    MADDIE, I love the joke. It's so true too. My dh's 99 yr old aunt used to do most of her grocery shopping at the dollar store with all their preservatives.

    MARIE. Thanks for fixing my photo. I'll try again with another one

    We are so fortunate, ladies and the few great men on this board. I'll try Marie's hint about Photobucket and forgive me if it doesn't work!

    Buzz, I have made it to 6 glasses of water today. Not quite the 8 but I'm getting there. I still have to have my cups of tea, although I have cut them right down today. Thank you for the tip.:drinker: I love the photo and how true it is:heart:

    Maddie, how about some more jokes? I have been trying to get the hang of those dancers routine lol. I am determined:laugh:

    Marie, did you get your beets? I am supposing they are what we call beetroot. I love them, but have never had them roasted. Would love you to let me know if they are good or not:drinker:

    Sandy, How did the tutoring go with Zack today? You must be exhausted, I know I would be lol.:drinker:

    Donna, how are you feeling today? Hope you are feeling a bit better and can join us again soon.:flowerforyou:

    Jeri, Thoughts, prayers are lots of hugs are being sent to you every day. Try to stay positive. Easier said than done I know, but I do believe in positive thoughts, so sending them to you as well.:heart:

    I have had a quiet Friday evening. Usually full of noisy family, but they are all busy. Did'nt know what to do with myself and so I have been popping on and off here all evening:love:

    For those who don't know, I have lost 3lb:bigsmile: Had a fish n chip dinner tonight and hope I have not done any damage. Weighing again on Monday as suggested by Sandy & Barbie to keep me on the straight and narrow. Wish me luck:drinker:

    Good luck to all those who will be weighing in over the weekend:drinker:

    Good evening everyone. I've had a productive day first off hunting for a birthday present for a friend and then cutting the grass before the forecasted weekend of rain!! My garden is terraced so I have to lift the lawnmower up over retaining walls to get to each level. Now I'm ooh-ing and aah-ing every time I move!! A good nights sleep will have my muscles all relaxed by morning though I'm sure.

    Buzz ~ What a beautiful picture. I assume it is graffiti on someone's wall? Have you heard of Banksy? He creates the most amazing graffiti that now sells for many thousands of pounds in the UK. I think he is now operating in the States too so if you find he's been shaking a spray paint can towards one of your walls take great care of it!!

    Barbie ~ Great to hear the sun is finally shining on you. It was beginning to sound very serious with the amounts that were falling. I'm sure your frisky poodles will still have a great time even without the birds to chase!

    Jeri ~ Those tulips are gorgeous. I've only got a few in my garden and they faded quickly this year because of the unusually warm spring weather. Seeing your photo makes me think I must dig in more bulbs in the Autumn.

    Deb ~ My chipped tooth is fine in that it isn't painful. Typical NHS I have to wait for an appointment and my dentist is away for the whole of June so I will have to see a new one. I'm sure the receptionist said her name was Alicia Keys so I may get sung to as she drills!! Not until June 8th though so I will just have to avoid chewy bread!! I soaked the rye with cranberries loaf that caused the chipped tooth in warm water and fed it to the hens. Thought it the safest option since they don't possess teeth!!

    Maddie ~ Love to see your jokes and the dancers. You always give me a smile.:bigsmile:

    Marie ~ Did you buy those beets and roast them? One of my pre-diet favourites was roasted potatoes, beetroot and garlic with sea salt and olive oil drizzled over them. Oh well, I can dream!!

    The site seems to be reacting slowly tonight, or maybe it's my computer, so I'll say goodnight and head for my bed before something crashes!

    Jackie:flowerforyou:

    Another photo taken at Dow's Lake in Ottawa on our recent trip. It has been so dull and rainy, I need some nice bright flowers to make me smile.

    Cheers all.

    Jeri, the colours of those tulips just make me smile.You're right they do cheer us up on a dull rainy day:bigsmile:

    Marie, happy Saturday!

    Happy Saturday!! :bigsmile: Rained again last night (so what else is new) . The sun seems to be trying to peek out, but the forcast is for a cloudy day. Too bad, I was hoping for a hot day so I could take Zack to the pool today. :grumble:
    Things are going well with him, except for the home schooling. I had forgotten how to do fractions but with a little computer searching I finally remembered and was able to go ahead with his lesson. (thanks Connie for your help). My truck driver son is in and was staying with a friend who needs some privacy with his girlfriend, so Brad came here and we kicked Zack out of my guest room for Brad and I put Zack on a blow up mattress in my office. :tongue: Another week to go and hopefully my life will be back to normal. Babe goes Tuesday for an ultra sound on his foot and then to his doctor on Thursday where we hope she will put him in a boot so he can walk again. He is stir crazy and getting cranky, but who can blame him???:grumble:

    Jeri, I agree with Marie, your new profile picture is great as is the tulip picture. Thanks for sharing.

    Barbie, love your dancer, with how fast Betty Boop feet are moving, she should shed pounds fast.

    Jackie, you must be a strong lady to lift that mower over retaining walls, hope those muscles recovered.

    Deb, I have the same problem with water, I just don't drink enough of it. I am good after dinner with drinking water, but during the day I seem to forget. Maybe because I am too busy and never sit still.

    Buzz, love your picture and what a great graphic.

    Birdie, it was wonderful to see you have some time to post, that job just keeps interfering with your social life.

    Maddie, more cheering up for us please............I know we can count on your for these gloomy days.

    Have a great Saturday!!!
