WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR APRIL 2019

Hello everyone. My name is Beverly from New York. I know that I am a "Johnny come lately," however, I am interested in this challenge. I am enjoying your posts and hopefully, I can add some useful information as well. I am mobility handicapped but still am able to due some exercises and would like to share them with others with the same challenges. I have been with myfitnesspal a while and have lost 79lbs. this year.

Machka in the morning!

Did Jeannette Jenkins Blast the Belly fat DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to take the water class.

Ginger – Where do you get that Choc Zero?

Welcome everyone new!

Allie – I forget, does you FIL know that you and Tom are divorced?

As promised, here is a picture of my Winnie the Pooh. The lady still has to pour the Tigger for me. I’ll post a picture of the frog after we finish getting it ready (meaning Vince finishes it) It looks like the thing in his had needs to be cut down and somehow it need to be secured to the hand so it doesn’t blow around in the breeze.

Michele Cute WInnie the Pooh! How many ceramic figurines do you have?

Notre Dame Cathedral's Rose Window and some of the other stained windows, the famous pipe organ, the bell tower, several statues, some artifacts/relics, and a good portion of the interior are safe or salvageable.

Michele, I read Machka’s list, and my first thought was on there: Slow Down

Welcome, Beverly! Another newbie (somebody help me with her name) was asking for suggestions for chair exercises a while back. It may have even been in the March or February thread. I’m sure there are others who can benefit from your suggestions. Feel free to go ahead and post them. I know I broke my ankle last summer and needed some. Carol from GA is having knee surgery and might enjoy seeing what you do as well.

I’m slowly but surely getting the house back together. My husband was so sweet yesterday. You know how I am about the budget and categories, etc. Well, I had $1100 left in the home maintenance and repair category. I was planning to pick up some small rugs for the bedsides and, at some point, a large area rug for the living room. Well, I have had a feeling for a while that we needed to attend to the septic tank. No major red flags, but a little gurgling every now and then from the hall toilet. I had asked around and was expecting to pay around $400 to have it pumped. He called, they came; there were more serious issues uncovered (pun intended) when they dug around it. Final cost: $1075. Bye, bye budget category! Dave, totally out of the blue yesterday afternoon, said, “ Come on, Kay. Let’s go rug shopping. I have $600 in my wallet that I was going to put in my savings (some of you may remember his personal stop smoking savings account), but I am willing to spend it on a rug since I know you were disappointed that the septic tank was more than you were expecting. I didn’t think it needed it. Turned out you were right. I’m glad we had it done. I just want to do this for you.” Yes, that man drives me crazy at times, but he really is a keeper.

This is the one I’m considering.



For this room:



We didn’t purchase it yesterday, but will probably go back and get it this afternoon. The color in the rug that looks like a reddish brown is actually a rich burgundy that matches the curtains and sofa toss pillows very well.

I ended up ordering bedside rugs from Amazon. I haven’t been able to find what I wanted in the stores and found one I liked for $20. I ordered a couple plus the non-slip mats this morning. They will be here Friday.

I have two bookcases, two boxes of home decor stuff, and 5 boxes of books for the thrift store. I still have things I need to purge from the study, and a few things still to hang on the walls. My goal is to be finished by Easter.
