WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR OCTOBER 2022

Afternoon ladies
Well i lollygagged this morning and Tracy was bored her husband helping his brother at his new apartment.
So we took Miles to our local pumpkin place and it was very cold but we had fun..

Found some darker brown for the eyes and got some red for his collar, looks good.
Also found this at the estate sale. I painted the word welcome and the heart. Hard to see the word without some kind of coloring.

Allie - so glad you've sorted out the picture thing. Your daughter looks so relaxed and lovely, and Mr. Miles is a charmer! So love to see your smiling face, my friend...

Heather - So pleased it was the wonderful weekend you planned...

Pip - Loving the Yogi figure, and the changes were absolutely right.

Strange weekend drawing to a close... our daughter's wedding that we couldn't attend, but have hundreds of pictures from. While she was busy getting married, we found and bought the old truck we need to haul stuff around the property. That ends a three-year search, which is great. This morning was two hours of trying to find an electrical fault... which took out the office, living room and part of the kitchen. It was one tiny plastic electrical lock joining two wires in the attic that had loosened - probably when the air conditioner guy was up in the attic a few weeks ago.

Got all the laundry done, including the bedclothes, which got hung out on the line, so our bedroom smells like sunshine now... Hope for a lovely week for everyone.

Love to all,
Lisa in AR

Belated welcome @nanerkay Sandy from KY to a very supportive group.
Barbie are your sunflowers by any chance the ones whose tubers are Jerusalem artichokes? Love how you can find something to be grateful for after that “yes but…” conversation .

Heather, your son’s smile hasn’t changed!
Lanette “… it’s medicine.” :laughing: Thank you for this!
Rita interesting news about MFP.
Allie the pic of Miles and his buddy Ginger.
Machka Skin cancer sucks. Surprised you have to wait til November for the biopsies, that your dermatologist didn’t take samples right then. Hope you have the option of Mohs surgery.
KJ for your cousin’s home, grateful he and his wife are safe.
Pip great shower!
Tina so glad your knee didn’t swell. Good sign.
Katla delighted to hear DH will soon be joining you in your apartment. ((hugs))
Debbie so glad your Mom has finally seen the light about that roommate. Hope her surgery recovery is swift and sure.

Mice: We’ve had a few. Blocking entry holes, storing dry goods in jars or sealable plastic totes, deep cleaning pantry, and setting out humane traps baited (yes Margaret) with peanut butter for the few who get in has worked for us. We release the trapped mice into the forest and so far they haven’t found their way back into the house. I am so lucky that Joe is tolerant of my insistence on humane trapping.

Finally through September. Hope that when I read October, I’ll learn that Rebecca and Lisa have gotten some relief.

Tomorrow (actually today as it’s after midnight) is our 35th wedding anniversary. We don’t go out to dinner to celebrate any more as we eat on such wildly different schedules (and don’t leave the dogs at home alone). Joe surprised me this morning by asking if I’d prefer flowers or $100. I said I’d like the $$ as I could spend part on some flowers and use the rest for a few bills. Then I asked what he’d like for his anniversary meal and he said Chinese. The restaurant is closed Mondays so we’ll have Chinese take out Tuesday mid-day. Like Heather‘s Johnny its often hard to get Joe to say what he wants. This has been a win-win-win and I feel most fortunate.

Done:
Lighter, lovelies!

2022: Be still and listen.
October: Move more (make that 7400 step goal), fuel better (more protein + veggies, less sugar), live NOW (continue mindful time with Joe, pay more attention to Shadow and Tumble).
