    I spent a lovely girls weekend with my best friend of 44 years...we met in 1st grade...and a few of her friends ..we spent the weekend in the heart of the Adirondacks. The fall foliage was spectacular even though the weather misted and drizzled all weekend. Friday night we had an impromptu dance party...not my usual thing but had fun with it and actually learned 2 line dances...I now see the fun of that. I will be googling looking for some Dvds or maybe youtube...any suggestions? The eating and drinking does not even bear thinking about let alone actually logging:blushing: so will be starting fresh tomorrow.

    Enjoy the rest of your Sunday all.

    High fives, hugs and prayers..quite possibly the secret of life:happy:
    :heart:

    Everything that was on my deck is now tucked away in the garage until next spring. Weeds chopped down.

    Wishing everyone well. See you on the October 2012 thread.

    Here's to you.

    Kathy - I really wish the US was more like Europe in their portion sizes. In Europe at least they don't give you tons and tons of food. It would also be nice if you could order a 1/2 portion and be charged 1/2 the price. Oh, they'll give you 1/2 portion, but you're going to pay full price.

    Viv - I can be a big snacker when I'm at home. But I don't seem to snack as much when we're in FL. The interesting thing is that when we get back to NC, I don't snack as much (for a while)

    DeeDee - that's so frustrating when you leave the refrig door open. Ours has a chime on it when you leave the door open, even just a smidge so that you can't see it. Yet, the other day there was this "frost" in the freezer, almost as if I'd left the door open a bit. Yet, I don't remember the chime going off. Well, it wasn't real bad. Nothing got rouined. You can look at it this way...you had a very good reason to throw out the food that you really didn't want....lol. Wow! 8"! That's fantastic!!!!

    Did an hour of balance games on the Wii today, then made chicken for us to have during the week and some to put in the freezer. Tomorrow I'll do some yoga and then take the extremepump class.

    Warm welcome to everyone new

    Deborah - please tell me more about the Easter paska. A western European thing, I'm thinking??

    Vince and I walked on the new concrete!!! And we didn't even need our "crummy" shoes. The red clay is NASTY stuff so I have a pair of shoes that every time I went by the pool (in the mud or whatever), I put those on. today I just carried them and when I had to go off the concrete, I put them on. But it was so nice to be able to wear decent shoes (oh, the little things). I did some crafting and Vince dug a trench. See, there's this one drain pipe that will be extended to a drain but until then, he just wanted to dig a short trench so that if it rains, the water isn't going to be around the concrete.

    Jen - the Adirondacks must have been spectacular! I remember when we lived in Stroudsburg (PA) they had a hot air balloon rides the first weekend in Oct since that's when the leaves were turning. How lovely you got to spend time with your friend.

    jane - glad you had such a nice time at the shower.

    Well, off to watch TV, then to bed. See you all in October.

    Good time tomorrow starts another month because I feel like I need a fresh start! Didn't eat the best this weekend but I'm not going to beat myself up over it! I'm ready to get back into things full swing tomorrow and I love that I have all of you to motivate and support me!:heart: Still working on my new goals and have to evaluate myself on how I did with my Sept. ones. We did get a log cabin doghouse for our little feral outside cat but I'm not sure if he's going to use it. Other than that, pretty uneventful weekend, but sometimes that's a good thing!

    Lin- Good for you! Sounds like you got a lot accomplished this weekend!:drinker:

    See you all tomorrow!

    kathyszoo - Yes, I do look younger than 53 in that picture - why do you think I chose that picture!!! Seriously, I could post some where you would think, "She's only 53??"

    :bigsmile: I am back from the retreat where I ate too much of the healthy food and snacks, walked a lot, and got a huge burst of spiritual energy and wonderful uplifting experiences of being with friends.

    I have not had time to read any of the posts......my friend from California who came for the retreat has come home with me for a few days so I will be busy......she loves to walk so I'll be active.

    :flowerforyou: I'll be back soon with the link to the new thread for October

    :heart: Barbie from NW Washington

    Another beautiful early autumn day – sunny and just right for walking the dogs. :glasses: Took them along the abandoned railway track and laughed watching them get startled by all the grasshoppers flying up in front of them. Their coats were full of seeds and burrs at the end though so we had to do some grooming too. That was a good thing because they’ve started to blow their coats already and I really don’t need all that hair blowing around the house – thank fortune for “The Furminator”. :bigsmile:

    Wessecg – absolutely amazing – what a great change!!!!! YAY for you.:flowerforyou:

    DeeDee - 8 inches is really great. Good going. You must be turning it into muscle.:flowerforyou:

    CheriSuzanne – welcome, come on back and visit us. We’re a friendly and supportive bunch.

    Deborah – nice to meet you. Where in BC are you planning on retiring to? And where are you now? Oh wow, Easter Paska – are you Mennonite?? My MIL (bless her soul) used to make us Paska every Easter. My daughters now make it in memory of her and the wonderful woman she was. :heart: (And a whole lot of other baking too).

    Barbie – your retreat sounded great and enjoy your visit with your friend. We’ll still be here when you post again.

    I’m still working on the wardrobe – I cannot believe how many clothes I have (or had that is). Tops and sweaters can be quite forgiving, but blazers and suits and pants – not so much. I’m heading off to the coast and Vancouver Island come Thursday so hopefully I will be able to pick up a few things.

    This is going to be a really short post (Upstairs Downstairs has returned to PBS and I’m looking forward to it – I loved it in the 70s/80s?)

    Bye for now,
    Have a good evening and chug chug chug that water.
