WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR FEBRUARY 2016

Thanks for the welcome --I forgot to say that I am in Portland (OR). I also forgot to mention I am SORE from working out yesterday (and the day before). Went back to the gym today, because that's the only way to deal with sore muscles!

Hello everyone! Thanks for all the kind encouragement. I think I'm just about at the point of a major mental meltdown. I have to chill a little bit and then I can go on.

My son called today and said that he and the kids are coming to my studio TOMORROW to work on the yarn bowl project for his wife. The kids are out of school tomorrow. Well, twice before, he bailed out on me, so I am not going to change my plans for him this time. I told him that it would have to be for an hour or so in the morning, because I have a co-op meeting at 1:00 and have to get ready for that, and at 5:00 I have a meeting for Empty Bowls. So, IF he shows up, and there's no guarantee he will, then I'm not sure if I can get it dried and fired in time for Valentines day, but I will try. Nothing like waiting till the last minute.

I came up to the studio this afternoon to finish the last of my drafting projects, so that's one load off my mind. Now I have to go shopping and get home in time to watch Downton Abbey. Hopefully it's not cancelled because of the super bowl. I don't care about that in the least, except for the cute commercials. Those I can see online.

In the morning I have to clean up the classroom area and get it ready for the meeting. We are having a bigger group at this one. Other artists are finding out about it and they want in! So,maybe I will put the kids to work! If they show up.

I'm afraid I've been skimming a lot lately, but I will take time to read everything as soon as I can.

Later, ladies!

Pip34 – Remember once I was on our treadmill and decided I'd punch it up a number; unfortunately where I was at the time had only gone up one number. This time, while standing on it and, walking, I hit the button and it kicked up 5 numbers. I looked like those cartoons you see that characters fall off the back of it. Fell into a chair around the table and got my wrist caught in the belt and it took off several layers of skin before I could finally get up. Like …. Whirl … whirl … whirl, whirl, kaboom! I mean to tell you ‘it caught me by surprise’ and nothing I could do but go with the flow. I was too embarrassed to tell DH; but, had to because of the bandage on my wrist … it left a burn on it. “Be Careful, Lenora … now I worry about you!” Don’t have to … I wasn’t going to get back on it for a while. That was a couple of years ago. I still hang on to the sides; and, I step off it when I am trying to turn it up.

Thank you, Becca, I will. Came back to see what had been posted; and, change my supper. Had gumbo that DSY made that was ‘in the freezer’. Something that I had put in … thinking … “Oh, I will know what this is later on.”… WRONG; … it was a pick a container and hope that it is good. Need to go back and label things that are in there. Gumbo and/or chili … thankfully I always store it in 2-person containers.

Heather UK – DH brought home the movie of “Pride and Prejudice”. I had to laugh saying, ‘Hells-Bells; I did not even read the Cliff Notes on that one in HS. Now that I have taken an interest in reading … I ‘might’ try to read some that I have only seen the movies … like “Gone With the Wind” … and others.
