Heather: Totally understand not liking the faff of booking on line. I liked it better when I could go into our local travel agent and let them do the work.Allie-haven't you been on an antibiotic for the crud just recently? You need to get to doctor tomorrow if no major improvement.
Allie: So glad you went to the drs. Take care of yourself.
Tracey: Happy Birthday and
🥳 Congrats 🥳 on the 👶🏻 baby 👶🏻 news
The rain has passed temporarily so going out into the garden.
Tomorrow is our 57th Anniversary. We plan to have our usual celebration meal and crack a bottle of bubbly.
Smoked salmon
Fillet steak with stir fry veg
Strawberries and ice cream or tiramisu

And here ya go.. stupid me .. in and out of drs appointment ,labs,xrays etc...
If you have COVID, you should probably plan to stay home with NO contact with others for at least a week ... possibly more.
Do you have COVID at home or telehealth services where you are?

6 dozen filled and in the freezer to chill for an hour before heading to church.
First potluck I have been to in a long time
Four flavors to choose from- lemon, mango, pineapple and chocolate.
Also made a gallon of unsweetened iced tea. Usually they have water or sweet drinks(lemonade, punch, sweet tea)
Will bake salmon tonight-was going to last night but son went out with his friends from elementary school(LOVED hearing the four boys in the room laughing again. One is on leave from the Navy after being stationed in Japan.Known these boys since son was in kindergarten or first grade.) and dh ate at his mom's.
Will make rice(dh has to have his Japanese sticky rice) and some veggies- tons of fruit to choose from- cherries, peaches,grapes, melon, tangerines, bananas and apples.
Having my tea now before getting dressed. Glad I got up when I did so I am not rushed.

Banana cream, coconut cream, cinnamon, pumpkin, blueberry would be good flavors. Out of those flavors, I’m a chocolate chooser.

Evie ~ Happy Birthday! What beautiful flowers from your son and his wife.
Tracey ~ Great photo of you, hubby and happy pregnant daughter.
Allie ~ Healing thoughts for you! Glad Flea reminded you not to take the paxlovid.
Rebecca ~ So happy you will be able to stay in your home and that older son will be assigned to a port that he will like.
Lisa ~ Glad your test results were favorable (except for the colitis).
Debbie ~ Great news that your time keeping Ezie is working in your favor. And, yes, those pastries look delicious. If day care doesn’t work out, you could probably be hired to be a chef with no problem.
After all the trouble with tendonitis in both ankles, now my bad knee is giving me fits. Having to use DH's cane but hoping extra strength acetaminophene will help. I really need another knee replacement, but, I cannot count on my DH to help me after the surgery as he has as much problems walking as I do.

Oh, Allie. You should call your doctor immediately, if you haven't already. So sad for you.

Reading along. Overwhelmed with issues at my mom's place. Fortunately, with my contract change, I've had July off so haven't had to worry so much about work. This is my final full week off. A little sad. Retirement looks really tempting, but I am going to stick it out.
You all are doing so well, taking care of yourselves. You are an encouragement!

Yes!
Allie, with all your health issues, your medical professionals need to know (by phone first) so they can help you.

Lovely relaxing past 5 days off including a short trip out to the countryside. 😀
I think I would enjoy a couple months of that but meanwhile I will take what I can get.
Ate eggs last evening for the first time in a long time ... yep, there's a reason I don't eat eggs. Upset digestive system.
Back to work tomorrow and I have a list of work stuff and a list of personal stuff kilometres long to do.

Sending love Allie!! ❤️
These are the boxes we painted. Really enjoyed it, but lots of concentration required.
L to R , DH, Edie and me.
I was channelling my inner Matisse as it's going on my dressing table under a blue Matisse cut out.
This is Edie's close up.
Bea is here now after a long afternoon at Art Club. She is tired and crochety. Poor thing.
Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

Went out and cut flowers from my garden before the heat hits!!!! This is the other vase I have from Venice. My mom bought this when she went. I like this one from shorter flowers and the tall one for long stem.

My birthday was on Friday and our son and his family brought me this lovely bouquet! And a gift card to Michaels, they are my enablers, lol!
Lisa, I’m so glad to hear you have more energy and are feeling better in general after your procedure. I hope it continues!
Rori, your job just sounds wonderful! The variety of events would definitely keep boredom from setting in!
Kim, I’m in shock that your mom would even suggest her moving in with you! And $300 a month?? Yikes!!
Michele, I didn’t realize PJ was almost 4 already! Hope Denise gets back to you about a date for you to go up there. Have you suggested that you and Vince could look after PJ while her and Pete go to his grandmothers house?
Rebecca, I have to comment on an old comment of yours, something about being the weirdo in the group. That may be true, but you are our weirdo and we love you just the way you are!
Lanette, loving the chicken stories and pics! So nice that at least one of them has started laying!
Once again, I’m sure there are many other posts I wanted to comment on, but memory fails yet again! Hugs for those needing them, congrats to those celebrating and welcome to any new gals!
Evelyn, Vancouver Island
Your token weirdo. I like that! A post I will gladly take up, wear proudly, sticking it directly on my forehead!😁🤗. Love ya!
Well today its rainy, and gray out. My nose told me before I even glanced outside. I don't need no weatherman! My sinus-odometer works fine with any climate change.🙄

Hi Gals,
Lisa in AR (etc) I can count on you to make a story so real by your word use “ My stars and whiskers, I was not always bright then, and there were times my military enlistment hung by a thread... My honorable discharge at four years was a triumph of no small proportions.” I could just see you flirting, doing the duck and cover out to cut a cast off to go dancing….
I would love to see the northern lights from anywhere – and from the air had to be really cool. We don’t have fireflies in California either and that is something else I would love to see.
Sounds like a few of you could “MAC” flight – Rebecca to Japan, Lisa to Hawaii, ……
I think I have mentioned I have been swimming, and I think I am stronger for it, and am getting close to ½ mile in about an hour or so…. I am stopping every 30 min for a 2-3 min breather….BUT I know I am not doing myself as much good as I could be as I get out of the pool, drink the better part of my 32 ounce water bottle, and then am STARVING and am making horrible choices. I stopped at the market on my way home today – swimming and this market are both on the other side of town. I bought and ate on the way home 610 calories of an ice cream treat! What the kitten was I thinking…. Today was the worse choice yet, but for some of you exercisers what do you do about the after exercise hunger? The protein bars are almost inedible in my mind the texture is to gloopy, gummy, sticky for my taste. And I do have a sweet tooth ( or maybe more than one – so sweet teeth)
Kim in N. California
Swimming is high energy, especially when you are lap swimming. I remember swimming and I would feel sweaty, that's when you know you're working hard. I would keep nuts in the car, walnuts, or almonds. You could always keep a cooler in the car, and treat yourself to a prepared salad. Either from a store, or make up a big Mason jar of layered ingredients, that you could shake and chow down. Either way your body is telling you, "I need fuel now". Listen and feed her.🙃💖

Today is Monday, you know what day that is?!! Its mealless Monday! So my eating window opens up tomorrow at noon. A day to not fix meals, kitchen is only to get black coffee and water from. Hopefully I won't be fixing too much for husband. I am just a line cook if I do. Not my time.

Kim, Besides trying other protein bars, how about cheese or peanut butter. Sugary treats just fool your body into thinking they are helping. I see others have already made excellent suggestions. I am a fan of string cheese, apples, and Isagenix bars.
I avoid listening to or reading any news at all. The world will be neither improved nor worsened by my knowing or not knowing what is going on. I need to protect my own sanity and stress level in any way that I can.
Barbara, I am sad to hear about fires in your beautiful part of the world. I love all those trees.

Happy Monday ladies!
Evie - happy belated Birthday.Lovely flowers. Interesting about Cardone - I agree, I get rid of/ block negativity whenever and wherever I can. Like Lisa - don't watch local or network news, get the weather report from the internet and local news from the online newspaper - even that isn't worth reading very often so I check the obits, lol. Best part - it's all free.
Kim - an idea for something when you finish swimming (way to go!!) and are famished - I am hooked on those Oikos Triple Zero yogurt cups. 90 calories each, 15 grams of protein, sweetened with Stevia. Of course the finishing decadent touch, for me, is a little squirt of Reddi Whip - I haven't found any sugar free so I go for the original. Only 1 gram of sugar so I don't fret. Maybe if you have a little cooler you could take one or two of these little cups along? (Again, thanks to Katiebug).
Carol - I am so sorry your knee is now bugging you and getting a replacement is hard because of your DH's own problems. Are there visiting physical therapists or nurses that could come to the house? I think about challenges with recovery from surgeries too since I have no one in the house to lean on. Right now I know Roger's wife would be glad to help me. In a year or two? I try not to worry about what may or may not come down the pike. Things have always worked out.
Margaret - thank you for sharing that bouquet of flowers from your garden. And the vase is exquisite.
Heather - those boxes are adorable. What nice keepsakes or gifts. I see similar for sale at craft shows.
Flea - glad to see you popping in. Glad you had some time off and sorry your mom's estate is still wearisome. Sending you energy!
Rebecca - great news about your son being in Japan and your housing settled. Happy for you! Loved your food "stash" in your cupboards, by the way. We share a lot of the same tastes.
Rita - it's humid, cool and light rain falling right now (Hooray-we needed it.) But, my house really smells like dog. And I'm sure it's a source of my allergies too. If my budget can take the hit, I need to look at getting the carpeting replaced next year. I'm torn - while there's nice laminate and wood flooring available, there's also the warmth that carpeting brings to floors and the fact that it dampens noise. I have time to investigate all of this.
Machka - don't you have an MRI for your knee coming up shortly? Glad you could get some riding in.
Allie - glad you went and had your "cold" checked out. Hope the meds get you feeling better fast.
Getting ready to make "hamburger steaks". I found an old package of frozen ground beef in the freezer that I'll spruce up with egg, breadcrumbs, and some spices.
Have a fabulous Monday!
