Hello all!! I received an email too from Mike. Sending prayers his way also. Seems to be a bit more frail lately!! I wish I had time to check in more here! I seem to be just slower and slower!! I hope everyone stays warm and safe. Such waves of different weather seems hard for all. Tornado came over my house location last…

Hi!! Just read a page or two to catch up!! Sounds like everyone is doing well despite covid and complications. It makes everything seem more complicated and time consuming for sure!! I was writing to see if anyone kept up with Mike, Roger's brother. He has not posted or answered in too long and I know he seemed to be…

This gives me so much hope and inspiration. I so identify with it being an addiction. People who are not under that terrible pull just have no idea what it is. I am just amazed at the transformation! I can hardly imagine the will you strengthened and the pain you worked through. And the patience it took. You will help so…

Hi Dawn!! I am exactly the same way. I live by myself too except for one spoiled dog!! Love your enthusiasm!!! I find popcorn a blessing if I have hungry moments! Air popped. I had to wean away from the microwave kind!! :#

Hi!!! Usually the cold weather makes me want to eat. I have been having home made soups for supper, and that is working. Plenty of protein and vegetables. (the non starchy kind). This has been good for this week! I liked your idea of clearing out space, Kayleigh!

Hi !! Not the best choices, but under my calories by a little!! Happy Valentine's Day!!

Hi!! My name is Jan. I am 67 years old. I guess I am a bit older than you all, but I have the same goal!! Lose 100 lbs.!! I have done it once--so it is possible!! <3 I really need to work on portion control!! Hope you are all staying as safe as possible these days!! It can sure lead to comfort eating!! Maybe we can find a…

Hello!! Sounds like you all are mostly doing well! Irene, sorry you have not felt well. <3 Ed, your pasta and bread sound so good. I have been trying hard to cut my carbs as I have been a little too happy to indulge lately. Jo, hope you get vaccinated soon! I waited before I was ever tested, so I guess I will wait till I…

Good morning! Sounds like everyone is well. I have really cut down on my computer links and phone links this week. So much more pleasant. I had a tooth removed on Monday, but all went fairly well. I have a really deep seated fear of the dentist. They were very sweet and kind. Something I value quite a bit. Jo, I hope your…

Hello. Cold, wet, windy and breezy. It feels much colder than 44 degrees at the moment. Perfect indoor closet cleaning day and baking day. I made old fashioned molasses bars. Fun memory from when I was a child. Eku, sorry I was so apparently unclear. I meant whether you had voted Dem. or Rep.- it was all disgraceful and so…

Wow...just all I can think of today. :( No matter what side, the level of anger and rudeness and crudeness is terrible. We are becoming a terrible society with a downward spiral for years. Take care and do a kindness for someone this week! <3

Good morning!! Jo, I just love your attitude! Never Have I ever said the words I am ready to go back to work!! :D I am glad your daughter is going to get her vaccine. Some of the nurses down here are not taking it. I am surprised at that. Hopefully most will. Grocery workers and truck drivers are certainly heroes in my…

Hi!! Sunny day. Chilly start at 34 degrees but should warm into the 60's. Yard cleaning up and house cleaning up. I have put most decorations up, except my tree. I just love the lights..so it is staying up a few more days!! Working on my 2021 calendar. So far, so good with 2021, lol.... Vaccines rolling out slowly. Doing…

Hello! Sounds like everyone had a relaxing day! Happy New Year!! (late) And every Day after!! About 4 fireworks for 2 days...so nice and quiet. I watched movies and had Chinese on the Eve, and being Northern Ohio with eating cabbage as my greens. I am so lazy I made deconstructed cabbage rolls in my crock pot. (pork, rice,…

Hello!! Sounds like a wonderful Christmas in spite of weather and distancing. My weather is pretty much like Ed's but no icy roadways for the most part, except N. Bama country. Cool today, and tired of below freezing temps at nite. I would make a lousy Northerner again! :) Ed, all your food just looked delicious! I will…

Hello!! Chilly here as well!! Ed has my weather so here we are. Storms for Christmas Eve and possible snow flakes for parts of Al. for Christmas. Unless it changes, of course!! Ed, so sorry about your friend. I sure miss Roger too. ( sigh)...All your pictures have got me hungry. Love your ornament also!! Vix, love your new…

Hello! Well, it is crazy windy here and cold and damp. The front moved thru last nite with a midnight temperature of 63 degrees, and the morning low of 35. Freeze perhaps tonite and an EF-0 tornado south of Birmingham during storms last nite. My aerobic exercise consists of covering plants and uncovering plants. And…

Hello!! I need to run and get my drivers license renewed. So many things, all at the same time...I just hate that!! Chili looked wonderful Ed! I am making some tonite!! We are in the same cold spell...and I do need some comfort, lol!! I had gotten a message from Mike also, but I had expected his email address to change…

Hello!! I feel like I dropped off the face of the earth here!! Everyone's preparations for Thanksgiving sounded wonderful. I am glad everything seem to go smoothly. Irene, glad Sammie is doing well. Ed, your plate looked good!! I especially love peas, so that looked even better!! I enjoyed the advent calendars you will…

Happy Birthday, Irene!! Hope you have a wonderful day!! Love your new picture Vix!! Take care all!! <3

Good Morning!! Ed, so sorry about your friend!! How terrible the person responsible would leave the accident. I do not have a phone number for Mike, I do not think. I guess I will drop a line by snail mail!!I Have a rough time keeping up with all this technology!! I thought it was supposed to make life simpler!! :# Irene,…

P.S. I meant to ask, are you all getting Mike's emails? It may just be me catching up, but it seems I have not heard from him the last few days...might be me and my disorganized self and my old timer's memory... :#

Hello all !! I have been working outside about 4 hours a day, think field hand... cleaning up after Zeta still and trying to get ready for fall. It seems rather hard, as we have 80 and 60 degree weather alternating. Chilly mornings with some upper 30's and some brutal breezes...well wind really! I have 5 piles of broken…

Voting day already! Lucky my place is small. Never any waiting. Glad I am not where the violence my be. Luckily, the tree can lay where it is. Makes a good habitat!! I will pass good wishes to Val! Stay safe!! <3

Good morning!! Finally getting caught up here! Ed, your food looked so delicious! Irene, your puppy is sure growing!! I think you are over the hard part with the toilet training accomplished!! Jo, Happy belated Birthday! Envious of your walks and fall colors! Vix, sounds like great fun with your family!! I am so confused…

Hi!! Rainy, but nice day! I had 5 inches of rain with an occasional rain band remnant coming thru. The wedding was beautiful. 3 of us wore masks.. the other 99 did not. Part of the venue was outside, and I did not mingle as much. My back ordeal kind of put a kink in it for me and mine. Oh well. Still great! . My lawn guy…

Hello all! Glad to get caught up with you all!! Jo, hope you are not too sore from the fall. I have done that too! I must agree, we do not bounce like we did years ago! Envious of those great walks!! Today is my friend's daughter's wedding. It is in an old barn venue and of course, at the moment we have a bit of a steady…

Hello All! It has been a busy week and with my back and hip, very slow movement anywhere. I had to make three trips to the AFB to get my meds and refills. Lots of standing in line. They are stream lining it so you can activate what you need without being there in person. That saves a trip. Still a long process. But very…

Hello!! Glad everyone is doing well. Vix, hope your daughter had a great B-day. I never feel so old as when I realize how old my kids and grandkids are!! :# Nice weather here though more muggy. Nites are still cooler at 60 and upper 50's. We are supposed to have a "cold front" next week with highs in the 50's. I hope so!!…

Hello!! Well, I had over 10 inches of rain from Sally. Rain gauge ran over and I forgot to dump it to get an accurate reading because of the overflow. I also lost a 20 foot, 16 year old tree I grew from a berry from a place I used to walk track. Sentimental value. I still have one as I planted another by it. Could be…
