I have have a sore throat & drippy nose—No fun. Then I remembered an excellent product that has been helpful in the past, Peppermint Tea. I’m currently sipping my second cup. It helps. 💖

I hope everyone enjoys there memorial day weekend and remember why we celebrate..
Im having some neck strain so will relax and go to bed early.. got all my running done today. Tomorrow is laundry and trying to do some cleaning.
Daddy runs the lawn mower and this is what happens lol..
Carmine has a contraband phone someone has lent her and ,all her devices have been taken away because she has abused the privileges in school.so she had this phone stashed and lied to her parents and Tracy found it ,and took that one away.
So Carmine stormed iut of the house screaming and yelling ..and now us refusing to take her meds..
She went down to her grandfather's. So at least she is safe. But can't stay there forever.3 -
Lordie, Allie, I'm sorry for their little family. Teenager-raising is hazardous stuff, especially in the internet age. No wonder Tracy looks worn out in that picture. Hope things work out soon, but a weekend apart might make everyone a little less tired...0

PIP: Happy Birthday! Nice gift from the chlldren!
Heather: Love the painting!
Rori: Love seeing your feet in the channel!
Karen: Hope you get a second wind about putting your house on the market!
Machka: Glad you like your work!
Beth: Hope the trail cams work!
RVRita: Glad your feeling better!
MargaretTurk: Hope your DH's eye surgery goes well!
Fancy0626: I didn't follow the entire situation, but I hope everything gets resolved for you!
Lisa, Thanks for noticing I was missing. Actually I took notes on 5 pages and never got them posted! I was saddened about the passing of Tina Turner. I loved her energy! Thinking about the people in Guam! I have been working on my house! I have all the clutter in mostly one room now and I am thinking it will take 40 hours to go through it all. I simply don't have room for some of the stuff I am trying to hold onto!
I am going to MA next week for a graduation and to see my 92 year old Mom! I really want to stay home and work on the house, but once I am there I will enjoy everyone. We might take a Boston Duck Tour which will go into the Charles River for 20 minutes!
I toured a hydrangea farm with some friends here in GA. The owner goes up to Cape Cod to get many of his hydrangeas.
Best,
Rosemarie from GA6 -

Good evening ladies!

Beth, thanks for thinking of me. I’ve been skimming posts but not replying. Super busy with conference stuff right now.
My feelings are all over the place regarding my weight loss/get healthy journey. I’ll try to post more next week. I’ll be tied up tomorrow with family responsibilities that I could rant about, but I won’t.7 -
My oldest grandchild is turning 17!

Karen - adorable photo!!! I'm guessing he is swimmer Jillian's brother. If so I recall when he was much younger, and you helped tutor him a little. Time goes so fast.

Karen - What a lovely looking boy... You look so joyful in this picture, too.3

I thought there were a dozen things to get done today, but the only one I can remember now is laundry. I should have made a list!
Annie in Delaware
I always have a list on the go, but even so, I'm sitting here thinking I've forgotten something.
You were going to make sure your new laptop worked for your Sunday ZOOM.

I'm down another 0.8 kg from last weekend ... 3 kg (6.6 lbs) from mid-March.
I've also been cutting back on food, and I'm just a little bit hungry some of the time, but that's OK.
I had a look at my overstuffed dressing room. I have a lot of clothes, in different sizes, because I have been different sizes over the years. However, I don't have a lot of clothes at the size I was in mid-March. I bought a few, but then it dawned on me that I've got lots of clothes, and if I wanted to save myself some money, I could try losing a bit of weight ... then I might fit into more clothes.
It usually takes me at least a 10 kg loss to move down a size. I had just started buying a few things at Size 20 (Australia) ... so hopefully shortly I will be fitting nicely into my Size 18 clothes again.
For reference, these are a couple size comparison charts ...
I use PlantSnap app to identify plants. I can check 3 or 5 (I forget) plants a day for free.
Machka in Oz
thanks for the name of the app- putting it on my phone now.
Need to look into it more- don't see where I can get more than just a three day trial but have to pay to start it then cancel before the trial is over
When I open it, it comes up with a Start Free Trial page, so I click Cancel in the top right corner, and then I can use it for a few plant checks each day.

Mary - what a mess. I hope some resolution is found soon. Maybe waiting to post it for a bit would be helpful.
Allie - can there be an exception made? My cousin was able to get one when her granddaughter attended school in her area.
I just saw the latest, I feel so bad for everyone. They need some more help for sure.
Lisa - yes it is a first interview. I don’t know if I’ll volunteer to do the mowing again anytime soon.
Heather - I am not unusually drawn to abstract, but I love the colours.
Rosemarie - I think I’ll be organizing and such too while I’m off.
Machka - I thought I read somewhere that they proven that multitasking is actually worse than doing a single task? It will take a long time for society to change though if they did.
I am not feeling the best tonight, I may be going to a medi centre tomorrow.

27. Focus on how your actions make a difference to others. Giving ear and shoulder to T and D.
26. Remember an event in your life that was really meaningful. The Dixie bad dog story.
25. Ask someone else what matters most to them and why. T.
Thankful I checked email at oh dark thirty Wednesday. There was a reminder for my eye appointment Friday. Yeah, not Wednesday. Had it wrong on my calendar. :{ So grateful I didn’t get all the way to Medford on the wrong day. Sure didn’t want to be traveling Friday before Memorial Day weekend, If I’d needed to spend the night accommodations would be few and $pendy. They graciously postponed appointment to the day after Independence day, at [gulp] 7am. It really is ok, I far prefer driving 199 in the dark, that way the oncoming trucks’ headlights give me advance warning.
Lanette me too, replenished the car stash of raw almonds. Helps before grocery shopping :devil:
Machka just hoping compatibility with Windows 10 doesn’t go away in my lifetime
Terri & KJ re Tina Turner, amen, sisters, amen.
Rori & Heather thank you for sharing your adventures and pics. Almost feel like I was nearby.
Mary I really like “Picture This”. It does pop up offering/asking you to sign up for a “free” 7 day trial, but instead of taping “continue”, wait a moment for the “cancel” to appear at top right, and tap there. You can identify but not save plants with the free version.
Pip Yogi and Chispas get allowances? That Kirby is a gem!
Debbie thanks for the update on Kylia! Thought of you at Grocery Outlet today. Intended to spend around twenty, ended up spending seventy but very pleased with purchases. They had the Cooper Street biscotti (30 cals each only 2.5 g sugar) for the first time in a couple of years and I grabbed 3 bags. Also our favorite roasted garlic olive oil. Took a chance on a bag of Blue Diamond dark chocolate/chili almond mix ups for only $1.99/8 oz. They are YUMMY. Going back to get a few more bags to stash for when I want to CHOMP something salty and sweet.
Heather I like your painting, their choice of counter top not so much
Allie ((hugs)) no wisdom here just ((hugs)) and ditto Lisa’s take-care-of-Allie concern.
Rosemarie good to see you posting. It would take me WAY more than 40 hours to sort through a roomful of clutter. Brava!
Annie Yay you! I feel you about the new laptop. Our cable/internet company sent new equipment and I’ve let it sit for a week. Dread changing out wifi router and reconnecting all the devices. Maybe tomorrow morning when Joe goes to town… :devil:
Karen that’s the grandson you learning-coached? Delighted to see him (and you) looking so happy.
Tracey so glad you’re interviewing for new job. You will be a valuable asset to whatever company is fortunate enough to hire you.

This is Jillian’s older brother Griffin. I was his Learning Coach in 7th and 8th grade (Sept 2018-May 2020) when he was enrolled in remote public school (VAVA). It was a rewarding, challenging, frustrating struggle. I was worried about him going to brick and mortar HS. In the meanwhile, Covid happened, and he was home with a tutor for most of 9th grade and part of 10th grade (Sept 2020 - Jan 2022).
To his credit, he gradually adapted to the neurotypical world enough to get along in it.
Now he is attending brick & mortar public HS, finishing 11th grade, taking 2 AP classes, learning German, and has a bunch of wonderfully weird friends.
He isn’t a swimmer like Jillian, but with a recent growth spurt, a decision to give up sodas, and regular walking, he is slim and trim. And tall! I love his curly hair.

Morning ladies

Hopefully she will just stay in her room this weekend.
She does this to herself..
I know poor Tracy is just exhausted from all of this.
