Athena turned 4 months old yesterday.💖 Rebecca

The hint I will give you is that you have to slather it with Crisco, especially in the corners so they come out easily. Mine used 1 lasagna noodle per layer. I was able to get 5 layers in. Make sure you put a blob of sauce down first.👍 💖Rebecca

So bought green onions for today's ramen bowl! Then I bought some tomatoes, and an English cucumber. Cut up the four tomatoes, cucumber and onions up with my dressing to make a quick salad. I love veggies! 💖Rebecca

Its just a mini loaf pan, the loaves are about the size of a huge muffin. Not sure where I picked it up. Great for quick breads like banana bread, and of course brownies! 💖Rebecca

The udon soup is just a packet. I have shiitake mushroom dressing, with bits of the mushroom, but the commissary seems to be out of shiitake mushrooms at the moment!😕

This lasagna pic was before I put it in the oven now.

My lasagna making was a success. Good for portion control. I know when I used to make a complete pan of it, my husband's square would be humongous! Here its more realistic. 💖Rebecca Whidbey Oh here you can see just how NOT of a summer Whidbey island gets.

Miso soup ramen! With peas ( that sunk to the bottom)! Sprinkled my seaweed, sesame seeds mixture! It was 2 oz of udon noodles heaven! 💖Rebecca Whidbey island, WA

No worries, he was more down south than I. I think the guy that took this had a telephoto lens camera.👍. I have yet to see this bachelor with my own eyes. One day. He is allusive!💖

Walter our one elk was been spotted! He's massive! 💖Rebecca

Lanette, yep! My eldest son leave time from Oct 6th-20th, so then middle son got Oct 17-20th off with Home Depot. Its a juggling act! But we'll come down 16th rest up then go over. Staying at a hotel. Then drive back Sunday. I don't know, I might stay and then take a train over to my sister's in Great Falls, Montana. The…

Sharon, you look mauvalous!💖

I'm going to write the addresses on white cards and tape on front.👍

Alrighty I have officially gone off the deep end DIY-ish! We got a nice grocery store insert and I made envelopes out of it for my pen pals! 💖Rebecca

So today for Anniversary dinner we're using a coupon at Subway.💖. Its not what you do, its who you're with. I am with my best friend.💖 Rebecca

Caught her right before she yawned!

Well I !have my first hiccup with my Pen pals. I have gotten my first intro letter back from her, and I can't read her writing! I did decipher that she is married, with a daughter 37, and three grandkids. But beyond that is a mystery! I suppose I will write general stuff, weather, what I am cooking etc. I don't dare not…

You know if I mark on a container, "Lee" or my son "Galen", I will not eat their cookies! The guilt alone would kill me!💖 💖Rebecca

Vicki GI NE , congrats to us!💖 Michele, I will have some yogurt afterwards, and see if that helps👍

Ok so didn't buy candy when I went out grocery shopping. I hate Halloween.🎃🎃😕🐷🐷🍬🍭🍬!!! I did but Udon noodles, some Japanese soup base and will steam some soy sauce drizzled Tilapia fish! I should've bought some green onions! That would have topped this feast nicely! I looked for NECCO wafers but didn't see any. My current…

Well my husband got a cool bendable sculpted GIJoe sized body all muscles, and an Arnold Schwarzenegger Conan the barbarian head, and accessories! It was from eldest son for his birthday! Must have cost him a pretty penny. We laughed so hard because the body came with attachable man parts. One happy, one not so! Lord knows…

Well we usually get home about 10:30/11 am so too early for me to eat lunch, so I normally have a cup of coffee, maybe a piece of fruit.👍

Thanks for the input ladies! On the good side, when I done with the 5-10 minutes sauna, my body is "humming". I do like that feeling! Its like a metabolism high. When we got home I sat in our recliner just being quiet. My soreness isn't painful, so I will not worry about it. I have gone thru menopause, so done with all…

Question ladies. I have been doing weight machines, and my 30 minutes on the treadmill 4 times a week for months now. Is it normal to still have sore muscles? I am fine Monday and Tuesday, but Wednesday and Thursday I am sore. Then recuperate Friday Saturday and Sunday. My husband has slowly increased his weight amount,…

Some of you have posted your journey stories so I shall tell you mine. "Once upon a time I was a slim person. Ok stop laughing I wassss, with the help of Jenny Craig and boatloads of money. This was in 2010. I saw 189 for about a week. But did I dance thru the house? Scream Hallelujah thru.the aisles of the grocery store?…

Where abouts in Portland? I grew up in Gresham, went to San Barlow HS, earlier I attended Boring Grade School. My childhood home is off 242nd and Regner rd. I have no idea how to spell that anymore!!! Presently we live on Whidbey island in Washington.👍 Rebecca

Today I slept in, then my eldest sister called me. Its so great that we get along so well. Our conversations cover deep subjects, and after talking with her, and helping her with something she was conflicted about, my heart is full. Its nice to be needed, that she values my input. Sometimes hearing a situation, and looking…

Hey Ladies! I'm so sorry Barbie, about your Saturday phone call friend passing. Those times you normally call can be a nice quiet time to appreciate her, and know she's without pain. 💖 Middle son in Vancouver WA is trying to organize days off in October, then eldest son will take a week off during those specific dates,…
