YEAH!!!!! It's raining!

Joyce - I know you "misspoke" when you said a white kitchen. After seeing Mary's comment it brought to mind that I used to tease DH that he would put a commode in the living room to make it "convenient" to potty during a tv football game! He likes to keep items on counter tops rather than in drawers and cabinets "to make…

Good day, friends - Been scanning through and trying to keep up with you. Not posting much but my thoughts are with you. Pip - I am loving the holiday pictures! You keep me smiling. Lenora - Thank you for the beautiful poem. Allie and Rita - so sorry for your situations. Praying you receive clarity and peace. It finally…

Michelle - so sorry about your holiday situation. We've had some in the past, too. Luckily my DS's in-laws include us in thanksgiving and Christmas meals. Of course we never see my Hubby's DS and family though they live closest to us. I know it is hard but try to let go of what you can't control. I am feeling your sorrow.

Thanksgiving Greetings, ladies - We had a nice dinner with family. Only had to take a vegetable casserole. Came home without leftovers so not too much damage done. Sherry - so sorry about you situation. I hope the new park is a perfect home for you and Missy. Margaret - Happy Birthday! Mary - enjoyed the cartoons! Beth -…

Hi all! Loving all the pictures, posters, and posts! Heather - happy anniversary! Gloria - congrats on the new job! Quiet day here. Enjoying Shirley the cat in my lap and the cloudy sky. Does that mean it will rain? Hope so. It's been about 2 months without measurable rain in middle Tennessee. TNToni looking for raindrops…

Scanning through 182 posts this evening! Whew! You would think I would learn not to get behind after doing this a time or two. Janet - Did you wave when you came to town? I thought I saw your smiling face. Are the turkeys at the park pets or will they be Thanksgiving dinner? Mary - Love the picture of the snow Others -…

Michelle - meant to send you a hug about your Y closing. Been there, done that! It is so disappointing. TNToni

Carey - so glad you got to your tai chi class. Lisa - the light's at the end if you hat tunnel. Woowhoo! For part-time! Barbie - so sorry to hear about Brandy Heather - good progress! Hubby had the day off so we had lunch out and did some shopping for Christmas charity project. Got my door, held my hand, and insisted on…

Hi all! This is the 4th time i've tried to post this. First 3 times were on my phone. Now i'm home and can do it on the computer so hopefully I won't use it this time! So many of us seemed stressed and upset by so many different circumstances. Let's do a big group hug. Ready? 1-2-3 ((((((((((HUG)))))))))) That made me feel…

Welcome new friends! Joyce - what an honor for your DGD. Heather - your Christmas cake sounds wonderful. Very busy today. We had our TOPS meeting. I did a program on Mung beans. Lost 3.6 pounds! Yeah! Our study group met at 2:00 at my home. We're studying about forensic crime scene investigation. Interesting.... Had a…

Good evening, ladies! Feeling thankful for my part time job. I helped some of the sweetest people at the Y today. Katla - thinking of you and your "blues". Lisa - way to go! Mary - how is your shoulder today? Newbies - WELCOME! Pip - Go,go,go! Heather - lovely home! Glad you had a good trip. Trouble sleeping last night.…

Good morning, ladies- Really enjoying the pictures y'all are sharing. Happy birthday, Janet! I'm having a quiet morning but should get to work on somethings around the house. Mmmmmaybe I will in another 30 minutes. Ah, retirement..... Toni

Just a quick post after getting 5 pages behind..... Welcome to all the new friends- This is a great place to be! LOVE all of the pictures! Thanks so much for posting them. Heather - wonderful news about the house! Juanita - great news about the job offer. Mary - Happy Birthday! I'm home from my sister's and settling back…

Carey - so sorry about your eye problems. Lisa - big step for your hubby. Had a great Halloween dinner with sister and her family last night. Sis and I did a spooky cake and decorated the bowl of guacamole to look like a scarecrow face. Her 9 year old grandson decorated the deviled eggs. Don't know how to post pics or I'd…

Heather- happy to hear Johnny is still a part of the family. The stories of him must have been wonderful for your boys.

Happy birthday, Katie! Somehow I missed that yesterday. Toni

Margaret - lovely tribute to your mom. Mary - healing prayers are sent your way Out to lunch with sister and met some of her retired friends. Very nice time. I get tickled at how these small town folks fuss about their traffic. When they stop at a cross street they never like a wait for traffic to pass. They should visit…

Visiting my sister for a week. Got in yesterday, barely making my connection at O'Hara - never flown through there before, always go through Dallas. Counted the long fast walk as deliberate exercise, something I've not been doing for about 2 months. Doing well with food choices. Having a nice visit with big sis. Keeping up…

Welcome, welcome newbies and welcome back Rita. Margaret and Allie - you are in my prayers. Peach - love the story about the kitty. Liz - prayers for the best outcome for you. Barbie and Glo - your poster and words... Yes forgiving lifts us up. It's a process. Today is my birthday. I had to work but it was a very nice day.…

Hubby's doc says no surgery. He feels less drastic approach is appropriate for now. Thank goodness he wasn't just looking for a patient to "practice medicine" on. Rori - I love the picture of Mars. I remembered someone had a leash loving cat but had forgotten who. I am a big cat lover. I think it would be fun to have one…

Hello everyone, I am keeping up with your posts by "checking in" twice a day. Yeah! Having some major frustrations with hubby who is pushing doctors to do back surgery so he can enjoy walking for exercise again. His back pain is intermittent and I really don't see him suffering. He is able to go to work and do day to day…

Really enjoying the pictures y'all are posting. Had a tiring weekend working double shifts on Friday and Saturday plus my usual Sunday shift. My study group met today. We started a new study on Forensic Science/Crime scene investigation. Think it is going to be interesting and informative. Nice change for us as we usually…

Better late than never for a post--- Thinking of all of you in the storm's path. Hope when all is said and done you're not too soggy or windblown..... Barbie - Keep on truckin'. It sounds like you are being very patient during your recovery. Heather - love your creation for Bea! It is Bea-utiful! It sounds like your…

Hello ladies, We are having a cloudy day today but wish it would bring rain. We have had so little for 2 months. It is dry, dry, dry! Would those of you in the northwest like to share? Hope the storms are not too destructive. Sending prayers your way. Gloria - prayers for you. It sounds like you are one strong lady.…

Vicki in NE my prayers are with you. Ladies, I so enjoy your posts. Have a good night. TNToin

I've been busy, busy, busy. Had a great time at our TOPS Fall Rally (annual regional meeting) Saturday. Worked Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. TOPS meeting this am, lunch with retired teacher friends, and hosted my study group this afternoon. We finished our study of Archeology. Next week we begin a study on Forensic…

Welcome, Joyce Ann This is a wonderful group. I am so sorry to hear of your loss. I'm sure it must be very difficult for you still. This is a wonderful group of women. I took a detour from them for more than a year due to depression and grief. I took stock of things and realized that I was tired of running from my feelings…

Hi ladies- I'm back from lunch with friends and getting ready for work. Gloria- I'm a retired elementary teacher. It is hard to believe that in this day and time the student has random words to memorize. For a number of years the push has been a developmental approach based first around phonics patterns and working toward…

Hi, everybody! Lillian -I want it to cool down and I look forward to fall and winter BUT I don't think I could handle snow in October. Are you one of the gals who is in TOPS? I've been gone for awhile and my memory's kinda wonky so it might be someone else. TOPS means a lot to me. I have continued as the leader of my group…
