You did it again!

Where's MARIE this morning? She usually opens the thread!
BECKY, living in our Adult over 55 Community, we don't ever have candy around, even on Hallowe'en! Don't get too tempted!
PHOEBE, does *** mean you posted while sleeping?
BIRDIE, welcome back; always good to see you
SHIRLEY, hope you meet your Nov. goal. Wish I had the desire to set one for myself!

Woke up very late this morning after a dermatology procedure that left me achy and tired last night; so I started today with breakfast at lunchtime! We were lucky to escape all the flooding just south of us, and I wondered how GIGI's Mom made out. If you're out there, Gigi, let us know. Also, how are all of you in that wild spate of early snowstorms? South Florida got up to 14" of rain, but here it disappeared into our grounds quickly. Lakes are full over the tops again, and today is officially the start of our dry season.....maybe!

Thank you Sandy for staying up late and starting the new thread

---

it wasn't late here. I was still up calling in my votes for Dancing With the Stars but I didn't take time to reply.

:flowerforyou: we just came back from a yummy brunch with friends----crepes with all sorts of fillings, yogurt, cottage cheese, peanut butter, chopped nuts, dried cranberries, coconut, chocolate chips, chicken sausage, sauteed veggies, applesauce. It was delicious and the conversation with our friends went on for hours. I may or may not even try to log the food. I was sort of moderate but did eat peanut butter and chopped nuts :bigsmile:

:bigsmile: my goal for November is about the ninety minute dog walk each morning. In order to fit it in before being to line dance at 9 AM, I have to walk for almost an hour in the dark ( it will get better for awhile when daylight savings time ends and then get a lot worse). The weather will get colder and it may be raining and I'm determined to walk, no matter what.

No time to write much. 3 more treatments to go. Can hardly wait until I am done.

Best wishes to all.

Hello Seniors

Thank you Sandy for starting the thread, you are so nice to keep us up on our senior sneakers thread.

Today I had a day to play. I went to town and mall shopped, something I don't do much, and picked up some Christmas gifts for the girls in the family. Then I walked for about 10 minutes in the mall.

Then I met my friend for lunch and we caught up on family things and visted for a couple of hours.
Then I decided to go to target and see if I could find more christmas gifts and I did. So now I have almost half bought and will send them money too. Teenagers love money go figure.

I thought I ate too much today but it was ok.
Got to go company coming.

Happy November Sneakers and well done as ever Sandy for kicking us off!:bigsmile:

Irene ~ It's just lovely to see that little heart and know you are still with us and I'm sending a ton of them back to you. God bless.

Jeri ~ You hang in there sweetheart. Three more and counting eh but the time will go and we'll all be praying for a great outcome. A ton of hearts for you too!

Barbie ~ You are inspirational and I know your posts will kick me up the backside to get out walking when our bad weather really starts. I don't know about 90 minutes but can certainly do a lot more than I managed last winter which was practically nothing and why I'm here!!

Buzz ~ An official dry season? What a wonderful idea. I'm afraid Cornwall is more likely to have an official wet season that would run from January to December!:laugh:

Phoebe ~ I love to hear about your kittens. I think you will find once they're a little older their instincts will tell them when they need to be safe in your home rather than outside and will soon make good use of the catflap. Having said that my Jasper has become seriously confused since he had to be kept in with his injured paw. I'd had to lock the catflap so he couldn't get out but now he has his freedom again he seems to think he can't come in if I'm at home and just sits and looks at me through the glass in a pathetic way. When I'm out he doesn't seem to have a problem as I often find he's returned home while I've been away and settled on to the spare bed, his favourite place! I'm hoping a cold blast of winter air will get him trying harder to find his way in when I'm around! Having just finished typing this he's come straight in the catflap because he can't see me at the computer from the door. Silly boy!!:laugh:

I managed to get some early shopping done just before more rain came hurtling across the moors but am off out again to visit a lovely lady I used to see regularly when working for social services. She'll be 91 on Friday and is a joy. If ever I find I need some fighting spirit as I get older I'll think of her. Then tomorrow I have friends from London dropping in for lunch on their way to a long weekend further down into Cornwall. I was going to make pumpkin soup from a recipe a friend sent me but the ones in the stores looked ropey for the money so I'm going to make fish and sweet potato soup instead. Never made it before so it could go either way!!:bigsmile:

Have we heard from those of our friends in the snow and ice? That weather system is about to hit us but because it's crossed a warm Atlantic we're only getting rain I'm pleased to say.

Everyone take care
Jackie:flowerforyou:

:flowerforyou: Marie, I understand the bites here and there. Remember halloween was just this week. CANDY !!!!

:flowerforyou: Jackie, I am so glad that you are here. I have never spoken to anyone from England until now. I love hearing of your life and the different words you have for things. Is the fish IN the sweet potato soup or is it on it's own? I would love to have the soup recipe. Is it fairly low calorie?

So far this week (and it is just the second day :laugh: ), I have been faithful to the YMCA. I know that as long as I don't miss even one class that I will do fine. I am the type that once I miss one I will continue to miss.

A pet door would be great. But, I rent, so I can't have one. I have three cats. One of them is about 7 and he is in and out all the time. When it gets super cold, he will be spending more time in the house. Then, there is the kitten that my son rescued from a crack in a porch. Took him 2 hours to get her out. Her mother is a wild barn cat so she wouldn't take her baby back. My daughter hand fed her and we have kept her. She is such a baby. Finally, there is the neurotic cat who lives in the basement. She didn't always live there but took up housing there when the little kitten arrived. I will go to the basement and have a seat and she will be all over me. Funny cat. I found aa opossum on my front porch the other night. Never seen one there before. We live in town so these critters don't show up much.

Tonight I have my Hip Hop class at 6:30 and then a Zumba class at 7:30. This will give me an hour and a half of dancing.:bigsmile:
