Haha, Rebecca, love it, and we all go for a daily walk with Barbie and all our dogs!3 -
Yes Wendy! We shall have a walking trail, and places here and there to sit, and contemplate how awesome we each are. Our kitchen will be one to die for. With many cooking classes from ladies that can do magic with food.

Becca: You have a grand imagination! Are you secretly an author of best selling books about the adventures of old friends? Nice job working out.
Wendy: I take turmeric every day but I didn't know there was a version that includes tart cherry. It sounds appealing and useful.
The painters have put plastic up to protect our windows when they paint. It is raining and hailing today, so it is obvious that painting is at least a day or two away and our lovely view is totally hidden.

REBECCA love you, you have such a great imagination and wouldn't it be great if we could all get together and chat and walk and run and cook up a storm.

Rebecca - Your retreat sounds wonderful!
Heather - can't wait to check out your book!
Penny - I remember the days of snow caves growing up in Indiana in the 50's! Wonderful memories!
Karen in VA - lucky you in CA! I am officially starving for oranges now, lol. Or are they lemons? Either way, I can't imagine just going out and picking citrus like that.
Our little housecleaner did a good job. She's a little spitfire. Back in 2 weeks.
Looks like a week upcoming of rather sunny weather so will be repotting some tomatoes tomorrow into 1 gallon containers, they are outgrowing their warm shelf in the garage.

I bought some ginger/turmeric kombucha, and it tastes like beer. Well, to my gluten-free-haven't-had-a-real-beer-in-years self. It even had a head on it. And the color is right for a pale ale. Kind of yummy.
Those of you who are going alcohol free might try it.
Attended a power class last night -- which is group weight lifting to music -- and boy am I sore. My thighs are screaming at me, especially when I go down stairs -- which is all day long. My office is on the 4th floor, on a hill. I am either climbing or descending if I go anywhere!
Much love,

Watching episode 3 series 1 of St Elsewhere Denzel Washington is so young, loving it as much as the first watch in 1980s

On melatonin - Ever since a bad experience with Ambien, I've resisted any form of sleep aid, but was sleeping so lightly while we were in North Carolina that every passing car would wake me, and was getting more and more exhausted. So, I picked up some melatonin, have been taking one a night. I'm now to the point where I can sleep for somewhat longer, but more importantly with fewer disturbances, and wake feeling more rested than I have in quite some time. No fogginess, no headaches for me, or at least not so far. I take it about a half hour before bed.
The son has been on the receiving end of more than one tough love session today... and seems to be taking it well. We'll have him with us until Thursday morning, and then we'll be taking it back up to Fayetteville. Nice to have him within an hour, and nice that he has a job, though it's intermittent at the moment.
Furniture came in - first time we haven't built our own bed platform in six years. We like it...

Suebdew - lovely to see spring has sprung! How gorgeous! Is that a Pecan orchard I see in the background?

Heather, thanks so much for posting the info about your book. I haven't yet looked on Amazon, but will soon. Will have to do the paperback version, can't read on the computer in bed and don't own a Kindle (yes, I'm the one person who doesn't own one! lol)
Michele, the gnome is just adorable!
Lisa, the furniture looks lovely! Nice that your son is living close enough to see on a regular basis, but still far enough away that you can still have your own lifestyle! Congrats on onederland!
Sue, your garden looks lovely! I have a few daffodils blooming, my tulips are budding, grape hyacinth and bluebells are also budding. The two blueberry bushes that I dug up and brought with us (that was not easy to do!) seem to be doing okay, hoping for some fruit this year! One had fruit on it a few years ago, last year it got disturbed, so nothing . Keeping my fingers crossed for this year.
Machka, again, thank you so much for taking the time to keep us updated! So happy to hear that hubby is showing some improvement and that you are getting into a bit of a routine.
Rentals: haven't had to rent for many years, but when we were, apartments always had fridge and stove, laundry was communal. Only ever had one rental apartment with a dishwasher, wouldn't get one now without! Houses seem to usually have laundry also, but sometimes just the hook-ups. We didn't go for those as we couldn't afford to buy the appliances. When we bought our first house, we had to purchase all appliances, we bought used as, again, we just couldn't afford to get all new. As the appliances died (the clothes washer went first - it worked hard!) we replaced. When we sold to the developer and the house was being torn down, we kept the fridge and got all the other appliances new. We bought a new build, basic appliances were included, but we upgraded a bit. We sold for more than we had to pay so we had the luxury of upgrading a few things! Our fridge was only a few years old and we really like it so..... Sold our washer and dryer, and the fridge and washer from the other side of the duplex, gave our stove and dishwasher to our son and daughter in law. Didn't sell the appliances for a lot of money, but every little bit helps and we just wanted someone else to be able to use them.
Have been just skimming for the past week or so, too many posts to keep up with!
Welcome to the newbies, hugs for those needing them and congrats to those celebrating victories!

Lanette- that is our back yard we have 27 pecan trees. Across the street in front of us is a big working pecan orchard. One of the biggest in the US.
Evelyn -your flowers sound beautiful. My daffodils are through blooming as are the hyacinths. Waiting for the Easter Lillys and day Lillys.
Lisa- I tried melatonin also but it made my face break out. At first just a few spots but the next time it was a lot of spots. Not worth it for me. Your new furniture looks comfy.
Wendy- I really like the video of the song you posted. Especially the words, let your friends support you.
Waiting on pins and needles to hear if grandson will need surgery. He was a 31 week preemie and only weighed f2#12 oz. he had several surgeries while in the NICU. These problems are relayed to those surgeries. Poor baby ran track Friday night and had his best time ever in the mile. He was so proud.
I feel like crying but know that won’t help so will just pray for healing for my Connor.

Ps I don’t think I got the Brazos River which is in the back of our 2 acre lot.7 -

Awe, ditto! You really are all my "sisters-in-hearts".

Just learned yesterday my grandson is in hospital with partial smAll bowel obstruction. He was a preemie and had several surgeries on his intestines. He is 15 now and runs track. Please say a prayer or good wishes for Connor.
SueBDew in TX
I'll remember Connor in prayer. It's hard too young ones suffer. Keep us updated. (((Hugs)))

Hello everyone! I am starting MFP! I am 56 years old and I think I am experiencing the menopausal weight gain thing I've heard so much about! It is definitely harder to lose than it was before. But I know how good it feels to have the clothes fit a little looser and I am definitely looking for that. Jennybech3, I too purchased the "Walk Strong :6 week Total Transformation " by Jessica Smith and I really like it. So here we go....one day at a time.6
