Let’s try this again! Forgot to hit post reply🤦‍♀️ How is everyone doing? I’m hanging in there. No snow but we have warm days and then cold days. It’s been windy and when we have those cold days, that wind is nasty. The exercise has been slow. I’m still plugging away though. Hoping to get back to the Y also. I need to just…

Hello! Sorry I haven’t responded. I’ve been pretty busy. I’m still walking and we finally got rain which forced me to go on the treadmill and elliptical. Boy do I need cross training. The elliptical was tough. My calves really felt it. I need to make time for the Y. The weather here has been good. More rain now after being…

Thank you! They just call me grandma right now. I’m happy to hear that Sharon is doing well. I’m still walking but I’m like you, I need to get this weight off. My arthritis has been bad lately. I need to also do more than just that. These weeks have been busy. I need to make the time to go to the Y. It’s been dry here…

Gloria-it was nice to hear from you. I hope you’re safe from that hurricane. I still haven’t started back at the Y. My DIL had to be admitted into the hospital for her pregnancy. She had something called Previa Placenta. She was bleeding so they were watching her. It stopped but a few days later it started up again so they…

Our summer continues! We had a bit of cooling but now the heat and humidity is back. I’m not complaining, Those crisp fall days will be here before we know it. I’m still just walking. Had to do a little jogging a couple times due to thunder. My dog enjoyed that. Still a little slow for his liking. Lots going on here on the…

Ugh! I just made a post only I forgot to post it! I hope everyone is doing well. We are having the hottest days of summer right now. Feels like 110 today. I did just a 1 mile walk this morning with my dog. You just couldn’t breathe out there. Yesterday we didn’t get moving early enough so it was a rest day which I really…

Gloria-it was nice hearing from you. This summer has just gone by way too fast. Again, we didn’t do much. I’m trying to get motivated. Just isn’t there. My sugar addiction is awful. I’ll go a week of doing fine and then I get thrown off and I’m back to poor eating. It’s been a struggle. Thank goodness I’m walking daily.…

Hello! I hope everyone is doing well. We’ve finally got our summer. Temps are warm now. It’s been dryer too. I’m still walking. Tried jogging on the treadmill. Slow but it’s a start. It’s hard to believe summer is winding down. Won’t be long and school will be back in session. I hope you’ve been having a nice summer. Miss…

Good Morning! I hope everyone had a nice 4th of July. It was wet here so we didn’t do anything plus my DH worked at the store for a few hrs. My poor puppy didn’t do well with the fireworks at all. I’m going to have to get meds for her come hunting season. The flooding is getting better. Water is receding. Sadly it wasn’t a…

Good evening! Hot and humid day today. Our weather has been so up and down. Totally opposite of last year. So much flooding. Here we just have the Mississippi River. Sadly boats can’t get out and now there’s no camping. Sure won’t be a good 4th of July if this doesn’t get better. Should crest on Sunday but that’s all…

Good Morning! I can’t believe it is June already! We’ve had so much rain. Everything is overgrown. We still have things to get done but only having the weekends makes it tough especially when one of the days it’s raining. It’s also been windy. I’m about ready to give up on my projects for the summer. We’re putting in a…

Good afternoon! Gloria-we flew and then rented a car. I love going to Boston. Just wish we would’ve had more time to do things. NH was nice too. Weight gain stinks. I have been struggling too. Mine all started when I had to cut back on running. Then it became non existent. I hope you can figure things out. It’s not fun…

Good afternoon! I hope everyone is doing well. I had an ok weekend. Went to NH for a celebration of life for my niece. It was sad and nice. She had so many friends. Nice to see that. In her 49 years, she lived life to the fullest. Way too soon to die though. I got alot of walking in. Didn’t over eat but most of the food I…

Hello! Gloria-I’ve been hearing about the Cicada’s. We get them but only a few. Growing up I would hear the noise they make but I never knew what it was from. Not until I was older. Our weather has finally warmed up. We worked outside on Sunday and I had a little too much sun so this week hasn’t been great for being out in…

Hello! Life has had many ups and downs lately. Trying to keep focused on my health and exercise. It’s been a rainy Spring. Hard to get things done but it is so green here too. Leaves are now showing on the trees. Need to get to the lake to see if there are apple blossoms yet. It’s hard to believe in a few days it will be…

Good Morning! Gloria-I’m sorry you’re having a rough time. Pain and not sleeping is tough. I’ve tried so many different things to try and get me to sleep. I finally found that if I take a THC Gummie before bed, I sleep at least 5 hrs straight which is a lot for me. I maybe got 2-3 with melatonin plus I’d end up with a…

Good Morning! I hope everyone is doing well. Aside from the rain we’ve had the last few days, it’s felt like Spring again. Yard work done last weekend. Leaves are coming out on the trees now. Grass is green and flowers are coming up. Greenhouses are starting to open up. It feels really good! Aside from last week, I’ve been…

Happy 1st of April! We’ve got snow today mixed with rain. No snow accumulations though. Huge snowflakes. I hope everyone’s Easter was nice. Ours was but again I over ate. Sugar is not my friend! I’m having such a hard time breaking this habit. I can do so well and then just like that I blow it. I’m frustrated to say the…

Good Morning! The weather here has been great for the most part. We need rain but every time it’s in the forecast, it ends up missing us. We could use a nice steady rain to wash away all of the salt. We are expecting a cool down for a couple of days. Hard to know if you should throw on a winter jacket, light jacket,…

Gloria-Do you have people coming in to help her at all? My MIL got forgetful and ended up doubling all of her meds. My BIL also installed cameras in the main part of the house so they could monitor her since she was falling. She loves where she is right now. Sorry about your ankle. I’m glad you can still walk and run on it…

It’s finally March! Feeling more and more like Spring! 70’s today. It looks like we may have had a few sprinkles but the sun is out. I hope you did alright with your sprained ankle. That really stinks. Taking care of aging parents is tough especially when they aren’t close by. So far my MIL is doing well and even sent out…

Good Morning! I hope you’re having a great February! For me it feels more like March and sometimes April. We had a couple very cold days but yesterday started our nicer temps again. Unfortunately we have that nasty wind that will make it feel colder than it actually is. This week my DH is in FL with his mom. They finally…

Good Morning! We had near 60 degree temps! Now reality is back and we’ve got 30’s which still isn’t too bad. The worst part is the wind. That makes it colder. Except for snow piles from parking lots, etc being plowed, all of our snow is gone. Along with most winter activities in the area. Skiing is still happening thanks…

Good Morning! We are having Springlike weather and I love it! Aside from the big snow piles, most of our snow is gone. I have a feeling we will see snow again but until then I’m going to enjoy it. The cold really affected me this year too. More than in the past. My inflammation hasn’t been good either. I wish there was…

Happy Saturday! I hope everyone is doing well. We’re finally back to the above normal temps again. It’s amazing how much of a difference it makes. That 1 and 1/2 weeks of no outdoor walking really was tough. Then to start it up again it felt like we hadn’t walked forever. Plus I had to throw on boots which aren’t broken in…

Good Morning! The Arctic air hit us along with snow and then a cold! I haven’t walked outside in a week. I can’t really say it’s a cold I have. Whatever it is it’s being made worse by the dryness inside. The air is so dry inside and out. Only a few more days of this and then we’ll be back to above normal temps. I’ve used…

Good Morning! We got our first snowfall of 2024 yesterday. We had no idea what to expect. Luckily we had maybe 2 inches. Right now the temps are considered above normal. That’s going to change come Friday thru early next week when temps should drop to below normal. So much for the 40’s and 50’s for now. I’ve been able to…

Good Morning! Gloria-so glad you made it home safe. That sounds very scary and so sad that so much was lost. Way to go on the running! It sounds like things are going well. I hope it continues for you. I can’t believe that tomorrow starts a new year. Christmas was nice for the most part. I did break down a couple of times.…

Merry Christmas! I hope everyone had a nice holiday. Although cloudy and at times rainy, it was nice here. Couldn’t beat the 50 plus degree days. It’s cooled down today and the rest of the week will be cooler but that’s ok. No snow! Since my hip replacement I’m ok with not having the snow. It means I can continue to…

Gloria-I hope you’re ok and weren’t in the path of the tornados today.
