WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR JULY 2017

Allie stay safe!

Allie: (((HUGS)))

Michele: Lunging a horse is a way to exercise them without riding. They have a lead rope/lunge line attached to their halter and move in circles around you at the speed & direction you ask. It helps them loosen up muscles if they've been standing in a stall, & gets them thinking about doing what you ask.

Sue: I wondered about the goats because I hadn't heard of the breed before. Goats are great at clearing brush. Our city hired someone with a herd of goats to clear brush for a big drainage project. It was win/win. The job was done without the racket & dust that machinery creates. The drainage project is a big success and the goats enjoyed "fine dining."

Dana: DH had to have neurosurgery on his lower back a few years ago. We knew somebody who had an "in" with one of the best surgeons in our area. Even with the support of our friend it took two months to get the surgery done because the doctor was booked solid. I'm not surprised that your surgeon has a waiting list. I hope you'll be able to get in before things get worse. I'm sorry your daughter isn't as supportive as you need her to be right now. :flowerforyou:

DJ: I'm sorry your daughter's dog hurt himself. You seem to be doing all the right things to help him.

Renny: It is so good to see your post. I've missed you!!!


Re: Younger Next Year for Women: Barbie helped me to acquire a copy not long ago. I've found it very positive and full of good information on staying healthy and happy. I would definitely recommend it. I read the version that was aimed at men a couple of years ago and really like this one better because it is focused on women's health. Thanks again, Barbie!

We are anticipating a visit from our son in the next few days, but don't know exactly when. We haven't seen him in person since our visit to Virginia last summer. I hope that he doesn't get orders that make a visit with us impossible. Keeping my fingers crossed.

“Our greatest weakness lies in giving up. The most certain way to succeed is always to try just one more time.” Thomas A. Edison

Katla~ My cousin that got married last year when I went to Tennessee has a business called Goat Guys, they have a herd, and rent them out to do the same thing... a very thriving business I might add..
well Karma is already working, Tom took stuff to the dump and stepped in doggie poo, so he had to clean his shoes and my car

Becca, it finally hit me! You keep on saying Whidby Island. May have got the spelling wrong. That is where my cousins go to all the time. They live in Seattle and love nature and photography. They love light houses and whale watching and I guess both of those are prime there.

I guess Me Mozart is back to being his usual kitten onerieness to Melody. So Melody is back to hiding out under my bed and I have no idea where he is. I haven't gone downstairs yet but he mainly goes down there when Charlie is there and he is up here with me. We are waiting for 2 PM for the golf tournament to come back on. There is a Major League fishing tournament.. I never knew there were such things. One of the fishermen. Said that fishing is supposed to be laid back and relaxing and he is exhausted. Well fishing should be laid back and relaxing. I am glad that in the course of this tournament, each fish they catch gets put right back in the water. They get a 2 minute penalty for letting the fish land on the boat!!!

Allie, I hope Tom had the decency of cleaning your car.

Rosie is adorable!!!! went over to Sams and picked up a few things, Tom went off to have dinner, he was going to Manchester to Popeye's ,or maybe to Bristol ,, who knows who cares..

went to the place where we had the curtains done and I decided she needs to meet me at the place where we have the airstream and try them on herself so she can see exactly what's wrong with them so the instructions won't get lost in translation. I will probably end up taking 1/2 day off on Tuesday so she could meet me there.

Alison: Tom stepped in doggy do indiscriminately and often in the past few years. His reward seems to be on its way. I certainly hope he gets what he deserves. Stay strong.

Holly from Cleveland: Welcome. :flowerforyou:

Lanette: Holly still looks like a puppy to me. What a charmer!

Pip: Having the seamstress actually go inside the Airstream to put up the curtains is brilliant. I will likely be a big help in getting things right. :flowerforyou:

Barbie: I just checked out Better Than Before from the library. The topic I'm now reading about forming new habits.


Our DS is planning to visit us on Monday. I have a doctor appointment for my broken finger Monday morning. We may be back home before he gets here, or he may get here first. It ahs been almost a full year since we saw him in person and I'm looking forward to it soooo much!

Nothing is impossible, the word itself says 'I'm possible'!" -Audrey Hepburn

Rebel Renny - big welcome back.

Karen in VA - wonderful NSV!

DJ - how lucky for Beans that your dh was there! I don't even want to imagine if he wasn't

Did an hour of advanced strength DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to do a yoga core cross train DVD.

Went to the farmer's market today. The guy with the great corn wasn't there. I got some corn form another guy, but honestly it isn't as good as that other guy's. Well, when I get back from VA I'll give him a call and hopefully we can get together so I can get it. That's what we did last year. After that cooked the corn while Vince went to see about a new lock for the door. Even tho the website for this place says they're open, they weren't. At least the dead bolt is in the door. After he got home went in the pool then made cookies for Ken & Lynette. She just called and said they were coming (I knew it, that's the routine, I invite them, she says she has to ask Ken, then she calls to say they can come). Now church then I need to marinate the pork chops. I know Ken likes beef so I got a london broil but I'm not crazy about red meat so I'll have pork chops.

Tomorrow I'll make this pea salad and I'll have potatoes.

Joyce - I really don't understand how someone would expect you to put your health in jeopardy just so that you don't have Mr. Mozart declawed. It's not like that's going to kill him, but if he keeps scratching you, it could really put your health in jeopardy. Personally, I think you made the right decision for you.

katla - thanks for telling me what lunging a horse is. I've seen it, just never knew that's what it was called.

Allie - as I was laying in the pool, this song came on called "it's cheaper to keep her" and I thought of you. Poor Tomcat, I'm crying crocodile tears (lol lol)

Holly - welcome, just jump right in and tell us more about yourself.

While I was at church, Vince said that we had major lightening storm. Some of our breakers tripped.

pip - sure hope you get the curtain problem worked out. Sounds like a good plan -- to have her SEE it

Allie - things are certainly looking up for you. I hope this massage thing works out.
