Been making envelopes and writing letters. Its my happy place. Skipped gym today. On the upside I lost some even having a protein layden dinner last night. 💖Rebecca

Thanks ladies, I was really relieved to see the same guy that poked me in October! With all my scarring from years of donating platelets, they have to go thru that to find my vein. Its a matter of knowing what they're doing and trusting what I tell them. For each phlebotomist I have to tell them where to start the stick,…

On the way to the on base gym with husband, and spied a sign to donate blood. So if I had to choose donating or gym, donating wins all the time, ( if I am due to donating, every 8 weeks). I got the same phlebotomist, though he didn't remember me. I knew he had a soft jab, but I think I scared him by pointing to him saying,…

Aww Carol, you are so sweet! Many of my friends say I need to color my hair, but I have no desire to dance that dance. In a constant loop of touch ups etc. You are beautiful too!💖 Rebecca Whidbey island Washington

Slept in until my body literally ached. Long shower with new shampoo and conditioner, makes me so happy! I then rubbed coconut oil from head to toe! This brand it more creamy than oily, and I can hear my skin drinking it up. I have a nonscale victory to admit. As I raise my leg to put on coconut oil, there are cords on…

Heather, yes I need to sing. Its a great reset button for my mood. Its also a mental link to my mother and father, as they always came to my recitals, competitions, and choir programs. So when I sing, its like they're listening still. 💖Rebecca Whidbey island, WA

Oh wow, thank you for the links. I will investigate both.👍💖 💖Rebecca Whidbey island WA

Awe, that is sweet thank you.💖. I think of my voice as a friend I don't speak to that often. I do need to find an outlet.👍. Lee thinks opera is generally just swinging cats by their tails😂. 💖Rebecca

Well friend I don't sing as much as I should! I am not one that sings in a church setting. If I did attend it would be just me, and that's no fun. I practice now and then in the car! I still remember all my Italian arias though! Rebecca💖

Every so often (every 5 months or so), I buy a Marie Calender turkey pot pie with peas and carrots. It makes me remember as a kid getting the hot pot pie, putting a plate on top and then flipping it. The pie was upside down, its sauce all around it. It was really special.💖 Rebecca

Ladies my switch plate is drying. We have to return next Thursday to grout them.👍 It was a fun afternoon.👍 💖Rebecca

What I am making today.👍 These are not mine, but samples of others the art shop sells. Mine needs to match this art that is on the wall where the light switch is. Laters ladies!💖 💖Rebecca

Ok I have changed my password, and I can't get into the APP side of MFP. I had to change my password because I forgot it. Then now it won't take it. Hints? 💖Rebecca

Sweet Athena time! Tomorrow I go to my tile switch plate art class from 1-3 pm. Tea and cookies will be served. I will post a pic of my masterpiece when I get home. Looking forward to meeting some new friends. Oh and playing the piano in the alcove there.👍 💖Rebecca Whidbey island Washington

Today I met a friend I connected with thru a Whidbey free site. I was cleaning out pantry of items got from other people donated boxes last week and she answered the posting. Again food travels well around here! She lives in Freeland, a city located on the southern tip of Whidbey. She dropped off teenagers at a Coupville…

Kathy in Oregon, welcome from an Oregonian displaced presently in Washington! I just can't think of my self as a Washingtonian! No offence to all the Washingtonians here! 💖 I grew up near Portland, ( actually Gresham) but married a sailor in 1983 so he took me all hell and gone! We are retired Navy and share a home with…

Thanks again ladies, good ideas on the deciphering hints.👍, Today I reorganized my pen pal stuff. I weeded out there pals that aren't writing back. I realize life can get in the way of this hobby. It was just 3 that are in a holding pattern. I might drop them a line, or send them a Valentine next month. My active pen pals…

Thanks ladies, I knew you would give me insight on what to do! I appreciate you all! 💖Rebecca

Thanks! It is a good start! I fear her life is writing letters about writing letters. So I will continue to pick some points in her letters I can decipher and give her little glimpses of Whidbey island.👍 💖Rebecca

She writes how she talks I believe. So she'll write, " writing my own pals and that". So the phrase "and that" seems to end most sentences.👍 💖Rebecca

In a dilemma ladies! What would you do in this situation. I have a pen pal that has such loopy handwriting its a struggle to read. So do I tell her the truth and crush friendship? Or do I continue on with general letter writing, not answering really any questions she might've asked. Part of me wants to just keep doing as I…

Yes I love my Athena pics too. She's my ray of sunshine in this grey Washington weather. Hugs ladies! 💖Rebecca

Tracey, yep me too! He might've gotten more wrath from his Chief, than from me. They take keeping up contact with family very seriously. 💖Rebecca

Saw youngest son on Messenger last night! He answered me "Hi Mom"! It texted back and forth for a good hour. My heart was full, and I slept great. Carol hugs! My heart aches for your situation. 😢 There is some homelessness here on Whidbey. Mostly Meth addicts. Our free bus service and Garage Of Blessings which gives away…

Snow is finally melting. These tall trees make a loud racket when they decide to let go of the snow on their branches! 💖Rebecca

💖👍

💖Rebecca

Haahaa I don't know WHAT kind of oil we got! And this morning we had a flat tire. Must've hit something driving back to the island! When snow clears, we'll take the tire to get patched. We do not have a spare tire. Just the dang goop kit! Foot play! 💖Rebecca

I was googling warm places. Thailand is 89! Naples is 47' Maui, ( Ford Island) where the Navy Lodge is was 70's overcast. I'm just passing the time until this winter passes!👍👍😋😋 💖Rebecca We have military id we don't need the special ids

I called my sister in Montana, when husband was gone at the dealership. She had surgery on a lymphedema on the back of her knee, and the side of her other leg. They did internal stitches and glued the skin closed. She is doing well, and her puppy is 35+ lbs! My husband said the dealership just changed the oil. The brakes…
