    Want to share something with you all....on my ticker is the weeping tree next to my sidewalk, my drive-way and a tree in the middle of my drive. I have an alarm on my drive that lets me know when someone or something is around. It went off so I went to the pc room(was my son's room until he married..has a 6'x6" window) pulled back the shade and peered out. There were 5 deer there eating off the trees, shrubs and ornamental grasses that edge my sidewalk. You can see basically the same scene from this window that is on the ticker except you can see more trees and drive to the left. These deer were within arms length part of the time if my window had been raised...I couldn't believe it:noway: Just had to share...:smile:

    Hi everyone!! I got back early this morning after a wonderful 6 days in Victoria, British Columbia. We did lots of walking and sightseeing. The weather was mostly good, a light rain on a couple of days which is to be expected on the West Coast. We had our umbrellas and it didn't slow us down. The skating was very good and I think we are sending some good skaters off to the World Championships. The temperature here has been very nice the last few days and I am hoping it stays that way for awhile (I have been spoiled after only a few days).

    Neil missed coming home for the weekend but Dave was madly painting while I was away. He completed the entryway, hallways, family room and kitchen. I really like the colour. Now he wants to get going on the new flooring. What a lot of work. If I was clever enough to send a picture I would! Tomorrow we are taking Neil to get his new shoes!

    I am really disappointed. I am tired but stayed up to watch the Nadal tennis match and it never did come on. Guess I will go to bed. I know they will show some of it tomorrow.

    Marie -- I remember that you and Jerry were going for tests but after quickly looking at the posts I didn't see if you mentioned results. I hope all is well. Sorry if I missed the post about them.

    Take care everyone and keep smiling. Gayla :heart:

    It's snowing here AGAIN today. We are right on the line that decides if we're getting a lot, the middle or a little. (Yeah, I'm a poet) :glasses:

    There are corn fields on two sides of our house and I wish we would see more deer. It's so open in the winter, that I think they may be afraid. But, the last year that we had a lot of snow, there were a hoof marks all over the yard like the deer had had a race or something. I can see why Lynn was so exited. :happy:

    I would also like to know if any of Marie's test results are in. Still worried about you and Jerry...Come on girl, how are you guys feeling? :flowerforyou:

    I'm wondering if JoAn is in a rehab facility working on her knees. Maybe that's why she hasn't popped in????? :flowerforyou:
    I was in rehab for several weeks...I'll tell you about it if anyone is interested but let me just tell you the first day, I was in such bad shape that they had two people lifting me under my arms and one lifting in the back by my underwear trying to weigh me. What a wedgie!! And you know that weight was correct, don'tcha......:laugh:

    British Columbia is a place I would like to visit. I'm sure it will never happen but a girl can always dream!!

    And, where are our new friends???? Come on in girls and sit a spell. :drinker:

    One more thing. ..... I've dipped under a number that has been a goal for awhile. I'm hoping it's still there tomorrow when I weigh in to post......please, please, please!!!!! :happy:

    Hi all. Marie husband Jerry goes in for surgery on Friday.
    joann will probably not visit for awhile,but it will be a good feeling to see all us asking about her while she is away.
    i think the south beach diet is a good one to follow, i guess the met.mirle works coz I am a junk food junkie, and I need to break that bad habit !
    I love watching deer grazing by our house. Try a bag of. Deer corn. We used to feed them in the winter but someone tried bowhunting them on our property so we stopped feeding them.
    see ya later

    thanks for the welcome,this seems like a very good site, easy to follow.Why is it so hard to lose the last few pounds.I have managed to keep off most of the weight I lost last year but 4 or 5 pounds crept on over the holidays.We are leaving on our annual trip to Jamaica Feb 12 so I know if I don't do something to get on track before then, I will be in trouble.Trying to up the walking, hopefully you guys are my motivation.Have a great day!!

    Hi everyone! This will be short as I am on my iPad and it takes a little more time. Just the usual running around kind of day. I am checking for a WW meeting close to my work.

    Marie -- thinking about Jerry and, of course, you. I hope the surgery goes well. So glad Alice will be with you. Take care.

    Jo-an -- you are also in my thoughts. Get well soon.

    Take care everyone, glad to read your interesting posts.

    Sandy - Did you watch American Idol last night? I believe Chris Medina, the last contestant whose story includes his devotion to his fiancee, Juliana Medina are from Itasca. At least the Laurus Foundation which has set up a fund to help pay for some of Juliana's medical expenses is from Itasca.

    The story of this young couple has really rocked me. His voice is equaled only by his integrity. I'm proud to walk the same earth with this man. I was also impressed with the gentle way rocker Steven Tyler interacted with her.

    When I see Juliana's struggle it puts my problems with my weight in perspective.
