Hi everyone - more snow today. I was going to make a home depot run but i lent out my pick up and can't get stuff in the little car. Oh well - going to neighbors this afternoon for birthday dinner for another neighbor.
Still not doing great with the food thing - don't know WHAT my problem is! I better get it together soon though!
Have a great day everyone.0 -
Good Morning,
It is sunny and cool, but still great for November. I should really put up my Christmas lights while the weather is still warm. I just can't seem to to it before Thanksgiving. Hard to believe the holidays are so close, weren't they just here last week???
Elli, the picture of your snow is beautiful, there is nothing as pretty as a fresh falling snow. Glad you have it though and not us. :laugh: Have you been writing down your calories or are you just guessimating?
We have to go back to the beginning and record everything like we used to do and drink as much water as we can in one day. That is how we lost all our weight remember? Now I think both of us think we don't have to record our calories or we are just "too" busy to take the time to do it. We were exercising regularly, while now we do it when we can. We are bad girls and need to get back with the program. Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of our lives, let's make the most of it.
Marie, you are our rainbow, so colorful, so beautiful and someone we wish we could see everyday.!!
Keep up the good work, you give us strength and motivation.
Birdie, I hope your MIL is doing okay. She is so lucky to have you in her life. Your faith is so strong, I know you can get through anything. :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
Gayla, hearing about your relationship with Neil is heartwarming. I hope everyday your strength is returning and you will soon be able to do whatever you want without getting tired. How wonderful you are going to still work with children in the hospital. You are a special person who gives and gives,
God Bless you.
Jeffrey, I hope both your mil and sil are holding their own and you were able to take your trip. You need some time for relaxing, I hope this trip will help. :flowerforyou:
Barbie, I bet you are missing Jake something awful. You do it all don't you? You cook, you can food, you knit, you walk the dogs,you exercise, you watch your food, I am soooooooo sooooo jealous.
Beth, still training for the race?? How is everything going since your return? :flowerforyou:
:flowerforyou:
Weaklink, hope you are also doing well. If I have to go back and look at posts, I highlight and copy my own posts and then go back and look. When I go back to the reply I just paste what I have already written. What ever works, right??
Ellen, Phoebe and whoever else I am missing, keep safe.
Marie, I think you need to post a list of all of the names of everyone in our group, so that those of us with bad memories don't forget anyone. :laugh: :laugh: :laugh:
Have a great day!!

ELLI IS THIS YOUR NEAREST SNOW? lOVELY. JUST LOVELY
Marie0 -
Good morning everyone - thank you for the pep talk Sandy - you're right - we get so close to goal and think we don't have to record calories anymore. On my "bad" days i don't enter everything. I'm trying to do better! Drinking my water is never a problem, but today IS the first day of the rest of our lives and it's going to be a great one!
Yes Marie - this is our last week snow storm. It IS pretty. This morning it's COLD here , -4! I'm so glad i have heaters in the dogloos for Billy and Bonnie! It's supposed to get nice though.
My friend Angela who works with me called me last night - she's pretty sure her almost 16 year old daughter has h1n1. It sounds like she's SOOOOOOOO sick. I think Ang probably won't come to work today and take Jamie to the Dr. I hope so.......Well - she just made a liar out of me - she just pulled in.
Everybody stay warm and healthy and have a great day!

Good Morning Everyone!
Back from Atlanta! it was great! The weather was perfect! Amanda is good and doing very well. Today I am a little blue missing her and her sister. But I suppose that is normal. Day and I stopped at the casino on the way home yesterday and won about $400 so that was good! It is good to be back home but boy do I miss the girls...
Sandy my SIL is doing as well as can be expected. It appears that they have found more tumors in the pelvic area. She is stage 4 and this round of chemo will need to be adjusted. It is not having effect. This is her 3rd round of multiple chemo treatments. Please keep Diane in your prayers everyone. There are tough days ahead. The MIL is being her obnoxious self. Enough said there! LOL
Barbie the applesause sure sounds good. I love the stuff!
Elli the snow is beautiful (to look at), but I hate winter! I can't get outside to do the things that I like.
Beth it was great to ready your post.
Barb glad things are going well for you.
Birdie you doing ok?
Gayla I really enjoy your post. I feel like a neighbor!
Marie is the family all getting together for Thanksgiving?
I have started running again. It has been years since I have done that. So far so good. Doing about a mile right now, daily. Fairly decent time. so far I am holding up. I will probably try for 5 miles late this week when the weather breaks a little. This weekend we have to go check on the mom's again and then to across the state to Samantha's Senior Receital (vocal). So Saturday will be the day from heck again. then Thanksgiving! Amanda is coming home Saturday! sam will be home a week from tomorrow. I can not wait!
We will have the MIL and BIL here for Thanksgiving and the girls. Day and I will cook the dinner, they will eat and run. LOL That evening we will probably go to our friends house for another meal. They are really family and we love them dearly. That is about it for now. Glad everyone is well!
Take care and remember the season! Be Thankful! We are all blessed...

Good afternoon Elli, Beth and Jeffrey.
Elli Look like you guys are in for a rough winter. Hope it is not too bad. Sammy would freeze his butt off there. Me too.
Beth that ada relly made a mess of things. I didn't realize you were on the coast line. Or are you? Lots of water. Take care.
Jeffrey so nice to get such a long post from you. You have a wonderful family life. Enjoy them while you can. And we are going to have a nice dinner with our kids. Just hoping I don't overeat.
Barbiecat. I have miss place my pedometer. Don't know what happen to it.
Marie0 -
Hi everyone. Hmm, I just lost my post, hate that. We still have wonderful weather here. Of course, this time of year, any day without snow is a good one! By the way, Elli, your snow looks gorgeous!! We had some running around to do today, interrupted to have lunch with Quinn at the restaurant. Last night Gregg and Sasha were here for dinner. I made baked beans with the leftover ham bone from our Thanksgiving in October. There was actually a lot of ham on it making the beans extra good (but not low calorie). I made a salad to go with it which helped a bit. I wish I had my Mom's recipe for baked beans. I don't think she put molasses in hers as the colour was so light, almost a pinky colour, maybe a pinky beige. Sounds strange but they really were good and a completely different dish than the darker ones that I usually make. Gotta love beans!!
Tomorrow I have to go to the dentist, cleaning time, I hope he doesn't find anything else. Then we have to go to the lawyers to finalize our wills and guardianship for Neil which we just had redone.
Beth -- That is a lot of water!! Thanks for sharing the pictures.
Marie -- Enjoy your dinner. I am sure you will do fine.
Elli -- I hope Angela's daughter is doing ok, I know H1N1 is no picnic!
Jeffrey -- Sounds like you had a nice weekend and have a great family holiday coming up. enjoy! I will send up a few words for Diane for strength, pain control and health. I know you are right, there are tough days ahead.
I can't remember what else I was going to say. People keep suggesting ways of doing the post so that you can check back and I never remember to do it, not that I don't know how!!! Sorry folks, hope you are all well.
Take care and keep smiling. gayla0 -
I made it to the gym tonight! That makes me happy! Having a good food day as well.
Jeffrey - i'm so glad you got to go to Atlanta! AND win money! right on!!!!!!!!
I'm glad you all liked my snow pics - it's melting now and we're not supposed to have anymore for a bit.
Gayla - Jamie ALSO has bronchitis! Poor kid- she's REALLY sick. I'm so glad you're on the mend! They put her on tamiflu.
Beth - OMG - that's a LOT of water. The picture that really got me was the little whitecaps around the pine trees!!!!!!!!!!!
Marie - i think you're right - i think we could be in for a snowy winter! Billy and Bonnie sure are liking their heated pads!
Have a good night everyone! I'm off to read now. elli0 -
:flowerforyou: Hi Everybody, It's cold and rainy here. Bernie keeps going out hoping that the weather will get better. Haifa is older so he figured out after two trips outside that the weather wouldn't change so he went to sleep in the guest room. the dogs have been sad because we weren't able to go to the dog park:sad: Jake got home about 5 PM yesterday. He drove most ot the way home in the rain.
:flowerforyou: Gayla, we mostly eat applesauce with oatmeal but you're right that it would go with a pork roast.......I'd send you some but it would never make it through the mail.:laugh:
:flowerforyou: Marie, I hope you'll keep on with this program....it sounds like a good one and one that needs to be followed for a long time to be truly effective and continued as a lifestyle change. Have you looked in all your pockets for your pedometer?
:flowerforyou: Elli, there's snow in the mountains near us but not down at sea level where we are.....one year it snowed here the day after Thanksgiving so we might get some soon.......I continue to wish you the best at getting back to your old good eating habits.....you've done well before, so I know you can do it.
:flowerforyou: Sandy, there are Christmas lights up on a lot of houses and buildings here already. Last weekend the Christmas craft fairs began and will continue every weekend until Christmas.......it's hard to stay focused on Thanksgiving with all that going on.
:flowerforyou: Beth you are always so busy.......it makes my retirement seem so lazy:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: glad to hear from you in the midst of all your work
:flowerforyou: Jeffrey, I'm glad your weekend in Atlanta turned out well and that you won some money, besides
starting to run again sounds great........having your family together for Thanksgiving sounds even better.:bigsmile:
I think I have just one more day of applesauce making after today. It has been fun, but enough is enough:laugh: :laugh: I have other things I want to do with my time.
stay warm and dry........hugs Barbie0 -
Happy Monday or what is left of it.
Barbie, you are still working on the applesauce? You have a lot of patience but in the end it will be worth all your hard work. :drinker:
Elli, so glad you had a good day as I did. I did 43 minutes of Wii Active and 45 minutes on my elliptical.
I have recorded my calories and had a good day. Tomorrow is the first day of the rest of our lives, let's do it again. (Tuesday are not good for me but will try to get some exercise in somehow).
Gayla, sounds like you are feeling better, so happy to hear that. Don't feel guilty about retirement, you deserve some time for yourself. Besides you plan on working at the hospital which will make you happy.
Jeffrey, happy that you had a great weekend with your girls. As you know my son just moved to Arizona and I miss him so much already. No matter how old they are they will always be our kids. :bigsmile:
Beth, your pictures were amazing, there was an awful amount of water. I hope things are getting back to normal and you have time for us and your family.
Marie, I agree with Barbie, check your pockets for your pedometer, remember Barbie said she washed her once. :laugh:
Time to go rest now and enjoy some of my shows. Will check with you in the morning.
Sandy0 -
Sandy - i can't remember if i told you before - Daisy looks SOOOOOOO adorable! I feel so much better today after even 1 good day - it's amazing isn't it? Yep - today's going to be another 1. Even if you don't get to exercise - just stick with the healthy eating plan. I usually try and do yoga on Tuesdays but i have book group tonight and if i go right from yoga to book group i don't get to eat then i'm STARVING when i get back home. So maybe i'll just go to the gym b4 book group. I'll do something...........
Barbie - applesauce and oatmeal! That sounds delicious! I'm going to try it. I still have some apples from my trees down in the basement. I'm happy for you that today's your last day! Hopefully your weather will clear up so you can get to the dog park! I haven't been able to walk my poor dogs either - the snow and now the mud. They look at me so sad.:frown: poor little buddies.
ok - off to work! have a great day all.0 -
Good Morning Everyone!
Looks like everyone is well! Pretty quiet here today, just working. Nothing new to report, and that is a good thing!
Worked out pretty good last night and then followed it up with a 1 mile run. My time was greatly improved yesterday. It is real nasty here today. Chilly with a stiff wind. I will probably use the elipical machine tonight instead of running outside.
Pretty boring stuff from me today!
Everyone be well and happy!
Jeffrey0 -
Good Morning,
I don't know how you guys up north handle this cold weather. It got down to 40 something this morning and I am freezing my tail end off. Wish I had a nice bowl of hot chili this morning. I do have some veggie soup I made yesterday, the only thing it needs is hot corn bread which I can't have. Will toast me a low carb to go with it at lunch time. They are telling us it will get into the middle 30's tonight.BRRRRRRRRRRRRRR. thats is cold. Got to check out chili on my [lsn. I have been going to their webb site and learn a lot . Still going strong on the plan
Stay Warm!!!

Greeting to all my Golden Sneakers friends!
I am at work, so just a quick HI!
Hello:
Marie:flowerforyou: , Elli:flowerforyou: , Jeffrey:flowerforyou: , Beth:flowerforyou: Gayla:flowerforyou: , Barb:flowerforyou: , Ellen:flowerforyou: , Barbie:flowerforyou: & Jake:flowerforyou: !!!
As many know my MIL is in the hospital, from a stroke, and I have been cleaning out her apartment. As soon as I found out she, most likely, won't be coming home, I threw out all her desserts, cookies, candies, ice cream etc. If, by some miracle, she comes home, I will be more than happy to go out and buy the junk and put it back. But for now, I need to do....what I need to do...and my husband is absolutely thrilled with the results of my weight loss:blushing: In fact, he said now that the treats are not calling to him...HE would like to try to lose some weight! In fact, he told me the other day, when I was looking for some clothes that WEREN'T too big....that I have absolutely no idea just how much of a difference the 26 lbs has made!! Wow...that was worth a lot! :bigsmile: But even if he didn't notice...I NOTICE and am having the time of my life looking a potential outfits that were just out of the question 26 lbs ago.
Have a great day. Will try to check in again if I have the time.:smooched:
BirdieM
**sniff **sniff am I not a friend??
OMG!!! I'm just looking back on the posts as I have had so little time to post....and I just saw this.....big OOPS!!! You are a friend:embarassed:
BirdieM:smooched:0 -
:laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: was just kidding you Birdie, I knew you just missed me. :bigsmile:
Jeffrey, when all is quiet that is good. :happy: Take it while you can.
Marie, I hate cold weather, but living in the Midwest I don't have much choice. :grumble:
Elli, I didn't do much today but did try to watch my calories. Tomorrow is another day, unless I get up the energy to work on my elliptical. :glasses:
I won at cards but it was a long day, again I am going to the couch to relax. I think I will go downstairs and work with Daisy first and maybe then I will do the elliptical.
Hope your day was wonderful.
Sandy0 -
:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: I love living in the north. I love my two new winter coats. I love to knit with wool, I love the snow. If I had my life to live over I would be born and raised in Northern Minnesota or Saskatchewan or some other snowy place where I could learn to ski and skate and drive a car on snowy roads.:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:
:flowerforyou: the scale went down another pound this morning, but I'm sure it won't be gone tomorrow. We went out to lunch today at our local Vietnamese restaurant and splurged on a yummy chicken curry which even with eating only half the rice came to 1,000 calories. Even if I walk, ride, exercise off enough calories, the sodium will contribute a bunch of water weight :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: :laugh: When we were driving home I saw all the signs for seasonal goodies (pumpkin muffins, egg nog latte, etc,) and realized that I wasn't interested in any of them, but I'd go out for another meal of chicken curry with very little encouragement :laugh: :laugh: at least my splurges are healthier these days.
We had a sudden very cold storm this afternoon and I thought we'd never make it to the dog park, but the weather reversed itself suddenly and dried up so the girls and I got to go and we stayed for almost an hour.........I needed to walk the steps and burn the calories.
A friend sent me a videotape of a Leslie Sansone Walk at Home workout and I discovered that I can put it on in the guest room and do the workout while Jake needs it quiet in the house to work or may phone calls.:bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile: :bigsmile:
Jake bought the DVD of Star Trek today and we have a friend coming over in a few minutes to watch it with us.
hugs to all Barbie0 -
Quick update as I have to get ready for work. I lost another lb.:bigsmile: .... and another 1.5 inches.:bigsmile: So total weight lost in 3 mos is 27 lbs and 18 in.:blushing: I am so amazed:bigsmile: I can't believe that I am losing this fast without doing anything "Over the top" especially at my age! Praise be to God for giving me a new focus, this website, new friends and a new life! 1200 calories a day plus exercise calories and that's it:happy: I eat whatever I want, HOWEVER when you have a lower calorie count you automatically make wiser choices I stay away from junk food and only eat "healthy " foods, THAT I ENJOY! The way I feel losing weight is so much happier then any eating, or food has EVER made me! I read the posts yesterday and will try to hop on and read the new posts as well as comment today if things slow down at work! It's been so busy!
Hanging in there "One day at a time".
God Bless!
BirdieM0 -
Congratulations Birdie, you are doing a great job on losing weight and making healthy choices!! :flowerforyou:
I have decided it is time to post my one pound loss. Although my weight tends to go up and down on a daily basis, most morning are the same at 131.6, so for my own vanity I am posting to encourage myself to do even better. :bigsmile:
It is cold, rainy and dreary, a good day for staying in bed. :noway: I hope to get in some good exercise today and play bingo this evening.
Hope everyone has a good day.
Sandy0 -
hoooray Sandy! hooray Barbie! hooooray Birdie!!!!!!!!!!:happy: :happy: :happy: :happy: you guys are all doing SO great! Birdie - WOW! 27 pounds in 3 months without cruel and unusual suffering! That is AWESOME! Eating healthy is SO much better! Last night at book group we got to talking about food additives and packaged, processed yucky food.........just made me feel pretty good about the way i eat MOST of the time !
I had another good day yesterday - made it to the gym, ate sensibly.......hopefully i'll start losing the pounds i had put back on BEFORE the holidays. But really - Thanksgiving is just one day! I'll give away or freeze most of my leftovers, or turn them into dog food! I just found out that 2 of the people i thought were coming now aren't - and i've ordered a 20+ pound turkey (organic, free range) so i'm pretty sure i'm going to have a LOT leftover. I may have company all weekend though - so i can feed it to them. Sorry - i seem to be thinking "outloud" :laugh:
My kids have very close friends - the husband is in Iraq right now - he called and told his wife of 6 years that he's no longer in love with her........:sad: he is her LIFE (they have a 4 yr old too). It's just too heartbreaking - my son and his wife keep calling me for advice on helping her through it......i'm friends with these other kids too - right now i just want to shake him! I'm so mad!:grumble:
Sorry - didn't mean to dump on you this morning friends! Let's all have a good healthy day!0 -
Good Morning!
Another nasty day here. But it will improve! Work is good and the In-laws are quiet! Whoo Hoo!
I have been increasing the training again. And I have lost another inch but no weight loss, so that was good. I have been looking at competitions for next year and have found a couple that look like fun. Not too much else gong on. I am going to make a big pot of chili today and I am lookin forward to that. I have a tough workout tonight and running so I will need fuel! I want cookies, but I need fuel! LOL
Everyone have a great day!
Jeffrey0 -
:happy: Have a little time at work so thought I'd drop in
:bigsmile: Marie: 40degrees and you’re freezing your …you know what…off??? Boy you’d never make it in RI! :noway: :noway: Although we’ve had relatively mild weather so far, when it gets cold and damp….you’d freeze more that that off!! :laugh: But I agree with Barbie, that the snow is beautiful, the air fresh and crisp and invigorating. I wouldn’t live any place else either! Stay warm.
:bigsmile: Jeffrey: A workout followed by and run and then the elliptical?? Wow! I’ve been doing just the treadmill and that’s a stretch!!! :ohwell: It must be great to be in such good shape!!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
BTW Cookies are good….but fuel get’s us to where we want to be :laugh:
:bigsmile: Sandy: I can’t imagine winning so much at bingo! You’re really lucky! I hardly ever win money.:grumble: I guess that’s why I don’t go!! :ohwell: But then again, I suppose I’d have to GO in order to win!!??:laugh: :laugh:
BTW I wish I only had 3 lbs to lose! Be careful that you, Barbie Elli and Jeffrey don’t disappear!!:noway: You're all doing so well!!!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
:bigsmile: Elli: glad you’re getting to the gym. :flowerforyou: There’s something mentally rewarding about taking good care of yourself.:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
I’m so sorry to hear about the young girl whose husband is in Iraq! I’m especially sorry for the child! :frown: How do you explain such a thing to a 4 yr old? You’re right…it is heartbreaking.:brokenheart:
:bigsmile: Barbie: I’m glad that Jake is home! :flowerforyou: That’s an awful lot of applesauce for 1 person to eat!! :laugh: :laugh:
Congratulations on the lb. lost! I wouldn’t worry about the chicken curry as you are doing so well! There’s nothing wrong with a healthy, yummy meal that’s a little over in calories….once in a while!
:bigsmile: Gayla: My mom use to make baked beans from scratch in a pressure cooker, and they were light. She would put Salt port and brown sugar, I think! That was a long time ago but they were very good!
:bigsmile: Beth: Just looked at the pictures of the storm!!! :noway: :noway: Wow! That park bench’s seat was almost covered! Hope everything dried out!
:bigsmile: Barb: How are you doing???? How’s the “bathroom bouncer?”
Got to get back to work. Have a blessed day everyone

Good Afternoon everyone, :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Jake is off on another trip related to his business :sad: :sad: so we got up at 5:00 so he could be picked up by the airport shuttle at 7:30. His plane doesn't leave until 1:30. This is a personal growth retreat and the participants are asked to leave their computers at home and turn off their cell phones while they are there so we won't be having the usual four or five phone conversations a day that we usually have.:sad:
The good thing for him is that the event is in Santa Barbara, California where the weather is a whole lot better than it is in NW Washington.
The good thing for me is that I can eat fruit, salads,veggies, hummus, protein shakes, and keep my calories down and have the house to myself to keep my exercise up.
I went to line dance this morning then came home and fixed a lovely lunch of salad, hard boiled egg, and veggies with hummus. Now the dogs want to go to the dog park.......but we won't go until I'm sure that Jake is safely on the plane. It's cold and windy but that won't keep us home.
:flowerforyou: Elli, we have big shoulders, so feel free to dump on us.
gotta go

Hi all - I don't know if you have to be a certain age to join, but I'd like to be part of your group. I'm 57 and hope that qualifies me
Nancy0 -
Hello Nancy, You are not too young, never. We have some your age here. I just happen to be the oldest one around. And welcome, tell us all about yourself. we are just homefolks. all one big family.We like to know what everyone is doing? Get to know their family and all of their animals. Welcome to the Seniors Golden Sneakers. Marie
:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
I took this quote from your profile for I need to learn that.
realized that I really don't need to eat everything at one time0 -

Welcome Nancy!!!:flowerforyou: The more the merrier!
BirdieM:bigsmile:0 -
:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou:
Welcome, Nancy
It's great to have you here with us. I hope you'll check in with us every day and share your success and your challenges. This is a great place to share what's going on. We are all on the same journey and want to be there for each other.
:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: The girls and I just got back from the dog park. The wind wasn't as strong as it has been, but it was cold (in the low 40's) and after 20 minutes all three of us were ready to come home.
:flowerforyou: Jake called when he boarded the plane. He may call when he lands, but once he gets to the site of the event, he's supposed to shut off his cell phone. We modern people are so spoiled :laugh: :laugh: I'm old enough to remember when there was none of this phoning all the time and people went away for a few days and nobody heard from them until they got home again.
:flowerforyou: with line dance, dog park, and the exercise bike I was able to treat myself to a Wasa cracker with peanut butter......yum yum........if I do two miles with Leslie Sansone, I'll have another treat.
:flowerforyou: Birdie, what's really wrong with the yummy meal I had yesterday is that when I drove by that restaurant on the way to line dance, I started fantasizing about going back again today for more :laugh:
Barbie0 -
thanks - i'm 57 years old, work in civil/criminal law with my daughter, who is 23. My son, who will turn 21, is now just thinking of going to college - OK!! I'm born and raised New Yawk but moved to Colorado about 30 years ago and while having the opportunity to live in just about every state, this is where I will always want to live because the weather is perfect all year long. I love change so the little snow we get is good. I don't own a car but do have motorcycles in the garage - some women have to have shoes or purses; go figure!! Harley Fatboy, BMW K1200 LT (or the beast as they call it - the biggest one they make) and my run around town: Yamaha VStar Classic.
I've got about 30 pounds to lose and thought I would share the journey this time, so here I am.
Nancy0 -
A very quick hello to you all. I can't begin to catch up but do want to welcome Nancy to the group. You will find all the support in the world right here, a wonderful bunch of men and women. I had a brain draining day at the conference, it was excellent and has already given me a few ideas for my work. I am looking forward to the next two days. I went to bed early last night and will do so again tonight.
I almost forgot to tell you that we continue to enjoy above normal temperatures and are enjoying mid 40's F. I, too, love where I live and wouldn't want to live anywhere else. I love to travel but when I get back to this flat prairie land something inside tells me I am home. Yes, you are free to remind me of that statement in January when I am whining about 40 below!! That said, I do look forward to a break in the winter with our Feb. holiday!
I have read your posts and am thinking of you all. I will respond on the weekend. Very soon I should really be finished work and will write a better post!!
Take care and keep smiling. Gayla0
