WOMEN AGES 50+ FOR SEPTEMBER 2024

Kim – thanks for all your hard work. Wonder why he gave me azaleas since he knew that it was in full sunlight

Did take my car for the oil change. I like the fact that the place is almost next door to BK and you don’t need an appt. It was quite fast, too. They do state inspections, so I just may go there, too.

It’s Sat and went in the pool. Vince thinks this is the last weekend for the pool, but to me it may just be the last weekend to go IN the pool, I can still lay poolside. Not giving up my pool until I absolutely must.

Margaret – “always put off until tomorrow” – took a lesson from Vince, I see

Jess came here today (no Colby but she did bring Ganon). She said she wanted to use the pool, but she just slept. Oh well, she said she’d be here in a few weeks and I hope Colby comes with her. I do like him. Although, to be honest, no man is good enough for my little girl….lol

While in the pool the other day (that’s where I do my best thinking) I decided I definitely want to go with TruGreen. We do need to get the lawn looking decent and C is very good – WHEN he gets to it. He works on C time. To me, it’s just frustrating, there’s practically no communication. Like he needed to replace one plant which he did, only he didn’t tell me he did so I didn’t water it. By the time I realized that he’d planted it, it was starting to get hot and I think it got burned up because it didn’t get a good root system.

Got Vince to go thru things in the garage, one shelf at a time. We did throw some things out, which is what I was looking for. Oil for things we no longer have, etc.

Deb – happy anniversary. That neon green stain – is it grass?

Vince wants to mow the grass late in the day tomorrow, which is fine so I’ll get to go in the pool during the day. But first I’ll exercise then I think I’ll walk to Food Lion. They have chicken thighs on sale, and I may get some to put in the freezer

Mo – one of the kitties we got was abandoned by his mother, too

Barbara – cats, too, easily figure out who’s the softie and who isn’t. They know they can get away with a lot more with Vince than they can with me. Vince just says “no” whereas I’ll spray them when they get on a counter. Vince said he has a hard time walking because of his plantar faciatious (?sp). He did get inserts from Amazon and he said they seem to really help

Vince went out by the pool today and saw that something – not sure what – bore a hole literally about 2” in diameter in the one pergola. He said he was going to fill it in with this expanding stuff. I wouldn’t be surprised if I wound up being the person who does it

Carol – you know your body better than anyone else, good for you listening to it.

Made hamburgers and hot dogs today since we won’t be able to use the grill much more. I just had a veggie burger

Burger King has some sort of new app they’re using. It looks like it’s more of a scheduling thing. I’ll probably only use it to request a day off. Evidently, it’s supposed to go live on Sept. 30. We shall see….

Lisa – love how you organized all your fabric. And love that pocketbook. You are so talented

Going to go take my walk

lToday is: Happy Autumn or Spring (depending on where you live)! Enjoy the cooler weather! Lots more today!







RVRita in Roswell

Good morning ladies,

Happy First Day of Autumn in our hemisphere.

Checking in - I'm doing better. No more temperature, yesterday was horribly drippy nose, slightly sore throat. Today not so many drips, but some sneezing. Coughing a little, not sleeping real well. Thank goodness I'm retired. My appetite is roaring back, lol.

Alex's crew came by on Friday and got a lot done, about 90% of what was on the list. Their trailer was too packed to load more junk and branches. They were going to come back yesterday morning and spray the weeds in my driveway but I looked up the weed killer they use... uh, no. So I'm not going to worry about the weeds this fall (it's not the right time to spray anyhow, spring/early summer is much better! And the bees are still on some of the blooms.) The garden centers sell 20% vinegar which does a good job the few times I used it this year. I need to get a new pump sprayer, I think Home Depot has them in stock. So I'll be ready next spring.

Beth - sorry your mom is getting so confused, glad she's in such a good place. Sounds like you are doing a great job with the extra apples.

Tracey - sounds like you had a lot of fun shopping with Lauryn and Michaela. Nice to get some new clothes for work.

Lisa - lovely purse, you are truly a fiber artist. I admire your brain and sense of design. Awesome job organizing your material - isn't it fun to be able to see what you have.

Machka - isn't it fun to plan the landscaping at your new place. Can't wait to see what you and your DH come up with, I'm sure it will be nice. What do you call the first day of our Autumn? Is it Spring where you live?

Barbara - awesome job on the continued decluttering. Joe has a sense of humor like my DH had. Ask Joe if he thinks the Johnson rod needs to be adjusted.

Rita - Crossing fingers you'll find a place where you can have a sewing/craft room soon. I loved your fingerless mittens, understand how frustrating it is when hands and fingers are painful and don't want to cooperate.

Michele - what determines when you close the pool? Temperature? Falling leaves/debris that might litter it?

Allie - Delia is a doll, so glad she's doing well.

Heather - I love reading about your walks and outings. And the yummy stuff you are able to pick up at the stores. Just like the old days.

That's all I can remember for now, lol.

Weekly check-in reminder for all who are participating, please get info to me by tomorrow noon. TIA

Hello, everyone. My Dh would yell at me to go to bed if he were here. I am having a busy weekend at the hospital, but I missed hearing from you all. I am taking care of the cutest kids and babies. I know I am new here on this site, but I wanted to tell you all that I value each and every one of you. Lisa, I love the poem, and Machka, I appreciate your post of encouragement. Annie- I am getting a Fleetwood Mac T-shirt. I remember when my dad surprised me with the Dreams album. Do not forget to model your new hairdo. Allie- how are you after doing the tedious work of making sure your granddaughter Selina gets cremated as planned? You may need to take a beat and grieve or say goodbye to her. I am praying for your family in this bittersweet time. Lanette, I hope you get better soon. Well, I better go to bed to deal with whatever comes my way tonight.
XO,
Mo

Deb – I’m glad it wasn’t a grass stain. If it was, I was going to give you a hint how to get it out of the clothing, but since it isn’t, that’s great

Tracey – we usually don’t grill in winter. But I think we just might if the weather cooperates. I think the curtains look just fine. How much shorter were you thinking of going?

So happy to see some of the grass that I planted coming in. This was the grass in the shade-only area. I may have to reseed, but at least some of it is coming in.

Carol – I don’t like the sound of redness and heat. I fully agree with Barbara, you need to have that looked at

Vince still has the plantar fasciatia (sp). I told him the other day that he needs to stretch his calf. It just frustrates me that he doesn’t listen to me, but Dr. Google knows it all and if uTube recommends a stretch, then it’s what should be done. Regardless of the fact that I told him a few days ago that that’s what should be done. But I’m not the one with the pain, so I’m not going to worry.

Speaking of pain: I can still feel something where the “callous” was, but it’s no where near as bad as it was. If he has to dig more out in a month, so be it. But at least I’m not walking weird (making a blister somewhere else). So I’ll just give it time

I spoke with C about the grass. He's going to come next Tues (24th). I didn't realize it, but Vince has a doctor appt at 9 and I have to count so I won't be home until around 12. C said he forgot about the stumps, he talked about covering them with dirt (?). To me, they need to be removed. He also said something about using a chainsaw to get them lower. So we shall see. I'm thinking that I may just go into work early, usually there isn't as much to have to do since I do a lot of Mondays, come home for a bit before I have to leave for the church.
