No time to write anything.

We leave soon headed north toward the land of warmer weather. It should be in the 80's where we're going.

Big hugs,
Barbie

Marie - are you all right? Are you better today? Have you been able to move around some? Wow, you've been through an ordeal. Don't worry about your weight right now - just get well!!!!!!:flowerforyou: :

Barbie and Jake - have you been there for 2 weeks already? Where to now? I'm loving this trip by the way! thank you for sharing it with us.

Beth - thanks so much for checking in. We worry when we don't hear from you for too long. Don't worry about not having time to write - just a "hey guys i'm fine" is great!

Sandy - i haven't checked out the website yet but i plan on it.

Jeffrey - thinking about you and Day. Hang in there.

Cow sitting went fine - only i locked the poor dog IN the house. I felt AWFUL. Good thing i went back the next morning to check on everything. And we had so much rain i almost got stuck in their driveway! Sheesh - i sure made a mess of it anyway:ohwell:

I ate TERRIBLE this weekend and didn't have the courage to weigh this morning. I worked out like crazy on Saturday and Sunday but didn't get to yesterday at all.......hopefully by the time i weigh on Friday it won't be as bad as i'm thinking! At my friend's daughter's graduation party he did mention that i was "melting away to nothing" which made me extremely happy!!!!! And my Marine friend told his gf he had forgotten how "tiny" i am - that hugging me was like hugging himself . So that was fun! THEN i go and blow it..................go FIGURE:grumble:

Well - today's another day, another week..........hope everybody had a great weekend. Jeffrey - i hope really good things happen for you and Day this week.

u guys - elli

Marie I am glad you are resting a lot...that will help you more than anything else....I would not worry about the 2 pounds....remember last time it was 5 pounds and it came off and these will also..It is the medication they give you during surgery that has caused that gain....

I hope everyone had a nice weekend and remembered all of our FALLEN HEROS.....and their families....

I pray for our veterans and their families daily....I want God to Bless them all.....

Have a good week....:flowerforyou:

52 to pounds!!! Great Job. So are you actually using your treadmill daily?

Hello to All,
It was 42 degrees this morning when I walked the dogs. We drove one of the most beautiful drives in North America this morning----north on US 101 to Crescent City, CA then northwest on US 199 through the Smith River Canyon. Now we’re about 100 miles into Oregon on I-5 back at the RV park with the fenced dog yard next to the RV spot, fitness room, and pool. It is 74 degrees here now and I can finally wear short pants and short sleeves.

:flowerforyou: Gayla---best wishes for a speedy recovery and good use of your “sick days”.

:flowerforyou: Marie

take the time to make a full recovery and enjoy whatever pampering you can still get until you’re totally healed.:bigsmile:

:flowerforyou: Elli----the two weeks in Eureka seemed long to us because it was so cold most of the time. We used our time wisely and had wonderful visits with so many people who are important to us. I am so happy to hear about the nice comments people made about your “slim self”. There might be something not so good about people telling you how great you look. Maybe your brain thinks you don’t need to be so careful now that you’ve done so well. Anyway, you know that you still want to be careful about your eating so jump back on the bus and continue on your journey.

:flowerforyou: BigGramma----we flew our flag on Monday and thought about our fallen heroes all day.

:flowerforyou: Thotbranch

this is a great group of people dedicated to good eating and exercise. Several of us have exercise equipment that we use nearly every day.

:flowerforyou: Beth---good to hear from you again.

:flowerforyou: Sandy—you’re probably getting rested after your busy weekend. You are such a fabulous grandma.

:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Jeffrey and Day----I’m thinking good thoughts for you today.

:flowerforyou: Phoebe----are you getting rested before your next big trip? Where do you go next?

Jake's kids got him started on Facebook and he's been spending a lot of time with that so you may no be hearing much from him. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:

We are about 48 hours away from getting home. We’re trying to stay in the moment but we can’t help making lists of what to do when we get home. Jake already made an appointment for the dogs at the vet (they are both limping a bit after their big running adventure on Sunday) and for the motorhome at the repair shop (the back air conditioner isn’t working).

Now I’m headed outside for a walk in the warm weather.:bigsmile:

Hugs,
Barbie

Good Morning Everyone!

Welcome Thotbranch! Nice to have you here. These are a very special bunch of individuals here and some of the nicest folks you will ever want to meet. I am located in Indiana and have been here for the duration! Let me know if there is anything that I can do for you!

Barbie- glad you are enjoying. We are finally getting my kind of weather here, warm! It has been raining but we need it. I have been watering the flowers and such and the rain is welcome.

Sandy- sorry about the card game! LOL Next time for you!

Gayla- Between me and you our luck is bound to improve! LOL

Elli- How is the house coming? I need an upate!

BG- glad to hear from you!

Pheobe- Are you home now?

Jake- get anymore golf in?

Beth- I drove by a hooters the other day and they had the "girls" out in thier parking lot with Hoola hoops! No I did not stop! (but I did notice them! LOL)

Marie- I am very happy to hear that you are doing well. I have been worried about you!

We are doing fine here. I have been cleaning carpets and such. The job search is weak at best right now. I have quite a bit out there but in this area there is just not much to even apply to right now. But I have faith and hope. It could be worse! My garden is doing ok, I have going to have to replant a few beans and cumubers. The tomatoes are all doing splendid and look very good. I have a few green peppers starting to form and the lettuce and romaine are doing great. We have a graduation party this weekend to go to for my nephew. It has the potential to be greatly entertaining! My family puts the "fun" in dysfunctional!

Thank you all for your kind thoughts and prayers. I would ask that you continue them, not only for us, but all others. There are many more in far greater need than us. Anyway, thank you again! Have a great day!

Jeffrey (I posted another new weight!)

Hi and Welcome mtgal47, you just joined. :flowerforyou: We are a great group of some seniors and those who want to be. :laugh: Just kidding, we seniors want to be with the young crowd. :happy:
We share information on our lives, our happiness, our sorrows, anything that you want to talk about.
We encourage each other on our diets and our exercise, our ups, our downs. Never judge, never hollar, only give support for each other. Hope you enjoy us and stay with us.

I am so sore from my new Wii Active, especially from doing squats. :blushing: I think today I will do the elliptical and if I get enough energy maybe a little bit of Wii Active. Tonight is my bingo night so I need some extra calories for snacks. :laugh:

Babie and Jake, you should be home soon, hope all is well with you. Who is the cute baby that you posted???

I am going to try and write later since I really want to get moving with my day. I have a broken nail on my pinky and it makes it so hard to type with a bandage. :laugh:

I will touch base with the rest of you later.

Sandy

Hi everyone! We had a gorgeous day today although windy. I hope the wind goes away overnight, my husband and our neighbour are supposed to be doing a balloon ride in the morning. My pear tree is in full bloom and looks so wonderful. Of course, we don't get any edible pears on it, our growing season is very short. Neil has an infected ingrown toenail on the other foot. It always seems that there is something.

Marie-- It is so unusual not to have a post from you. I hope all is well.

Phoebe -- How are you doing? I expect you are out trucking somewhere.

Jeffrey -- You ane Day pop into my thoughts so often. I hope the tests come back clean.

elli-- A little slip will do no long term damage unless you let it. You are already back on the straight and narrow and you will see that gain disappear quickly.

Sandy -- I watched the video. Wow, those girls can really move. I did vote as well. I hope eventually to be able to do the Wii Active, once I get this back working the way it should. I am going to ask my physio about yoga. She gave me a couple of exercises so we shall see.

Barbie -- You have sure had a wonderful holiday. It is always sad for a holiday to come to an end. Maybe it isn't that way when it doesn't mean that it is time to go back to work!

Beth -- Hi to you, I know you are working hard.

BG -- How is life treating you?

Hi to you new folks. I look forward to getting to know you both.

Take care and keep smiling. Gayla

Hi, Everyone,
Just a note to let you know all is well with us, on our way home up Hwy 97, Great visit with the kids and grandkids, hard to say goodbye.
Car trouble, a computer or something, It sat on the street in the next town where we went to church on Sunday. Tried several times to get it going Sunday and Monday, then finally had it towed to garage on Tues. They couldn't do anything with it so the next morning they had to load it up on the truck again and haul it the 17 miles to Hanford to the dealers. That's pretty scary because you never know what it is going to end up costing. However, it wasn't too bad, they reprogrammed the thing. We're still not sure if we can trust it so are being very careful not to turn it off except in larger cities.
Good news is that when I weighed in yesterday morning I had lost another 2 lbs, yeh! yeh! Hope the home scales are the same and I don't get carried away when we get home. Haven't been tracking anything but haven't had much appetite.
Read quite a few of the posts but won't take time to answer each one individually just now as we are ready to pack it in for the day.
All the best to all of you, really appreciate your support and news.
Ellen

Hi all,
Hope things are going well with you all... Marie... you better not make me come back to Texas and kick your butt for not taking care of yourself... I am not going to be there until Thanksgiving (I hope)
Things here are going OK... its been a long couple of weeks but things are slowing down right before the next project ramps up...this project is a little more in-depth then the last and we will be pouring a boat load more concrete. Have I mentioned the concrete here is so corrosive you get burns from it? I didn’t get burned but one of the guys did and pretty bad ones but since they don’t make concrete boots and keep them in stock at "kids R us" (I wear a men's size 3 - 3.5) the jokes never stop in this place. Oh but the best part is I have lost 1" off my waist and 1" off my thighs I have yet to find an accurate scale…so I will know more later on that aspect.

Marie… as I said take care of you and be well my friend

Barbie …. I am sure I missed this who is the cutie in the pic?

Jeff…. Sure you didn’t stop at Hooters? I have had to give up the hoop for a bit as we have had some issues with people being stupid here and I am now not allowed outside without someone there so it kind of kills the 0300 hula hooping. How is the job search going?

Elli… How are things going?

Gayla… How is Neil doing? I would love to see pear trees in bloom

Mt Gal… welcome to the group I am the token military non senior of the group

Ellens… glad you managed to get on the road again.

Phoebe … where is she?

Sandy…thanks for the thoughts but its just a job

Have a great weekend y'all, I will try and get on more then I have lately

Beth
