Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie, well its been since April for both of them as well. Patrick Athenas Daddy, and middle brother, sent his Navy younger brother a kind of stern message on Messenger, about "hey I had a kid, thought you would've contacted me about that". Brothers are both as frustrated as we are. 💖Rebecca

Amber, oh I can't wait for the FaceTiming with me! 💖Rebecca

I am presently cutting a dead string of lights out of a prelit Christmas tree. They used microscopic zip ties so its a frustrating task! Taking a break with a Fresca. Turkey's little pop out thingy hasn't popped yet so awhile yet! Simmering the giblets and will add to the soup stock. 💖Rebecca

Katla, we had so much fun taking that picture with the pretty old home behind it. I was laughing with husband, " but why-y-y can't I go up to their door and state our car matches your house. I think we need to live here"! I have had a lot of stress with the idea of putting in an official health and welfare check on him,…

Karen in Virginia, yes its puzzling behavior. He has grown up having a phone put into his hand to speak to older brothers in the Navy. It was excitement, and something we all looked forward to. Family is only as strong as the glue that holds it together. Glue is communication and inclusion. His birthday was in November…

Is it wrong to be cooking a turkey, and the most exciting part is simmering the carcass for broth? Lol, I do envision some turkey salad sandwiches, and furthermore soup! My eldest son's Chief came by last Tuesday and have him two bags of food. One bag was a 10 lb turkey, and the other bag was trimmings ie: cans of veggies,…

Christmas is stacked on my kitchen table! Need to organize, remove pieces I don't need. Then put in bins different than last year, so opening bins is like opening presents! Haahaa! 💖Rebecca

Thanks its a quiet court and I am already familiar with the card that should be and ones that just use it as a turnaround. Here's our real Spark, all cute when we got her in Warrenton.👍 💖Rebecca

Well they have tried contacting him, but his phone is never turned on. Maybe he never paid his phone bill. He is never on Facebook or Steam, a gaming platform. When I call it just says this number isn't available at this time, and his mailbox is full.

Hey ladies, Well didn't gain much over the holidays presently still 3 lbs less than the beginning of the month. Christmas was quiet, but nice. Eldest son/ roommate didn't listen when I declared no presents! So husband got a Chinese Lego set, military landing craft, and I got a model toy car of our Chevy Spark.💖. I gave him…

Thank you ladies for saying all the things I needed to hear. I slept well because of the glass of beer, and the muscle relaxer pill. Husband didn't wake me up to go to the gym. He kept the shades closed and I didn't even notice he had gotten up, showered and left. Took my bandaid off and it has scabbed over nicely. I can…

So I fell in the driveway, as I was walking down the street to our outgoing postbox. Our trees have moved the cement enough that we have cracks moving freefloating blocks and so I lost my balance and went down hard on my left hand and left knee. I just laid there a bit crying and finally yelled for Lee but he couldn't hear…

I am definitely sleeping better on my IF plan. Last night I didn't take my muscle relaxer because I was tired! Slept hard from 9:45pm to 9:45 am! Maybe I needed it, or maybe I was just lazy. I do have moments of feeling hungry, but it passes. Today I am sticking to my tried and true meal, sausage w/ zucchini, lots of…

Well down 4 lbs this month, and the month isn't even done yet.👍 Today's meal was: 4 Wasa multigrain crackers Pkg of Budding honey turkey slices one serving A tomato sliced 4 tsp of salmon cream cheese 12 slices of pickled English cucumbers 12 baby spinach leaves 1 T of ranch dressing I assembled the above in various ways…

When I used to work at a grocery store, and was their sample lady!

I am an a good place eating wise! I get a great meal in my head, and that's the only thing I wish to eat! Still not eating breakfast, my first meal of the day at 1 pm. Drink coffee though, and take my meds at normal times in the morning. Love love LOVE my zucchini, sausage with a turmeric and cayenne pepper spices in my…

So today's meal was like yesterday. Sausage, wild rice, zucchini, spinach, but I cracked an egg into the pan. Mozzarella cheese sprinkled on top. Love the spices of turmeric, and cayenne pepper with turkey broth all married together in a pan. 💖 Saw this on my up-cycling group on FB. Its a 1911 sewing machine combined with…

Athena at a rest stop with her fur sister Bobbie.👍 💖Rebecca Gym went well today! I exercised enough for my heart rate to be 145-50 for a good 15 minutes on the treadmill.👍

Happy Birthday Luci! 🎵🎵🎶🎶🎵🎶🎁💖😁

First meal of my day. 2 oz beef kielbasa A zucchini 1 cup of wild rice/ microwaveable minute rice 5 ice cubes of Turkey broth Turmeric Cayenne pepper Bowl of fresh spinach Sprinkling of mozzarella cheese Just saute everything! I put a spoonful of sour cream under the soup because I like discovering it!💖 💖Rebecca

Ok I will start with some Athena cuteness!💖 She must've had a good trip down. They drove all day yesterday from Vancouver WA to Vacaville California. I received info about my 40th class reunion. It is on 9-19-20. Can I safely lose 37 lbs in 9 months???? Haahaa. I will give it a good try.👍 💖Rebecca

Oh Machka how wonderful!💖

Yes, she is my happy place. My fire tablet is chock full of Athena cuteness! Anytime I am feeling down I just look at her! 💖Rebecca

🎄🎵🎶🎀⚓👍

Yeah! Navy won 31-7 against Army. It was a great game! Chief, son and I did a lot of yelling! Not eating good today. I have stopped with the snacking, and its now just teas! 💖Rebecca

Go Navy beat Army!!!!💖

Isn't this beautiful?!💖

Beth, thank you for the info!💖
