WOMEN AGES 50 + FOR FEBRUARY 2018

Janetr, OMG! Mia is too cute for words! What a lucky GG you are!
Becca, great score at the food bank! I think if it were me, I would layer with parchment paper as opposed to plastic wrap. The parchment paper doesn't "shred" like the plastic wrap seems to and I have found it easier to take the stuff apart. But if all you've got is plastic, well, you gotta go with what you got!
Susan, as we get older, it definitely is harder to lose the weight. I read a funny poster that said something along the lines of "of course it's harder to lose weight when you get older, your body and your fat are good friends by now!" But seriously, our metabolisms slow down and as we age it seems we seem to slow down a bit. Well, some of us do anyway, there are many ladies on here who would make a liar out of me! But I know that I've had to work harder and make more of an effort to move more in order to get the scale heading in the right direction. Welcome, this is a great bunch of ladies!
Well, I ended up sweeping salt after all. The guy finally did show up. Mixed blessing! But at least we are covered for liability issues. And now of course, the sun is shining, the sky is blue and everything is melting. It's really quite pleasant out! Oh well, it did get me outside and moving for awhile, so it's all good.
Hope everyone has a good day!

And the most precious of all...

SueBDew in TX - thank you. Yes I retired before I was 62, one day after lunch I had had it. Called Jack, he said pack up and come home and I did. Lol

We too finally had sunshine today. Hooray

Janetr OKC

Laura- Love your little princesses! Adorable! So...which princess did you dress up as?
Janet- Mia!
Horsehair jewelry- I found a few pics of her jewelry on her now defunct facebook page, Designs of Grace (the cover photo is a horse). Here are a few:

OK my spinach nests are done, with rice on top
I threw out 1/2 of my spinach bag because when I had it out on the balcony last night, something opened the lower corner of the bag, and that freaked me out! But I got 6 servings of both the sautéed spinach (4 cups per serving) and 1/2 cup each of rice.
The squash was yucky, so that went out! Slimy squash no thanks, creamy squash yes please!
I am vacuuming! Everyone stop and take notice!!! I put Pine Sol in water, and put socks on my hands and wiped stuff down. The baseboards, lamps, cords. I beat on the sofa cushions, (that's fun), and husband sang inappropriate songs to me....
OK, time to clean more!
Hugs my tribe!
Becca

Gorgeous grands Laura, and Heather, and Mia's such a sweetheart, Janet! Figured I'd share mine while we were at it. Mom took 'em out for some picture taking today. She's a good photographer...

This speaks volumes to me! I'm thinking of writing it on my seasonal tree/4 canvass painting. The one with either paint swirls or buttons. Something to hang in my dining room (in Whidbey island).

Love the kiddo pictures! Oh, Mia, what a beauty you are. Janet, I noticed they didn't have a baby gate up at the stairs. She has some really cute toys. And the Disney Princesses. My girls are to, especially Ellie. Their other Aunt loves to buy the costumes at the after Halloween sales and then the kids grow into them as they do. So they have a lot of dresses to grow into.

I feel I traveled to Italy!!! Thank you so much for the pictures. Oh to be able to be able to stay in that apartment for one night.

Well I was a good girl yesterday and called and got my boob squeeze and bone dnsity test scheduled. They are to bcdone the day before I have the weird thing removed from my back. I had Charlie take pictures of all the moles I have on my back and there is one that is black. Since it is right next to my spine I don't know how the sutures are going to be like.

Our main problem we are having right now is rain as in Rain. A good amount of flooding in the area, not major like you see when the river has flooded but our River will flood soon. Michelle said she has a leaky roof. Her poor dogs don't know why she is going up and down her stairs all the time. When she is upstairs and ogre downstairs, to them it means they can go outside. I am glad we had a back flow valve installed a couple of years ago and also had to have a French drain done more than several years ago. Lots of money to have all this done but it is worth it.

JanetR, I love all your ideas for your eggs for upcoming holidays. I can take a picture of the napkin ring with an egg in it if you want. I think how you display your eggs will be a big part of how many you sell. And also have a way for them to display the, such as the napkin ring or the one I posted yesterday. I wish I knew where I got that but I think it came with the egg. Charlie likes his pretty eggs like that and we pick them up on our travels.

Barbie, I know you are glad the figure skating is over and you are glad they are so you can get back to the things in your life that give it balance, but did you watch the Gala tonight? Boy, that was a long sentence.

Pip, lov you picture. You could make a calander with all your pictures.

Well it's at this time of the evening that I have to do a lot of referring with the cats. I don't know why it's like this in the evening. They can be so good at other times.
