Good Saturday!
Car show today so off work Not really, but not going to shop. I caught up on bills and check books last night! Whew! Property taxes were due yesterday so am thankful for the ability to pay online! Now to get stuffs in the file cabinet-yuck. Feels good to know things are caught up in that department for the moment. Work stuffs to do this weekend, but not at shop. I am taking my cross stitch with me to car show. Something a little more relaxing.

Machka- Love the flowers! The squirrels and chipmunks eat bulbs when I plant them. Hostas grow like crazy though. Then I just add some flowers for color.

Ladies, Have a wonderful day! Enjoy your time with family, friends, and even yourself!
You are WORTH it!


Kylia in Ohio dodging rain

Something digs up some of my bulbs too ... it's either possums or birds. That's partly why I wanted to plant a lot ... I'm not expecting all of them to come up.

I am in so much trouble with my doctor next week.....
Blood work not good cholesterol wise......ldl went up 30 points and triglycerides up 40 points!! I guess I really need to focus on me! I don't eat that badly I didn't think but eating hasn't been a focus, so I guess I shouldn't be surprised. I need to get a handle on this. I suck at taking medicine! I don't like taking it as I feel one thing leads to another....270 is a little high though. My HDL is still at 90 so that is a plus. I will see what doctor says, but hopefully we can figure this out without statins or other meds. So I know junk food and STRESS don't help....Reckon I need to figure this out......

Thanks for listening. Tips or suggestions welcome. Reading to be done.

This too will be taken care of one way or another. I am important to many people, so really need to figure this out for my health.

(((Rebecca))) — Sorry about your tweaked knee and your fall. I hope things heal quickly. :flowerforyou:

(((Pip))) -– Good wishes for Yogi. I hope he is doing better.

Kylia -– I hope the doctor gives you good guidance so that you will be able to get your health in top form.


We have a plague of houseflies. We are not leaving doors open. The windows that were expensive as the dickens have a way through a tiny space that has allowed them to crawl through and into the house. We’re planning on stuffing the space with brass wool. Theoretically, the brass wool will not allow the flies in, but will allow the air to vent. Wish us luck and success.

Katla- same thing happened here.. got a raid fly stick and hung it near patio door the flies stick to it and then you can chuck it..
Most of you know how 13 yr olds are so with taking Taliah up to the cottage i dont want hee sitting around like a lump on a log,I cant really do long distances but will get her out to do a few things while there,1 is taking her on a Whale watch,my mom and I took both the kids on a couple of them and they had a great time.. also going to look for a skateboard park and other things to do with teens.. I so remember being up there at that age and didnt want to do anything except hang out and listen to the radio..
Will do some grocery shopping before we get there and as my mom used to say make some memories
Looking at the long range forcast the weather isnt looking great.. but we will make the best of it..

Karen - What a beauty your granddaughter is.

Heather - I love reading how much you love your home.

Michele- I was taking about Mahjong, but the same applies to Food Lion.
I leave my Off Lanterns outside all year round. They have a candle in the bottom that is a bit bigger than a tea light but not as big as a votive. They are plastic but pretty looking. You could put a lid over the candle.

Lisa - Beautiful quilt. Kim’s suggestion about Lyme disease may be worth a look. Weren’t you doing a lot of brush clearing and outside work when this al started. I had a friend that had This and it was a terrible go for a long time with many different ailments. Once she was properly diagnosed it all resolved quite quickly.

Julie - Like Machka I had one of those pre cancerous surgeries, no matter how minor it is an emotional ordeal.

Rita - I’m glad your husband is making some changes.

Rebecca - I’m so happy you are able to visit Athena and your son. You must be so happy!
We have those magnet locks at work to keep residents out of cupboards in the Rec area that houses way too many candies and treats that affects the diabetics.
I was like you when my girls were young, I kept the toys hid. Truthfully, I do it now with the toys for the Grands too.

Barbara- is Consumer Reports the group that tests products?

Machka - I feel we’ll be in lockdown again by September or so. We were hoping my MIL would be able to come out at that time.

Viv - I waitressed a lot when I was younger and the restaurant’s I worked in had a “seniors” menu. It was just smaller portions of the main meals for a bit less money.

Allie - I hope you have a great time with Taliah.

I was behind reading for a couple of days. Rodger is home Thursday and Friday evenings so I spent time with him instead of my phone. It was worth it.

I thought it was this weekend my youngest daughter was coming to help organize the craft room, she thought it was next so I was left with no plans for this weekend.
I texted my eldest to see if Michaela (5) wanted to come spend the day with me. She is going to dust the lower things I’m not able to bend to do, then we are going to do some shopping. I invited her brother too, but he is not interested in our plan.

Our temperature has dropped 18 degrees since yesterday and it feels very cool in here. It is currently 15, cloudy and smoky from wildfires in BC and parts of AB.
