WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR SEPTEMBER 2024

walked twice- one with MIL's dog then the wetlands- ending the day at 14,500 steps again today.
Tomorrow will be two times walking plus swimming and aqua zumba. I have decided to head up to mom's very early Saturday morning instead of driving up after class and getting to her house at about 10PM(then having to be up at 4am)- I will leave my house at 6 and meet her in at the church to help with the food program by about 7:30. Even with that much driving, I will still get more sleep beings I won't be up so early like I usually am at her house.
Looking forward to spending time with her but this is also a work weekend. Cleaning the carpet in the roommate's room(she had a large choc. lab and a cat in that room so need to get the pee spots out of the carpet), need to put the diatamatious (sp?) earth around the house to hopefully get rid of the fleas plus help in the garden. Cooking all the meals for the weekend is a given- I don't count that as work- I enjoy it and she really appreciates it. She says I spoil her. I will come home Monday morning.

Got a text last night, just after midnight, to say that the family had all arrived home, safely and well, with the tow. Phew! Could sleep after that.
It's something the kids will remember for ever, I bet!
My son is coming over in 15 minutes to get the uniform.
I did the right thing.

Easing in to my groups. Monday was full on. Both Creative Writing and Monday Painters were pleased to be back. it makes all the prep and admin worthwhile when members are so enthusiastic.
On Thursday we finished The Taming of the Shrew at Shakespeare. It’s such a complex play. We are starting to study Henry VIII next month.
Today I will go to Parchment Craft after lunch. It’s a small group and the leader is very knowledgeable.
I will also do prep for my next Monday Painters sessions, and next weeks Flower arranging and Latin groups. Also, will attend Craft and Card-making.
My wedding outfit. It was the late 60s, and it was fashionable to non traditional colour 😂 I still have the hat and one glove as wel as the outfit.
The other photo was taken on our 50th wedding anniversary cruise to Norway in July 2016. We splashed out in a suite, and had lots of added perks like the photo and a frame because it was our anniversary. The bottom pic is at our wee boat a couple of summers ago.
The weather is settled at the minute, so will germs som gardening done today.
Virtual (((hugs))) and 🙏🏻🙏🏻🙏🏻 for those who need them.

Fitters are here!
As I predicted, they did have a little bit of difficulty manoeuvring the vinyl up the second set of tight stairs, but managed it. Lots of hoovering and scraping going on.
Obviously one charming boss man, and one dim one, doing the heavy lifting.
I offered them a cup of tea, but they didn't want one.
Just done a big Waitrose order for tomorrow.

I love it! It looks just like the real thing. But it is cushioned vinyl.
They only took an hour.

Good early morning, ladies. This time, I was off; I was exhausted. I didn't sleep well on the couch. Thursday, when I got my car back, I picked up Rose. On Wednesday, I was late for my doctor's appointment. I guess the Lyft person got lost. So the office lady would send me away since I was 20 minutes late. I explained to the lady that I needed to see her that day. I also explained that I paid for a Lyft. She said she would message the doctor and see if she would see me. I texted her as well. She agreed to see me, and she said they were behind anyway. So, I found out that I had a sinus infection, and that is why I had more headaches. So, I am on antibiotics. While waiting to get labs, I contacted the car place and noticed they had coupons online. So I put it in my Apple wallet. My A1C went from 7.4 to 5.3, so we were pleased. My cholesterol is down as well. I need it to go down to 70, but it was 200, plus now
it is 101.
My car was not ready, and I also discovered that the warrantee people said it wasn't covered because they do not cover regular maintenance. My husband called while he was in Wisconsin. So, I ended up paying $700 instead of 837. I could not pick up Rose from day camp, so I had to pay 90.00 for her.
September 2 was my youngest birthday, so I texted him about the story of his birth and how he was in the NICU. (He loves those stories.) Wedding dressed, well tomorrow is our 28th wedding anniversary. My dress is in the garage, and my daughter Julia found it and played dress up. If I find it again, I will repurpose the material.
Lanette—My mom is happy where she is, and the cost of her private room is 4150; it is a lot higher in
Chicago. It is 8,000 plus for semi-private. She is happy and has friends, and I will be able to visit her and my friends.
Colt Gray was a troubled young man. He killed four people and injured many. Colt carried an AR-15 in a musical instrument case. He threatened to do this the year before. There were multiple guns in his house—no metal detectors in the school. Changes have to be made in the schools to protect the innocent all over the US. Prayers to all of those families as they grieve.
Allie - it looks like they will need to remove the polyps.
Michelle, I love your blue dress. Does Oz stand for the Ozarks?
Lisa, I love your pumpkin babies and your craft room. I almost had one, but the guys didn't finish it and left with my money.:( I will keep the dress I wore at my dad's funeral.
Heather- I am so glad you finally got some Dim Sum—great job on your strides in walking.
Barbara- Do you own a Bb and B? Line dancing sounds fun. My best friend does that. Yike on the oral surgery. Prayers and hugs are sent your way.
Pip- have a wonderful trip! Be careful out there.
I hope you all have a great weekend.
XO,
Mo

Thank Ladies for all the wedding photos! What memories they must bring back to all of us!
Barbie ~ You and Jake look so happy at your wedding that has lasted 35 yrs. You looked much prettier in your second wedding photo and so happy it has lasted. Also, hope Jake gets the help he needs.
Terri ~ You looked so young and pretty in your wedding photo. I like the short hairdo you wore in your 50th cruise. We went on a cruise for our 25th and vowed never to go again. My son at 18 went with us and we spent the whole time worrying about him because he was allowed to drink at sea. So afraid he would get thrown overboard.
Ginny ~ I am really hoping my hearing appt. goes well as it has been very hard having to constantly ask people to repeat themselves even though I was wearing my old Phonak aids at the time. I can hear the tv using the app but group or one-on-one conversation is almost impossible.
You were very smart to go to the courthouse and keep your wedding simple. And, you looked very happy in your red dress.
Heather ~ Your son was surely not thinking when he asked John to pick up his family after the car broke down. When my husband had to be hospitalized at 2 AM in the morning I remember how scared I was trying to drive his van home in the dark and in the rain. I got totally lost but finally made it home.
The new floor in your bathroom looks great! So much better than the old carpet. When we moved into our house the whole place was carpeted in dark brown and i hated it. Now we have hardwood in all the rooms except the bedrooms.
Coordination: I have none! In high school I was on a strange drill team where we marched with the band carrying wooden rifles. When I last looked at my high school report card I had been given a "C". That's because I have never been able to clap/march to music on time and dancing was out of the question.
As for the school shooting, we plan to buy a huge safe to store all of my son's and husband's gun collections in. Hearing that the father has been arrested for being negligent will be a spur for many people across the nation.

Monique ~ You have had a difficult week trying to get the car repaired, seeing the dr., and getting Rose home. Hope all that is over and your week will be happier. Happy Anniversary and Happy BD to your son!

Mo, you are doing great. The drop in numbers with your bloodwork is impressive.
I’ve been following my plan fairly well this week. My legs are feeling the extra steps I’ve been taking.

I finally unearthed a couple photos of my wedding. February 1977. We were married 45 years when he passed.
My sis, niece, and me (check out my Gloria Steinem glasses!) My sis was an excellent seamstress and made her dress and my niece's little outfit. I bought my outfit at a store in South Bend, IN. Can't recall which one.
Me and DH, who is looking mischievous.

Good morning beautiful ladies!
Heather yes you were right about not driving in the dark. It's one of those invisible limitations that are so hard to accept. But it's so real!
And I love the new floor! And Yay for writing!
Ginny glad your teeth are serving well.
Lisa hope your headache is gone by now.
Michele hope the new spin class works out for you.
Debbie have a great Mom visit!
Terri those classes sound wonderful!
Mo Yay for lower numbers at the doctor! And getting the car fixed.
Carol hope you can find hearing aids that work for you. It is isolating and feels unfriendly to be unable to participate in conversations.
I forgot my uncle's birthday yesterday. We were over there the day before, and I thought I heard something about it, but it took too long for me to remember. Oh well, we will buy him a present today. It's been a long time since I've been shopping in person.
Have a great day! May you all be happy, healthy, safe and free!

Morning, my dears, from the breaking dawn of the Arkansas River Valley,
Woke up with only vestiges of the headache (thank you, Annie) after a full night's sleep. Barometric again, I think. When did I become a human barometer? 🌡️🤣There's a front moving in today that will keep us at a high of 79F (26C) or even lower all the way through Tuesday. Love this weather...
Corey was snoozing in his chair already by 8pm - he's so tired by Thursday nights - so I was able to get an hour of ironing done in the craft room. That will shorten my project by, well, by an hour this morning. 🤔🤪😹
Want to get a number of things done today, so I'm going to get another mug of tea made and get moving on them...
Love y'all!
Lisa in AR
Edit to add:
Heather - Love, love, LOVE the bathroom floor. I'm not usually fond of chevrons, but that's quite spiffy.
Allie - Always love to see our smiling boy.5 -

Moment of Zen...
Good Morning Friends... This was my favorite work of art in Fine Arts Building. It is constructed out of tools.
What tools can you find? Reminds me of the monkey constructed out of old toys by Picasso at MIA. Good day to think outside the box🌹

Allie ~ I can see why Tracy and Kyle wanted another child. That SMiles looks so happy in every photo you have shown us.
