Seniors Golden Sneakers Club for JUNE

Lafla

Hi everyone and a very Happy Father's Day to all the Dads. We have rain, rain, rain and we need it badly so won't complain about that. I cooked my brisket last night and my kids are coming to help prepare dinner. I better get my counters all cleaned and the floor washed -- I don't want them to see how lazy their Mom has been!! Counters can really accumulate stuff if you are not on them every day. We are eating early as one dil has to go to work at 6 and my son is playing hockey this evening. Hockey never stops here!!
Ellen -- I am also one of those lucky ones whose Dad was a railroader. My sister and I did a lot of traveling by train with our passes and didn't even know how lucky we were until later. I went to Nursing School in Edmonton and home was in Saskatchewan and I was so lucky to be able to travel home whenever I had a need to. I loved having a berth but usually didn't. Like Barbie, it was sleeping in the day coach. A couple of years ago we were on holiday and stayed in a hotel close to the tracks. During the night they were switching cars and I slept right through it. My husband didn't sleep all night. Felt like home to me.
Keep smiling. Gayla

Happy Father's Day Dads!!!! I wish my Dad was here with me - i told him next time he comes out i'll fix him a great meal in my new kitchen!

Barbie! You're up to 40 pounds lost!!!!!!:happy: That is AWESOME! Congratulations!!!!!!!! Isn't that awesome when you have a new picture of yourself that you actually LIKE? You're doing amazing! Glad Jake is up and around again and didn't take a week to recuperate! We get so many perks from living a healthy lifestyle!

Sandy - when do you leave for Vegas?

Ellen - I know we're getting closer with the house - but it's still a little overwhelming when i think of everything we still have to do. I was sitting over there today looking at all the wood i've stripped and then i realized i'll have to replace, sand and stain all the quarter round i pulled off:grumble: I'm still hoping to be able to move back in in Aug - even if it takes me another year to completely finish everything......

OK - hafta run - i'm waiting on my friend Jennifer to get back so hopefully we can grout the mud room. :yawn: I was up early this morning and painted the wainscoating in the bathroom before i made a home depot run.......then she needed some time to do stuff so i mowed a little and chain sawed down a bunch of suckers that were more like small trees:laugh: :yawn: Talk to you all soon! elli

Happy Fathers Day to all who this applies too, whether to a son, daughter, foster child, animal or whatever. Some of you might even be mother's but still like dad's to your kids. What ever the situation, Happy Father's Day!!!

I did a little shopping today and then we went to my step son's and over indulged in baby back ribs. I hate to tell you how many calories they had but let me tell you tomorrow's workout will be intense. :laugh:

I leave for Vegas July 4th, return July 11th and will get my new Old English Sheepdog, (Daisy Mae) on July 12. I have a lot to look forward to and am very happy. :bigsmile:

Will check in tomorrow, probably with a weight gain.

good morning everyone, I am fighting to stay awake. just popping in to say hello, and happy belated father's day.
Barbie, I love your new pic, new to me that is. Pink is a great color for you.
Marie, I got your photo, I just left off the ing at the end.. jpg should be at the end. It is so good, you look much younger than your age, have you been fooling us all this time?
Hope you and Jerry had a great Father's day, he is certainly a great husband, they need a husband day and a wife day, or would that be valentines day?
I can't believe I'm sleepy again, Jim woke me today, walked into the bedroom, held out his hand for me to shake and said congratulations!! ''I grumbled'' For What?... he said .. for sleeping til almost Noon!! Well, I must've needed it. We had a good time at the family get together Saturday, but I was tired.. the heat zaps me. I am not a beach bum.. more of a tree frog!!
hi to all of you, and hi to weaklink 109, whom I've not met.
goodnight!!

Hi Phoebe! so good to hear from you. It seems like you have been away for awhile. I suppose you will be heading back out soon. How is your yard doing this summer? It has been so dry here but we got rain all day today. Not great for the guys who wanted to golf but no one is complaining. Our kids golfed 27 holes yesterday. They were in a tournament for the first 18. They said they did 'ok' but did win some prizes. My dil's picture was in the paper running a marathon last weekend. She was happy with her time.
Marie -- thanks to Phoebe I got to look at your picture! What a wonderful surprise that must have been for you. You do look wonderful.
We had a nice time with the family for Father's Day. Time to start a new week. I will be glad to have leftovers tomorrow. I love leftovers, makes for a very relaxing day!

Good Morning,

It is going to be a hot week, I should be able to get that tan I want before getting to Vegas.

Scale wasn't as bad as I expected, it did show a pound gain but since there is so much salt in pork I am going to wait and see what tomorrow brings. You can be sure I will be eating very good today. :laugh:

Marie, I love your picture also, you look so beautiful. I would never believe you are 78 years old. What an inspiration you are to all of us.

Gayla, that is a lot of golfing your family did, they must love the sport. I never got into golf, was more a tennis buff, although I am paying for it now with bad knees. I envy your dil who runs, another thing I just never could do, but it is sure a good exercise. Glad you had a good Father's day as I hope everyone did.:flowerforyou:

Phoebe, you really must have been tired and deserved to sleep.:bigsmile: Are you going on the road again soon? That must be an exhausting job, no wonder you are tired. :laugh:

Jeff, hope you had a wonderful day with your girls. I know my son loves being with his daughter as much as he can. My other son has a college daughter and she is his only child, when she went away to college they were heartbroken but very proud. I am sure you feel the same. :happy:

Will check in with everyone a little later, have to get a move on here to get everything done if I want to get out in the sun today. :blushing:

Hugs,
Sandy

Skimmed thru some of your posts, wish I had time to respond, didn't even get to see your pic yet, Marie. But I will take the laptop on our trip and hope there are some places I can hook up to the net. '
Got to hit the road, have a good week all. talk to you later. Don't like the look of my scale this am at all, maybe I'll just wait and see if it being any kinder when we come back.

I had started thinking about actually putting on a swimsuit and going to the pool at this RV park north of Spokane, but when we arrived it was 55 degrees and raining. It rained on and off all afternoon and evening. I was able to walk enough to get my 10,000 steps but I was wearing my hooded sweatshirt, down, vest, gloves, and hat. There was something wrong with the interet and the cable TV so we had to entertain ourselves the old fashioned way, by reading and talking to each other.:laugh: :laugh:

Jake canceled his tee time :sad: and put off playing golf until tomorrow because it's so cold and windy. There's no rain so we've been walking a lot with and without the dogs. The internet is working :bigsmile: but not the cable TV.:sad:

We just finished a short nap and are headed out for another walk.:bigsmile: :bigsmile:

Thanks for sharing the picture, Marie, you two look great!

We just took a walk for almost an hour and saw all the beautiful houses near the golf course and RV park. They are 2,000-4,000 square feet with four or five bedrooms, three baths, and some extra family rooms and movie rooms and beautiful lawns. It felt good to come back to our cozy 30 foot motorhome and our cats and dogs. We love our life.

Pleasant dreams to all
Barbie

beyondchowhound

Hey thanks for helping me figure out how to see your picture Marie! It's a great one!!
I am going to our local Hot Springs today. Tired of all the rain and thought it might be a nice thing to do on a day off. I can fit into my bathing suit now, (barely) thanks to this site.

Sandydur

Went for massage today, played cards with my 86 year old male friend and then lunch with he and my husband. Tough life I have. :laugh:

I again have been lax on my exercising, but hopefully will get back on track tomorrow. I only have a week and a half to reach my goal, which I don't think will happen but will really try hard.

Chowhound, nice to hear from you. It sounds like you and Marie are good friends. Hope you enjoy reading our posts and for those of us who don't know you (like me) welcome. :flowerforyou:

Elli, I went back and looked at some of your new pictures of the house, is the tiny little girl holding the paint brush you? The house is coming along nicely, you should be very proud of yourself.

Marie, hope you are feeling okay and didn't overdo over the weekend. When do you go back to the doctor?

Jeff, girls still visiting you?

BGamma, we really, really miss you.

Gayla, Phoebe, Beth, Ellen ,Barb and Jake, hope you are all okay.

It is very hot here and they say another 90 degree day tomorrow. I think I will be at the pool with my granddaughter tomorrow, although I still have a little shopping to do. Think I will wait for a cloudy or rainy day to shop.

Sleep tight and sweet dreams.

Hi Everybody,
We're headed off to Trail, BC tomorrow. The passports and pet health records are out and ready to be shown at the border.

We'll be in an RV park without wifi so unless we go to the library to use the computer, you won't be hearing from us for at least a week.

Big hugs to all,
Barbie and Jake

I live about 45 minutes from Trail, Barbie. I work at the Nelson Daily News there. If you come this way, and it's very beautiful, and on the lake (well not our house) send me a private note and I'll give you my phone number. If you are swamped with stuff to do, it's no big deal, just if you want to. We are going to Penticton on Friday though for the Peach City Beach Cruise (collector cars, we have one, 1929)
and no we did not buy it new

Good Morning Everyone!

Thanks for all the Father's Day messages. We had a great visit with the girls. We now have our SIL with us for a week. More on that later. We are fine but it is quite hectic right now. You all take care and have a great day! I will catch up in detail later!

I posted a few minute ago. but don't see it must have forgot to send it.

good morning all,

Chowhound and i become friends on the Diabetic Support group here on this site. And we have become good fiends. I love her new pic , she is such a beautiful girl. and so kind to me just like all of you. I have a bunch of Angels out there looking out for me. I am so lucky to have all of you.
I have another good friend and that is Cindysunshine. She post on the 300 lb group, and what a huge lbs she has lost. Nearly 4 lbs everyweek, So proud of her. We PM each other. Have to admit I do butt in once in awhile and let her know how proud I am for her. She is an Ohio girl and her and her husband & kids moved to West Texas couple years ago. She is really into the exercise and good clean eating habbits. A good Model MFP Girl. Just like Barbie.

All of my Angels have a good day.
Marie

Hi Everyone,

Did an hour of Wii Active this morning, going to pool this afternoon and then to bingo tonight. :bigsmile:

It is going to be really hot here again today (95 or so) so might as well take advantage of the neighborhood pool while it is hot enough to go in the water. :laugh: It will be hotter than this in Vegas so I might as well get used to being hot.

A lot of our buddies are on the road and I wish them all safe trips. For those of us with extremely hot weather be careful, stay indoors if you are not in a pool and you don't have to do anything pressing.

Very happy to be part of this group and hope you all stay well.

Sandy

hi all spent a sec skimming posts, got to get back to the grill. fixing baby back ribs for jim. I don't like ribs.. although I'll taste one to see how they are. I'll be happy with a baked potato and corn on the cob and salad.. I've been pitting fresh cherries for cherry ice cream. I told jim I 'd prefer him eating reduced fat and sugar homemade over the breyers he usually gets. He loves homemade ice cream, so we have a deal. Cherries are on sale and oh so good, so it should be yummy for him
I don't want to burn the ribs, so I'll scoot
sandy, I love the wii, but wish I had more time to use it.. so far only the sports cd/ not yet trying fit and active.. hopefully, tomorrow!
bye

CALIECAT

Say Phoebe, How did the ribs turn out? i love ribs. We had another hot day here, too hot to think about cooking outside. This month is flying by. Soon it will be July. The hotest weather is yet to come. We reach 102 The last 2 days,

Kathy was here yesterday and was talking about having a fish fry out at her place for the family. But we would have to catch the fish in there stock tank first and its too hot for that too. Jerry goes fishing everytime we go down there. Ricky has it stock with Catfish. and they have been having babies so it is pretty well sock up. The dogs and ducks like it too. And snakes. My grandson went down there one day and found a big catfish trying to eat a big snake and pulled the snake out of the fish mouth. Way to big of a meal for that fish.

Say you guys have a nice day.

Love Marie
