If I wasn't such a homebody, hermit, I would come to your nudie farm. 💖The season where the dangily bits don't fall off like Rolos is like a week though! I need a good long summer! 💖Rebecca

So our trip to Seattle airport was ok. I asked my son if he could drive our car there, to help out my husband. Well that backfired. My son is an awful driver. His van is a right-hand drive so he was very close to the outer edge of the road. He also has a lead foot, and tailgates! At one point a car passed us really…

Me too. My husband's strength amazes me every day.💖

Pip, ours was quite the gas guzzler! Now our Chevy spark, we used to tell the gas station clerks in Oregon, don't even leave, its like a seven gallon tank, so * clink* see she's done now.💖

When we went back to have all the staples out, they commented on how unnecessary 50% were. "They went hog wild with these staples didn't they", said the transplant doctor. We went to the dealership with our Chevy Sport Trac vehicle and left with the 30 ft RV. All the kids buckled in the seats with their eyes as big as…

KJ (Kelly, Long day indeed! You know there is a wing prepared in heaven for people like you.💖. That you can take in the negativities from your spouse, and sit drinking coffee and appreciate the world in all its splendour. You have the tools friend! You have skills gurl!💖. 💖Rebecca

Rho, my husband's transplant went really well, though he did a years worth of stents trying to stretch his plumbing to the livers plumbing. Ended up just main lining it to the intestines. That was in Feb 2018 and he's great. They had to repeat the same incision as his transplant, but he healed amazing! We moved in April…

Awe, well mine doesn't do much better. He chooses ravioli cans, Mac & cheese frozen meals, but he does eat a salad a couple of times a week. Today he ate chips, cheese and salsa as we watch the Rugby World Cup, and in a bit he'll heat up two of the lasagna squares. He is a snacker, but he picked some grapes out, so that's…

For 5 years that dang RV was are primary vehicle. Need milk, everyone get in the RV! Let's go out to dinner, everyone get in the RV!!!💖

Rho, every single day I am reminded of how fortunate I am. My eldest son and I have a close relationship. I was pretty protective, as he was growing up, with the bulk of his learned behaviors ( age 2-4 yrs old), happened in Japan. Protective meaning he was always at my side. My one fear was that he would get lost in a…

Shopping- I spent about $80 because we bought some cold medicine for husband, also some other ointments that cost about $12 combined. I planned for french dips last night, so the roast beef from the deli was $11. I decided on using up my frozen fish fillets by steaming them with spices, and either adding them on my udon…

Last night I used 4 of my ice cube chicken stock, a container of wild rice you microwave, 3 ozs of a precooked chicken, some frozen peas, 5 udon noodles broken up,and a splash of my Amy's shiitake mushroom dressing. Also water. Oh and a couple drops of sesame oil. It was glorious.👍 💖Rebecca

Me too!💖

Good for you, and your downsizing!!👍 We lived in a 950 sq ft apartment on the Oregon coast from Dec 2012-2018 then moved in with our eldest son at 2,983 sq ft home. I like that there is space between items, nothing is scrunched. I can see us living here until we can no longer climb the stairs. We used to have an RV, but…

Today at the gym, it was a struggle! My stomach muscles are sore indeed. I talked with two older ladies yesterday at the gym, and we all complained about how sore we all were. I told them I do feel more stronger, my body seems to carry itself better. I have to realize that I am pushing my body, and its going to rebel abit.…

Lanette, you are very empathetic towards the issues with your dear husband. By not nagged and just "planting seeds" of suggestion, you empower him. He makes his own decisions and that means so much to the men in our lives. Its hard for them to feel manly, and contributing to the marriage when they are told to do this or…

Karen in Virginia, pup tent ideals yes! I have done that in my kitchen drawers. Got rid of duplicates of things, and now have a favorite (there's only one so it has to be my favorite), spatula! 💖Rebecca

Well yesterday I watched a show about minimalistic approach to living. I sold my rug that was under our dining room table, for $20. And I have other doodads up for sale too. If it serves no purpose, then out it goes. The rug was just making it harder to keep the floor clean. 💖Rebecca

Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coasti,, yes very true! I need my Lutheran elders to settle my soul. I will be visiting my eldest sister in Montana next month!💖. I can't wait. The last time we visited was in 2017 and Owain out youngest was with us. It was right after he graduated from high school, and my sister lived in…

Skimming through the posts, I see hugs! (((((((GROUP HUGS))))))))))💖 Actually when I was talking to my eldest sister about the texts, I mentioned that I always thought out Mom would've wanted me to keep trying, (to get her to stop drinking and smoking). As I was talking about it, I laughed because in my head I could hear…

Thank you Lisa!💖. I talked with my eldest sister, we both mourn our sister. Its like she has passed on. Gone is an empathetic feelings toward us. Gone are the days where she would call us on the phone for a nice chat. I get disappointed with myself, in that the same things happen, but yet I am expecting a different result.…

Feeling sad today. Sister issues. My heart just hurts. Why do I feel the need to be a pot stirrer with my middle sister. Its because even harsh communication is better than no communication. I rile her up, because at least she's communicating with me. I'm a beaten dog that has no clue about how to act better. 💖Rebecca

Yeah Connie! Doing the Onederland dance with you!

👍

I am recognizing I have trigger foods. Cheap candy is one of them. When it was our anniversary, on way home I said, "I want candy"! So we stopped at our Walgreens and I got a Big Hunk bar, and a bag of Skittles. The bag said shareable but I didn't share them! I should be good for a bit! Having all the bins of Halloween…

So shopping was today. Getting tired of my wheat Chex cereal, so that was a no. I looked at all the other cereals, and I have a tendency to buy sweet cereal, then eat it every time OTHER than breakfast time, when it was intended for. So cereal was out. Tired of yogurt. So I settled on Kashi frozen waffles. I will have…

Oops my bad.💖 Rebecca

Ok I just couldn't resist. Just swat me now! 💖Rebecca
