WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR MAY 2021

Katla - so Sorry to hear you lost Schooner. It is so hard when they go.

Horses and goats got their hooves trimmed today. They had to sit on Orville to keep him still, crazy goat. They are all enjoying the green pastures.

My mom has decided she is going to move up here to live with my DD and me after her birthday in August. She currently lives in CA. She will be 97 on her birthday. My sister is objecting to this plan. She is the only one, everyone else in the family thinks it is a good idea. Don't know what her problem is. She is disabled and can't care for herself much less mom. My BIL has enough to do caring for her without my mom being in the mix. Can only wait and see how things work out. Mom ultimately has to make the decision.

Everyone take care Sue in WA

Funny story: Setting: My backyard. It is pretty good sized; kind of rough as we don't use any fertilizer or lawn treatment. Don't even water it, so it does its own thing. Along the back fence, under the pines, a small "crop" of garlic mustard is trying to take over. For those who don't know, it is an invasive plant with a little flower at the top. I don't really mind it, except it grows so fast and so tall and it does make the yard look a little more unkempt. Anyway, one of my childcare boys came to me, almost in tears, with two stalks of garlic mustard in his hands (root and all) and said, "Miss Kel! I'm sorry! I picked your flowers!" I told him," ...that was okay. I was going to pick them later that evening; SO...you are welcome to pick as many as you want! I will even give you a bin to put them in!" He was thrilled. He and about four of the other kids completely cleared my yard of all of the garlic mustard, and had fun doing it! lol I think I will edge my drive and sidewalk one of these weekends and let the boys use the Tonka trucks to "haul away" the cuttings. lol
I had a meeting last night. It was actually in person (masked), only four of us in attendance (out of eight). It was nice to be in the same room with other grown ups, though. Anyway, I left home without my phone. First time I have done that in years. Tim was losing his mind for the two hours I was gone. He didn't need anything, he just heard it ring while I was gone and realized that I didn't have it. It is funny how dependent we have gotten on these little suckers. I never worry about myself without a phone. I have complete faith that someone will help me if I need it. Needless to say, Tim was in a bad mood when I returned. lol

Well...I better scoot. It is a rainy Thursday morning! I have to make "rain plans" to keep the kids busy. Almost the weekend! ttfn xoxoxo KJ (Kelly)

Good morning,
I've been on MFP off and on for several years, but never participated in the forums. 58 and still learning!
Just poking around, getting the hang of it. Hope everyone has a good day!
