  • Hi ladies! Great news...got up this morning at 4 a.m. to place and start the sprinklers (with the unusual heat there are only certain times we are allowed to water) and what did I see in the sky? STARS! Yes, for the first time in so long, the smoke haze has cleared. Yaaay. And our hot weather is subsiding. Great! The next…
  • Hello ladies! Been awhile since I posted. Have been trying to catch up with all of you this afternoon. You are a busy group! Here, just outside of Vancouver (Canada) it has been miserable with the smoke and haze from all the forest fires in BC- worst fire year since 1958 they say. Went out for my walk this morning when it…
  • Just finished 2 hours of weeding. My yard is big and seems the last section is finished and the first one is ready to get those pesky weeds out again- the never ending cycle. Have not had much luck with putting down the weed shield materials. Well, it is good exercise at least! And the early morning was cool and even a bit…
  • Hello everyone! Wow, I just missed reading the blog for about 4 days and it will take me forever to catch up with you busy folks! I lost 12 lbs in June and am super happy with it. I know the weight loss will slow down by a lot now and that's okay too. My doctor said to lose it slowly if you want it to be permanent loss.…

  • It is hard to keep up with all of you and learn who's who but gradually will "get it" hopefully. :) Love reading all your advice and activities and always check your posts every day. Thanks! Just finished watering all the garden and ready to have breakfast and get the day going. And in the bear world, we have a bear rehab…
  • Jenn Welcome fellow newbie! We don't live far away from each other- just across the water. Just back from 12 days on Pender Island- what a paradise. Went to Victoria one day but during rush hour. Yikes, how Victoria has grown! This weather is so cold and rainy and certainly doesn't inspire getting out there, does it? Have…
  • M I did that hike about 5 years ago and could not do it today. You've inspired me to get back in shape and go back. Does it still have the little waterfalls at the top? When I did my bear response work I lived just about 30 min from Lake Louise. My most favorite place in Canada! (My lake! I just let people visit it though.…
  • Janetr OKC Last month my Mom had a heart attack and she's waaaaay older than your sister. She's home now! They can do amazing things with hearts these days. Your sister is in my prayers! Keep us posted.
  • Ginger in Texas Good news- the laser therapy treatment is not surgery! It is a laser that is applied to your knee area that penetrates the muscles and joints and promotes more blood circulation to the area and more healing- up to 70% faster. Really made a difference to my knee. Barbie Cat Wow, that's a lot of motion for…
  • Becca Forgot- Annabelle is a cutie! B.L. Weez'
  • Becca So happy to hear that your hubby is out of surgery and doing well. Can identify with the caretaker role and it can be demanding. Hoping he will heal up quickly! Just finished 1 1/2 hours weeding. Seems like the weeds are winning this year but I'm determined in the the fight. :) Margaret Interesting about the insulin.…
  • Hello again. I'm still fascinated by all the members of this group, a bit overwhelmed at how many of you there are and all the great comments to read. Thank you so much for the welcoming comments. Here I am posting two days in a row because you are so friendly! Yes, working with orphaned grizzlies is a fantastic job! They…
  • BarbieCat, thank you so much for the great book ideas. I will get them tomorrow. :) I've been to the Olympic Peninusula- what a beautiful spot!! Three weeks ago I was over on Pender island overlooking the Olympic Peninsula and remarking again how beautiful that whole area is! PipCD34- is there any better way to spend time…
  • Hello ladies! You are inspiring and so encouraging and I love reading your posts. I am brand new. Rarely do things like this posting into groups, being a full blown introvert. :) I live in B.C., about 35 miles east of Vancouver as I am not a fan of big cities. Recently retired early from two different jobs: taught Kg and…
