WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR SEPTEMBER 2018

Wow Mary! Could anyone have taken them? I never thought of THAT as a reason to lose weight!! :laugh:

Rori - You have been a model of patience for your remodel. I hope you enjoy it to the full, especially as you will be cycling away in your kitchen. Great idea! As well as my morning cycle I do a session alternate days with running in the afternoon. I always watch some tv on my tablet.

Yoga today. I did put out my running clothes last night, but was too groggy this morning and went back to sleep. It's not really light enough now at the time I went out in July and a bit later is too busy with cars and DH wants to start his day. I will run after lunch if it's not too hot. If it is, I will cycle. (stationary)

Had veggie curry last night and I have enough left over for my lunch. Butternut squash, garbanzos, spinach and cauliflower.

One good thing about not moving earlier in the year is that we have been able to enjoy our fruit crop. Gooseberries, blackcurrants, plums, apples, blackberries from the lane and we should be able to use the pears soon. Those that are in the freezer we should be able to eat up.

The mortgage valuer is coming on Thursday for our buyers. A part of me worries that they will try to reduce the price, but I'm trying not to worry.

Good morning all! Happy Tuesday!
Rori- The remodel is beautiful!
PIp- Love your nails! You are going to ROCK this race!
Mary- LOL! Sorry you got locked out; but I am giggling because that is something that would happen to me except there is no WAY I could wiggle into a 12x18" opening! You are amazing! Did you ever figure out what happened to your keys?
Machka- Nice run! Thanks for the info on Labour Day in different areas! It never occurred to me that the school schedule would be different based on where you live. Makes sense, though. School times have historically always went with the farm schedules. Kids, as a rule, went to school when they weren't needed to help on their family farm. So...because your seasons differ from ours, stands to reason that your school year would follow that! Very cool!
Heather- I am already beginning to miss the sunrise early in the morning! I have always been a morning walker/runner so I have a headlamp that I wear when I go out in the mornings. The only down side to those early walks/runs are the spider webs that are constructed nightly between the trees that the bike path runs through. Extra calorie burn as I flail about trying to get them off me!

I am so happy to be done with the "party every day" season! lol It is fun while I am doing it; but man! It takes a lot out of me! It is officially back to school time! For the next two weeks we will be playing/learning and reviewing things the kids already know. In two weeks I will assess where they are and then we will go into our "school" mode, where we have a letter, number, shape, color for each week. We will be working on kindergarten readiness, basic life skills, and social skills all through play. We will have about two party days a month, now. Much more manageable.
I heard from one of my returning families (girls not here in the summer due to mom being a teacher). The three year old has regressed with the potty training over the summer. She is back in diapers. So...I will need to retrain her. I think that is partly due to her baby sister becoming more mobile and getting lots of attention and also to the family's very busy schedule, and the parents putting her in a diaper during those "vacation weeks" because it is easier. Bummer to see all of that potty training work down the drain! Oh well, my three year old boy who started with me in June is not potty trained yet; so maybe he will potty train with this little girl. Here's hoping!
The cupboards are hung in the kitchen and the closets are painted, re-shelved, etc. I just need to put the trim up in the bigger closet (that now is like a little alcove for the daycare kid's things) and I also need to find a bench seat. I am currently using my piano bench, which works; but is not ideal!

I better fly! Kids arriving soon! ttfn xoxoxo KJ (Kelly)

No, I have looked everywhere for the keys in the laundromat and everywhere else and they are not to be seen! I was there was a spare set inside the RV so I am able to lock it up while I go up to the farm. I don't like the idea of somebody else having them. I'm on my way up to the farm for the week so I will be missing in action for a while. I know my mother-in-law has a to do list for me.



Mary from Minnesota/Arizona

I am so upset with myself. I gained again this week. Why can't I get my mind back on what I have to do?

Double rainbow yesterday.

Lisa so glad Corey forward thought about the easy to step in shower. You and Rori and Heather are helping me to re-think my climb on chair to rearrange kitchen cabinets plan...
Karen in VA thanks for Farley's CBD oil story.
Wendy was Cream Soda's mane intact? "grabbed the golden hour" Yes!
Rori converting wasted TV space to closet and storage, brilliant! V pretty!
Mary you crawled up and into your RV through the clothes chute? WOW! Awful feeling that someone might have your keys. Would having locks changed be ruinously expensive?
KJ flailing away spiderwebs in the pre-dawn darkness, you are one brave gal!
Machka your "summer" plan sounds just right.
Vickie ((hugs)) When the upset-with-myselfs strike, try taking one positive action. Do a 5 minute Leslie Sansome walk. Prep a healthy snack. Anything to transform that energy. As Rori reminds, you CAN do this. This advice brought to you by she-who-ate-TEN-pieces-of-salt-water-taffy-yesterday. :{
Rita beautiful pics as always. Does it get very windy there?
Rye like yours, my wii often says whatever test I just completed isn't my strong suit. . . except, like you, for memory, thank Goodness! I should find some time to include balance training-not-just-testing on the wii as Dr. Dougie Hauser will be re-testing on his wii in December...
Welcome sandispaz, let us know what you'd like us to call you and roughly where you are.
Anyone heard from Terry lately?

Great walk on the beach yesterday then a total slug the rest of the day, reflected in meditation and knee care numbers.
Joe used up one of SIL's MONGO zuccini in his breakfast stir frys. I'm tasked with using up the 2nd and we'll sneak in, uh er DONATE the third to some poor unsuspecting soul. Wish it could be you, Barbie! Made these roasted zucchini mozzarella and cheese things yesterday, enough for two and a half meals. Today will grate the rest and make bread and muffins for the freezer. We are zuccini'd out!



Lighter, lovelies!

I'm in a ranting mood; therefore I won't bore you with the details; vacation was a bit more stressful than I expected it to be. I hate being somewhere when I have the feeling that it is just the 'wrong place at the wrong time'. We're thinking about going back out to visit Will and Tami after hunting season and maybe rather than go the week prior to dove season opening up; we'll just make 2 visits per year (not counting the trip that Louis and Trey make to go hunting for a week) and move our visit up maybe by a month. Maybe go in March and earlier in August. They always go off for a weekend by themselves after hunting season is over in mid-February. I have not cried in the past 2 years from leaving there (because I knew that he was happy being married to Tami). I cried when I wasn't asleep in the car coming home. When we left there was a huge rainbow, took several pictures of it and sent it to Tami, then I realized it was actually a double rainbow. Crossed the state line at Ft. Benning, GA and there was another big fat rainbow; it also was a double one. Sent that one to her with the message. A sign from God from our hearts to y'all's and a lot of hearts
