Heather: You are gorgeous. Why would you try to disguise your pretty face? :huh:
Rori: We had chocolate & peanutbutter ice cream for National Ice-cream day. :bigsmile:
Anne PNW: Welcome to a great group! :flowerforyou:
Souchi: Welcome to a great group. Join in and get to know people. Some of us have been here for quite a long time, met our own weight loss goals and stick around so that we don’t fall back into bad habits.
Barbara: Thanks for the healing thoughts for Arrow. He is doing just fine according to his owner. She has asked me to work with him. I’ll give it a shot this week. I have no brilliant ideas about keeping bears out of the garbage. We have curbside garbage service weekly. There are two cans, ordinary garbage and recyclable stuff. The recycle can is the larger one.
Machka: DDIL fell in love with pilates & became a certified pilates teacher. It has been great for her. I hope you are as pleased with your pilates experience as she has been. :flowerforyou:
Thanks to all of you for good birthday wishes. My son flew out for home yesterday. We had a great visit. Having him here was the best birthday gift and a complete surprise. We spent part of the day at a destruction derby at the fairgrounds. I used to watch them on TV with my dad, back in the black and white TV days. This is the only one I’ve ever seen in person. It was a nice treat to be there with our son.

my kirby works as a pharmacy tech at virginia mason hospital in seattle, did you guys ever know that? oh well, u do now
Pip I was curious about who the hospital was named after (I didn't remember who "Virginia Mason" was) and found this:
Annie How did everything go at the funeral? Getting all your prep work done for tomorrow will help get you back on track. I've always wanted to try those overnight oats, they sound really good.

Happy Monday hot here today. Did exercise the a bit of deadheading in the garden. Lanette our tomatoes are not doing well this year DH puts it down to the cold spring we had. Been sewing and seem to have got my mojo back not sure why but it keeps my hands busy. Finished this dress today, pattern and fabric at least 25 years old.

I found jeans on sale at Target. I needed to get some new ones for cooler weather. All the ones I owned are way too big now at size16/18. Well much to my surprise and delight, the ladies working the fitting rooms remembered me any excitement at fitting into a size 12 denim shorts. One of them has started the low fat high carb way of eating. Well, to make my day, I tried on a pair of 12 jeans which were big. The worker told me wait a minute I think you are an 8/9 now. I said no way, but she ran and got me a pair that size. My NSV was they fit perfectly! Another exciting day! I haven’t worn a 9 since my 20’s! I’m 63 now!
Now to fix my bowel issues.....

Kate Wow! Lovely.
Rita Congratulations!1 -
Kate, LOVE the dress! Maybe I need to learn to sew clothes, and not just quilts, because as reluctant as I am to wear dresses, I would wear that. Very retro.
Lisa in AR2 -
Kate UK - That dress would be perfect for the Swing Dance.
Love retro.
Rita - You are rocking it!!!!!
Phew what a day!!! Started early with Bea and then on it went. Pushed her up to the school to fetch the bigger ones (in the heat) had to drag them away from the playground and then home to ice lollies and cooking chicken nuggets for tea. DH was somewhat out of action as he has a pulled hip which is quite painful, so I had to be extra strict as he can't lift Bea etc.
All went well though and we are now waiting for my son to get home.
I was able to do my morning exercise as we were awake extra early with DH's pain, so I got a session in before Bea arrived. Thank goodness. I've been picking at their food. Also had an AF beer.
Lanette - I think it's at least 25 years since the last reunion and maybe 35 before that!!!!

Kate ~ So much talent! I made most of my clothes when I was in my teens and up until my late 20's. Now, I can't see well enough to thread a needle. My first sewing machine was a Singer and it cost $90. It still runs!
Carol in GA2 -
Rita - you go girl!!!! I cant wait to get there..3

Carol Is it a featherweight? I have my mom's old Singer featherweight & it's a dream machine.2

Dom, dom DOMinoes . . .This is why I hate cleaning, decluttering, organizing. Anything I touch triggers a cascade from which there is no escape.Karen in VA Cashmere Bouguet and tears, scent is such a powerful emotional trigger. 130 mph in a Yellow Ferrari, you have one lucky grandson!
Yesterday dragged weights and Bosu out of the corner so could roll ficus out for transplanting. My Texas Hill Country cousin sent this when Mama passed in 1995. It survived moving from California to Idaho in '97, then to Oregon in '18. It's rarely watered, never fed, and has only been transplanted once before, how does it survive? To make room for bigger pot, shifted yoga props bookcase and mirror a few inches, but rolltop too heavy, forget it. Move palm, too close to meditation candle, shift to other side of buffet, ugh, get dust rag and get busy, shove palm toward window, eeek inhabited spiderweb! Vacuum crevice tool, tie back drape to maximize light, squeeze pot into corner, uh oh, what to do with the weights and Bosu? Last time I tried SWSY with ankle weights, couldn't lift my legs. Removed one bag from each, store bags in box, shove box into corner. Incorporate hand weights into yoga prop book case. Will NEVER use the mega leg weight so find the missing weight bars and donate. Whoops, two still missing, pull dumbbell box back out and store the leg weight there till the missing bars show up (right). Oops forgot to put the desk lamp back, roll tree back out? No way. Squidge the lamp in, thread the cord around tree, squeeze between tree and desk to plug it in. Tip Bosu up against wall in meditation area.
Proud of getting the weights into the yoga prop bookcase, stashing the heavier dumbbells between the rolltop and the wall, moving the ficus back to the window.
Deeply ashamed of everything else. This is my office/dance practice/meditation/workout/music/craft room. Do NOT ask to see behind the closet doors. Minimalists beware, the video will give you the heebie jeebies.

It's 9:54 and I'm hot, sweaty, dusty, still in my bathrobe with hair uncombed and teeth unbrushed. Is it too early for a glass of wine in the hot tub?
Katla Whew for the good news about Arrow.
Barbie "... now I have to bring some (rocks) back..." Isn't that just the way it goes?
Kim I'm with your mom about sardines, but Joe loves 'em. Rough cuts and scatters over rice and veggies. Good lean protein and calcium source. The dogs love 'em too! Sinky kisses, blecch.
Machka my nose runs too when I walk briskly. What the heck is with that?
Lisa did your son say why the change in majors? IMHO bio sciences have a better work forecast... but maybe there was a yuck factor? Egg must be related to Petronius the Arbiter in Heinlein's Door into Summer. One of my favorite books, the Roman Petronius not so much.
Amber that Spring Cleaning checklist makes me soooo grateful it's summer
Heather I'm with you on not liking myself when I envy someone else's accomplishment. IF I can channel the envy into self butt-kicking to work on what I've procrastinated, I start to feel better. But sometimes it's just a vicious cycle down into the dumps. ((hugs))
Only through page 50 but my eating window just opened and I'm HUNGRY!
Lighter, lovelies!

Tips - Shredded Chicken for recipes can add fajita seasoning to well any for any recipes even to add to soups.
After boiling,baking,broiled,crockpot, steamer,etc on cooking methods when you first take it out take 2 Forks 🍴 Pull 2 Directions .It’s that simple also good for freezer meals to reheat later or add to recipes.
Kate- It’s Gorgeous!!!
RV Rita way to go on the shirts!!!
Bears 🐻- Some people hire a 2nd trash service if they can afford it to come out in between their main services to do a pick up or a trip to the dump in between.Every one here’s tried special sprays to cans not much else left other than this last resort...even then you have to find a service who will come out in between not the same day as the main one! I had to have 2 along time ago due to so many kids y living near wildlife. I payed extra dues for my Saturday HOA trash dump so drove with 2 bags in the back of my car truck.Had a guy come by once a week think it was Tuesday or Thursday. Then if need be a ride to the dump $15 a pop to dump a few bags. Trash was litterely our main bill next to water y electricity. I found the cheapest ways! The trash guy little truck with a big cage back fired as it drove up lol 😂 guess I needed to pay him more to get that thing fixed!
Lol I spring Clean every 3 months each season.Lol but calling it by any other name than spring gets confusing lol

Thanks for the info on the hospital story. I forwarded it to kirby 2 c if he knew1
-
Just dropping in to share a photo of our houseguests. They are here for three weeks. It's very sad, because they are not well socialized and have a TINY cage. I ordered a new cage for them (much more appropriate size for 2 guinea pigs), and it will be here in a couple days. I hope the owners will accept it as a gift when they are back from holidays.

Carol your dress is gorgeous and looks terrific on you. Almost ALMOST makes me want to sew again. I've done so in years.
Rita, wowzers girlfriend. You look terrific, what a tremendous NSV !
Love you my friends,
Janetr OKC1 -
Amber - thanks! Guess I was too tired for the extra step of defrosting
Karen- the funeral went very well thanks. 81 people showed up, mostly my parents friends who never knew my brother, but it was excellent for my parents. One of my cousins had taped an improvisation on the piano for the funeral. There was a reception at the church afterwards, with cousins and friends. My mother said the service was perfect. My sister went back home to Tennessee after a good visit.
I really love the overnight oats. I make it with pea protein powder. It comes out cold and creamy yet very filling.2 -
Annie
Glad the funeral went well. Glad for your mother, too.
Does pea protein taste like peas?

Walked home to garner extra calories. I've totalled 850 burn today and needed every one.
My DDIL is going to be on Breakfast TV on Thursday, BBC One. Apparently they heard her on Woman's Hour and want her for the TV. It's in Manchester, so she has got to go up the night before to be there first thing in the morning.
I am really happy for her and will watch, but I really wanted this for myself when my memoir came out and fantasised about it. I felt sure it would happen as I felt mine was an important and current story.
Ugh. Ugh. Ugh. Yes, Barbara, I don't like myself.
It is all hands to the pump this week with the other grandparents arriving tomorrow morning and the old nanny coming back on Wednesday for a couple of days. What a very difficult organising job.
DDIL is taking August off.
Love from a very envious Heather in the UK., (It is going to be very hot this week.)
