*** December 23 *** Good morning all~~ Maureen - I finally got the furniture moved out of my NYC apartment and into the Chapel Hill house. Good for you for getting things in order. Sara - Good for you on maintaining! I know that that is a very wonderful thing. Not sure about caroling in my neighborhood, but I have been…

*** December 22 *** Hello everybody~ Missy - so glad to hear that you are half way through the program. You've been working hard. Enjoy the time off. When do your studies resume? Sandy - very smart of you to get out there early ahead of the crowds. Waves to Sara and Maureen and whoever pops by today 👋🏻 Lana 269.4 today

*** December 20 *** Good morning all~ Sandy - I'm glad that you got your sneakers. It's a purchase for your health!! Sara - Yum! Pot roast sounds wonderful. You've got me thinking.....I should dust off that recipe and make one too! Waves to all who stop by later on 🌴 Lana 272.2 today

*** December 19 *** Good morning all - just getting us started.... BBL Lana

*** December 17 *** Good morning all~~ I am up too early today, but I couldn't get back to sleep. 5 hours is NOT enough, but I'm up having some coffee.... Sandy - glad that you finished your tree~ 🎄 Sara - I hope that your weather gets warmer and you are not freezing! Well, the movers came yesterday, and in 30 minutes they…

*** December 15 *** Good morning all~~ Sandy - I hope that you enjoyed the Christmas bash! Sara - I didn't know about the wind! I hope that it didn't blow my sister across the Bay! 🤣 Good luck at work--continue to keep your head down, as you say. Big hugs 🤗 Today is flying day for me--going back home to NC. The movers did…

*** December 13 *** That's me ⬆️ looking at the scale today! Lana 271.8 Yikes!

Hey Y'all.... Just saying hello. I am tired. Sara - glad that you have your car back. Sandy - enjoy your seafood!!! Lana 269.0 still on this number, yet weighed on the NYC scale. Go figure!

*** December 11 *** Good morning all~~ It's another gloomy, rainy day on the East Coast, and I have to fly up to NYC today. Arghhhh.... Oh, Sandy - I feel your pain on that bedspread situation. A few years ago, I ordered 5 tops from some (Chinese it turns out) company that was using great photos and descriptions and then…

*** December 10 *** Good morning all~~ Boy, it is super-spooky-foggy here this morning. A perfect day for mystery! Lana 269.0 today

*** December 9 *** Good morning all~~ It's fun to hear about people decorating~ Missy - yes, there is a big blob of weather along the east coast. I hope that you and Sandy don't get too much snow.... just enough to look pretty for a while. Sandy - I can't believe that you've been having to deal with the jury duty stuff…

*** December 8 *** Happy Sunday everyone~ Just getting us started.... *⛱️ tossing spy novel onto favorite lounge chair for later 🌴 * Lana 269.6 today

*** December 7 *** Good morning all~~ Sandy - you've been busy! I understand about getting things done when you live alone.... As for Christmas - I have an artificial tree, and it is a permanent part of the living room decor. I put it up in 2008, and it's been up and lighted ever since. 🎄 I need to get out early today -…

*** December 5 *** Hello everybody 👋🏻 Today is grocery shopping day. Time to get a bunch of veggies and some chicken thighs. I've got some yard work to do, so that will be the exercise for the day. BBL Lana

*** December 4 *** Good morning all~~ I'm feeling melancholy today. I woke up realizing that I had a dream that someone was yelling at me and that everything was going wrong. The bad feelings have not left me. I'm trying positive self talk. Sara - wishing you as easy a time as is possible at the dentist tomorrow. Sandy -…

*** December 3 *** Good morning all~~ Just getting us started. BBL Lana 269.6 today

Aw Maureen! That is totally awful! As I remember it, you are a specialist teacher with special needs students. Is there any recourse for better conditions? Sometimes I fear that NC is a tad non-accommodating for special needs in some counties. I would think that things would be better around Charlotte. Sending hugs~ 🤗 Lana

*** December 2 *** Wishing us all a good Monday ✨ 💛 ✨ Hey Sandy - you've got me thinking about making a pot roast. I haven't done one since I had a DH in the house, which means 8 years. I don't have any counter-top cooker, so this will have to be in the dutch oven on the stovetop. I may dig out the Joy of Cooking book.....…

*** December 1 *** Wow - it is December! My mind is still in October really. Maureen - yes indeed, it certainly has gotten colder, especially at night going below freezing. Cold and dark too many hours of the day. I am grateful that NC has a short winter. Things start blooming again in February. Yay! Sandy - I hope that…

*** November 29 *** Good morning everybody ☀️ Sandy - I hope that you continue to get a little bit better every day~ Waving to Missy and Sara and Maureen and all who pop by today. * 🌴 here comes Philippé with another mug of my coffee ⛱️ * Lana 269.6 today

*** November 26 *** Good morning all~~ I am feeling like a chicken with no head - a retired chicken, so there's no actual running around. BBL Lana 268.0 scale has lost its mind

*** November 24 *** Good morning all~~ Sandy - what a nice time with your daughter 🩷 ! It's time to rustle up some breakfast - I am unusually hungry this morning.... BBL Lana 271.4 today

*** November 23 *** Oh boy~~ I thought that I posted this morning..... I got distracted. Sara - how are you doing? Maureen - are you saying that you wake up for the day at 2AM? What time to do you have to be working? I hope that you can get yourself un-jet-lagged to a normal time. You are currently living in Europe!! 🇫🇷 🇦🇹…

Thursday evening I just buzzed through all of the posts - so much news to read. Sara - I'm glad that you are OK. When it rains it pours. Gah! I have to go back and read everything..... Lana 270.0 today

*** November 19 *** Just getting us started. Not feeling great. I've had this cough and head cold for almost 2 weeks now. Ugh. Lana forgot to weigh 🤦🏼‍♀️

*** November 18 *** Hey there everyone~~ Maureen - congrats on the new car - may it bring you joy! Sandy - I applaud your walking, which is more than I'm able to do now - good for you! Missy - my goodness, you do have an awful lot going on now, especially with your Kiara 😢 Glad that you did that retreat weekend~ The news…

*** November 16 *** Happy Saturday everyone ~ I am grateful that the sun is out, that my cold is getting better, and that my right knee/leg is less painful. Wishing a good day for all y'all~ Lana 269.8 today

*** November 15 *** Good morning all~~ Sandy - good for you on enjoying your lunch the other day! We never know what our bodies will do. I like your idea about the banana - much easier. Sara - how is your father doing? I hope that he is at home now. Maureen - I understand about the struggle. 🤗 Hey Missy - how are you doing…

*** November 13 *** Hey Y'all~~ Just stopping through to say Hey. I still feel like dreck, but there is so much less coughing so I went out and about today. I frequent a small local social gathering spot. Usually all is chill and easy, but today one of the old timers really let loose with some dark venom personally against…

*** November 12 *** Good morning all~~ I have been knocked down with a very bad cold, so I've been MIA. Sara - How awful for your father! Just being in the hospital can cause brain fog and delirium--my father had that every time he had to be admitted. A broken elbow sounds very painful. I hope that he recovers quickly. 🤗…
