WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR MARCH 2022

Machka - I don’t believe I’ve ever seen a spiders nest. Hope I never do. They don’t really bother me as long as they stay in their space and leave mine alone.

Barbara - if I could send snow to you I surely would.

Ginny - you amaze me with all of your reno projects you take on alone. I can do it, but have no interest in doing so. I’ve helped cut those big sheets, I’m glad you have help.

Lisa - your sewing is my math. I enjoyed basic math, but when it got to be algebra and formulas I really lost interest. Now that’s all I do. As for crafting, sewing and such. My paternal Grandmother continuously compared me to another granddaughter because I didn’t sew, crochet or knit. It seems in her mind those were the only skills a woman needed besides cooking. I don’t enjoy any of those but love creating other things. I think she would be proud now, but she never seemed to be when I was young.

Kylia - that sounds like so much fun, I hope you get on the drag strip. I have a lead foot and would love to do that.
My granddaughter, 6, was on a twisty road in Edmonton with her Dad. Apparently from the back she was yelling “go faster, go faster”. The speed limit is about 32 mph.

Kelly - such great advice for Allie. Carmine is surely going through a lot probably some bullying happening too. Maybe there is a peer group meeting they could attend.

Machka - beautiful patio. Does your landlord compensate for any of the work you have put in?

Betsy - I’m sorry your Dad didn’t listen to you. Hugs

Well I should get on with my day, I need to figure out what to wear, straighten my hair and gather things together for the shower.

BARBARA I love the crocuses !

Holy crap on a cracker is my line too! PIP, WTHeck? And they took pix? Did you ask them to do that? WOAH. Prayers that it was benign and just happened to be HUGE.

Sending love and thoughts to everyone needing them today. I've tried to read through everything, but my brain is quite tired today from just a lot of things and too much to go into. Nothing as extraordinary as what some of you are going through. Just normal "stuff".

Carla, in MN

We have a bright, bright sunshiny day. The river level is up a bit. This part of the Columbia River is affected by tides.

DH had an unpleasant night and will undoubtedly need some extra rest today.

Katla in NW Oregon

Well i finished the laundry and got the garbage out.. cleaned out my car and stored the bigger carseat for Miles..going up to Susans tonight for dinner

Did Leslie Sansone Walk to the Hits DVD. The plan for tomorrow is to do Jeanette Jenkins Core Stretch DVD

After exercise stopped at WalMart. The price of gas!!! I got a bargain at $3.78 (you people in CA can stop laughing now). Then went to Aldi since Vince needed cereal (which they didn’t have). It’s at the point when I leave to go to exercise, I just say “gee, what’s the price of gas today”

Today when I went to exercise, I killed a roach. I believe this one lady is a personal trainer there so she’s probably in touch with the owner. I’m going to mention it to her. I believe “where there’s one, there’s more”

Barbara – Vince said that he’s used Tylenol and it doesn’t help the first or second day, but by the third it’s kicked in. So I’ll try it again. Exercise really does seem to help. Only I can’t be exercising 24/7.

kylia – you’re going to drive the track at Charlotte? I thought that only happened the day after Thanksgiving. You buy a certain amount of souvenirs and that entitles you to so many laps around the track. Have you ever done this before? If they use a pace car, what we found was that you hang back, then you can really give it the gas to get up to the pace car. Drive safely because if you have an accident and insurance asks you where it happened, I don’t think “on turn 4 of Charlotte speedway” would sit well with them...lol

Betsy – so sorry about your dad.

M – beautiful garden

Tracey – my grandmother was a fantastic crocheter. She wanted to teach me. But I was a “know it all teenager” who didn’t want anything to do with that “old lady stuff”. To this day I regret my decision. I’ve had to learn myself.

Rebecca – soup for breakfast isn’t strange at all. If I need to use some up, that’s what I have

Michele
who went to the pool but it’s too windy to go in even tho the pool is heated

I believe it was Barbara who asked if my giving notice meant I was retiring and yes, that's exactly what I am doing. So looking forward to it!
Tracey, the mugs are really cute! Will you be doing some for craft fairs like you did with the wood burning stuff? I would think those would go over really well.
Katla, I would love to see your end of the "Mighty Columbia"! I have been to the beginning, lived along some of it, and have seen photos and videos of the mouth, hopefully one day I will get there in person.
Machka, the property is looking very nice! I am in awe of the amount of gravel that you have moved!
Kylia, driving the track sounds like so much fun! Hope it lives up to your expectations!
I think I remember Joyce, but I think she stopped posting shortly after I started on here. I remember Lenore, Amber and Faye quite well. I also miss Trucker Sharon. There was another Sharon (I think) who was from Lethbridge AB and having issues with her partner, he just wasn't treating her very nicely. I do hope they are all doing well.
Well, I'm at work today, so really should get off the computer and go do something productive.
Hugs for those needing them, sending out some healing vibes to those who are having health issues, congrats to those celebrating and welcome to the newbies.
Evelyn, on beautiful, sunny Vancouver Island (where it is still a bit chilly, the sun is most deceptive but so lovely to see!)
