Senior Golden Sneakers..........July, 2011

Thanks you guys, Barbie and I really appreciate your kind words. Haifa was one of a kind and he and I were buddies. In years past when I was a smoker we'd sit on the front porch together while I had a good cigar. These past few years he was on my lap a lot if I was doing something on the computer. The thing that was most interesting about him was for a few month this last year just before he started down hill on his last big slide. He would get one of the dog's soft toys and have his way with it. As an aside he was neutered at the earliest possible age. It would drive us all crazy because he was very vocal about it. Thinking of him brings up great fodder for stories.

:flowerforyou: tip8rb, I turned 60 in January. I feel like 30 also. It is a matter of how you think. And, if you think young, you will look it. As to your bra size...they may be sizing them differently. I know that jeans are. I have heard that most women wear a bra that is too small.

Jake, hang on to those memories. They are precious.

Still waiting for results. Hopefully I'll hear on Friday. We've been very busy so that helps but time drags on.

Today has been a sad day. .

I am so sorry. I know how hard it is to lose a pet. I still mourn for our dog and it has been a long time. Everytime I see a Golden Retriever run, my heart aches.

Barbie and Jake, Iam so sorry for your loss of Haifa. They may be called ' pets' but they are our family. You gave her many loving years

Jeri: we are all waiting with you. I love your photo. You look fantastic. Where is it taken?:flowerforyou:

I have been very busy these past few days, with more to come. On Saturday I was at work in the morning, then had lunch with the kids and kids in the garden, then in the evening went for a meal with my 3 sisters. On Sunday, we went to wedding. On Monday I wa strying to catch up with housework. Tuesday we went to an awards eveing at my youngest daughters school. She was awarded the achievement award in Dance. Then they had buffet etc after. Today I have been to the hospital with my friend for her breast check. The lump turned out to be a 'fatty lump', so we were very happy.:happy: We went to pizza hut to celebrate. Naughty I know. I think I am a lost cause Tomorrow my eldest daughter is 30!!!! We are going to a chinese restaurant with all the family. ( I can't believe she is 30. I agree with Connie, I still feel that age myself):laugh: Friday I am looking after my grandkids and Saturday we are having a family/friends barbeque for her birthday also. The weather has turned and not looking good, so we may be all squashed indoors. Never mind, we'll still have fun.

Sandy::laugh: :laugh: :laugh: I did laugh out loud too. How did your shopping trip go? What do you mean by a coach? I have not opened 2 windows, so can't remember exactly what it was, sorry.

Connie: That is fantastic news. The weight loss, not the bra What about some before and after pics? WISHING YOU A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TOMORROW CONNIE:flowerforyou: :drinker:

Marie: I love reading your posts. Stay cool.:flowerforyou:

Buzz: You take care of yourself, please:flowerforyou:

Shirley: Sounds like you had a great time on holiday. Welcome back. Good luck with the new diet:flowerforyou:

Becky: I love the water. My dad taught me and my sisters to swim in the sea. We all love to swim but hate getting into our costumes. We all struggle with our weight. I am thinking of joining aqaurobics if I can pluck up the courage.:blushing:

I am sorry if I have missed anyone. I have only opened 1 window and can't remember all the posts.

As I am out tomorrow evening, straight from work for this meal, I doubt that I will be able to logon. So I will speak to you all later.

Nite Nite
Deb

Whin I lost another post. I know what I did i forgot to hit the reply button befor I move on to something el I'll do it every time.I wasn't important so will catch youguys in the morning..

Ha Becky I I did not get to see it. we had an constuction accident in our area while it was on and the news came on to tell us about it. A man fell into a 30 in. hole that they had drilled. 60 feet down. so we did learn that the firmen are all a brave bunch of guys. They did get the guy out after about 30 minutes and he seems Ok. . They flew him out on care flight to the hospital. But they took up all of opray show. Did get to see about 5 minutes and seems like it was promoting WW. Which is a wonderful program. They also had a car chase on about the same time but miss all of it. Our TV stations seems to like to get invole in a car chase too and take us away from our local chanels. We seems to have about one a week..

MARIE, DEB & BECKY --  I am sitting on a bench on the 8th Avenue Mall in downtown Calgary. It is a pedestrian mall, cars are only allowed at night. It is fairly early so not too many people are about. You can see people dressed in western apparel because everyone is encouraged to do so for the full  ten days of the Calgary Stampede. No suits or ties.  The flowers look like they are part of a tree but actually they are a hanging begonia. The flowers are just beautiful downtown this year.  We were down with my husband's cousin and his wife showing our city off to them before they head home to Nova Scotia.   It was fun, free pancake breakfast, square dancing in the street, native Indian dancing, a hat stomp, people all dressed up, etc., etc.

And thanks for the compliments, I was having a good time. 

:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: thank you, Sandy, for the great jokes.

thank you everyone for the kind words and thoughts about Haifa.......I know many of you are pet lovers and consider your pets family just like we do :bigsmile: I know you have gone through this sadness.:sad: someone told me that the only way to avoid this sadness is to never love another pet and of course, how could we live without our pets.

:bigsmile: the good news is that we got two offers to buy our house and have accepted one of them and have made an offer on a house that we really like and will know tomorrow if the offer has been accepted.

:bigsmile: Connie, congratulations on getting your weight into the healthy range

:bigsmile: congratulations, Shirley, on your successful weight loss with your new program

:flowerforyou: jeri, your picture is lovely.

:yawn: :yawn: :yawn: more tomorrow, I'm half asleep already.
