I think those Care bears are the cutest things since Winnie the Pooh! You did a great job on them. How long did it take to make one?
Is that zinnias. I love them! They grow so easily, and such bright colors. Sometimes I just open a bag of potting soil, dump it on the ground, then sprinkle several packs of zinnia seeds on it. Makes an easy cut flower source. I have a spot for them if we get home to plant it.
shirley, I love lilacs, planted on in the backyard, so far it bloomed one year. It is growing strong, so, flowers or not, I like it.Mothers Day coincides with spring and flowers, do you think it was planned that way by some smart men? Lol!, probably florists!
Marie, I think the five lbs is total on mfp, not weight watchers. About three on weight watchers since I last logged in there. Will update either way when I weigh at home. Should be home by Thursday or Friday.
thats interesting that they put the plan in the mag without having to use the points. Hope all of you are well, not flooding. Or parched! Lol

Connie my grandughter has a bird nest like yours or what ever it is call. She has a new camera took some amzing shots of her dogies running.

MADDIE, so good to see you back! It's tough getting used to , but you are and have been a real trouper, and the icecream will disappear shortly. It may have been your main comfort, and don't most of us need that once in a blue moon? Stay well now!
PHOEBE, those lilies are gorgeous, as is the flower picture MARIE's grandaughter shot!
MARILYN, I'm afraid to ask....Just how many jobs are you juggling? And weight is a problem for you??? :noway:
MARIE, I think I've asked why on earth you aren't wearing compression knee socks. Sounds like my problem when I don't wear mine! Mine are 30/40 compression, and you need a prescription for them, and Medicare will pay for 2 pair a year. I get the ones with the silicone band on top, and mine are made by JUZO.. Ask your doctor if they'd help. dear. My legs are slim now!
SHIRLEY, it seems Comcast was working on the lines in my area (I learned today), and internet transmission was screwed up! I did my anti virus scan, my Ad-Aware, Registry Mechanic, and Malwarebytes scans all last night, and I'm clean!!! And it IS working today!
GIGI and JERI, glad you had a nice Mothers Day...separate, of course!!!
DONNA, I hope I congratulated you on coming along so far! That's a wonderful Medical Center, too, so you've picked the best!
JACKIE, do you celebrate Mother's Day?

I think the refrigerator is finally ready, but the waater doesn't seem to get as cold from the dispenser as we were used to. Perhaps it isn't ready yet. Florida's pipes are not very far below the surface, as it's all coral down below. When it comes out of the faucet, sometimes it can wilt the lettuce as I wash it! Never had water that warm before, and after 17 years, I'm still not used to it! My teeth used to freeze from the cold water in New England! Have a good evening, everyone!

It didn't take long Phoebe, I didn't save my pattern for them Wish i did.

My squirrels would not like that.They really don't like to share with the birds. I enjoy watching them. As far as I know we only have one squirrel That is ll we see at one time. That look like a nice feeder. We have a bird bath but Jerry has wires on it to keep them out of the water.

:flowerforyou: we had a busy house related day. First we met with the house inspector and the real estate agent for a home inspection on the house we want to buy if we can ever sell ours. It went well and there were no scary surprises. Everything works well although we'll have to buy a new water heater soon and replace a few of the windows. The inspector couldn't try the air conditioner because it's still too cold here (it has to be at least 65 degrees outside and it's nowhere near that here yet) but we know that the furnace works great.:bigsmile: On the way home we got a call from another realtor who wanted to show our house to someone as soon as possible so we had to rush home, vacuum, dust, clear off surfaces, hide the clutter, kick the cats out, hide the litter box, and pack up the dogs and get out of the house. I'm thankful for our Isagenix shakes because it was easy to make a healthy lunch quickly that didn't leave food odors.:bigsmile: On the suggestion of the realtor we headed a pot of chocolate chips and sprayed the house with vanilla air freshener so everything would smell good :bigsmile: We ran a few errands and took the dogs to the dog park and then came home and put everything back where it belonged. :bigsmile:

Hello Sneakers,

Thank you for your get well messages. Feel much better now. I thought I had almost come to the end of menopause, but sadly not! So now I am back to square one waiting for another clear year.(If it's true what I hear that is).
I have had a strange couple of days really. My friends daughter had her first baby, a boy, making my friend a first time grandmother! My other friends son was taken into hospital with a kidney complaint, he has suffered with his kidneys from birth. He is waiting on biopsy results. I had a bit of a run in with some school kids who were obviously truanting from school. They were outside my house throwing the gravel against my windows (I have a gravel drive). When I asked them to stop,they just got mouthy and threw them even more, then ran away, but came back a couple of more times. They then threw a huge chunk of concrete at my door, but luckily they were a poor shot! I could'nt give chase cos I had my little grandaughter here, I was looking after her. I reported them to the school, but I don't suppose anything will happen. 26 years I have lived here and never had a days trouble. I was so mad!
Well, got that off my chest lol Thanks ladies for letting me rant.

I loved all the jokes and the pictures of the flowers and birds.

Connie did you buy the bird feeder or make it? We have a problem with squirrels. They take everything.

Sandy: Glad you are home safe but you sound exhausted. Make sure you get some rest before setting off again. Well done on keeping your weight down.

Marie: That is a lovely picture of you and your mum. When was it taken?

Jackie: Congratulations on your huge loss. That is amazing and well deserved.

Barbie: Good luck with your house sale. I hope you manage to sell soon. Sounds exhausting and stressful.

Shirley: I took a peek at the photos of your boat. Looks wonderful, how lovely to be able to take to the sea when you fancy! By the way, I love your profile pic too.

Jeri: Whats happened to your back? I hope its not too serious and that you are back on your feet soon.

Phoebe: Have you taken your head out from under the cover yet ? lol

Maddie: It was so good to hear from you. Take your time, it is a great healer. Great cliche but o so true.

Judy: You posted while I am posting. I loved it!

Buzz: How you getting on with the fridge?

Marilyn: Hope you are not wearing yourself out with all your jobs. When do you start your new job?

I know I have missed some names, Elli, Judi, Lynn L, Donna, You are all doing great. Take care.

Hi all, Shirley, waxing a boat counts as exercise, I hope. Sounds like a big job. Good way to tan too. We have a lake to put it in if you wanna make the trip!
welcome home Sandy, for however short the time may be! Enjoy your week, and your time with DH and Daisy, I know they have missed you...we did too!
Judy, thats a good one, lol
marie, good for you, getting some water weight off!
deb, so sorry you had wild ones today, sorry it is a shame that too many kids are growing into hoodlums. It can spoil more than a day for victims, changing your outlook on your own home ground. Be vigilant, you might be able to snap their photo if they come back.,or you may see them walking around when you are out, get their pics. Also, not to scare you, but make sure everything is locked up, in case they return when they see you leave the house.
Feeling kind of yucky myself today, gonna try for a nap.
