    Kettlebell Workout
    Morning workout
    Goblet squat-3X5X 40
    Russian kettle bell swing-14 X7X 40
    Evening workout
    Goblet squat-3X5X 40
    Russian kettle bell swing-14 X7X 40
    The 40 pound Kettle bell is really heavy! Because of that we have not increased the number of sets yet. That is one thing nice about this exercise is that you are in charge of your routine and can make it your own to fit your ability level.

    Good morn all.

    DD works at a school & they have an all day meeting tomor,so we'll have SIL here for dinner.

    Our SIL asked his oncologist not to sugar coat his diagnosis & is very appreciative that he didn't.Told him "we cannot cure this cancer,but we can treat it.No guarantee,but might live several yrs before it returns in a diff place."
    He has chemo next wk after 10 days off & hopes to go back to work next wk.

    Other DD just returned home from their 2 wk vacation in Wyo,MT & Colo.They loved it,but was glad to get back east & warmer temps.
    DD met a couple in Jackson Hole
    from London.

    Sounds like a lot of you having work done on your house & replacing appliances.I agree,they seem to be
    made of smoke & air. Our fridge is plumbed.....& never a problem.

    Allie.....hope your new life will be just what you want.

    Oldest Grson (in Marines)was home for 2 wks.He's in SC.

    DJ......sounds like you need to cry or scream to let the complainers know how it affects you. So hard to have it in your home.Thinking if you.

    Meg,hugs for you.You are one in a million.

    Karla,I had the same med prescribed for the "change"in 3 days Dr took me off of it,so went cold turkey.Those 3 days gave me 10 yrs of severe,hormone related migraines.
    One of my “hobbies”is reading side effects for meds adv on tv.
    Scary Stuff!!
    Going to send a couple pics of 3 1/2 yr old Great Garson. He loves all animals,even goats LOL
    Later,Pat

    I put on an extra blanket on the bed yesterday. I slept so much better being warm and toasty plus the weight of the blanket felt great! It’s only in the low 40s but tonight it will be 38 (f).

    My November goals are no bread, potatoes, rice; basically no carbs.
    So far, I’ve done good for the last two weeks and getting easier! I’ve noticed the belly has gone down a bit!
    I went to a homeopathic doctor when I was in Florida. I’m following his direction and also taking supplements.
    I feel so much better just in two weeks!
    Another goal is going to the Y and swimming and walking.

    Mary COBRA insurance is so high! There was a time where I didn’t have insurance after I was laid off back in ‘96. I couldn’t afford it and pay rent! I’m very fortunate to have insurance with the state of Texas retirement system.

    Have a great day y’all!

    Today is United States Marine Corps Day!

    Hug a Marine today. Oorah!

    Kim - The towels are so cute!

    Becca - Do you have a grocery store near you that sells bulk nuts and grains and such? Wild rice is expensive but you could probably save a little by buying that way. If nothing else you wouldn't have to buy $9 worth at a time.

    Sue - No, I'm in Taylor, just outside Austin.

    Marcelyn - Got a kick out of the Monte Carlo option. Our problem would be getting what we've got to last that long!

    Michele - You can buy beautiful quilt blocks or rails for hanging, but they're kind of expensive. I just use binder clips - they're not that noticeable. Or you can sew loops on the back of your quilt and use a curtain rod.

    Lenora - The Affordable Care Act was a compromise for sure. Unfortunately, political opposition rescinded several of the elements that were intended to make it work properly. I think as long as health care is a money-making enterprise, we consumers will continue to see crippling costs.


    I had to skim because I'm trying to get out the door for the river house, but you're all in my thoughts . Have a great weekend!

    Patceoh, glad your DH is doing well. You can tell him that after my DH's liver transplant, we got this after care sheet saying, "gallbladder is properly absent". We both look puzzled at each other, and then my husband called his Mom asking, " Did I have my gallbladder taken out"? She says, not that she can recall. So then we call our liver doctor and he said, "oh yes we took the gallbladder out when we took out your liver". What, you just happened to be in the area, and thought it should come out??? No, he laughs, the gallbladder is connected to the liver so we normally remove it as well. We told the doctor, you might inform your patient next time, so they know! Haha!

    Pip- beautiful thick hair! Love the curls!

    Dana- nice picture of your backyard. I think we'll just have to be the uninsured and pay the fine. I hope that they will remove the fine. I can't believe that they can legally fine people for not having insurance especially when the insurance industry is making over 50% profit on people that have no choice. Regulate the profit margin and everyone could probably afford it.

    Becca - we buy a lot of bulk items. Today we bought macadamia nuts and they are a lot cheaper and just as delicious. The only difference is that they are mostly pieces and smaller than brand names.

    Played golf today, just a little chilly but we stuck it out for 18 holes.
    Pip- you should have a date night so you can show off your beautiful hair.
    DH has a new gadget that will allow him to hear the tv through ear phones (if he can get it hooked up). I usually have to tell him What's being said then I miss the next words.
    Pat- glad your husband is doing so well. Good for you getting out of the house for his PT.
    Not much happening here just wait to see if the headphone work.

    Katla, our Fred Meyers here in Warrenton has an isle of bulk items. I need to investigate! One day on my own, without a bored husband!

    Being opinionated is a good thing!
