Today is a high 60's cloudy day, so I am simmering chicken for chicken stock.
Had chicken, cucumbers and tomatoes on melted cheddar and pepper jack cheeses on Wasa multigrain crackers.

Have a great weekend!0 -
Rebecca, thank you for the Athena pics - she is so charming, and looks like a happy girl.
I had to stay well away from Facebook yesterday, as my daughter has a habit of taking departures very hard--her husband left for Poland yesterday, and her Facebook feed was filled with goodbye pictures, everything from crying babies to soldiers walking away. Unbearable for me, but just her way to pull her support system around her. She called today and seemed in good spirits, as he arrived in Germany - a 14-day quarantine before they can move on, even with full vaccination for the soldiers.
Oh, and long story, but my son quit the amazing job he went to in Yellowstone and is now living in Billings, Montana, with a girl he fell in love with. She landed in the hospital with a "stress seizure," and had no family or anyone there--he had no vacation time, so simply walked away from the job to take care of her. He has always been a magnet for the damaged people. I said nothing but "Oh, ok," because he is a grown-*kitten* man, and didn't ask for my advice.
Last but not least, only four customers showed up for the Farmer's Market, and only two vendors, the lady selling eggs and me. On the bright side, I sold something to each customer, and the egg lady sold only one dozen eggs. But, until the vegetables start coming in, not sure we'll see much in terms of traffic. Ordinarily, they would be selling already, but the combination of a late frost, that tornado that came through and weeks of drenching rain, everything was late getting started...
Later, y'all,
Love,

Lisa: I love the idea of a farmer’s market and wish you the best, both in selling and meeting the community who shop there. Profit is a great measure for you to count your success.

Lisa - Sorry there were so few people at the farmers market....
Rebecca - Love the Athena pictures, those sunflower shorts are adorable.

Did my dumbbells. Yay!
I ate very lightly today in preparation for my usual big Sunday dinner. At least I have some idea of the calorie numbers. NSV!
Lisa- sorry about the poor showing at the farmer's market. You worked so hard, despite your illness!

Evening ladies
Went to a friends place this evening and we were outside.. was nice left just in time before it started raining...going to get up early to grocery shop..1 -

I didn't realize how tired I was yesterday until I went for my evening walk today and noticed how much energy I had by comparison.
Lisa, so sorry the market wasn't better attended, especially after all your hard work.
We have officially declared our pathetic zucchini plants a "learning experience" and will buy better dirt next year.

Hi,
I’m looking to join in. I’m 50 and have around 65 or 70 pounds to lose. But more importantly I’m working on my health. I’m feeling pretty good because I’ve standardized breakfast and lunch. I’m trying cook soups for myself as well. I
The idea is to make a double batch and give the family one pot while putting the rest up for me.
I just found out yesturday that all these odd symptoms I’ve been having are due to anemia. I was afraid they were caused by neurology. Anemia is easier to deal with. I started iron pills last night. MFP tracks iron if I log, so that’s exciting.
I decided to stop drinking wine, etc and haven’t had any since March. So I feel pretty healthy that way too. We walk about 5 days a week. I’m giving myself a break this week and am only walking 4. But, next week I’m back to 5 again. I think I’m doing pretty good and am looking forward to getting more healthy.
Nice to meet you all

Up at my mom's this weekend on a fishing expedition. I did manage to find my dad's medical records from his breast cancer experience, and I took pictures of, what I believe, are the key pages of information for my doctors. I cannot find his genetic test results, and it is super frustrating. I did find the letter documenting the suggestion that he get it done, so that gave me a date to look after, but his medical records in his office are a bit sketchy after that date.
This would be so much easier if I could just talk to my mom, but I absolutely cannot do it yet. I just don't have enough information. I did think of a couple more places to look tomorrow before I leave, but my niece's daughter is staying with my mom as well tonight and sleeping in the living room. I was planning to look in some "secret" places in the dining room hutch, but I don't know how to do that with a 12 year old sleeping on the couch!! Lol If my mom has a copy of the report in her room, I won't be able to get to it. Except . . . she asked me to make her bed. I am off to do that right now and will try to quietly open a few drawers.
ETA: Darn. My niece's daughter made her bed. Oh, well! :-)

Flea - You paint such a wonderful picture of your 'spying'! Secret Agent Flea.
Lisa - Oh phooey to the Farmers Market. I hope you have big freezers. Sorry your son has such a loving heart (or something like that, but you know what I mean) And no, we can't put our wise old heads on their young shoulders.
Rebecca - Lovely photos. I bet you can't wait for your summer trip down there.
I've been reading about the heat in the South West and thinking about Rita RV. Anyone heard from her?

"Get to do"s and "chose well"sChose well: BP, dog groupJoyful June:
Bonus: chopped two more tarploads, 45 mins grooming Tumble.
Get to do: take BP, dogs to powerline, church, council meeting, figure out how to see what’s using all our mobile data, USE those torture bands/do that BB&B video, call S, fire district: finish and email draft minutes, drop off cookies, ongoing: input 2019 call sheets into NFIRS, work with chief on equipment letter, substance abuse policy, NFIRS mutual aid and other missing details, ask for boots donator contact info, appreciation letter or certificate to boots donator, index mutual aid files; watch STAS Day 20, declutter sideboard, learn new dances (Nothing but You, Do Your Thing, A Little Less Broken, Blame it on my beating heart, Homesick; practice dances: One Margarita, I’m so used to being broke, All Night, Pure Movies to Wine, Beer, Whiskey, I ain’t never gonna love nobody but Cornell Crawford (Alley cat),); finish mulching flowerbed, invest another 10 minutes in prepping living trust, Freddie’s for complete series TDAP <$48, get Shingrix vaccine, find and configure a screen time popup, figure out where to plant the last of the naked lady bulbs, and soon as it warms up above 50 and dries out below 60% humidity I’ll tape and spray paint those rusted areas of Aunt Elsie’s stove. ask Terry about GB’s FD firetruck tax levy – contacts, media, advocate???, Reward: inventory seeds, plan this spring’s garden, wishlist replenishments (Milena F1 orange peppers).
20-Rediscover and enjoy a fun childhood activity: not particularly active as a child, perhaps swimming? Maybe try water aerobics Thursday if enough progress on cleaning house in prep for K.
Finally got Tumble out to dog group but wow, it was HOT! Weather guy said 97F. Not as bad as the rest of the nation but 20+ degrees above normal for us. After three little barks telling the new dogs that she was LA ALPHA, she settled down and did great.To spare the dogs’ pads, instead of long walk down Chetco Av we took short walk around the bank and did exercises on grass rather than asphalt To spare ourselves we quit a little early. Stopped at Pancho’s for take away lunch. Pandemic positive: Margaritas to go – just what the weather called for. Joe even ate and sipped with me for awhile. Win win win!
Kim “recognizing” vs “implementing” boy howdy, you said it! Transplanted zukes into large pot, prepped with potting soil and fertilizer mix. Then we had a two day downpour. Will post pic tomorrow.
Rebecca Athena Rose in the strawberries!
Lisa that your son had to choose between caring for someone he loved and the job he loved.
Welcome @Numer1ca Jennifer in the PNW! Sounds like a good plan.
Flea good investigating! ((hugs))
Lighter, lovelies!

Hi my name Pam I just started today. Need some encouragement to stay onthis program.7

Our little Rhody wants to learn to read. When I lie in bed and read, he will come in and "select" several books from the collection I have under the edge of the bed.
Once selected, he'll sit on them, dig through them, nibble the edges, and sometimes even open them and lie on them and look at the words.
In the interests of relaxing a bit, I have been colouring! This is my first attempt at colouring in years and years ...
The colouring kit came with a grand total of 6 pens so that's all I worked with. There is only one green pen, but I wanted different greens so I had to blend.
