WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR JUNE 2017

I love all the pictures of babies, children, grandchildren, and fur babies! Thanks for sharing!

Katla - you are very dedicated to your exercise which includes working with horses! I'm sure you'll be back at both ASAP!



Mary from Minnesota

Hi ladies: Had to get up early this morning to go pick up hay. He wanted us there by 8:00 am. We have since unloaded the truck and stacked hay in the barn, done some weed whacking, cut down weeds and decorated our flamingos. We are planning to go to Home Depot this afternoon to get PVC to build more blueberry cages. We have lots of blueberries this year and the deer have been sniffing around. Lots of apples on the tree too. Amazing what a little TLC will do for long neglected plants. Horses are enjoying time out in the front pasture.

Becca - Congratulations to Owain and to his parents who got him this far!

Margaret - That is an awesome thing you did for a little boy.

Lisa - Love the new addition. She is such a lovely gray.

Karen in VA - Olivia is looking good. What a cutie.

I had a funny thing happen yesterday. I had driven several miles on winding roads and was stopped at a stoplight when the man behind me jumped out of his truck and came up to mine. I thought I must have a flat tire or my gate was open or something but he came up to the driver's window with a can of cat food and a plastic knife that my DD had left on the bumper the night before. We both laughed. I don't know how it stayed on there that long.

Well, everyone take care and have a wonderful weekend, Sue in WA

Haircut by 'new' cosmetologist. This is how it looked the first time I got it cut (about 9 months ago while at Will & Tami's ... her co-worker took the scissors from her hand while we were talking about what I 'thought' I wanted to do. She had been cutting a man's hair and told Tami, 'I'm gonna cut her hair, you're going to watch'. I think that made Tami feel a lot better. I don't think she really wanted to cut my hair, afraid I wouldn't like it. Came home, got a body wave, The day I did Louis and Trey picked me up and while I was waiting for him to get out of front and into the back, the bottom fell out. I looked like a drowned rat; and, I never, ever could 'fix' my hair. You are supposed to wait until the 3rd day before getting it wet or washing it. Then a couple of months later went to get an appointment and was told that my hair-dresser was up at Emory waiting for a lung transfer. So one of the women cut it; I really wasn't totally satisfied; but, when it needed to be cut again I went back to her. Made a 3rd appointment. Then went with Jennifer to a 'door decoration painting party' and one of the women there had the 'exact haircut I had been trying to get'. Asked Jennifer if she knew her. "Sure, she's a beautician, I think maybe her sister probably cuts her hair." I complemented her on the cut and said that I had been wanting mine to do like that; but, apparently, it wasn't going to cooperate with me. She pulled up my hair and told me to call her the next day and she'd cut it for me, she told me that it needed to be shorter in the back to make it stack. I don't know why one is big; but, the 2nd is small and you have to click on it. Does anybody know why this happens?

Absolutely gorgeous! Glad you found a hairdresser who finally got it right!

Lanette

My middle granddaughter; she did not like the way the top that actually came with the skirt was cut in and that she would have had to wear a strapless bra; she they found this top and the tailor in town, actually remade it. It turned out beautifully.

Finally, found my pictures and got them posted. When I find one of my 'big boy' I will post it as well.

1) Will and Tami.
2) Me, this was after my body wave got wet; couldn't do a darn thing with it. But, it does show how much gray I have in my hair.
3) My 2 sons (Trey left; Will right).
4) Trey and his family, wife - Jennifer; Taylor, Madison, Emilee (Taylor is shorter than Madison even though she is five years older.
5) Will, Tami, and Mallory ... not the best picture of them; but, I think I have pictures all over the place on my laptop.
6) Cracker; but, I apparently don't have a picture of my other fur-baby, black and white, huge cat named "Tux". I'm sure I have one somewhere.

Proud of my crew, the 2 legged ones and the 4 legged one.

Lanette – It is so easy to do, too. But, I do have to be sitting down on the lid of the toilet to bend my head over to dry the back or else I get very dizzy.

Karen NY – Thanks. I’ll have to have a lot of things ‘altered’ when I lose that last 15 – 20 lbs., because that will mean I will be a 10; I already have a few things that are a 10; but, mostly at this point I am a consistent 12.

Thanks Beth – I’m loving my new haircut.

Allie – Could be … but; if you have a ‘paid for house’ in FL … are you putting away anything at your present job towards ‘retirement’? If not, then why not find a job down in FL and ‘enjoy’ the place. Why wait 10 years to begin enjoying it since you’ve asked for it? You can find a job, even a part-time one that will help you. I understand that part of his ‘anal about money’ being due to filing for bankruptcy … I think it does make one who files for it a bit anal about money because they have to ‘go totally cash’ for a while; but, you still don’t want to be ‘holding the bag’ if he finds that he ‘must’ do it again. He’s got something to entertain him, why don’t you go to FL and enjoy the slow-moving life and your friends while you still can. I was barely 50 when retirement was ‘forced on me’ and my income dropped by 75%. Louis had to support both of us and our kids and we had one, in college, at the time, too. It took me 3 years to ‘get over being disabled’; but, now … I enjoy every minute of it. Our oldest son just went through it and his ‘wife’ seems to think they can just ‘pick up’ and go ‘buy her another car’. They will soon have to turn it in, or else, the bank will be coming to get it. We’ve paid off all our credit cards and made a budget and this last month was the first one that I will have to get it out and figure if we stayed within it.

We had to have our house treated for termites, not that we had them; but, out 10-year bond had run out, so I had to pay $200 for that and we’ll have to pay another $30 a month on top of the $30 we pay for spraying. I was sitting at my chair the other day and a woodpecker started hitting at the house right outside the window. I thought the buzzing of a carpenter bee was bad; but, I was NOT expecting that! Sounded like someone was shooting up the house.

Got all my plants on my porch watered and fertilized and the door is now closed because the sun is coming into it since it is on the west side of the house. We’ll have to have a new trunk to our A/C unit to do it.

Lenora You are a knock out and the outfit is gorgeous!

Did a shorter bike ride today, just two hours. My back was bothering me so I think I need to build up some capacity. I'll try 3 hours next week. So far, I feel ok. I have ordered a bike computer so I can see the speedometer, odometer, calorie count etc so I can be even more competitive with myself lol!

Had a lovely dinner and then accidentally ate a few too many kit kat pieces. I had them portioned out but.... I just can't have that crap around and how did it get into my house you ask?? Duh maybe I bought it. Need to not shop when hungry. A new rule!

Sarah.
