Its a bright sunny day, but very cold and windy. I will write two letters I have gotten this weekend, and maybe organize my recipe file. Lee made beer bread yesterday, and I warmed up bean soup for them. I had a diced chicken and tomato sandwich at 2 pm, my molasses cookies with a marshmallow warmed in the center with coffee after. Recd a call from my BFF that lives in Connecticut. We talked for 2 hours. I met her when we lived in Japan, her husband was on the Midway and were fast friends. Over the years we have gone thru all the hardships, bouncing stress off each other. We have only lived close together during those three years in Japan, but our friendship has lasted 32 years. Lee commented after I came downstairs, "I am so glad I don't have a friend where I have to yack on the phone for 2 hours"! Guys just don't get it... I think because we don't live close together, is why our friendship has lasted honestly. She is kind of a hoarder, a very outspoken personality. When we would go out dancing in Japan, (both of our husband's out to sea), her wildness rubbed off on me, and my quietness rubbed off on her. So between the two of us, we didn't get in too much trouble.🙃😂 I was hoarse a bit after chatting for so long though! Having bean soup helped, and I sipped the last 1/3 of the Brown nut ale, husband had used for the beer bread. Dipping hearty crusty bread into rich broth. Well that's heaven right there. I might make chicken soup with some light flaky biscuit dumplings in the broth. Oh I love fall, when its soup weather!

I am glad you checked with Delta- That is what I thought they would say. Dh can take his CPAP and it doesn't count as a carry on.

Rebecca- what part of Connecticut does your friend live in? Is her husband still in the military, if so she is probably down near the Groton sub base..
I just had an apple it was quite refreshing...
Usually when we get together for these big family things we chip in and go to the store and either grill or cook together.. i mean its a zoo trying to feed a ton of people and the last time i know they kept bi honkin coolers full of water,juice and soda down in the garage.. Im packing my Yeti cup so that i can have either a hot or cold drink and ill know which one is mine...
I dont mind flying so much its the take of and landings that freak me out ,I take a 1/2 an adivan 20 minutes before we take off and im ok..

Believe me I dont travel much..
Alfie is going to have a blast with my friend Leah and her 3 dogs ..he will sleep for a week when he gets home2 -
Machka: <> That's why I like drinking from bone China. There is just a whole different flavour with it. Art is just sooooo relaxing. I like doodling. This is my Habit Tracker from July and one of my mandalas.
Thankful for:
Family, and our get togethers
Comfortable home in a quiet area with good neighbours, and excellent transport links. Five minute walk to the bus stop and the world is my oyster. Well, it was before Covid 😂
Time to indulge my passions and pastimes
Lisa AR: I had melamine when the children were small. And it's still in the cupboard somewhere. Is Corelli a little bit like Pyrex because I have some lovely Pyrex plates that I use for lunches. I bought those in the charity shop. This is one of the melamie cups, and one of the Pyrex plates.
😍 Ahhhh!!! Athena fix 😂
Allie: <> Safe travels, and soft landings 😂
Gotta switch of in 6 mins lol.
Enjoy the rest of your Sunday

She divorced not long after leaving Japan moving to Hawaii. Husband was in a motorcycle accident, and under morphine he told her about the Thailand girlfriend he's had for years! It was crazy. He has passed away now, got cancer. I helped deliver her baby, kyle, and I'm his Godmother💖, when she was in Japan. She lives in Norwich, CN.

Did Jillian Michaels Killer Cardio DVD then went for a walk. I just can’t seem to get motivated to do a DVD on the days when I work. So then I’m thinking that I’ll go for a walk. What I’m going to do in winter I have no idea. Anyway, Mondays are work, senior bowling, then ceramics. Tuesdays are work, Vince’s allergy shot, ceramics. Wednesday is work and Newcomer bowling. I do want to get some strength training in and I have to get to the gym for that. Maybe Wednesday or Thursday. I can seem to get motivated to do a DVD on the weekend, tho.
Vince went for his booster yesterday. I went Friday. His arm is sore as is mine, but that’s all.
Heather – I like Barbara’s suggestion about asking dh in advance next year what he wants to do for the birthday. Yes, as Julie suggested, maybe invite them there
Barbara – you’re right, it was a girdle with hooks to hook your stockings to. How I hated them! But the girdle probably did keep the tummy in and may have helped some people’s back
Here’s another one: who remembers those tight pants with the things on the bottom that you put your foot into?
Woo hoo! I now have a whopping 6 day streak!!!!!
pip – (((HUG)))
Rebecca – I want to squeeze Athena!
Sad day – we took all the ceramics in from the pool area. Believe it or not, it was me who suggested it since today is such a beautiful day. The weather has been in the 60’s and 70’s. I honestly don’t think the water will get warm enough to go in.
Went for my evening walk. Got in over 14,000 steps today.
Nite everyone.

Hello Friends.
Lisa: Continuing to send you waves of healing energy. Hope you and your new MD enjoy a long, respectful and beneficial partnership as you restore yourself to radiant good health.
Heather: Belated, heartfelt best wishes for your birthday and the whole wonderful year. My goal is to book a NYC+London holiday for late spring of 2022. 🤞🏽🤞🏽🤞🏽
Katla and Allie: Safe travels. I recommend taking your most comfy, breathable mask as you will have to wear it every minute in the airport and on the plane.
I'm just back from a short holiday in the Pocono mountains of Pennsylvania. A very good friend and her husband have recently built their dream home on a lake in a community they have visited for decades. I booked this before my brother passed away; and since his passing my friend had a terrible fall where she tore her shin to the bone and broke her shoulder. She is in a wheelchair, barely moving her arm and in lots of pain. She felt that it would be boring for me to visit. However, I assured her since I was still in mourning all I really wanted was a change of scenery, some good belly laughs like we usually have, home cooking and to hang out with her two standard poodles. Had a wonderful time. Her husband did the cooking and clean up. He is a phenomenal caregiver to her. I drove us to Mt. Airy for a spa day and a quick stop to a slot machine that paid us $80 in 5 mins. The drive was beautiful as we hit the peak of fall colors there. The weather was bleak and humid, but we got into the Netflix series "Last Tango in Halifax" and barely noticed the conditions outside. I can say that by the time they took me to the airport to come home, we were both in better spirits than when we met up.
Rebecca: Yes! Totally can relate to long calls with out of state friends.
I have three more short trips booked. If you are near any of these places and want to meet for coffee or a walk, please message me:
▶ November 12-14 Oakland, CA (scattering brother's cremains)
▶ January 13-17 San Diego, CA (sister and family celebrating multiple bdays, including mine)
▶ February 23 - March 6 Island of Maui, Hawaii (meet up with friends coming from Oregon)
Meanwhile, I’ve attached a couple pix of my friends poodles: Ricky is the white one and Lucy is the redhead camouflaged in her fluffy blanket.
Stay well. We can do this.

Cheri – I am a fan of your knitting and enjoy your comments.
Rebeccca – Happy you heard from a dear friend. Athena is lovely!
DH & I are getting along okay after our third CoVid vaccinations yesterday. I’ve had an easy day today, but DH has not been as lucky. I hope things will improve as time goes by.
Regarding Halloween Town—we have stayed home so far due to vaccinations. I hope we get some energy back and are able to enjoy the festivities.

Today is Jake's birthday. He doesn't make much of the day but I bought him a card and he got long phone calls from his brother and two good friends as well as texts from other friends and family and a Zoom call with his oldest granddaughter and her three children in Ohio. I sat quietly and didn't say much but my knitting caught the attention of the older great granddaughter and she told her mother that she wants yarn for her birthday and wants to learn how to knit.
I had my usual walk with my Sunday friend and my usual Sunday phone call with my friend in California (I walk while we talk).

Definitely remember the awful belt to hold the pads in place as well as the garter belt to hold up the stockings. Pantyhose was a great invention as were the peel and stick pads. I was not allowed tampons until I was old enough to buy them myself. We got a lesson in 6th grade about our periods while the boys went out to another room to learn who knows what? I spent every day from then until my period actually started in 8th grade worrying that I was going to bleed all over my desk and embarrass myself. I couldn’t bring myself to give my kids the sex talk so I bought them a book. I researched before getting the one that explained it like I wanted it explained. A few years ago they brought up the book in casual conversation. They said it made the rounds of all their friends and that they loved it because it answered their questions without them having to ask.
The lesson this week in my metabolic reboot class was on counting calories, who needs to, who doesn’t, etc. Guess what app they suggested we use! Our coach will friend us and view our food diary if we request it. I’ve requested a hot seat for Tuesday night to discuss my calorie needs. Your total calories determines what percentage should be protein, fat and carbs. The fewer calories needed, the bigger percentage that needs to be protein. I’ve lost 5 1/2 lbs in 4 weeks. Tomorrow I take my measurements. I can tell a difference in my bra and maybe my jeans. Tiny difference, but a difference.5 -
Rori, those dogs are so cute! Your trips sound so much fun, enjoy!💖👍
