Hi gang! I've lurked every day but haven't posted for a few. It was an extremely busy week last week gearing up for our HUGE Christmas party Saturday night. We had somewhere between 35 and 40 people counting little kids. A great time was had by all even if it was crazy and crowded. Did I tell y'all the kidney stones are…

Hi all. I'm still here and have been reading your posts to stay caught up. It's turned into a busy week and I've got kidney stones again.... Or should,I say still. The ones on the other side that were there but not moving and causing pain have decided to move and cause pain. Carp! Lithotripsy surgery for Christmas again…

Patti and Karla, that's true determination to exercise when you're not feeling well.

Well, this must be the bunch for sick menfolk. Dave's been battling what he thought was allergies or sinus infection all week, but woke up very early with his throat very much worse. Enough so he's trying to get a doctor's appointment without any prodding from me, so he must be feeling really bad. Have a great days girls!…

Hi gang. Busy day here with car pickup from mechanic, Laci to the doc for follow up and teeth cleaning and a bunch of farm business. Step count 10,586. Go me! Tomorrow I have lunch with a cousin and hoe to get started wrapping some of this mountain of gifts.

Hi gang! Quick check in while I had the computer out after getting home and unloaded. I finished shopping for bedding, Christmas and bought some super-sale clothes for both Dave and myself. You should have seen the truck - I couldn't have fit another thing in that cab and it's even one with a back seat! I haven't been to…

Hi y'all from AR. It's been a busy time with my work buddies. Pretty much non-stop since I got here. I'll be heading home tomorrow after the conclusion of a 9:00 a.m. Meeting unless I get roped into something else before I get away. I'm happy to be mostly retired but do enjoy getting caught back up on things. Here are some…

Well, I didn't get to a meeting today to scope things out. We worked in the yard all morning and didn't even come in for lunch until 2:00. So, I'm no more knowledgeable, but I've got 10,000 steps to show for it. Karla, thanks for the info. I'm excited to see and hear about the changes. Patti, I have snowmen, too, but have…

Hi gang! No real news about the WW changes yet as they begin rolling out tomorrow and Saturday is my weigh-in day. Had a chat with my leader and the weigh-in gals today about trouble with site etc and the fact that you have all decided to leave. They urged me to hang in there and I assured them that was my intention since…

Hi gang! We got home yesterday evening late and it's been crazy busy getting the RV cleaned up, laundry done, mail gone through, etc. Cindy, to answer your question, "Tulip", as we call our RV is a 25' Winnebago View, a class C motor home. We drive her and don't drag a car. Most of the time, we just unplug and drive her…

Janet, you cracked me up with the Miss Universe quip! Talk about suffering to be beautiful..... Patti, the standard vegetable of the evening was Brussel sprouts that I wound dang near rather starve than eat, but I do like asparagus. Your asparagus tries sounds like me and broccoli- I've tried and tried and just can't like…

Indeed I do have a great man! Right now, in fact, he's cooking breakfast- grilled turkey sausage and a veggie omelet. The restaurant was fantastic! I had baked red snapper with Vera Cruz sauce, roasted potatoes and asparagus. They also served a fabulously delicious, crusty outside, and heavenly soft inside sourdough bread.…

Hi gang! This morning we poked around downtown Galveston for a few hours. We went to a movie about the great hurricane of 1900 - Dave and I really enjoyed that as we had recently read the book "Isaac's Storm" about that hurricane and Isaac Cline who was win the weather bureau in Galveston back then. We also indulged in a…

Karla, thanks for the update on Janet. She will truly be a brand new woman once all this surgery is behind her. I hope you and Glenn will both be feeling better soon. With your 3 options above, are you intending that we pick one or more or do all three? Janet, dear friend, rest, take care and recover - oh, and use the pain…

So how does this work? Can you guys see my reply or do I need to do some other steps to join the discussion?

Hi gang! Checking in from the beach in Galveston. It's windy and very chilly but we apparently escaped OKC at the right time. There's a raging ice storm both at home inOKC and at our lake place in south central OK. We're here until Thursday and have friends on the way who will join us for most of that time. We had a…
