    Barbie- I totally agree with you about negative people who don't appreciate their "luck". I think back in my life when I tended to be like that.... so glad I changed my outlook and try to exercise my "gratitude muscle" as much as possible. Counting blessings.

    Kelly - Barbara AHMOD is also a big fan of Tai Chi. The actual Tai Chi I was taught in class was a series of steps and arm positions and breathing. For my friends and I, it was confusing and not relaxing at all, lol. But I did pick up the belly breathing part. Now, my favorite YouTube instructor is Don Fiore. He has short videos which focus on the breathing and positions with repetitive arm movements and weight shifting which are calming and help my balance.

    I've been meaning to mention - the photos of the grands you gals have been posting are great, thank you for posting them :)<3

    Heading out to do some early shopping this morning before the stores get crowded, as usual. I don't think it will hurt to throw a small package of the chocolate covered malted milk Easter eggs into my shopping cart, will it? B)

    Dogs need to be fed and won't let me ignore them any longer, lol.

    Make it a safe and healthy day! <3

    Looking for toddler food recipes for JR easy quick no weird shapes lol 😂 (JR turns down cookie cutter shapes to worm looking items).
    Anyone got any picky eaters like? Maybe I can tweak it even. We’re under a stay home advisory from the Mayor (Taylordebraa8007 too now y my Daughter same area of bases) so trying to make what we got work y stretch maybe get MrPicky to add another item to his picky short list.

    Karen in VA: I love the photos of your grandchildren. :heart:

    Barbie: If I was scheduled to go on a cruise I would also cancel at this particular time of health worries. Being in close proximity to too many strangers is currently worrisome. Air travel is the worst thing I can think of because of the recycled air on long flights. I think this is a scary time to be in an airport or jet. :noway:

    Machka: Congrats on your rain! :star:


    Oregon and Washington have had cases of Corona Virus and some deaths. Everyone in our community is stocking up on things like face masks—none were left in town yesterday afternoon. Vitamin C is in high demand at the local stores as is hand sanitizer.

    We heard some sad news last night that an airline has gone bust. It was the one close to us at Southampton that I used a lot. 95% of the airport flights were with Flybe, so the whole airport is currently defunct. Huge knock on impact on the supply chain and the town. I don't live there anymore, but I feel very sad about it. My difficult friend was booked to fly with them for our girls get together in May in Glasgow. She'll have to find another way to get there. Belfast, near Terri, is also affected, but there are other airlines flying there.
    Had a letter from Saga today, just reiterating what is on their website. Things are changing fast, so it's already out of date. ;)

    Katla - Don't think vit C is going to be much use! Nor face masks, they say. :*;)

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Heather: I don't think vitamin C is a cure for anything other than scurvy, but it is part of helping the body be at its best. We have all that we need. What IS in short/no supply around here are facemasks. Everyplace in town that carries them is sold out. :ohwell:

    There are a lot more coronavirus tests going out this weekend so new cases are bound to be discovered next week. Not looking forward to that. I'm worried about my trip to Tuscon the end of the month. The last thing I want to do is bring this home to my parents. Nothing to do but worry and wash hands.

    Pat ~ Lovely job of weaving. What part of N GA are you in? My husband and I graduated from the U. of NGC in Dahlonega. Also, Dr. Katie is from north Georgia but I think it is more over in the eastern part.

    Good to see the baby better today. Shots are so horrible for them but worth it.My family has lost limbs from tetanus to hundreds of babies from German Measles. That’s something my Baby Doctor has written down if he gets German Measles even if vaccinated he will be hospitalized to be safe she said (family history tale take signs are important if a person can get them but many cannot).

    Learned the CDC was going to release the 100’s from the cruise ship 🛳 at the same mall that had the Coronovirus lady. Luckily our mayor stopped that nonsense,but some live here so released went straight to our community,others drove so stopping for gas ⛽️ to food 🍟,rest hands held tossed on the plane ✈️ like they would wonder off like a toddler (sure they appreciated that ).

    JR licked 👅 ALL our paper plates we bought for emergency 🚨 just in case. Lol so contaminated check ✅ ready for more germs 🦠 to add to them. Showed him away he went right back heard him counting until he got to the plate he missed! Boys/Men are a different breed for sure.

    Looking for recipes I bought mayo can use it instead of yougurt in his pancakes 🥞 it lasts longer. Not opening them until needed. Trying to find handy recipes for him. I accidentally put tiny but of Guacamole in his quesadilla wasn’t thinking so it got rejected. Got 2 cans of protein powder can use water in it if were out of almond milk 🥛 . JRs bores keeps asking for McDonald’s. Sorry kid but nope 👎. He wants his Birthday 🎁 now ! Well too bad so sad scheduling it for after his Bday Saturday 14th my Dads coming out will play it by ear 👂. Stay at home eat what I make to a restaurant takeout or sit down will see where the warnings are for the city to other stuff 3 adults will decide (Dad studied basic medical in college so good when his minds working still to have his opinions).

    Good news April is coming maybe this will all subside awhile fingers crossed 🤞 with you guys.

    Looking at other exercise equipment for later on haven’t decided yet will see. I’m still researching.

    Cruise 🚢 updates :sweat_smile:
    https://apple.news/AzNqTN-xCRsKteUc0als0LA

    They stuck 2,500 new people on the infected one after everyone was removed recently. Now their getting sick 🤒 😷 too. So guess money 💵 was on their minds not safety at all .

    Pat - LOVE your weaving. You are a true professional. Do you sell your work?

    Katla - The advice over here is that masks are pretty much useless. Vit C is a waste of time unless you don't eat any fruit or veg at all. As are most vitamins.

    Personally, and it is just my opinion, I think we will nearly all get what is a flu unless we isolate ourselves completely. I had real flu in 1968 and 1977 and it was horrible, but it passed. The cough I had last year was just as bad. I am not afraid of it. What I am afraid of is hype and overreaction. Many, many people die in this country every year from flu and other respiratory diseases. I do not intend to isolate myself, so it's business as usual and if I catch it, I catch it. C'est la vie. Older people with health or breathing problems should self isolate far as possible and take precautions.
    With the cruise I feel like it's a game of chicken. Who will crack first? I hope it's them and I get a complete refund.

    Still raining.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    After almost scratching all the skin from my feet, legs, and thighs I went to the cosmetologist yesterday. She believes I have Nummular Eczema. My body look awful just covered with these dark scabs! She ended up doing a biopsy resulting in a couple of stitches. They should have the test back early next week. In the meantime she prescribed a huge jar of petroleum jelly based corticosteriod. :s

    Katla: Love the rice crackers for breading the chicken. I intend to try this soon.

    Pat in Georgia: I love watching birds too. We get quite a few different types here during the migration seasons but I do have some Cardinals that grace my front steps every afternoon. We also have an owl nesting near the house that hoots during the night and occasionally flies down the street in the evening.. Our best visitor is a red tailed hawk. It always amazes me how quiet all the birds get when the hawk is out and about. We had two huge trees cut down this winter. I hope I will still get to see my beautiful guests.

    Heather: I am sad for your postponed cruise. I hope you get a refund too.

    Beth: That produce box looks great. I think I might give it a try too.

    KJ (Kelly): I’m doing low carbs right up until the black jelly beans appear on the shelves!

    Walmart jelly bean licorice http://www.walmart.com/ip/Jelly-Belly-Licorice-Jelly-Beans-3-5-Oz/170241804

    Also found pancake 🥞 y syrup Jelly beans ??? Who knew that was a thing lol 😂 http://www.walmart.com/ip/Jelly-Belly-Pancakes-And-Maple-Syrup-Jelly-Bean-3-1-Oz/158112248

    Heather- I agree I’m not afraid of the virus 🦠 I’m more afraid of crazy pandemic rip a baby 👶 out of my arms put him in isolation away from me. Or Hubby goes for groceries someone takes his temp He gets carted off with us at home 🏡 wondering where he went type nonsense. I do worry for my older Father since he a severe asthmatic doesn’t do well with swine flu (he got once) to regular flus y colds. If no one would lock 🔐 you on a cruise ship 🛳 for a month or more just cause 1 person gets it I’d say go ahead y go. It’s the huge reaction from them licking folks away is scary. The folks from the hotel that lady went to y other places have been isolated 21 of them. How many were single parents? Or the main caregiver of their youngest? They still haven’t located everyone from the mall yet. Hubby said go take JR to Chuckie cheese a minute ago then realized oops what he said. I said I’m tired 😴 JR said I tired 😴 lol luckily Hubby was off the hook lol. He forgot Mayor saying stay home right now. JR licked the windows so my next step is to wash windows. Have no clue why he in a licking phase... Dad said I did that as a kid so probably in his
    🧬 genes 🧬 . He been watching cats out the window probably the source of the sudden licking thrill.

    Took the Power Hour class. No plans to exercise tomorrow since I’ll be driving home

    Heather – so sorry about the airline.

    Katla and Heather – the news here in FL is the same – the masks are useless unless you have the virus. They’re asking people not to buy them unless they absolutely need them because then the people who really need them (hosp. workers, etc) can’t get them.

    Went to the Y and we had to have the class in another room. There were no fans at all. Actually, I found that I had to use lower weights. We had to bring all the equipment in that room. They had the Zumba class in the aerobics room. Usually it’s in the gym but the gym is closed for a few days. Why they just couldn’t cancel Zumba for one time is beyond me. But who am I???

    Barbara – I wish I could run the towels thru a spin cycle, but the washing machine down here doesn’t have that option. Good luck to Joe

    After exercise went to Publix to take my recyclable bags. They are the only ones who have a bin where you can recycle your egg cartons. Then went to buy gas, then get money at the bank. Home and in the pool only my headphones lost the charge so I came upstairs, put them on to charge while I washed the floor, then went back into the pool. Or I should say lay out in the sun. Just put a lot of things in the car. Of course, there are some things that can’t go in now, like the refrigerated items.

    They have a meeting today to talk about smoking on the condo property. I’m very much against smoking, wouldn’t bother me one bit if they said no smoking on the property. But I know that’s unrealistic. But they’re talking about being able to smoke along the seawall and 20’ from the building. Now that I have a problem with. If the wind if blowing, the smoke could blow into the condo of the person on the first floor. Is that fair to him? Do they mean that technically someone can stand outside the pool and smoke so the smoke goes into the pool area? What do they do with their cigarette butts if they’re smoking by the seawall. Throw them in the river? This should be an interesting meeting.

    Michele getting ready to leave FL <boo hoo>

    Barbara: So far, our local stores are well stocked with food and staples. The exceptions are hand sanitizers and face masks. I could not find any face masks and only two tiny bottles of hand sanitizer yesterday. :star:


    I have a city meeting scheduled for next week. I wonder whether it will be cancelled. We shall see as time goes along. So far there is no information from the city. I plan to go to yoga tomorrow unless I find out that it is cancelled. This is a one day at a time situation.

    Any one who has an elderly relative must be worried. <3 Or someone with a compromised immune system.

    My pigs cheeks in cider were heavenly. :D Cabbage with it. I did them in the IP.

    I managed to get to the rower and bike this afternoon so I'm within calories.

    Love Heather UK xxxxxxxx

    Don’t worry I didn’t eat that sandwich! Saw it while out with the baby been trying to figure out what it is. Found out yuck 🤢 lol. I thought it was a weird sweet bread 🥯 or bagel from the road lol 😂.

    Been on the cell with Daughter off y on checking in no one told her the bases lockdown for Active Shooter was over. A threat that luckily wasn’t carried out so probably a letter or call only or someone heard a car backfire. https://www.10news.com/news/local-news/san-diego-news/security-threat-sends-naval-base-san-diego-into-lockdown?_amp=true

    Michele- Be careful driving . I’d be more concerned they’ll throw the cigarette 🚬 butts around the pool means it gets in the water gross (I lived at an Apartments as a kid was what happened).

    Katla- true 1 day at a time for us all. They said hand sanitizer doesn’t even work against this use soap 🧼 wash good only.
