Hah! I thought I'd tracked you down and posted all proud of myself and then went back and discovered I posted on July 2016! lol
I've been off grid for a month or so. This past week I spent on a dive boat in the Turks and Caicos. We lived aboard for the full week and did up to 5 dives a day. Here's a picture of me and some of my regular dive companions.... on almost every dive!
This is my husband and I above water and below water.

Marilyn, I have a cousin who is in the military and his job is in diving. He isn't a Seal so I don't know exactly what it is. But he does numerous dives all around theworld. Now he does them mostly for recreation. His pictures are so wonderful. I would love for hm to make a coffee table book.
Mr Mozart is jumping around this morning. I was wondering if I would need to get a medicine refill or ask for something a lot less stronger. But I think he is coming along quite nicely. I'm still not going to use his games that require jumping up or running down the hall like his laser pen or throwing a waddled up ball of paper.

My DH has decided he needs to lose 50 lbs. and says he has gained because I cook too much! What he hasn't owned up to is that he eats too much. I will try to change what I have done for the last 47 yrs but it is going to be difficult. He was always very thin until he quit smoking after a heart attack about 5 yrs ago.

Carol - The good news is that men lose weight really easily once they set their minds to it. Grrrrrrrrrr!
Suebdew - Lovely family pics. I love the stairs one!
My Barbecoa Beef was a little tough. I don't think it liked being reheated in the microwave. I'll do it in a saucepan next time. DH doesn't do well with tough meat, but he valiantly ate it all. Not my best meal ever!
Love Heather UK xxxxxxx

Good Afternoon,
Stopping in before getting my husband's lunch packed, he works swing shift.
Allie: You are a very strong lady.
Suebdew: Love the photos
Ginger in Texas: Great weight loss.
Carol: I would say that your husband just enjoys your cooking and it is up to him to have some self control. Especially if you have been cooking the same for the past 47 years. Weight gain does seem to be a side effect of stopping smoking.
The temperature is suppose to be cooler today 98F, we have been in the triple digits for the past week. I may have to find a gym to use in the afternoons so that I can get my steps in. My husband and I go for a walk in the mornings together.
I have been reading all of the posts about the instant pot and I think that I may look into purchasing one. I tried to make Baked beans in my crockpot and after 16 hours they still were not done, I had to put them in the oven to finish them.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Okay, caught up on reading! The internet being down seems to have solved the problem I was having with downloading pictures. Hold on to your hats! Here comes some Joaquin!
The first pic is Joaquin and I in the front yard, then DH, Joaquin and I at the beach across from our house, third is the same but with Lake Michigan in the background, fourth is DD and I, and the last pic is saying goodbye at the airport. A wonderful visit, but like I said last week; not going to dwell on how much I miss them; just going to start planning the next visit!
Allie- You have the power! The ball is in your court! You hold all of the cards! So proud of you and your strength! You are showing those who love you, that you can love your self and take care of your self! That is an inspiration and a great gift!
Pip- Hope you heal quickly and completely! Those are nothing compared to what I have seen you post! Warrior woman!
Machka- Truly great genes in your family! Very nice Canada Day photo! Hope you are getting rest after that full day and a half (!?) of travel!
Heather- OMG! Bea, Edie, and brother (his name just vanished!)! So sweet! And Bea really has that big cheesy smile of Edie's down, doesn't she? Love beach pics! Thank you for mentioning that book again! I made a note of it the first time and lost the note somewhere on my way to the library!
Leigh-Your vacation sounds lovely! I am hoping that sometime in the future a road trip (or rail trip) through France will be possible. And you only gained 1.5 lbs?! That's fantastic for vacation! We all like to relax and splurge a little more during those times.
Cathy in Arlington- Your little oasis looks lovely! I may be tempted to stop by and create a ruckus on my way to Burleson to see the grandbaby!
New girls- Welcome all! You have stumbled on the treasure of the MFP message boards! A great support system, all contained in a neat little package called Women ages 50+ and maintained by our supreme leader, Barbie
Well, the first of my kiddos just got picked up, so I better get myself up and moving and snack ready for the others who are still napping! ttfn Much love to you all! I missed you so much when my power was out! You know what they say about absence... xoxoxo KJ (Kelly)

Just finished 2 hours of weeding. My yard is big and seems the last section is finished and the first one is ready to get those pesky weeds out again- the never ending cycle. Have not had much luck with putting down the weed shield materials. Well, it is good exercise at least! And the early morning was cool and even a bit cloudy. Sun is out now and I'm hiding indoors! Heat and I are not good friends. Love the sunshine but cannot take heat. We are fortunate here that it cools so much at night. I open it all up at night and then early in the morning I close everything up tight and it stays quite cool. Don't like dragging out the portable air conditioner as it is such a chore getting those big hoses out the door etc. It has to be over 30C (that's about 90F in U.S.) for me to get it out!
As I am quite new to this spot, not sure if you all know about this or not: I am not a fan of cauliflower but do want to cut carbs and a friend told me to try this. Steam a head of cauliflower until quite soft, transfer it into your food processor, add a tiny bit of butter and some grated cheese you like (I use freshly grated parmesan reggiano), (cheese is optional) and puree it. Return to a pot and warm it up more. It is soooo good and is amazingly like mashed potatoes- even the taste! You can experiment with various things to add to it like chives etc.
My great niece turned 9 on Canada Day! Nothing like a holiday every year on your birthday. She is the sweetest smartest girl and she and her sister (pics attached) mean the world to me. If only we could press pause and have them stay young for longer!!! They keep me laughing every week. Have a great week ladies!
