And we can add Olivia to that list. Such an inspirational comparison. We went through the same with my little great niece. She’s 6 next birthday, and is a hoot!

Took the Power Hour class today.
Welcome everyone new!
Jackie – I, too, am thinking that I would like to have a close girlfriend. Right now I spend so much time helping Vince do things and working around the house, going in the pool. It would be nice to have someone to go to movies, etc. with. Just last night I was saying to Vince that I wanted to see “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood” and asked him if he wanted to go. He said that he wasn’t really interested so I’ll go myself (like I’m going to see Menopause the Musical) I many times do things that he’s interested in but that I’m not particularly interested in (like going to the 500). Oh well…. But it would be nice to have a close girlfriend
Sue – doesn’t the Y always seem to pick the worst time to close the pool? Like ours closed for a week for maintenance this July. Did they do it during the winter? No. In summer. The previous Y I was a member of closed Labor Day week. Right when the kids were back in school and you really wanted to have a restful workout.
Pip – so glad you are OK
They do have canasta tonight, I just don’t remember if it’s at 6 or 7. So I’ll go to the clubhouse at 6 and if no one comes I’ll come back up to the condo and go back down at 7. Knowing the people here, I have a feeling that it’ll be 6. For one thing, the clubhouse needs to be locked by 10, so if it starts at 7 that probably only gives 2-1/2 hrs to play and I would think they’d want to play for longer
Marianne WV – yippee!
Stef – OMG, that must have been awful. No warning at all.
Got Vince to agree to sub in the senior bowling league down here, so he’ll probably go tomorrow. Maybe while he’s bowling I’ll bowl a few games.
After exercise went to Aldi – I totally forgot to get Vince vegetables he’ll eat. Then did my thrift store running around. Got a few more DVD’s (like I need more), pair of shorts and a top. Came home, got dinner ready then sat in the sun by the pool. Just came back from Hobby Lobby where I got a Diamond Dotz for my friend. I may go back and get the other one of a pineapple. This one is a flamingo. She has a house here in FL, Also went to Rack Room shoes. Vince wanted to get slippers. They had the ones he likes but at a high price. So since it’s not something he needs this minute, he’ll just wait and maybe we’ll find them somewhere else.
Very windy here today. We’re supposed to get rain tonight
Karen – boy, Olivia sure has come a long way. She’s adorable
Going to have dinner and then off to canasta
Michele now in FL

KJ - I would love to get together the next time you visit.
Barbie - I am indeed very blessed at the opportunities to dance in my area.
Late last year a new friend from line dance kept nagging me to go to the senior country & western dances held bi-weekly at the rec center. I did attend several and danced with a very nice man several times. In early October we met for lunch and have been dating ever since. We usually go dancing 3 nights a week. He has been very patient in teaching me to dance. I can now 2 step, 3 step, shuffle, waltz, cha-cha and west coast swing. I have been divorced 25 yrs and hadn’t dated in 18 years so I surprised myself at being open to a new relationship. (I got a great dog in 2001 and gave up on the 2 legged variety.) Last month we traveled to Savannah and Charleston for several days and enjoyed both cities. My new dance partner is with me in my profile picture. It was taken New Years Eve at a dance.
We have plans to visit Seattle in late May. I haven’t researched the area yet so I would love suggestions on places to visit and restaurants in the area.
Loving the baby pictures.
I spent some time this week going through my clothes. I took 30 items to my favorite consignment store and they accepted 26 of them. As I was losing weight this store and a thrift store were my go tos for smaller sizes. Many times clothes were never worn and still had tags.
Tonight I have the monthly ladies Bunco game in my neighborhood. Everyone brings a dish to share. I made Mediterranean Marinated Cheese. I find it very difficult to resist the sweet treats the others bring. Sometimes I succeed, sometimes I don’t.

Awww the Babies are so cute!
I’m tired exhausted run down! JRs growth spurt beating me up again! 5+ meals a day for him,big poops today he played in it while I was walking up with diaper stuff to change him! Nooooo do bath big bath cut his nails y toe nails too (dont want poop under a nail missed scrubbed him good!. ). He won’t take afternoon nap 😴 he did yesterday only in 5days. He’s proving hard to get to sleep keep asleep he is so hyper full of growth hormone energy! I’m tired the messes he’s making is huge! Almost 3yrs old March is coming!
Ran out of all the foods I made in bulk he’s eaten it all.
I’m loosing weight but more from too tired to finish a meal! His toes popping out of his shoe he won’t give them up cries when I try to toss them (his favorite pair). He’s now in sz 6-7’s we went up a size.

Cathy in Arlington TX: Go to Pike’s Place Market in Seattle. It is fabulous!!! :bigsmile: Go to see this, too: Chihuly Garden and Glass. It is amazing. Don’t miss it. Chihuly was gifted glass artist and the museum is worth your time. My son and DIL took me there for an afternoon several years ago. I will never forget the beauty and color. My rating--
We are looking for a new kitchen hot-tap and faucet. We have placed an order through Amazon. Keeping our fingers crossed that we like it a well as we think we will. We went to several places last weekend to look for a kitchen set. Nothing was just right.
I’m having trouble staying warn today. I think that putting socks on will help. I’ve been knitting dishrags for our kitchen. Many of our old kitchen wash clothes are ready for duty washing cars or windows.

Cathy in Arlington take a ferry. It's inexpensive and easy to walk on and get off on the other side and then get back on and ride back to where you started. Both of Katla's suggestions are ones that I agree with.

"Todo"s and "done"Done: Tumble to groomer, BB&B, Grocery Outlet, Freddie’s for biscuits, mail thank you note to C L, Dollar General for Amy’s bday card, pack walk, more veg prep.
Bonus:
ToDo: invest 10 mins VACUUMING dining room, carry over 10 mins cleaning GuestBth and Living Room, schedule DEXA scan with CHN, finish charitable deductions, download and input mortgage 1098, Shadow to Mini Pet Mart to shop for crate, Freddie’s for complete series TDAP, Woof for gift card, recycling, bake bran muffins, call Carolyn D, call Well Care for TDAP and Joe’s new/old eye drops costs. Next week get Shingrix vaccine. Reward: inventory seeds, plan garden, order replenishments.
Gorgeous day, partly sunny, 50 degrees, no wind so no excuse not to go to dog group.
Leash arm is irritated and painful so took Tumble to dog group instead of Shadow. She behaved beautifully! Only barked half a dozen or so times, and at that only once each. Walked loose leash, thanks to walking buddies Michelle and her Banjo at least as much as the Gentle Leader if not more. One of the leaders commented on how “perfectly” the four of us were walking together. Those who were with the group on Tumble’s first days/months all smiled and congratulated us. Felt pretty good. Came home tired and hungry to be surprised by Joe who’d vaccumed the Living Room! Let me skip cleaning yesterday without feeling guilty.
Betsy ((hugs))
Welcome Stef from MD, Jackie in OH!
Debby in VA, scary flu death statistics. Hope your GS recovers quickly with no complications.
Rebecca and LuciB and Karen in VA OH those grand babies! KJ where’s a recent pic of Joaquin and his baby brother? Karen in VA more Olivia please!
Rori so glad the staff at Vets Club know how to phase in/deal with expected reluctance. Couragia!
Allie ((hugs))
Pip [shudder] People just don’t SEE even when they’re looking. Is there anything more you can do? A day-glo banner/flag? A recording you can blast that yells “Watch out, jerk!” ?
Kylia ((hugs)) Glad your Dr. really listens to you, well done for writing your list of questions.
Marianne rejoicing at your good MRI news!
Today expect to finish taxes, will take “cleaning breaks” to catch up.
Lighter, lovelies!

Thank you every one

Jackie - this will be the third time I've seen it. The first time I saw it, even tho I knew what was coming (someone loaned me the CD), I still had tears running down my cheeks from laughing so hard. The second time I saw it I asked a friend to go with me. Honestly, I think she went more to be nice than anything else. When it was over, she said to me "OMG, I laughed so hard I almost peed in my pants".
If you have the chance to go see it -- go!! But be forewarned -- go to the bathroom before seeing it!
This time I'm going to see a community theater putting it on. Should be interesting.
I'm looking forward to it.5 -
Happy Thursday night from snowy Ohio,
Margaret- thank you for the suggestions. The pull of chocolate is real!!!!! I had raspberries and some granola tonight for dessert. My doctor said honey was okay. I am trying to stay the course. Bloodwork came back negative for RA, so that is good. The scary thing is my white blood count went from 5.5 in 2017, to 5 in 2018, to 4.5 this past August and is down to 4. I have sent her a message to figure out next step. My iron levels are good.
Minor blow up at work between my husband and my son in law. My son in law actually left work early. Some days I feel like I am wrangling 2 yr olds! Don't piss off my son in law! He is the healthiest among us and honestly does everything I ask of him. I don't ask if I can do it myself. SMH! Winter and SLOW are awful for the temper tantrums. Hopefully tomorrow will be better.
Better get some sleep. Hugs to all! I am trying to take care of this body.
Kylia in Ohio where we are finally getting a little winter4 -
n an effort to get a bit more exercise, 3 of us at work are doing the February 500. Walking 500 flights of 20 steps in February!!
End of Week 1 and I'm at 143 flights. That's 2860 individual stairs ... plus landings every 10 stairs.
My legs are tired. I tried to break into a run crossing a road just now and my legs just laughed!! But I'm sure they'll get used to it.

Journey home yesterday turned into a farce!
There was a call out for a doctor or nurse to help someone in the last carriage. We stopped at a station for quite a while so an ambulance called be fetched. Then, when we tried to start again the emergency handle had locked the brakes! Grrr! Alarms, thumps, doors going back and forwards, etc etc. Eventually we got going and had to dump people af the next station so the train could go non stop to Hove. Chaos! I'm afraid that I couldn't resist taking a taxi home from Hove station instead of waiting in the cold for a bus.
DH's back is bothering him again. It was getting slightly better. I hope he will pursue some investigation. I make loving suggestions.

Morning ladies~ had my tea and am watching local news fighting off a cold i think, not what i need at the time being...woke up in middle of night and was awake for an hour, am on the new meds, so far so good...
Heather~ sorry about your train snafu..
loving all the baby pictures.. not much to contribute, but do read everyone's notes..
have the crazy dog in my lap demanding attention..5 -
TGIF! Okay, I still work Saturday, but this has been a long week of grumpy people and no motivation.
Machka- The only stairs I have are at my doctors office. That is 3 flights and my legs burn. I can only imagine as many as you are doing. My youngest daughter tries to take the stairs as much as possible at the hospital. Her lowest flight days have been in the low teens. Max flights so far is 26. I am impressed by you both!
We have 1/2" of snow and from the news coverage you would think we are in a blizzard. We live in Ohio not Geogia. We tend to get snow at some point every year. Slow down. Allow more commute time. Put your d!@* phone away. Be aware. I really think the news is on way too long and runs out of things to report on so just makes big deals out of little things.
I have two of my grands Saturday night. I am excited. I do have to take grandson north to sing the National anthem before a basketball game. Probably will have to go take care of the dogs. But I get to spend time with kiddos.
I sound like I got up on the wrong side of the bed. I really didn't! I am going to turn off tv in our room since husband went to man cave and try to get my day started.
Stay safe in your journeys today!

HeatherUK- HUGS! That sounds like a mess. I don't blame you for taking a taxi!1

Just a quick post, I'm late going over to mums to see how she's getting on this morning. DS been very busy with the flooring, but boy does he leave a mess behind! It's almost finished, he only needs to put the skirting board on in the hallway and the base boards in the kitchen, trouble is, he'll need to shave a few inches off as it was fitted on the concrete floor. It is starting to look good, there's a few more things needed to complete the kitchen, but we are getting there.
He's taken a day off today to go and visit his Auntie and cousins, they are all still devastated over their dogs sudden death, (and the cancer worry of course) I'm hoping to go visit them next week.
I had a fall yesterday, well it wasn't really a fall, my feet got caught up in the cords of a blind that we had put at the side of the garage to throw out. I was walking into the garden to shake the dust cloths and next minute I'm falling into the recycling bin OUCH! I scrubbed my knee and my arm went half into the bin catching me under the armpit. I'm a bit sore today.
I'm a bit behind, I'll try and catch up later, but hugs to those that need them.
Love to all
