    There is a current BLC here, started to replace Spark’s others BLC team. One really good thing about it is that there is a team (White Rabbits) for people who sign up after the Challenge begins - like now. Search for The BLC Registration Team. After joining that you can join White Rabbits.

    My granddaughter was on her school's homecoming court. She didn't pick the odd colored rose, but I was still so proud of her! First pic is my son and his fiancee and the second pic is Riley (my granddaughter) and her best friend, who was also on the court. It's been a nice weekend and tonight is the dance, so I have to go take more pics!k9jscstt5p87.jpg

    @macrat12 I'm still here, although I don't have a lot to post when there's no replies. I feel like I'm talking to myself :/
    I wouldn't keep posting everyday if it's only me and you that see it.

    I’ve been busy with only BLC group here on MFP. (It was the other BLC on Spark). I’m happy with my progress on the Resolute Renegades team. I’m now 9 pounds from my initial goal, 19 from a tentative final goal.

    BLC Registration Team currently accepting registration for their BLC 48. (To start in January). A couple of teams require successful completion of a BLC in the past (not finishing as a floater).

    There are 2 Interim Challenges that will start tomorrow; pretty sure you can join them midstream if you’re reading this post later. One is similar to the standard BLC style; Renegades team quite different. So pick whatever is best!

    I’ve also been very involved in grandson Sean’s life of late. He’s 11, and he is still doing online school. We’ve had him Tuesday-Thursday almost every week. For his PE class, the school issued a Garmin to keep track of fitness minutes. We’ve done lots and lots of walking together! He has received his first COVID shot; the 2nd (per MD) will be delayed just a bit until he turns 12 on December 18 and can have a full dose. The plan is to have him back in school for second semester. AFAIK, we’ll pick him up Tuesday afternoon, take and pick up Wednesday, then drop him off Thursday. So keep the same pattern, but have school hours to ourselves.

    I’ve been happy to see a few posts from the Invincible Indigos.

    I keep seeing some of you in my feed, just wondering which groups you've joined here. Has anyone seen Fran (and Racey) around anywhere? I wish MFP had a list of groups under our profiles so I could find my old friends easier.
