WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR OCTOBER 2016

Becca, I think those are called spider aerobics. LOL

Been thinking about Michele in NC. Haven't seen her post today. Has anyone heard from her! Sure hope the Carolina girls are ok.
We had a review of The Peecan Man. Pretty interesting.

I'm back from 10 days in Honolulu. It went by in a blink. We got the condo and storage units cleaned out. THIS WAS THE HARDEST WORK I HAVE EVER DONE!!!

I met someone I want to be my selling agent. However, due to a delay in getting some legal and appraisal work done, it may be about 3 months before we can list. Meanwhile, we found more than needs doing. So, will bring in a professional painter and a/c repair company. Considering bringing in a short term tenant, for which I can charge a bit of premium because those are in short supply in my area of town.

Thankfully, my two best friends on the island were ever-ready with meal deliveries, advice and as swimming companions. I got in some very delicious night swims in the salt water pool, and two dips in the ocean at Waikiki. I was so, so happy that my back and hip didn't bother me at all. Every night I had two very sore feet, but otherwise, I managed all the packing, lifting, hauling, dumping, scrubbing, crouching, climbing up and down a stepladder a hundred times and the overall stress with little physical breakdown. This was truly a realization of how much the daily fitness exercises in a gym apply to real world situations.

Unfortunately, the food choices were less than optimal. I'm sure the scale will reflect that tomorrow, but for today, I will semi-fast, drink lots of water, and keep plugging along.

Speaking of plugging...there was no internet in my unit, so I am now over 700 posts behind. Will start catching up with all your busy lives.

Stay well, friends. We can do this.

Well JanetR you look absolutely tiny beside that tree! How is your rash, have been thinking about you.

This is our local Baptist association fellowship hall and is used for church meals, conferences, etc so is not decorated f anything. It is up to the people renting it to decorate it. My sister will be able t have her power chair and she might share it with Debbie. But I can't think of any of us here in Evansville who would have a recliner that we could take over there.

I swear I don't know what n the world has invaded my husbands common sense. This is the first little trip we have taken in many months and I mean many. And this is just an over nighter. The temp wasn't right in the room, can it be altered? Yes it can, turn on a light. Which light should I turn on. Whichever one you think would give you best light. Would the flashlight work. Well if you want to use the flashlight hen use it instead of the lamp. Where is the temp switch. You have your light. Ow just look for it. So I get up and show him. Well the temp hasn't changed. You have to wait for the thermostat to give it signal to change. I don't want to wait. To turn out this light do I use this switch on the wall or on the lamp. Well you turned it on, which one did you use. On and on. I swear this sounds like dementia. And I am so used to about 7 pillows on m bed at home, two of them body pillows. For between my legs. So I have folded and folded the so called spread they have and hope it stays in that roll to use as one body pillow and two bed pillows on the over side. I have a neck pillow I use in the car and it will have to substitute for what I put my hand on when I am one side and then I do have my small one I use at home. So. Am glad this is only one night. I was surprised Charlie says next time we need to get a handicap room. I really ink the only difference is the bathroom. But we are on the second floor, no elevator. But we went to our kids house first and then came back and checked in and used grandkids labor to get our one small bag and pillows to our room. We will have to do it ourselves in checking out. This is not the kind of motel that has a bell hop.

I am not sure if this picture will load or not. Many years ago during one of my ma y diets, I went to our hospital dietician for her to help me. About the same time one of our local newspapers was doing a story on healthy eating and wanted to follow some one for a year. Yep, that was me. So we had monthly interviews. They didn't meet me when I started it so no pre picture. But they did take an after one. The took me to a fine beautician, one of the local swanky dress shops, had my make up done. I was all done up. They were quite upset I had just got my hair cut. I am sure all the har I had they managed to do quite a combover to make it look as full as they could. Anyway, we were looking in Christina's keepsake trunk tonight and this picture was in there. The kids were in bed so I am glad they didn't see it or they would have had nightmares. I look somewhere between a mother of the bride or grandmother of the bride. So I hope I get this posted. If I don't, you will just have to use your imagination.

looks kind of Victorian or what I see of my great grandma from Ireland! Tomorrow we travel about 60 miles to 'Australia'.
Joyce, Indiana presently in a hotel in kentucky. Oh tha picture looks bad. Will give me nightmares. I'm surprised people didn't cancel their prescription to the paper or quit going to my hospital!

Heather: Your photos are gorgeous! I would love to visit the water gardens.

Sue in WA: I hope the Wednesday appointments for your DH wind up giving him relief from pain and/or discomfort. I also hope that they will give you some relief from worry. (((HUGS)))

NYKaren: I'm glad that you and your DH are in a good place in your relationship. What a nice blessing! :flowerforyou:

SueBDew: I've seen a post from Michele in NC on the news feed today and she sounds fine.

Rori: I hope you enjoyed your 10 days in Hawaii. I have to admit a tiny bit of envy. :sick: (green with envy)

Janet R: Keep the lovely photos coming. What a great place! :flowerforyou:

Barbie: I hope your computer woes are solved soon. I'm happy that the medical news is so positive.

Joyce: Your Great Grandma was a beauty!


I flubbed an update on my iphone and spent hours on the phone with a nice guy who works for Apple in Florida. Everything is working great again. DH & I spent some time on the boat earlier today getting it ready for winter. I'm quite sure we will be selling it next spring. It will be a mixed blessing to let it go. We've had some great times in that boat but now it makes DH queasy, even while tied in its slip on a calm day. :sad:

Joyce thanks but actually it is a VERY big tree. Lol. The rash is still coming and going. Mostly on my legs, but over the weekend had a patch on the palm of my left hand and some on my upper arms. Seems as soon as they begin to clear up in one place I break out in several other places. Over all I'm feeling exhausted and very unsteady on my feet. We are still waiting for results on the autoimmune disorder lab tests. I should hear tomorrow. I sure hope so.

Katla, thank you. We just took a short day trip today. I've been fighting nausea the last week or so and riding in the car seems to exacerbate it. I have another I wanted to share of the beautiful bridge we crossed over the Mississippi in to Illinois. I'll try to get it posted.

Janetr (two drifters off to see the world, there's such a lot of world to see)

Can't get that song out of my head since spending the afternoon at the Mississippi River.

Crossing the bridge over the Mississippi river in to Ilinois.

Larisa so funny you should pop in today as I was just thinking about you yesterday and wondering what you were up to! Ah romance
