Thank you for the "Get Wells" and "Prayers". Everything went fine and the surgeon sent me home; telling Louis that I would be much better off at home than in the hospital. They've had several people get sick after surgery or just being in the hospital. The LINX procedure was not something they do at their own surgical unit. The Hiatal Hernia was also done at the same time. My throat was very sore. The tech, when he came in to help me set up asked if I minded if he prayed for me. Sure you can pray! Nice prayer and put me at ease for the surgery, he prayed for a quick recovery and prayed for the doctors doing the surgery. Then when I left they had put in a card signed by all who had anything to do with my procedure. I thought that was a nice touch.

Ginger, oh my goodness! You have had a time of it! Truly hope that things get back on to a more even keel soon!
Rebecca, Happy Birthday! While I would never have the courage to go to a clothing optional resort, I do enjoy your stories, loved the dancing in flip flops!
Meg, be careful out there! That is hot!
Okie, hugs for you and your pup.... So hard losing our fur babies.
Heather, how nice that hubby is trying so hard with the dancing! I'm loving your trip!
Kelly, happy for you that your new young fellow is going to work out for you.
Lisa, awesome words to remember (being accountable and taking care of yourself), really need to remember that!
Janet and Allie, best wishes to all on the wedding day!
Felicia, your sons are very lucky to have you for a mom. I didn't comment at the time, but I found the photo of your son and his partner very charming, happy for him that he's found his niche and that you are being so supportive, I'm sure that means the world to him. So unfortunate when parents turn their backs on their children just because they are walking a different pathway.
Rye, Kidd Kirby is so cute! I miss having cuddly cats, my last three only cuddled when it suited them. With my two girls I cuddled them against their will quite often. Didn't dare do that with the male tho, he left some pretty good scratches on me when I tried that! The girls would just kind of resign themselves to it and would accept a few minutes, but then they wanted down. They were slightly more polite about it than the male! They kept their claws sheathed, he did not!
Funny story about our male cat, he was kind of a wild thing, would chase pretty much anything and one of his favourite games was running through the house, into the bathroom, round the tub and then back through the house. Well, one night he was doing that while the kids were in the bathtub. As luck would have it, he slipped and went in the water! I was not home, unfortunately, (I worked nights at the time so that we didn't need daycare, didn't have a Kelly in our neighborhood!) but I did get reports from hubby and both boys about it, very funny. The amazing thing is, there was the cat, in the tub with two naked kids and neither of them got scratched! He was a good cat, even if he was a bit psycho....
I tend to do very well during the day, it's at night that it all falls apart. I have set an alarm on my phone to go off at 8 p.m. every day to remind me to brush my teeth. Once my teeth are brushed, I have no real desire to eat, the cravings go away which is a good thing! Also need to start having my shower right after that so that when I get tired I can just go to bed instead of being tired and then having to shower etc. That also gets me in trouble with food. Being tired = mindless munching.
Somewhat busy at work today, which is good, but there are some things I would like to get done today. I may have to put some of them off til tomorrow, it will definitely be quiet then, Sundays always are.
Congrats to those celebrating, hugs for those who need them and welcome to the newbies!

Rebecca Happy Birthday! :flowerforyou:
Doctor did not send my friend of over thirty years to the hospital. They are going to try a different course of treatment and if that does not start to make her feel better going to the hospital is next. My sister in law had it about a year ago and she ended up in intensive care for a week. Thanks for continued prayers.

Thanks ladies! I wasn't too keen in doing anything this year. Being 56, in my eyes just seems like an unimportant year. Now when I turn 60 you betcha I'm celebrating! It's just a number to me!

Hi Sisters, hugs to Ginger (scary when something is wrong with your eyes!) and Kidd Kirby, just because he is a beautiful soul and I am so glad he's recovered from his illness and Happy Birthday to Rebecca. There is more I want to say and comment on, but I am just racing the rain right now, heading out the door to do my long run before it starts (haha I fully expect to get a soaking)
I celebrated my first day of retirement by spending the day in the saddle, exploring the trails of a new forest. It was wonderful! My body aches today from so much fast riding, as I was with friends who train for endurance riding. I am already LOVING retirement! Wendy 10 -
who does everyone keep calling Kirby a kid......
happyyyyyy bdayyyyyyy to rebecca!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! who I know is coastalgal3 -
Rye an RV or recreational vehicle like my motorhome is completely self contained. It has plumbing, air conditioning, heat, bathroom with tub and shower ( but very small). We can run on our generator and use the holding tanks (for dish water and sewage) or hook up to electricity, running water, sewage, and in this park cable tv. Some RV types have less amenities but most have electricity through batteries or hook ups in the parks or by extension cord.
Some RV types even have electric fireplaces in them! (Not mine though).

Hi Gals,

Machka – maybe some ginger tea would help your tummy?
Margaret – sending good thoughts to your friend Jane.
Rebecca - Happy Birthday!!!!
Pip – Rye has a cat whose name is “Kid-Kirby”

Yesterday was my birthday, no worries, I just made it like every other day. I had gotten wishes from family, my sons,( except my youngest waiting to go into OS Navy school but I'm thinking he has a lot on his plate these days). So it was a great day, chatted with you all, hid my first batch of painted rocks, and drank a small bottle of Stella Artouis beer. We went shopping and bought some of my favorite OUI Greek yogurt. It's in the little glass jars, so my thoughts are to save them and put them in the sun room with little candles, or fake flowers, or even succulents. Then I went to my art store and bought 4 new paint pens for rock painting.

Happy Birthday, Rebecca! X
We have a rock painting/hiding/re-hiding group in my home town. Its very popular with the children.
I love your idea about the glass jars, the reflection from the sun will be lovely. I have a small Tiffany Lamp in my hall and, at this time of year, as the sun is going down, it shines through my window onto the lamp and creates a beautiful effect on the wall. It looks like the Milky Way!
All the best,

Pip This is Kidd Kirby:
He is a ham of epic proportions even for a feline. He is also the most cuddly and friendly feline I’ve ever known.
John keeps telling me he’s just making nice for extra treats. But, I know he is very happy to accept treats but what he really thrives on is attention and affection.
My only difficulty is paying enough attention to his brothers because Kidd Kirby hogs the spotlight. I have to make sure (and I do!) to have special attention and affection times with his brothers, but Kidd wouldn’t let me forget his time for anything.4 -

I'm so addicted to rock painting! I semi-retired in January and it's one of a few things I do to stay sane. I put out a bunch today and am out of rocks to hide right now.

Where are you at Donna? We could send each other rocks and who knows where our rocks will travel!

Ok I am a slug today, just listening to music, naked in my sun room. Back yard sanctuary! And I just slugged down a Stella beer. Summer mindset! Ok need food to soak this up.
Have a great day y'all!

becca I’m singing happy birthday to you in my opera voice!!!!
Lisa I’ve got to print out your post, wise and true and very timely for me to read.
Went to my colleagues mother’s funeral today. Her mother died in a bike accident this past weekend, so tragic, she was 67 still working a job she loved as a math coordinator and loving her 4 grandchildren. They played Amazing Grace on the bagpipes—so moving. Treasure every day.

Oh and after my beer I just napped for an hour! I am officially a light weight when it comes to beer! I had a piece of havarti cheese and some slices of Turkey on some wasa crisp bread for lunch, but I think by then the beer was having a party in my brain!

Allie, Great pictures. It looks like it all turned out well. Before we bought our first RV, we read a book called "The Complete Idiots Guide to RVing" and learned tons of stuff that helped us choose our first RV and then be able to do what we were supposed to do to take care of it. It was too hot for me to work in the yard this afternoon because of the temperature and the sun shining in the area I wanted to work. When I came in the house, I found out that both cable TV and wifi were out so I had to deal with 21st century problems and find something else to do. Fortunately the cable came back in time for us to watch the Mariners game. Tomorrow I'll work in the yard very early in the day so I'll have shade and low temperature. Barbie 4

Heather: Our next-door neighbors just got home from a cruise to Alaska. They had a wonderful experience. There weren't many details as they were just barely home and ready to rest a bit.
Barbie: I can tell that you had wonderful adventures in your RVs. I hope we will too. Ours is almost done at the RV repair shop & DH is eager to get on the road. He wants to go see his sister before her shoulder replacement surgery. I know he is excited, but I doubt that she is feeling good enough to enjoy a visit from us in the near future. :noway: I'm happy that your cable TV and wifi came back on in time for you to watch the Mariners. :bigsmile:
Rye in TX: There are many different types of RV's. The kind we have is self-contained but can also take power and water access from a park if available. Sewer is similar. Some parks have hook-ups that include power, water and sewer, and others don't have any of those services. The array of camping equipment choices is amazing. In our past we had tents, a travel-trailer that we towed with our car, and now a full service motor home. Our sailboats follow the same progression. The one we have now has taken us out into the ocean and up into Puget Sound several times. We lived aboard for weeks at a time. Unfortunately DH can't enjoy that any more because of his MS. I would trade a lot to be able to do it again
Rebecca: Happy Birthday!!! :flowerforyou: I remember you telling stories of elk in your yard when you lived near Astoria. :devil:
Margaret: Sending good thoughts for your friend.
Rita: We have friends who have a fifth wheel trailer that is so big they have to occasionally go a different route because their rig won't fit under some overpasses & tunnels. Yikes! :noway:
Allie: Your daughter is gorgeous and the outdoor wedding seems wonderful. :flowerforyou:
My riding plans fell through. I woke up sore from working on the storage unit yesterday, and DH wanted to keep going today, so I had to sacrifice my ride. Riding tomorrow was my back-up plan, but I have two problems. I'm even sorer today than yesterday, and I am supposed to go to brunch with friends tomorrow morning. I think getting to the stable at all will be a challenge. Wish me good luck and good sense.

Hello ladies: Warm day here today and DD and I got a lot of yardwork done. I bought a horse last weekend and we will go to pick him up tomorrow. His name is Bandit. I rode him last weekend and he is a nice boy but when I first saw him I thought it was the wrong horse. In the pictures he looked chestnut but in real life he is a red dun. He has been living with only geldings and here he will be with two mares. I think he will have some adjusting to do.
Rebecca - Happy, happy birthday!
Heather - Glad you are enjoying the cruise.
Machka - Still sending healing angels.
Katiebug - Sorry about the boot and in the summer too. Must be hot.
Allie and Janetr - Congrats and hope the weddings went off without a hitch.
Katla - Sorry about your riding plans. Hope the RV lives up to all your expectations.
Ginger - Sounds like you have had a rough start to the year. Hope things improve from now on.
Everyone take care, Sue in WA2 -
Grandma and handsome grandson. On the right you can partly see my youngest daughter, mother of the groom.
