Diane: Thank you. I will probably go for my walk a little later this morning. Will wait to see if it warms up a little bit.
Our air condition broke and we will be getting a new one on Monday. The compresser is the part that broke. Luckily it has not been too hot.2 -
@NovemberGail ,, Pretty flowers. My Mom loved yellow roses. We were so fortunate to have Moms who were very good to us. Sadly not all do. Hope you were able to be outside today for a walk etc. and also able to relax some too.
@Macrat12,,,, hey the furry ones do not cost a college education!! Though hmmm vet bills. LOL But they are so sweet! yup our furbabies are GREAT!
@Lessennan ,,, You live in such a GORGEOUS AREA!! Awwww look at the sheep!! They are such sweet animals. That'd be so much fun. Is afternoon tea a daily thing there?
@Patti241,, it's so NICE TODAY!! OH MAN it's so hard, I so BADLY want to go outside for a walk!! BUT NOT QUITE YET!! I do have a knee scooter, to go someplace outside for long is to much on my knee. Oh it's going to WARM on Weds/Thurs, I KNOW I'll go out somehow!! There's NO WAY I letting the high 60s go by without my enjoying it!! Inland may get near 80. SO SORRY about the AC, but PHEW it didn't wait until summer. It's about impossible to find an AC repair man in the summer. I did buy a new AC for this year, but did so in Jan, saving $100 on it. WOOHOO!!!3 -
@Dianedoessmiles1 afternoon tea can be had in hotel restaurants any day, but the cost in pounds weight and pounds sterling is prohibitive.3

Good Evening Everyone!
Happy Mother's Day!
Today was a busy but gorgeous day! Studied for my food handlers course, walked to and from the grocery store and did a little exercise. Also made angel food cake. Then got ready to visit with my Son, Sister and her Husband. We took a trip out to the cemetery to see Mom. Can't wait till there's grass. It's such a reminder of it's only been since January. We also walked a lot of the cemetery looking for other family. Found some and not others. My son got me a new mug with a dolphin on it. Will take a picture of it tomorrow to share. Tomorrow my plan is to study for my food handlers course, workout and work with my vegetable plants, and a few house chores.3 -
@Lessennan,, Okay I am quite curious,,, why is it prohibitive? Is it literally not allowed, or is to costly? Funny how in one country a word can have different meanings, so I thought I'd ask. I have a friend from Wales, at first we had a ton of giggles over this.
@Cseguin2 ,,, Glad it was good day!! AND that you got so much done. I can't get myself to go to my Moms grave, it's just to much though it's been 30 years. Though when my Nana died (she was 96 so it didn't hurt as much) it was so cool to be looking around the cemetery. Our family has been here since the 1880's. ENJOY Monday!3 -
@Dianedoessmiles1 words are fun.
Afternoon teas are a bit costly price wise when we could have a proper meal so they’re a treat.
It’s not just by country that words are used differently. By COUNTY in Scotland3 -

Good morning everyone
Diane: It is a bit chilly out right now so I will wait a little bit before I walk3 -
@Dianedoessmiles1 -yup she does play strict attention to details for it. It’s her last year of it (ends in 8th) but she loved doing it. We were so sad they missed it for 2 years due to covid. Thx feet are getting better. She can’t be barefoot yet at dance but hopefully that is coming. And yeah pool weather would be nice too. Hope your foot is 100 percent soon!2
-
@Lessennan ,,,, That makes sense. Those sandwiches looked so GOOD!! Hope you both enjoyed them. Oh I am sure all countries , within their borders have various different uses for words and accents. Mine is quite heavy it's easy to say where I am from though most say "Boston" which is 2 hours south of here. It's fun though!! Your area is TOTALLY GORGEOUS though!! THOSE beautiful hills!! The green,,,
@Patti241,,, Same here ,,, even at almost 5 PM it's 52 ,, feels like 48. Ohhhh but, wait til later this week!! THurs here on the coast they are saying 66 Fri also 66, Sat 72 I do not believe them. LOL Hope you got out outside today. I do not think I am again today,,, the foot thing. It's healing, but it's not been a week, only 5 days.
@Bookienj,,,, Oh those 2 years have been so very very hard on all the kids!! The younger ones we worked with,,, it saddens me so greatly!! Out of the 19 kids we were working so hard, many hours of one on one with 4 of them, 3 of them we felt with this support would go onto the 3rd grade, one no matter what would not. But with Covid ,,, oh sure,,, they passed a NO FAIL thing!! SO ALL 4 went onto the 3rd grade,,, again last year it was a NO FAIL thing so those 4 kids are now in the 4th grade, but zero doubt they can't do the work. Its hard to see a 4th grader struggling and wanting to not go to school. For the Middle and HS kids, all of the social AND ALSO schoolwork. Though a few did better during this time, many certainly did not. SO GLAD her feet are getting better!! That's a plus!! THANKS on the well wishes,,,, I go on Weds. I am trying to get an ear, nose and throat Dr, but OH MY NOT TIL NOVEMBER!! I am having a hard time breathing, but NOT TIL NOVEMBER??? HUH???? SIGH!! I HATE MAINE.2 -
Good Evening Everyone!
I don't care for going to the cemetery. It's more about supporting my sister and doing what is expected of me.
Today was a beautiful day with lots of sun. Got quite a bit done today. Studied for my food handlers course, worked out, walked to and from the bank, cleaned my backyard of all the garbage that collected over the winter, worked on turning over the soil for my front flower bed. So much left to do with that. I still need to get my vegetable plants planted. Also spent some time at my friend's with out Hubby. It was so nice. The bonus was I got to pay her for his birthday present without being sneaky. Tomorrow is Tops, rest and weigh day. It will be interesting to see what happens.2 -
Tomorrow I will follow up with the lilacs, deadheading all the spent blossoms. What a beautiful day today--lots of wind and warm temperatures. The pollen is so thick you can see the haze in the distance and the vacuum cleaner's filter is full of fine yellow-green dust. No wonder people are sneezing around me--including my poor little beagle.
Blessings on your day tomorrow!

Diane: Yeah the weekend it is supposed to rain1
-
@Dianedoessmiles1 -aw man that’s tough. I hope the kids were able to get good support in 4th. At least in our city, there was testing beginning of the year to see what supports/catch up was needed. It was district wide for every child. November? That is a super long time to wait.2

Good Evening Everyone!
Today as been sunny and warm. Early summer. Today was rest, weigh and TOPS day. Gained 0.25 lbs. Not to big of a deal. I am starting to get frustrated with myself and the gaining. Maybe if I get frustrated enough I will get everything under control. Worked at making the flower bed. Hoping to get the plants in this week that I already have. Tomorrow I am mowing my neighbors lawn and possibly ours. It needs to get done. Such a busy week but at least it's beautiful weather. Just need to remember the sun screen. Got burnt yesterday and didn't even notice until this morning.2 -

@Patti241, may be a good time to go on a vacation to where there's no rain? If it's not possible, it can still be very fun,,, I think bowling would be fun, or a number of other inside things.
Today (Well LOL It's barely Weds as I type this) I go in for the first bandage change, it'll be so nice to have it all healed, it shouldn't be long though. Tonight was my first test of how it is, I felt it, but I am not sick to my stomach from the pain so it's a ALL IS GOOD thing!! WOOHOO!!

Good Evening Everyone!
Yes I am very busy this time of year. But more this year. I feel like I just have to keep moving and then the food won't go in my mouth. We will see how that turns out.
Today started out cloudy and cool but quickly warmed up then the sun came out. I got a sun burn over the last couple of days. Today I remembered the sun screen. It was another busy but productive day. Skipped studying so I could get a great walk in or it wouldn't happen. Also did a few of my quick workouts so I could start on the neighbors lawn sooner. Took me just over 2 hours to weed wack, now, and a little taking. Also did some laundry. My kitchen looks horrendous. But I keep ignoring it as I need to get the lawns done and all the plants planted before the weekend rain. My calories are not good today at all. We decided to support McHappy Day for breakfast and lunch. Let's just say the blinders were on for both meals. Good thing I enjoyed it. Tomorrow is another busy day. I am determined to get the yard work and gardening done as soon as possible.2 -
Patti241 ,, I used to bowl also, I was the WORSE EVER bowler, but I had everyone laughing and laughing because of it. Glad you were able to get out for a walk. YEAH YEAH NO RAIN!!
@Bookienj,, TY TY TY TY!! First person I played is also a former champion. LOL she groaned RIGHT OFF when they said our numbers "Oh, I've already lost, I had won all of my games up to this point." I did giggle, we are friends, she DOES most certainly beat me!! But, yeah not today did she. GRIN. The other 2 Played, at the last championship he and I were up against each other for the WIN!! He'd of WON this too if I hadn't gotten a 16 hand and than a 21 hand. Even with those, he's such a GREAT PLAYER it came down to both of our very last hands. I knew when I saw I had a 5 , 2 queens and a Jack, I had it, when he flipped over a King, yup it would depend on his points since he had counted first, he only needed 8 to win, he got 6. The other game, he's also very very very good, same as the above, it came down to our very last hands, Dan only needed 9 points, he got 6, I went out for the win. Since I missed last week I wasn't that great in the standings, but with today, I am now in 2nd place since the others didn't have their normal staller days, but I HOPE THEY DO!!! I can't just throw a game, but I love to cheer others on!
@Cormierannie ,,, WOOHOO on the laundry!! Nice job!!!
@Cseguin2 ,,, UGH I do not like sunburns, glad you are using sunscreen. On Friday I see the skin cancer Dr. I am so dreading it, thinking he'll have me use the chemo cream again. I HATE how much it burns, and hurts, but it does what is needed. Nice job on the exercise and YO DID YOU EVER burn off a LOT of calories today with the weed wacking!! A McHappy day huh? LOL the days and things they come up with. I got food poising from our local McD's so I am never anxious to go there. But, if I am Portland there are 2 of them there I'll happy visit.
Today saw foot Dr. The bandage is thankfully much smaller as he was getting up, ,, he looked at me and said "Stay off that as much as you can. I know you can't be totally off it, but try to be as much as possible." so of course, I will do that. I'm so super tired, hopefully I'll sleep well tonight. My friend who's helping with cleaning (paid of course) came over. As she left she said "I don't feel I did anything." BUT SHE DID!!! She did my laundry, vacuumed the whole place, dusted the walls and everything, cleaned the bathroom and kitchen floor. I USED to be able to do that easily, but not any more. I assured her all of that would of taken me 4 days, and I'd of been so exhausted I'd be sleeping most of those days and not bouncing back. I am so grateful!!4 -
This peony was planted two years ago and is the first of the three planted to bloom. Early this morning the bud was still pretty tight. With the temps in the 90's, the flower opened quite quickly. Last week the temps were still in the 50's and so this body is not ready for the hot summer temps. At least it cooled down last night with the electricity out to enjoy the windows open.
Have a wonderful Friday!

@novembergail,,, It's so pretty!!! COOL!!! WOW the 90s!! That's just WAY TO MUCH TO FAST!!! We've been in the 50's most of the time. Over the weekend Gail it'll get warmer, but NOT LIKE THAT!! PHEW!! Inland ,, it'll be in the 80's though, here on the coast Sat maybe 71. That's MORE THAN ENOUGH!!3
