    Been meaning to tell Terri that the wedding photos were some of the best I have ever seen. Everyone looked beautiful. I loved your dress.
    KJ- when we would go visit our preemie twins in Dallas the little boy would jump into “Papa’s” arms. The girl was very shy and would turn away. So I would just go away and play with the boy. Pretty soon she would crawl over to be a part of playtime. I know how to excited you are so cherish every moment with your family. After my surprise party, seven of my Colorado family came home with me for three days. I usually spent time preparing for their visit but not this time! We had a great time while they were here.
    Connie- wow girl you are doing great. Keep on keeping on.
    I was a typing teacher and did a lot of proofreading but alas I can’t spell very well. Now I ask Google or Siri. They are pretty good.
    Janetr- your granddaughters are lovely and the dresses so beautiful.
    Heathe- our Bea is getting so big. I love when the kids try to get the most for the amount of money they have to spend.
    M in Oz. Tasmania is so pretty. Thank you for the photos. That is one place we haven’t visited. We did see Australia and New Zealand but not Tasmania.

    Meg - I loved your story about using spellcheck for your paper, I would have been embarrassed too!

    Rori & Karen - I was talking this week to my friend about how much I miss having people over for dinner or just to stop in for a tea. No one seems to visit anymore. I need to come up with a next goal to do something I have never done before. I’m thinking about horse riding lessons. I’m quite afraid of horses though.

    Evelyn - I am thinking of a bike to ride to work too. The weather has been so terrible here the walking has only happened twice so far.

    Lisa - can you add Cristy’s name to the dictionary? I have done that with names in the past so I wasn’t embarrassed.

    On page 42 - almost caught up!

    Walked today cleaning mess left behind in Daughter room. Those boxes 📦 were so tore up it made it hard to sort them fully or move them out of the way ! So falls on Mom lol 😂 nothing ever changes with kids. Good news is she left me towels to disposable plates to use. She got me a diffuser thingy that changes color to relax

    Terri - your family vacation sounds like heaven. I am envious. I hope you enjoy every minute of it!

    Lanette - how do you convince hubby to get rid of things, mine is a cluttering and it drives me insane!

    Karen in NY - I agree we need to speak up in situations like that. Yesterday I went to Costco to buy a new set of tires for my daughter I had been quoted twice that the cost would be 605.00 installed and taxes. They rang them up and it was 726.00, the cost had gone up overnight. I complained and got the original quoted price after a few minute wait.

    Starting page 44 in a bit. Hubby and I are going to spend some time together.

    Suebdew - simply gorgeous! Very classy! You make me want to go shopping, lol.

    Tracey - my DH really needs to unclutter his shop... he has shelves and shelves of drums and a huge drumset and has lost all interest in them. The other day I suggested calling a local auction house, he seemed interested so I wrote down the number. He hasn't called them yet. Sigh. And he hasn't contributed to the clothing pile... but I am sneaky and pulled a few things off the shelf he'll never miss. The wedding photos you posted are priceless. So cute your grandson with suspenders and that hat. He's going to be a heartthrob in another decade or so!

    Suz     - I agree, have a larger supper and really fill up on protein - maybe eat a little later. I have the same problem. :( Try to eliminate the unhealthy salty/sugary snacks and keep cut up veggies handy.

    Rebecca     - it's true, we are a stunning bunch! <3 How's the cleanse going?

    Hi friends! It’s a hot one today! Upper 90s, lots of humidity. I spent a while trying to get my sprinklers working. First it was a dead battery, which turned out to be the backup...we had a power surge the other day and I think it tripped the circuit because there was no power to the outlet. That took awhile to figure out, but now they’re going.

    I didn’t eat lunch today. I just noticed that about 20 minutes ago, at 5. I am just not very hungry. Yay for phentermine. I lost 2.3 pounds last week, but I’m still above my last check in weight. Boo hiss. Knee is still painful so that makes exercise hard.

    Machka: your pics are gorgeous and I loved the cartoon.

    Connie: :O. Some one told me once to be very careful with what words I charted for drainage (pus) coming out of wounds!

    Karen: the laundromat sign is the best!

    Kelly: I had an aunt like your mother and she was fierce. Very strict and stern and would correct your grammar at the slightest mistake. Once when she was up in her 80s, she said something grammatically incorrect and I corrected her without thinking. Everyone looked at me like it was my last moment on earth until she busted out laughing. My mom was like that with table manners, but the consequence was being stabbed in the hand with her fork, or rapped across the knuckles with a knife. Not good tables manners on her part!

    KJ: bwahahahahahah that’s too funny

    Janet: I think if we had more pubic lighting, there might be far fewer teens screwing around! That is so funny!

    Ginny: glad to hear you have made some peace with your husband’s death.

    Sue: sorry for your loss!

    Connie: that’s awesome!

    Rural shutter/ A;: Welcome!

    Heather: wow I’m glad you are ok. Let’s be generous….hubby was in a coma!

    Bananasandoranges: what’s up with the alphabet? Are you angry? Vent away!

    Katla: glad you are having some good days!

    Evie: so cute!

    Sueduz: I agree with Carol, and welcome aboard!

    Everyone’s pictures are so amazing. I enjoy them all. Well I have chores to do. I have to go back to work tomorrow so I want to get some things taken care of around here. Take care everyone, Meg from Omaha

    Sue Fantastic pic, you are an inspiration!

    Snowflake I journal everyday which includes listing goals, some are farfetched, some are completely easy and some are in between, sometimes it feels like I'm not getting anywhere, but really circling around them and looking for triggers to help me reach for things works for me. Sometimes it feels like 1 step forward, 2 steps back but I list reaching out socially as a goal often enough that it made me want to take small steps like having someone over for lunch as a goal, not saying no to a lunch date, etc. Am I an introvert, yep, and always will be (hooray) but reaching out is okay too, just discovering that about myself.

    RV Rita- I start with things with holes 🕳 I don’t see them wear. Sock 🧦 here sick there blame the washing machine! Must be eating them! Cough* cough*. Toss old newspapers to stuff I know won’t be missed (Not a coffee can of screws it’s their holy grails!!!) . Act all crazy about cleaning start moving stuff I don’t want further y further into a corner look up in amazement if something’s said then simply say “That Junk?” When the snappy comeback comes “Well I only see my stuff in that pile!” I point to a bunch of my items that needed to go y the kids say well that wasn’t your dress 👗 was it? Lol I am similar to OCD about cleaning tho so guess they chalk it up to that. Was accidentaly diagnosed as OCD as a kid but it’s more the fact Mom y me have low immune system now JR with his skin breaks (severe eczema/KP) got to keep certain stuff clean or we got/get infections easily.The meds are terrible! I also put out big box marked donations ask hubby anything to donate? A few minutes later ask again.I forget a lot anyways so why not do it on purpose once in a blue moon to clean!
    Seeing me purge y hinting he hits his area hard.He has sheds for him only to junk up I don’t touch them.Too afraid 😱 of the giant raccoon in the one!

    Sue in TX gorgeous, outfit, gorgeous model. Thanks so .much for sharing your pictures.

    Tracy, all of your hard work and planning paid off. Beautiful wedding pictures.

    Evie your picture of grandma and grandbaby is priceless.

    Heather, our beautiful little Bea has gone from baby to little girl. Your grandchildren are all so good looking. Thanks for sharing.

    Meg in Omaha, I too have gotten some laughs from all our spell check misadventures. I mean you CAN'T make this stuff up :)

    We have just returned from taking my daughter to the airport. I'm always sad because I know it will be way too long before I see her again.

    Love you my friends

    Hi Gals,

    Heather - I love the name “candyfloss” we call it Cotton Candy I agree with Bea it looks better than it tastes! ---- ok others what is it called where you live?

    Snowflake – invite folks for dinner! I have company 1-2 times a week, just family dinner… especially invite a single person, I would love to be invited over, but no one does that so I just invite them here. I have had to come to terms with the idea that no one will invite me – they will just keep saying yes to coming here, and I always have in mind some thing they can bring if they ask.

    Lanette - I don’t know if this would help DH with the drum set, but our local high school will take donations, the folks across the street had a drum set and the band director and a few kids came over and got it, the school was so thrilled.

    Oh one other question... a friend was moving and gave me a bag of food she was not taking... in it 3 cans of sardines... what do you do with them? I have never eaten them, I asked my mom she said they are bait - so I should go fishing... but they are food -
    ???

    Thanks for feedback on grief. I expect I will have times when it runs me over, but I am working on accepting that I feel what I feel.

    Lisa—I prefer walking outside but am with you when it comes to heat and humidity. I have mine in my basement, so it is easy to get 30 minutes or so in before work. I am getting back to my lunch walks at work, so between the two that an easy 6,000 or so steps (I am working on changing up speeds on treadmill).

    Machka9-I have a mini home gym-treadmill, bike, free weights. Not much for the idea of going to gyms-having equipment here takes away my excuses.

    Suz—I think Carol gave good advice. Also, I am just a snacker so I plan my food accordingly.

    Kim-my husband liked sardines, I could never tolerate them. You can always give them a try. . .

    Accomplished much this weekend-weeding, cleaning, hung a picture. Actually did a short kettlebell routine (only 10 reps of each exercise, trying to start out sensible). Got my steps in today with 60 minutes intentional walking. Pleased that I am now staying steady with supermen. Planks are still a tool of the devil. Ashamed to say I can do one regular (on my toes) and a second from my knees, but it is getting easier to hold each for 30 seconds. May try for three next time.

    Brother and wife in from Florida-got together with brother and SIL who live here for dinner. Had some good laughs.

    Have a good rest of the day and a good start to the week.

    Michele - I miss clothes on a line too, I don’t understand why so many places ban it.

    Evelyn - what a sweet picture! How old is she now, I’ve forgotten her name.


    Lanette - my face looks too thin when I lose too. My neck looks old too. I don’t know why it can’t leave my belly area!

    Heather - those girls are adorable.

    Suzduz - I have the same problem, I have found making sure I’m busy with a craft or project keeps me from snacking. Sitting in front of the tv doesn’t do it for me.

    Okie - I am anxious to see the photographer’s photos she actually got in the house with us to get pics.

    Finally caught up!!!!!

    I know there was a lot more I wanted to comment on but was finding it difficult to keep it all straight.

    I’m looking forward to getting back to a new routine this week. Starting my new job on a full time basis, having some nice weather for a change. Just looking forward!

    Great pics, all!

    Unfortunately, the treadmill was nonfunctional... It's now in the back of the truck for the next trip to the dump. However, got a workout anyway, as we got lots of underbrush and low-hanging limbs cut, and on the burn pit to dry out. Nearly 6 ft. high pile of branches filling an 8 ft. diameter pit.

    Short weekend.

    Love y'all,
    Lisa in AR
