WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR JULY 2018

Machka thanks for sharing the great beach walk news. Trust it was healing and restorative for you both. that course sounds right up your alley. So glad the university has been surprisingly supportive of you during this challenging time.
Heather enjoyed reading about your brother's ceremony and party. Curious as to what prompted the renewal of vows, a special anniversary? a more lavish ceremony than the original wedding? None of my beeswax of course! Good thing you think quickly on your feet and can extemporize at need! I'm also always amazed at how civil many can be to their exes. For me, if it was serious enough to end the marriage, it would absolutely end all contact except as needed for children's welfare. Good thing I've only been married once and we're going on 30+ years... ;} The second caption made me giggle What is WITH the vendors' agent? Slowing down the paperwork only postpones his/her commission, no? What does your agent say was the vendor's agent reason?
Mary prayers continue for your daughter. Could it be time for a second opioion? Dang but your mother looks great, your sis also. So your mother was 65 when she had you? As for you, I've said it before, hubba hubba.
Lisa your "strenghth and honor in the choice" words made me choke up. I've been thinking how grateful I am to see the example of Rori, Lanette, Katla, Rita, Joyce and of course Machka in husband care giving. Pray I'm never brought to that test, but if I am, you all are shining examples to follow.
Michele, "I should be stronger"... hmm. maybe not. Maybe it was part of the grieving process over to losing relationship with your son? Not weakness but needful processing? Cheese, fruit and chocolate are way better ways to go over than doughnuts, bread and fries You'll disappear those 3 lbs in no time at all. You are so petite, could the child's frames fit you? I'm a big believer in choosing the frames you want, despite all other factors. They are on your face, next to your eyes, all day every day. If they're too heavy or pull on your ears, or slide off your nose, it's a constant irritation no one needs. Sure hope Colby doesn't expect you or vince to pick up and move his bed!
NYKaren I'd love to set Tumble and Scooter loose in your attic, but alas its a long way from Oregon. See if there are any "barn hunt" events near you and you'll find passels of hunting terriers whose owners might love them to have some real world experience
Allie Not getting paid? :noway: from Nolo press "You are entitled to receive your final paycheck within time limits set by state law." Time to call your state's labor dept, find info here:

ditto what Lisa, NYKaren, Beth, Katla, Evelyn and Michele said. Could be your dream job, you'd be a blessing to them.
Beth so happy for your son's improvement.
Margaret con VERY grats on the positive physical changes!
Carol ((hugs)) and safe travels.
Rebecca nervousness before surgery is not wimpy only sensible. Hoping by this time tomorrow the procedure will be past and the parathyroid problems behind you dibs on the ID pocket on your left (oops, political!)


Katla when you were 11 or 12 you "saw elephants come in the door" in Nevada casino??? Amazing transformation in your husband's energy, attitude and happiness levels. New eating plan and new RV interest, huzzah!
Lenora so glad your counselor helped you feel better.
pip, you lost Lenny way too young.
Rita ditto Rye, eager to see pics.

Welcome esocha!

60 g protein 12/15, meditate 9/15, walk one more step 8/15, knee exercises 9/15, walk Tumble 8/12 times, SWSY 0/6, hang up or purge art 0/1

I am on a cleaning and purging tear today. Too hot to be outside but my city work department is working big time delivering large recycling containers just for paper to me and my neighbors. They also came by and took down a dead tree from the side walk. We should get a new tree in the fall. Also, a bike share has come to town, dock less! So good to see changes coming (albeit small ones) to improve our environment and quality of life in my little city!!

Oh yeah, I started the day by exercising

total cal 1084 rode in to work, and will ride in tomorrow, no gym workout, more OT

AND SH$T HIT THE FAN, they fired the general mgr, he was the guy we all liked and got stuff done, NOW whats gonna happen

Did 5 minutes of hula hoop, held my plank for 3 minutes, then took the extremepump class. The plan for tomorrow is to do a 10 Minute Fitness Ball Workout.

Lenora – I have front loaders and I love them. However, go to the store before you purchase one and see if it is high enough for you. I needed to get these stands which have a drawer in them just so that they would be a bit higher up for me

Remember the “binge” I told you I went on the other day because I remembered about Bryan and was thinking about how I haven’t heard from him in over a year? Well, today the Wii says I’m back down the 3lbs.

Heather – one time I cut up the spinach/feta into squares to have as appetizers for a gathering we had here once, and everyone really enjoyed it. Hugs, sweetie, on the sale of the home.

Tracy – I think our yard looks nice, too. We have low voltage landscape lights all around the pool, now Vince wants to put these lights that shine down on the ceramics and also help illuminate the sidewalk around the pool. His plan is to put two lights that shine down on the pergola over the equipment pad to light up the ceramics and to help with the lighting on the steps for the slide. I’ll try to post a picture of the pool at night.
Colby said that he might be moving the weekend of the 20/21, Vince was going to change when we were going up to help him. I told Vince that we shouldn’t have to change our plans, there are things that we have planned for that weekend. I’ve told Colby when we’re coming up, I’ve told him that if he needs to rent a truck just let us know so that we’ll know to bring my car up and not the Outlook. If he’s uncertain about what he’s going to do, I’m sorry. It’s pretty late, we need to make hotel reservations and have someone watch the cats (we told him this).

Mary – your sister and mom look really good. Really, that’s not the way someone wants to lose weight.

Allison – at first I thought you meant the office was closing for good, but I believe it’s just closing for the day. Am I correct?

Carol – I went to the local community college’s hair salon and the gal suggested that I get my hair tapered. I didn’t think I’d like it, but after she did it, I really liked it. It was just a subtle taper

Barbara – The child’s frames were a bit small, I could see too much out the sides. Oh, I bet Colby expects Vince and I to move the bed. See, they have two beds, and this one is on Craigslist but isn’t selling. Any amount of money says that when we get there, the bed will not be disassembled. Fortunately, we’ve disassembled it before so we know that it only takes about an hour or so to disassemble. I have an appointment with the opthamologist in November and I’m sure they’re going to change my prescription so I may need a new pair of glasses anyway. Well…I can use these as a backup.

Well, my second seahorse was fired, I picked it up today. The seahorse on the left will go to the condo and the one on the right will go on our pergola.
