Carol - M, also 77 (or close) told me at lunch yesterday she'd made a big boo-boo. She made an appointment at Costco, 25 miles away, to get fitted for hearing aids. The appointment was for today, but she wrote it on the wrong calendar, so they braved big city traffic last Friday and arrived only to be told to come back in…

Lisa - The new frames are neat! So glad they widen your field of vision, which is so important. Also good to hear the Skyrizi is doing the job for you. I just looked at your ten day forecast. Ack! Is this typical July weather for you or is the furnace really stoked this year? Rebecca - sorry about the oopsie with your…

Rebecca - adorable haircut. It's perfect for you - shows off that natural wave. 😉 Carol - your son's family will sure miss their pup. What breed/s was it? Rori - good job brushing up on your French. I wonder if residents of big cities are normally fluent in several languages so if a person gets brain freeze and switches to…

Barbara - Joe's comment "don't go all crazy" (Liz Taylor visitors coming) made me chuckle. DH used to say "don't worry. It's not like the queen is coming." Rita - so glad to hear you are feeling better. Heather - I had wondered if you ever got your French and Spanish mixed up — reaching for a French word and the Spanish…

Margaret - those peonies did really well in your fridge. Did they keep their scent? Allie - Delia is growing so fast and SMiles is now a young boy - doesn't seem like a child anymore. WOW! I barely recognize him. Thanks for sharing the pix. I feel like they are "our" grandkids like Heather's, Carol's, Lisa's, Tracey's,…

Ginny - glad you could pop in. Good news on the MRI. Very excited for about your new place, sounds very nice. Rebecca - great looking little car! Are you planning to drive it right away? I remember you hadn't driven your old one in a while. Lisa - nice job keeping up with the shoulder PT exercises. Don't think I'd survive…

Heather - I thought about you and your French Circle yesterday when I came across a French film with subtitles. Even with three years of French in high school (yes, well over 50 years ago but still) I could not understand a word. If they would have said "where is the library" or "close the window" in French I would have…

Rita - yes, I think it's true about the allergy meds not working after a while. Dr. Lisa said the same thing with Al-legra kicking it up a notch, though there's a chance I can get back on Zyr-tec if needed. A couple days ago I took a 12 hour Walgreen's nasal decongestant - D which worked well but kept me awake. I took it…

Tracey - what a nice photo of you and Rodger. Sounds like you had another great day yesterday - I would have been mesmerized by the skydiving. Any kind of airshow, really. The skill and training is admirable. Sorry to hear about Brody's prospective best man's accident. He died doing what he loved. Rebecca - Using a teddy…

Good morning ladies! Mo - good luck to your DH with the job interview. Sounds like he's seriously in the running. Sorry to hear about your son's disappointment with the internship. Like most of the things we encounter in life, it's a learning experience. I found that no matter how much I research and plan, I still don't…

Ladies- I sent two posts this afternoon that haven't appeared here yet and caught a little message that they had to be approved. Perhaps the posts got kicked out because I mentioned a prescription anti-inflammatory Dr. Lisa put me on this morning by name. Also some new allergy meds. They were long so maybe you've been…

Flea - where did buy this? Online or at a store? Looks interesting!😉 Lanette

Lisa - (granny square queen😁) - your front yard looks great, so clean and tidy. Makes a big difference and what a nice feeling of satisfaction when you look toward the road now. Interesting article! Pip - Happy Birthday to Kirby! That ice house must be nice relief when the weather gets hot. So nice to see Yogi there with…

Margaret - I often take Quercetin, and did for long periods of time while the pandemic was at its heights because of the immune system boost. That and zinc. I now take supplements with a fair amount of quercetin in them, and haven't noticed any anything detrimental in my labs. Dr. Lisa is aware of the supplements I take…

Lisa - that granny square pillow is stunning. How long did it take to whip that up? Pip - looks like a great time, what a beautiful place! Tracey - your story about bringing things from NB reminds me I still have boxes my sis sent me from Indiana when she cleaned out our parents house after they died. I looked at them a…

Barbie - good job cleaning the filters. 😉 I have a friend who says YouTube has prevented him from committing "wrench rage" when he's working on his car. 😁 Annie - so excited for you that your rowing machine has arrived. 😉 Allie - have fun! Sorry your mini I-pad took off. Sad to hear about Tom's uncle. Sure makes us realize…

Barbie - I think it's a great idea to get the serviceman out to clean those filters and and you can watch him while he does it. I faced a similar dilemma after DH passed, I knew something had to be done had to be done with the HVAC. The serviceman gave me a little tutorial and said why not just get disposable filters,…

Rita - yes, Class C camper sounds even better. Bathroom, kitchen, sleeping quarters. Room for a dog or two. Maybe chickens, lol. 😁 Hope your DH is doing better. Terri - I love that poem! Thank you for sharing it. Barbie - my next door neighbor's daughter keeps insisting he sell everything and go move next to her. She lives…

Happy Birthday Beth! Lunch someplace with ambiance fits the bill perfectly. Your new mattress sounds perfect for you. How does your DH like it? Did you end up getting 2 twin mattresses? Annie - I'm excited about your rowing machine. Hope you like it. There's an older gal in my neighbor who uses one of those as her only…

Good afternoon ladies! Happy 4th/Independence day if celebrating. Heather - glad he got the washer problem figured out. I always get nervous when the repairmen start examining parts. Sounds like you have a busy day coming up tomorrow. Margaret - glad the power wasn't interrupted and the problem is taken care of. Glad you…

Carla - I'm sure there is a sense of peace now that your dear friend Sherri is no longer ill and suffering. A great way to look at it. I know you'll miss her a lot (((HUGS))). Heather - did you check in the appliance book or on YouTube to see what the E10 error message was? Sometimes just unplugging it resets a computer.…

I give NO personal details other than things like "my grandfather's name was _______, he was born in ____ Indiana, what can you find out his ancestors?" Instead of spending time searching in Google and wading through their ads, the info comes back instantly, with references and websites for more information. Or "I just ran…

Lisa - awesome afghan! You are on fire. I really like the way the border/inner lines switch at each half. Hope you are feeling well after your injection today. Crossing fingers Kelsey's week with her bio dad turns out OK. Flea! Happy Dance!!! Thanks for letting us know, that made my day. 😁 Heather - I think it was Ginny…

Heather - my heart goes out to your DSIL. I hope therapy is able to give her some peace and comfort through everything she's dealing with. Hope they can arrange a visit. Annie - good job on the stair climbing and time spent on the bike. You are getting back in the groove! Glad to hear your sis will be coming this month.…

Good morning ladies! Barbie - thank you for rolling us into July. Wow, the year is half over. Allie - You looked fabulous and healthy in that photo of you and your 2 friends at brunch. What a cute outfit and beautiful venue. Are you sure you aren't really 55 instead of 65?😁 Lisa - how is Corey's garden doing? I would…
