WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR JUNE 2016

cityjanelondon ok, i'll do it just for you

Bugs -1 Charleen - 1 (game and match point!)

Bugs and Bugs Jr. were spotted outside of the fence this morning. They tried all around the fence including the gates and could not get in! I'll replant seeds for the spinach and lettuce they ate but it will be late in the season before they will be large enough for me to pick. At least I will have strawberries for the rest of the summer.

Charleen in Colorado (Just went under a tornado watch for the rest of the day)

@GodMomKim Kim from N CAThanks for the vegetarian source, I peeked at it and it looks great, so I bookmarked it. Appreciate that.

Our daughter-in-law booked our flights to visit them in the Washington DC area for us. We had enough air miles that the flights are free! I can't believe it! The woman is a magician. We've also rented a mobility scooter for DH that will be dropped off at DS & DDIL's home earlier on the day we are set to arrive. The rental company will pick it up from their house, too. Thank you Joyce for the wonderful idea of renting! :flowerforyou: :bigsmile: Now all we have to do is set up a place to leave our car in Portland, and we're done with reservations!

When we returned to our hotel room last night we found a surprise. There was a big gift bag full of treats and Texas A & M goodies. What a wonderful welcome they are providing for us. I got all teary eyed.

Cheri - I told ya Texans were nice.

I went to the Dr. today, got the news about the rotator cuff tear. Yup, it's there. Yup, it's bad. He couldn't do surgery for at least 3 weeks due to vacations, my husband's schedule etc. and so I decided to try a steroid shot since that would only delay surgery by a week (the standard in his practice is you can't have surgery for at least 4 weeks after a steroid shot). If it works great, if not, well I've only lost a week. Everyone told me that I'd feel the difference almost immediately since there is also a pain medication along with the steroid...uh not so much. Hurts just as much hours later as it did before. I'll see how the next few days go. I have PT exercises to do. He said if I am pain free and have range of motion in six weeks no surgery. One can hope right?

About five years ago my mom, DH, and I went to visit a Museum in St. Charles Missouri. It was actually the starting place for the Lewis and Clark expedition. It was also the original capitol of Missouri. We were the only ones on the tour and had a wonderful tour guide. We had a great time together, and I came away with knowledge of my roots. I was born in Missouri. Down the street was the Casino on the River. In Missouri the casinos are on the river boats. They built a hotel for the boat. The parking lot was packed. Casinos have their place. History does too especially in these times. First people have to realize what they are missing just as Heather and Miriam said before decisions are made that have far reaching effects.

Hello beautiful ladies-- well my dessert resolve lasted a week, but yesterday I was so famished from working in the yard in the heat that I broke down and had a piece of carrot cake in an air conditioned locale.i still managed to to not eat all my calories back.
Heather and Miriam I also think that uneducated and undereducated voters are a major reason we have all the problems we have. So many people have let their critical reasoning skills go out the window. I worry that the media conglomerates owned by a handful of folks have encouraged this as part of a long range plan, even though I am far from being a conspiracy theorist. I hope and pray things will turn around.
Who had the bunny problem? I think I joined your club--Swiss chard and cilantro chomped to bits...
Pip, you go girl! As always, in awe of you.
Welcome new people--sorry I cannot keep track of you, but it seems I am being swamped with things to do and am only managing to read posts once a day.
We don't care how old you are--hey we are getting so we don't even care how old we are!

Call me crazy but I love to see other people happy and succeeding .

Good Evening Ladies,

MicheleNC, when the avocado fell out and open did you make guacamole? Yum

Charlene, I love your flock of flamingos!!!

Joyce, cool date night. Glad you found the movie.

Allie, I hope you can get that infection taken care of before your trip. ((((Hugs))))

NCRawGirl, yes, close is good enough for us when it comes to age. Please tell us about yourself to help us get to know you and sign each post with the name you want to be called. This is a great place for support and information. We have a number of NC ladies here.

Rita, “AT A GIRL” on that walking. Keep up the good work.

Heather, I know you still aren’t happy but so glad that you are feeling a little better. I do hope it shakes out that none of it is as bad as the doom Sayers are predicting. Sending more ((((Hugs)))) your way and have fun with the kids.
Pip, you are wasting your time trying to collect any fees because Lenora is just stealing them right out of our accounts, ya know.

Cheri, I’m happy things are going well and sure hope you find something that you like real soon. How nice that you got the welcome basket! I do hope you love it there!!!

Katla, glad you are making plans to visit the kids. I know you will all enjoy that trip.

NYKaren, your trip reminds me of us going to Parent’s Weekend to see our DD her Freshman year at Clemson. I think we saw her for about 4 minutes maybe. Know that we are here for you.

Jean, welcome. You will find this a great place for support and information. Hope that this time around you won’t go on “a diet” but will change your way of eating and thinking about food so you can stick with it forever. That seems to be what works. Please sign each post with the name you want to be called and a location, general or specific.

Go, Pip, Go. But you are wearing me out just reading about all those miles. Unbelievable.

to any Newbies that I missed. Come often and join in the chat. This thing works!! Please sign your post with what you want to be called. It makes it easier for us to respond to you. Also a location is great, be it specific or general. We are happy to have you join us.

Our power went out for about two hours this afternoon for no reason. It was the whole neighborhood. We don’t know if there was some construction work that caused it or what but was glad to get it back. All the bunny talk reminded me that we had a bunny in the back yard just before dark today. It looked like it was eating grass and was out there with the squirrel and the birds.
Sending love and good thoughts to all of you and I hope you all have a Happy and Healthy Day!

Words I live by:
Savor. I have to slow down and savor every bite.
and
Opportunity. Each day offers new opportunities for good health and happiness if we just look for them and choose them.
I Love you,
