Iv wasn’t helping him. They discovered that the veins had blows. Mercifully, he passed this morning. I told my sis I was sad but relieved. She feels the same. Not sure how much longer she could’ve stood what he went through. Thank you all so much for your thoughts and prayers. We will fly to AL on Thursday for a Celebration of Life on Saturday.
Allie. I don’t think you ever get over the death of a parent. Just savor the good memories.
Rori. Happy 67TH birthday.
Kim. I have been worried about you and I didn’t even know you were out driving in all the horrible weather. Take care of you. Stay home if you can.
SueBDew in TX14 -
Rori Happy Birthday!! Hope your 67th year is filled with good health and good times.
Betsy in NW WA2 -
Suebdew so sorry about your brother in law, and relieved that he found his peace. Hope your trip is smooth.
Annie in Delaware1 -
one of the two things on my to do list is done. The tree is down, in the van so we can take it back to storage, living room vacuumed of all the fake needles and the stuff put back where it belongs. I will really miss the lights from the tree this evening but like having the stuff back where it belongs. Too much stuff in here as it is then add the tree and decorations and it gets a bit much after a while. Will be great when I don't have any of the daycare stuff in here anymore.
Fridge did not get cleaned out. Maybe tomorrow. No school for Ezie so I will have her all day, but don't have to go out in the storm to pick her up. That is fine with me. Have projects for her to keep her busy.2 -
Did Prevention’s Fit in 10 DVD then went for my walk. Senior bowling tomorrow.
Tracey – HUGS for Roger and your family
Ginny – I, too, like counted crosstitch but have only used a pattern. Wish I knew how to make it so that I can make my own pattern. For some reason, I don’t know how to tat. Wish I could learn, but I don’t know anyone who knows how to do it.
To be honest, I can’t remember the last time I accepted a friend request. I have denied quite a few, especially those from men
Beth – ouch about the crown! Just be sure not to have anything real cold or warm (like ice cream or coffee) until you get it taken care of
Jeannie – please don’t remind me the big 7oh. Too close for comfort, that’s for sure. Remember when we were in our 20’s and the saying was “don’t trust anyone over 30”?
Did 2 loads of laundry and made a banana chocolate cake for Vince after he finishes the avocado brownies (no, I didn’t tell him there was avocado in it. Should put away at least one load (plus I need my bowling socks from that load) while the cake is cooling before I ice it. Made the icing, too.
It looks like Penny hasn’t logged in in 8 months. Hope she’s OK
‘
Allie – yup, Tobias. Just couldn’t think of his name.
Iced the cake then cut it up into 4 pieces. Now freezing it so that I can wrap it, put it in the freezer, and the wrapping (aluminum foil) won’t stick to the icing. Off to sort the laundry (funsville!)
Debbie – I’m the only one in my house that knows how to take out the recyclables! All you need to do is take the can out, dump it into the larger can and close the lid. But still……
Anne DE – good luck at the doctor’s
SueBDew – I’ so sorry to hear of your BIL’s passing. Prayers. Hope you have a safe trip there and back.

The really funny thing here about the recycling is that dh complains to me that ds just put it in the tray we have set for it but doesn't take it out. All this while he does the same exact thing. I take it out a few times a day and most of it is from his stuff.

Suebdew - thank you for letting us know about your BIL. Glad he is no longer in pain. Have a safe flight.
Kim - glad you and Levi made it home safely. I was on the edge of my seat just reading about it. Sounds like the lakes and reservoirs are filling and giving CA relief from the drought in some areas.
KETTLEBELLS - Mary and others of you who were using a kettlebell a few years ago. Are you still? I'm wondering if this would be good for upper body and core. I just remembered I have a 10# one around here someplace that I should dig out.
It's been a gloomy, breezy, rainy winter day here in SW WA State. Great day to stay inside.
Make it a wonderful week!

DH’s sister called this evening. We had a pleasant conversation for three. DH was settling in for bed but he took time to chat a bit. I plan to call her in the near future.5

Sue - Be safe as you're traveling, dear heart. Many loving thoughts for you and your family as you say goodbye.
Rori - Happy 67th, dear heart. Sounds like a wonderful day.
Kim - That description of your drive made me tense up just reading it. Well done for getting you and Levi home safe and sound! Hope there are no hair-raising journeys in your future.
Just talked to my son (well, texted back and forth) and it appears we may be seeing him and his fiancee this summer. I love that boy, but I do not rest my future plans on his maybes, bless him. I will truly believe he's coming when I hug him.
It was a quiet weekend, all in all. I actually left the house, once. I'm wandering perilously close to becoming a recluse, and that's not a good thing. It's time I find something to do that will get me out of the house, but still be able to cope with this stupid disease, and where I can talk to someone besides Egg. Conversations with her tend to be one-sided.
Bedtime for me, or very nearly...
Love y'all,
Lisa in AR

Hello all, Looking for a place to belong in the community. I just turned 61 yesterday. So thought I would try this forum first. I have been using MFP for the past 7 years, but have never been on the community side of things. My goal for now is to loose 15 more pounds by April 6th. I lost 15 pound and year ago using Noom, and have kept it off. Loved the program, but it was information and habits that I already knew, and not worth the price to continue with them. Hope to get to know some of you and offer my support.7

Ugh can't sleep, im overtired and my mind is racing.. and I just have to just let go ..so I can sleep.. have to take care of my little guy tomorrow..
And i keep running through my mind what I want to say to Tracy.3 -
(((Allie)))— Rest is often best. I hope you will be able to sleep tonight. Let tomorrow take care of itself. ❤️1

I’m skimming not reading fully.
Heather - I love that afghan. It is what I wish I could really live with, bright, sort of boho, a little random. However, my senses never let me enjoy that as much for long periods. I tend to me more at peace with Lisa’s style.
I want to be a bohemian, hippie type but never can quite pull it off.
Kim - What a harrowing drive. My brother drove the 3 hours to his MIL’s today to avoid freezing rain tomorrow. He is now about 29 minutes from the airport where he will pick DH up.
Sue - I’m sorry your BIL had a painful last few days. I prayed my Dad would have release the last few days of his life as well.
Allie - my Dad has been gone 10 years now and I can look back at sweet memories. However, the thoughts of seeing my FIL in the same hospital is filling me with dread and anxiety.
My daughter texted tonight that she is feeling the same.
I’m heading to bed early. I have to have DH at the airport at 5am. I will probably go to work afterwards I want to get a lot caught up this week in the event I have to leave fast.
The next flight isn’t until Friday.

Happy birthday Rori!
Sue - so sorry for you and yours. Travel safely.
Kim- glad you and Levi made it home OK. My DB lives in the foothills near Yosemite and says he has streams where he has never had streams before.
DD and I are relieved we have found someone to farm sit for us while we are gone in February. She has good references and will stay at our place including overnight to take care of the critters. Our previous sitter has had a return of her melanoma after 11 years and will be in treatment so was unable to help us out. DD and I are headed to southern CA to celebrate my 75th birthday at Disneyland. It has been 40 years since I have been there. DSon is picking up the tab as my present.
Everyone take care, Sue in WA9
