Good day to all! Well, my trip is booked! I'm taking my niece to Savannah, GA! I have wanted to go there for 30+ years (after reading a book set there) and I want to take her on some trips, so she and I are doing a girl's trip there. Those of you who have been there or know anything about it, please chime in on the do not…

Rita-I think it would be fun for you to choose who would be which character based on what you know about us...all in fun of course. :-) Tina in CA

Beth-I agree with you on the kids. My friend works at an elementary school and she said they cannot touch the kids, even to gently guide them in the correct direction (which is sometimes needed with little ones) or even raise their voices at the kids. The kids just run all over the adults. I could not do her job. Tina in CA

I'm told that your kids are always your kids, no matter how old they get. It's the same with siblings...probably more so with sisters. I will always be my older sisters' little sis and my younger ones will always be just that. I want to protect them like she wants to protect me. So even if you're 61, you're still her…

We do not have stairs, by design. Since I work from home, I have to go somewhere to do it and if I'm going to go somewhere, I'm going to walk and/or run.

He tested negative for COVID twice. In order to get tested for RSV, he has to go to the doc, but they will tell him to wait it out anyway, so what's the point. Same with the flu. He's been sleeping really late, so hopefully that will help. If his lungs don't improve, he will go get an x-ray. Tina in CA

I really like the way my legs used to look, especially when I wore dresses. There is really no reason I cannot get them (and the rest of me) back into shape. Tina in CA

It's no one's business to decide if someone else's life is adequate or not. That is such an individual choice. I have learned to not care about anyone's opinions on my life. It's mine. I don't judge theirs. I decided, perhaps stupidly, to start doing P90X workouts on my legs again. The only time I really got definition in…

Thank you! I thought that was likely it, but wanted to make sure before I make that much chicken! Tina in CA

I have a question for Ginny or those who have made her Crockpot Balsamic Chicken. Is the chicken bone-in, skin-on? It just says "full chicken breasts." Barbara-Thanks for the update on Katla. Lisa-I'm so glad to hear you may get some significant relief soon. I know nothing about Skyrizi, but I'm keeping my fingers crossed…

Michele-Yes, I'm serious about looking for a job at the zoo. I did look the other day and there is one that might be interesting for me. What I don't like is that even for part time jobs, they require union dues. I'll think on that a bit more and keep looking. If not there, then I'll peruse other options. Tina in CA

Carol-So sorry for your loss. Beth-Sending hugs. Michele-Ouch on the hip! Hope you feel better soon. Eclipse is beginning now. It's getting darker. We get 55% eclipse. I'm more focused on not looking at the sun. It's like "don't touch your face" during COVID. Now, all I want to do is look at the sun. Tina in CA

Sue-Great news on the tenant. It may be a mess, but she's gone! Heather-Your routine sounds inconvenient, but it's good that you're doing it. You still need to keep active somehow. A former colleague got hip replacements and he said it was the best thing he did for himself. A friend recently had knee replacements and she…
-
Rita-Glad you're on the mend. Same to you Margaret. Barbie-Great photo! Lisa-Sending happy gut vibes your way! Barbara-I also miss Karen in VA. Hope she's doing well! Heather-I love the idea of Edie and Max discussing cheese. That's brilliant. Cheese is also a great topic. :wink: I don't get the whoop-ti-do over the…

I like bamboo or laminate. We put laminate in our first house and I loved it then and I still do. I have a friend with bamboo and it looks gorgeous and I suspect the care is similar to laminate. I'd avoid hardwood because it scratches. I like the look of tile, but unless the grout is dark, it'll look grungy soon. Tina in CA

So many feelings. Virtual hugs to many of you: April, Pip, Annie, Michele, Rori, Rita, Tracy, Allie, Ginny, anyone I forgot. Evie-Cute cake! Well done! Annie-Hang in there. You’ve got this! Carol-Beautiful grandchildren! What gorgeous hair on that boy! I’m envious. Allie-I always love seeing the photos of Miles. Debbie-I…

I hope you feel better soon. I think we're all worried about you. You haven't seemed to have a lot of good days lately. Tina in CA

One good thing about living where I do is that within 2 hours in a car, I can be in the high mountains, high desert, low desert, low mountains, or green valleys. 20 minutes in the car, I can be at the ocean.

Desert wildflowers. Honestly, pictures don't even come close to capturing these. Tina in CA
-
Rita-Wow. What a scare! I hope you’re better and can get someone else to check out for something they may have missed. I had no idea anxiety could do that. Heather-Hopefully you can get some answers soon. Sorry you have to cancel the cruise, but you wouldn’t enjoy it much if you were in so much pain anyway. Machka-I…
-
Sue-Wow. SMH. What a painful experience for you and your DD. I hope it gets better soon. I’m also sure the police know what they are dealing with when it comes to her. Machka-That rash looks very unpleasant. I hesitate to guess what it is because rashes could be one of a million things. Hope you get it figured out soon!…

So sorry for your loss.

Rosemarie-Gorgeous flowers. I love looking at them, but they sure mess with my allergies. Rori-Nice to see you pop in. I remember skiing in CO during spring break, which was always in March. Heather-Bea’s dress is beautiful and she looks great in that color! You and John are gifts to those children. Annie-Congrats on the…

Hi Ladies, I’m very far behind. I was on a little trip. A niece got married and then I went to visit some friends for a few days in Galveston, TX. I hadn’t been there for many years and remembered very little about it. We did some kayaking and they rented a boat and we cruised around the bay for a day. Then we toured a…

Thanks to all for the comments on your ovens/ranges. I'm not sure if I'm excited about a new one or scared it's going to need constant fixing! The mister bought a brand new pair of not cheap shoes last week, wore them once and the sole came off. It's a reputable company, so they just shipped him a new pair, but that is…

Thanks Carol. I'm surprised about Maytag. Those have had a good reputation for my lifetime. Tina in CA
-
Beth-Thank you. I am researching the GE Profile after this and Barbara's Consumer Reports info. I also have issues when I try to use electric. I'm a great cook at home with my stuff on my stove, but when I try to cook at others' homes, I can't seem to make anything taste good. I currently have a convection feature, but…
-
Lisa, Debbie, Annie, Barbie, Michele - Thank you so much for the feedback on the ovens. It’s all very helpful information! If anyone else still wants to chime in, please do. More information is better! Barbara-Thanks for that info on the stoves and Consumer Reports info. Yes, CA is in the process of banning the sale of gas…

I have a question for the cooks and bakers (and anyone else who has an opinion on the topic)! I am getting a new oven/range. Mine is very old and like most things of the sort, the newer models probably have a lot of handy bells and whistles that I'm not aware of. What do you all love and/or hate about your oven/ranges?…

Allie-I love these photos. Tina in CA
