Sorry to hear about Annie!! That is frightening!!! Hoping you found out something and praying it is not too serious. <3 Ed might be seeing Dorian before me depending on it's course. Prepping for Cat 4 is no joke. Prayers for people and animals in Florida. They are still rebuilding from the last few. Lots of animal rescues…

Hello All! Waiting for some dryer air coming! Yay! Though warm and humid, there is a feeling of fall coming...ever so slow. Watching Dorian with interest. Hate the destruction. We could use the rain. I just feel we are going to get two landfalls with this one..Spent the day reading and relaxing with a few chores…

I am right with the marvelous Monday. This is my rest day to recover from church, lol..We had what turned out to be a rather huge buffet type lunch for small group. Seems everyone wanted to cook. Never my finest hour for portion control, and we had a birthday cookie in addition to some other homemade desserts. We are all…

Hi All! I did not even realize there was a Downton Abbey exhibit! How interesting! Guess I need to google that!! Such a great show, I can not wait to see that too. It really struck chord with so many people! Val, you will catch up! Take some mini breaks as you can and eat healthy to cope with the stress! I keep thinking…

Hello!! Wow Irene..57 degrees. That sound so nice! when does it get too cold to swim? The water can feel really cold here when the air temp drops for fall. Ed your cats sound like a hoot! I would love to get one, but May's prey drive is a little strong..I would be afraid she would eat it! May looks around sometimes at…

Good morning! I am losing some of the weight I had regained and must say I feel better.I lost a pound so I am excited. Hopefully I can lose this more quickly and can get into some new territory. Seems everyone has heat problems! Ed, you will be getting into "one-derland" with just a few pounds. That is a big milestone!!…

Good morning all! Ed, we do not live too far apart and can remark about the same weather! I am about 25 miles north of Montgomery, Al. so we are sharing the same heat. We are done with the over 1000 degrees for the moment at least. We need rain badly. We are in a drought most places in the state. The leaves are falling and…

I am going to say good morning as you may be reading this on Weds.! Val, hope you are feeling a little better if medicated and was able to see the doctor. Hope work is not piling up and you get some sympathy there!! (hugs). Vix, Sounds like a wonderful day with favorite activities! Jo if I did all those things you did on…

Well gosh, we all seem to have an energy spurt whether large or small!! (Val, hopeful you just got some antibiotics!!). Even I, queen of slowness in the morning, was out to get to the mailbox early and send some cards. I still need to stop by the bank but I do not want to totally shock my system by doing too much too…

I must say, it sure sounds nice when when Irene and Vix talk about pool parties!! I miss having one. For a good while I had an above ground pool for the grandkids, and enjoyed it. I kept having smaller ones after my ex-husband left as I could not get it emptied and put up easily by myself. Finally that seemed too much.…

Wow, so strange to see a picture of Roger after all these years. He does rather look as I pictured though. Thank you for making it available, Party animal. Beans for 50..wow there too! Val, hope you feel better! Sinus infections are no fun, as you know unfortunately. Poor Oscar. That must have been a terrible night!! He is…

Back on limited carbs. I do feel better when I do that!! Val you are doing so great!! Keep it up!!! Vix, the days just fly, I am not sure why that is! Jo, your being so active is what is doing it, congratulations. NS is a good plan..Irene, I have to put a reminder up for my mid day pills ..I tend to forget those..So easy…

Hi! Just getting back to lessening my carbs except today. It was a fried seafood lunch day with key lime pie. Getting right back on to minimal carbs for Friday. I keep in the same 20 to 25 pound area, losing and gaining in a circle. Only Problem is I have about 100 to lose. On the bright side, it could be worse. Not a long…

Had an e-mail from Mike this afternoon. He said that the nurse who contacted him about Roger was with him and wanted Mike to know he was not alone when he passed.. He said Roger received very wonderful care. <3

Yep..needed the group hug! <3 One thing I realized, over the years he chatted more and more...really nice. Val, one of the first pages (MFP) was your dogs pictures and Em..she was so little! From 2015. Wish I remembered when we all started on NS site. Irene, sorry for your mites. We have them here too. Most people here…

RIP Roger Torre 8/12/2019 We miss you more than words can say.. <3 Cheers...

Roger had made these last few years so enjoyable for me. He was such a nice man. He was so understanding and persistent with his jokes and posts. What a hole he leaves in each our hearts. I think today I will just go back and read some old posts. I appreciated him so much. Poor Mike and family. I do not envy Mike living…

Good morning. Irene, congratulations on your BMI victory!! That is a pretty big deal!! On the other front, I hate Roger is in pain so prayers he can get that controlled. Val, I think deer is walking appetites! Always trying to get to garden goodies and just plain grazing! Definitely hard news there. :/ Hope your cold is a…

Hello! Yes, just miss Roger. No words. I received a nice note from Mike with the updates that you mentioned, Irene. It was kind of like "talking" with Roger. Same gentleness and tone. I make lists. Usually help if I remember to take them with me, lol... Those pesky squirrels! They steal my blueberries. I usually get like…

Good morning, Sorry for the news on Roger. Ards is not good...Sounds like not good news all the way around. My heart just goes out to Mike too. That tumor was just so large and intertwined. Too much time to not due damage. Hopefully his pain management is spot on. :/ Prayers for both.

Good day!! Irene, good for you reaching your goal weight!! That is such a remarkable accomplishment!!! I know it took a lot of discipline and hard work!! Vix, so wonderful you get to have your grandson to stay! Weddings are sure hard on all the details, but so so beautiful!! Enjoy!! Jo, hope your work days are going well!!…

I have been sending to Roger's house. I guess I will wait and see if he gets moved. Sounds like Roger might not be strong enough for rehab? I wonder if he still has the breathing tube..Someone may have posted and I have forgotten. I am not being humble, but at this church I am the" least of a servant!" (Other than those…

Hello! Busy week end with church. I got a little tied up cooking for someone else for guest lunch and serving. I was just plain tired. I visited my daughter's school room too as the kids start coming today. Wow!! 1000 pierogies!! I am so impressed- and want one Irene!!! :# Val, I hope your B-day was a nice one!!! You are…

Jo sorry that happened!! I find my camera not as useful as I had hoped. If it is the least bit sunny, I can not see it. Ican not see it with the prescription sunglasses either. My depth perception is really bad, and between all the mirrows showing different perceptions...I never feel too secure. My camera needs a little…

Morning!! Val, hope it slows down! What is going on with Duke? great A1C! Irene, Nice loss!! Nice of you to help give communion too!! Means so much! Jo, 3 days off!! Wow!! Enjoy!! Vix, hope you hear test results soon, and hope it is good news. Hope things settle down for you!! As long as I am sitting in the A/C it looks…

Good day!! Today is my day to get some meds filled. By then I may be pooped, lol. As a retired person where does my time go? Can not seem to use my time wisely! :# Excited about Roger's liver function being better! Slight improvements are great!! Keep those prayers coming!! <3 Hoping all news is good news this week. Take…

Hello!! Vix, sorry for the rash of weird things!! I joke all the time about a weird cloud over Prattville...weird things happen and I am next to it! My daughter lives there and agrees!! Sorry my little cloud migrated your way!! Must have known you were doing those wedding plans!! <3 Jo, someone sent me a picture of a horse…

Happy Birthday, Val!!!! <3

Vix, Sorry your hubby had to go back. Adding some prayers for him with Rogers! Rougher when you get older!! <3

Hello! Jo, funny on the blood "draw". You still have my respect for pricking a cat!!! We know how independent they are! :# Irene, so true about how long Roger has been there. Thanks for keeping in touch with Mike. Val, betting you are piled up coming back to work. Remember to take some "you" time! Vix, I still feel a…
