Senior Golden Sneakers............October

JAKE...Your greetings were a day early, as I thought yesterday was the 10th :noway: , but here's to you again, dear man!
[img][/img]
and many many more HAPPY BIRTHDAYS to you :drinker:

MARIE, gorgeous autumn scene; it could easily be New Hampshire, too!...I used my Crock Pot yesterday, too, for the turkey balls and vegetables in tomato sauce...no salt! I use liners for the Crock Pot, by the way, which makes cleaning a snap. Then the liner, food and all, goes into the refrigerator until I pack it for the freezer. I get them in the plastic bag area in my Supermarket!

PHOEBE, I don't envy you having to work on a special plan with all the driving you do! I do hope something works out; is there a support group online for that diet? Mayo Clinic may have one online, and others must have similar planning problems. Good luck, dear; you work so hard! By the way, besides that Thermapore wrap, I found 2 Tylenol Arthritis seem to work unexpectedly well!

CHRIS, so sad about Momma deer! And the babies have lost their role model! You'll just have to adopt them, I guess! My DD used to have entire deer families in her back area in N.C. but now she has moved to a more urban area, so no deer anymore. We loved watching them, except when they'd come up for BBQ! Your doing great with the walking!

BARBIE, I think I'll put a new battery in my pedometer and forget about setting all the confusing things in it and just count steps! I used to average about 12000 a day, but think if I see 600 now, it'll surprise me! Too much computer time! I loved your analogy about morning walks, etc....5 AM used to be my favorite time to start my 5 mile morning walks; can't believe I could live that way, once! But watching the world wake up was amazing! Please tell Jake to go back on here to yesterday, which was where my greeting for him was! Enjoy the --yum--lamb!

BECKY, how nice to bike together! We used to eat at CrackerBarrell on our yearly drive to Florida from Long Island...18 years ago!!! Can't touch most of their food now, but I sure mess up elsewhere, so why not go back for nostalgia's sake?

SANDY, you're so adept with those graphics! Text ain't easy!

We're off to dinner, as I can't stand the though of cooking one more day! Every joint hurt after those turkey balls, and I don't know why; maybe the weather, which was rainy several days. Today is just magnificent, and things don't ache!

Happy Thanksgiving Everyone, and thank you all for the kind wishes,

No time to write much. We have out of town company arriving in about an hour and I need to get my supper in order. We had a wonderful Thanksgiving dinner at my dd's yesterday. Gluten Free, Egg Free and Milk Free. My daughter is so obliging. It fit all my criteria - well her's too except for the eggs because her family eats eggs. How nice to have such a wonderful dinner and not have to worry about getting sick from it. My dd invited another couple. The guy had been helping her husband with some carpentry work and they didn't have anywhere to go for Thanksgiving. He eats gluten free. How lucky he was to be invited for a nice dinner that he didn't have to worry about. When you eat like I do, eating out is always an adventure and you are never sure how you'll make out.

Anyway got to run. Have a great day.

:flowerforyou: Jeri, what a wonderful daughter you have.

:flowerforyou: buzz, Cracker Barrel has a wonderful, low-calorie breakfast. It had a parfie, (I know that isn't spelled right. Do you know what I am talking about?), with a muffin. I give the muffin to my husband. They are huge and full of calories. I sometimes get the egg beaters and turkey sausage to go with it.

:flowerforyou: Marie, I love reading of your diet and menus. I am thinking of going to beans and leaving out most meats.

I had baked sword fish last night. First time to taste it. It was great.

Goodmorning Ladies;

We had our Thanksgiving Day weekend and the weather was in high 70's
and one day it was 80 degrees. We couldn't have asked for a better weekend.:bigsmile:

We got my mother in law all settled in her new apartment and unpacked.
I hope she is going to like it. We will know in a month or so if she is going to stay there.

My daughter made dinner on Sunday and since she is vegetarian she made
an all vege meal for us and a low cal dessert. It was very good.:drinker:
She made a dish which was very similar to Buzz's receipe of Moukassa.
I hope I spelled that right.

On Monday we had the traditional turkey dinner with mashed potatoes and cranberries.
I think my brother in law was happy to have meat.

Great time for everyone. :bigsmile:

Hi everyone,

Well, I canned pears and made applesauce today. I went up and down the starirs about 8 times getting things and doing laundry. My day has flown by. That is about all I did.

Hope your day is going good. Talk to you tomorrow.
Chris

Just a quick "hi"...busy , upsetting day, as my dear friend was given too much coumadin, and then a pill for vitamin K to reverse the bleeding, and since she lives alone, I spent many hours until we could get her entered into emergency at the hospital. I just pray she will revover from the effects of this mess, as she has been having one accident after another this past year! I think I may have mentioned a few weeks ago her car was hit by a young women texting while driving through a red light! Anyway, it makes me grateful when I'm alright! That coumadin seems to be so dangerous for some people, yet it's a necessary evil, I guess!

Hi all and welcome new folks.

I am only here a minute as I am making some soup for dinner with the turkey broth I made after Thanksgivg dinner. I was nearly finished my longer post when my iPad battery died. It did warn me but I thought I could complete it. Bad decision.

Have a great mid-week. A late Happy Birthday to Jake! Gayla

Becky Gayla is a great cook. I wish i enjoy cooking as well as she does. She is always cooking something so yummy

Woke up to rain this morning . So we are off to a great start. Yes today is hump day and we are off to the store to get our weekly grocers bought later this morning. Jerry is still asleep and Sammy is on his palet right beside me sound asleep too. I got to go and get woke up See you later.

Everyone seems to be making soup. Must be the sign of the
weather changing.

I made my Kale and Bean again on Monday so I can eat it at work
all week. Still finsihing up the Chicken Chili too.

The weather is gray and it has started raining today . I am working today
because I took Monday off for our holiday. So cleaning day will be changed
to Friday.

My goal is to get back to my regular eating pattern after the holiday. There were
pasteries brought into work yesterday so I just had to have some.
Now I have to get back to losing again, this plateau has been going on too long
and should be broken. :grumble:

Of course another challenge on Saturday will be our Tom Turkey dinner at our
sailing club. I will pick and chose my eats. There always seems to be a
temptation but that is what we call Life. This will be the last dinner for the season.:drinker:
