Hi misfits!
Like Marie said, by Christmas, folks will think we are in an actual Easter challenge so it is best to move.
We can make this just as cozy as our old home!

We visited this lavender farm this afternoon and bought four plants to put in our yard after we clear away some bushes we don't like.
This is the weekend I veer off my eating plan to have lavender ice cream....today it was lavander white chocolate. The actual festival starts tomorrow so we wanted to get out for a bit before the huge crowds arrive for the weekend. Barbie 0 -

Esther is your town within walking distant of your house I need to get a map out and check Alaska out.
How did your family settle in Alaska? nosey aren't I
Marie0 -
That's ok Marie. Most people are nosy about Alaska. My house is 2 miles away from the cruise ship dock. Not really that far but my house is up at about 600 ft above sea level. And our main road (State Highway 1) is 30 feet above sea level. So I have steep hills to go back up to get home so I drive to the bottom and walk. City limits are only 3.5 miles long and .5 miles wide. I like google maps. It shows all the streets in town. We actually had the Google car here a few years ago. It was kinda cool.
My family has actually been in the state since the gold rush of '98. My great-grandfather came north in a 20 foot row boat and a black lab when he was 16. He ended up in Nome for a bit. He was in the Yukon for a bit but then he ended up settling in Wrangell,the next town north of here by 90 miles. My grandma was born and raised there. She went south to boarding school and college. My grandfather was actually a friend if her brothers. She ended up in a sanitarium for TB in her early 20's and the only way she was allowed to leave was if she had "someone to take care of her". So she married my grandpa. My grandpa was in WW II and my dad was born in Coos Bay Oregon, ironically where my great-grandpa had left in a row boat from. After being discharged from the army they moved back to Wrangell. My dad was raised there. He left after high school to go to college. He met my mom on a blind date. After college and working for the army corps of engineers he went to work for the forest service and transferred up to Ketchikan. We moved up here in March of '75. I was 1 1/2 years old. Been here since. And now my kids are being raised here. They are the 4th generation raised in Alaska.
Here is a pic of the north end if town. "Town" extends 16 miles past the city limit sign north. And 14 miles past city limits to the south.

I didnt know we were moving, but I am here, too.
Barbie-Thank you for telling me about the caories in your meal.
Today I went and visited 2 of my sisters, we found out yesterday, the one in the nursing home, may get to go home at the end of next week, it everthing continues to improve. The nursing home is near my oldest sister, I took her tomatoes, bacon, and pork loin we cooked last night, it was really good. I am the youngest of 4, so I feel responsible for certain things. My other sister just retired from the post office this week, I will be glad to see more of her, we're the healthier ones and we both are in the caretaker mode, last year my oldest sister broke her ankle and I helped her alot, she is also diabetic since the age of 13, not complaining, my sisters and I have always been close.

Its beginning to look like home again. So many of you posting.
Thank you
Marie0 -
Oh hello new home!
Thank you everyone who complimented my kittens. I'm glad you all liked seeing them, they're so stinkin' cute! 
I figured out tonight they are Maine Coon cats. They're going to be gorgeous all grown up. And yes, we're keeping them. If they weren't with me, pieces of my heart would be missing. I love my babies.
I hope to see lots of photos hanging here in our new home!

Good morning, misfit losers! Happy Friday!
Welcome to the new abode!
Ignore the group leaders listed (except me, of course)! I was deleting old members and accidentally clicked leader on the Heather member and could not change it. I could start a new group if you guys want a truly "brand new house."
Marie and I bought this used one but could always build one from the ground up!! (No pun intended 
)
Steph..we moved because as we get closer to December, an Easter challenge will be something folks will want to join so it's best to let that old thread die out. Plus, Mama Marie put it on her request list! Have a safe trip!
Barbie..you look wonderful..so fit and trim!
Esther.. Alaska is beautiful!
Ray.. How is the house buying going? We're still discussing it, but will probably take the plunge.
Janice..good news about your sister being able to come home, and it is such a blessing that she has you and your other sister to care for her. I bet it is fun talking to them about growing up together.
Eninad, Nancy, Ruthie, Cristina, Becky..welcome home! Have a seat on the floor until we pick out some furniture!
Personal training and pool today for me. It will be nice to get back to the pool; I have missed it.
Make it a great day, losers!
Connie
*** okay..was able to get her name off leader list..0 -
Good Morning! I found some really nice chairs at a garage sale and got them for our new "home". Hope you all enjoy sitting in them.lol moving on...
Had Mexican yesterday and did well with portions. I brought my own baked tortilla chips so I could enjoy the salsa and some queso without eating the fried chips. I did notice last night that I was very thirsty. I guess all of the salt.
Happy Friday everyone...stay strong this weekend!
Ruthie0 -
Good morning misfit look like most of you came to our housewarming party. Shirley is out on her yoga cruise having a ball. Eating all of those vegetarian meals. Wish I was there can hardly wait till she gets back to tell us about it.

Connie -Thank you, It is great news, that my sister is coming home next Thursday or Friday, though we still have some concerns. I really dont talk about growing up with my sisters, they are 5, 61/2, and 8 years older than me, they have plenty of stories about growing up with each other, I'm in very few. I was the pesky little sister, but they all were really good to me. My mom and dad got divorced when I was not even one, so I grew up in a house full of women.
Marie-I 'm sure your kitties will be fun, you'll have to post a picture of them.Your lunch sounds good. I cooked supper early today, I made a turkey/ beef meatloaf, I like to mix the 2 meats to make it lighter, also some broccoli and cauliflower with alittle cheese sauce. I have the premade Bob Evans mashed potatoes to go with it. Its really hot here today, so I wanted to run oven early. I am going to get out in my little pool in alittle bit, the water was nice last night when we got in.
Have a good weekend everyone. Janice0 -
I'm really liking the new digs! The chairs are comfy, Ruthie, and all the pictures look great on the walls!
I was off today for my mammogram and a million and one errands and things to do around the house. We wanted to find a playhouse swing set for Joseph and Emily for when they are here. I went on Craig's list and found a very nice one that was easily 1,500 or more new. It's only $350 and we are driving 2 hrs on Sunday to Chantilly VA to disassemble and transport it back home. It's supposed to be sweltering with high humidity and 96. So we plan to head out early and arrive around 8:30 to beat the worst heat. We can reassemble it either late in the cooler part of Sunday afternoon or during the week nights.
Next weekend we will be helping our son, Joshua, and his fiance, Jennifer, tear out carpet and paint their new townhouse they are buying today. They live near Baltimore about 1.5 hrs away.
Tomorrow we will work around the house, go to the dump with trash and recycling, and then head down to see Jessica and her family. I promised Joseph last night as I was putting him to bed that Poppi and Mimi would come on Saturday to play. I also have lots of products and a plan for treating poor little Emily's terrible eczema. the RX steroids are way to harmful over time to such young skin. I think I've found a regimen that just might finally heal her raw baby skin. I'm praying it does, as it is so itchy and painful for such a sweet 11 month old.
I did chest yesterday with the trainer and HIIT stepping and was careful with my sore shoulder. It is still somewhat sore, but getting better. Eating on plan and feeling pretty good. My belly felt uber swollen yesterday, not sure why. Here's hoping there's no gain with my new plan over time... It's a work in progress and I am enjoying the ride. the accountability is my ticket!!!
Connie, I would LOVE to be able to swim. There's not a pool around where I live, plus I color my hair and it would probably get too dry and fade to quickly.
Marie, I can't wait to see pics of your fur babies! What are there names and how old are they?
Rachel, Maine Coon are beautiful cats. Lots of brushing keeps the furballs to a minimum.
I'll check back in most likely on Monday as the weekend is jam-packed with activities for us.
Enjoy and Barbie, eat some lavender ice cream for me!
Becky0 -
Marie, I'm so happy to hear you have two baby boys now too!! Please post pictures! How old are they? It's good that you got a pair of them, they'll keep each other company and will get a lot of the play time they need with each other.
Your taco bowl sounds delicious, I want one!
Connie, we are now in the "silent period" of the house process. We have paid for the appraisal and are now waiting on the bank to do the appraising. And then the process of pushing the loan through begins. I was told this will take around 2 weeks, and we're several days into it, so I'm hoping to hear back about the appraisal soon. I'm concerned it may come back too low and the sellers won't come down to the appraised value, so I'm really needing to hear back with the appraisal! I want to be able to get excited about the house.
It sounds like you're going full blast with your house process, I'm super excited for you! It sounds like it will be absolutely lovely.
Becky, brushing will be key, for sure! Gotta keep them all poofed up.
Have an awesome night, everyone!!0 -
Hi everyone,
Busy day just getting a chance to check in with you and log my food.
Hope you had a good day.
I cooked fresh veggies today and really enjoyed having something different
for a change (corn, pea's, squash and tomatoes).
Good night.

I need to get up early and go to my sisters aparyment, thats in the nursing home, she has been gone over 2 months, my niece and one of my sisters are going to meet up at 9:00 and clean her apartment, so that when she comes home its all nice and clean, as of today, its Friday next week. We are all so happy, at one point it was touch and go, she is like a new person the past few days, my sister said the same thing to me tonight. My meatloaf was really good, glad I made it early today, before it got to hot our heat index today was 99, tommorrow is suppose to be over 100. Summer is here in Ky. Janice0

Hi guys. Been a really crazy day. I swam this morning. Them my 5 yr old had some late fees for her library books. Our library has a program where the kids can read away their fines. It is a dollar for every 15 minutes of reading. And they can read up to 1 hour a day. She has over 12 dollars in fines. So we were up there reading for over an hour. Then I took my teenager and her best friend to the north end of town (16 miles away) and we were hanging up anti-bullying flyers at businesses we hung 26 fliers in 3 hours. How many calories did I burn getting in and out off the car that many times? I wonder......... Then we all including the friend went to dinner. Afterwards we took the friend home. We went in and visited with her sister (the one who almost left us the other night) and her mom. The sister is doing great. Much happier now. She has a new outlook on life. Thank God. Her attempt was a compilation of her dad being a total jerk and texting her mentally abusive texts and blaming her mom for "brainwashing" her because she refuses to go to his house anymore and breaking up with her boyfriend of 3 years. She decided neither man was worth hurting her friends and family. Off to bed now. I have a soccer game in the morning after I cook apple pancakes for the family.
