Hi everyone. Just checking in. This has been a busy week so far but not much going on today, just a few errands. The weather is still hot here in Florida and sometimes September can be one of our hottest. It’s also still hurricane season until November . Praying we don’t have anymore. Enjoy your Wednesday. 😊

Trying to catch up, it’s hard when I miss too many days getting here Still have the heat here in Florida, it doesn’t get much cooler until October. Maybe we can lose some of the heat index sooner. I had a good checkup with my doctor today. She was pleased that my blood pressure is down as well as my weight. That’s always a…

Susan, I, too, am so sorry to hear about Colin’s issues. That has to be so painful. We finally got our yard cleaned up and now we are just back to extreme heat and humidity. That’s what we deal with in Florida! We are doing good, just stay in a lot because of the heat! When it is so hot and the humidity is high, it makes…

Sorry I’ve been missing from this group. The storm hit just to the east of our area. We were without power for a few hours and had a lot of debris in the yard. So many others were hit so much worse and are still without power and are flooded from their homes. Appreciate your thoughts and prayers. I use to do a lot of…

We are still waiting for the hurricane to come on shore. It’s still out in the gulf but headed our way. We’ve never had any severe damage from one just a lot of limbs down and debris and losing power. There are those that have done extreme damage in Florida. Thank you all for your prayers. Barb, I would love to go to…

Susan, thank you for the list of names. We have our first hurricane warnings of the season. We are in a state of emergency which just means start preparing for the possibility of a hurricane around Sunday. Praying it’s not too bad as we have areas that haven’t fully recovered from the one last year. I enjoy reading all…

I don’t know everyone’s names either! I wish there was a way to learn everyone’s actual name. It’s hard to know unless it is included in the username. We have been resting up since taking the puppy back home. She is a joy to be around but a lot of work. Have a good week everyone!

Barb, that procedure does sound very painful. Praying for good results. I had a prolapsed bladder a few years ago and the urotack it up and did some other procedure and I’m using a crème twice a week to hopefully keep everything in place. Getting old is no fun. Susan, your dogs are adorable! I’m still pet sitting my…

Linda, my daughter and family live in Colorado Springs not sure if I’ve mentioned that before. They love it out there but we don’t get to see them very often. Thanks for the waves Susan! Good to hear from everyone! My hubby is recovering well from Covid. It has been more like a bad cold, so far no fever. It’s just going to…

Thank you all so much for your prayers for my hubby and me, it means a lot. He is definitely feeling better and so far I’m doing okay. I am going to test us both later today. The funeral was really sweet and the remaining daughter did a great job. Her Mom was a sweet Christian lady and she was ready to go home to see…

Thank you everyone and I so appreciate your prayers. So far the pulmonologist haven’t called setting up an appointment but my breathing is some better. I don’t know if I met that my Mom had asthma and she and my Dad both smoked for years and as a child I breathed in a lot of second hand smoke. It seems strange after all…

Judith, so sorry to hear about your flooding issues, what a mess! All because someone was careless with running a bath! We are still battling the heat but thankful we haven’t had a hurricane in our area yet but the season goes until the end of November! Love reading everyone’s posts! I had my chest X-ray yesterday and…

Oh Judith that flooding is horrible. Sure pray they get everything fixed and you have lots of help with the clean up. Yes Susan we are very thankful for air conditioning! Here in Florida we only have a few months that we don’t need to have it on. Have a blessed day everyone.

Hello everyone! Seems like all my hubby and I want to do is stay in the A/C! The humidity was especially high on Monday. We have been getting rain and sometimes it helps with the heat and other times it just makes the humidity worse! Oh well! 🙄 Linda I love your curio cabinet. I have a small one that has items in it that…

Susan, I wish the really loud fireworks were banned here but no such luck! It’s hard to believe you are having cold weather when we are so hot! Stay warm! We use to have a cabin in the north Georgia mountains and loved being able to escape there in the hot weather but we had to sell it several years ago. Now we just have…

We were over at some friend’s house for a cookout on the 4th and they had fireworks but they were just pretty ones and not to loud. Once we got home though we had some neighbors who like those loud ones that sounds like bombs. My dogs were always so afraid of that loud noise. I feel bad for the animals and veterans on the…

Thank you, Judith.

My name on Spark was Goozlebear. That was a nickname that we called our yellow lab. It is really nice to be able to reconnect here on MFP with Spark friends. I made some really good friends on there. Some are on Facebook now and some here. Judith, I live in Tallahassee which is almost to the Georgia state line. However I…

It’s nice to see Spark friends on here! My daughter lives in Colorado Springs. They love it there but it’s so far from Florida. I’ve flown out there several times since they have lived there but it’s so expensive to fly and too far to drive! We talk a lot but that’s not the same. We don’t have any plans for the 4th so far.…

Please call me Sandi! Yes I was on SparkPeople and really miss the connections there. It is nice to fine friends from there here and also meeting new people. Judith, Happy Canada Day! Praying you feel better. Susan, I, too, am glad you get to spend time with your grandchildren. I have four and none of them live close by. I…

Any activities around water sounds good to me, it’s so hot here in Florida and the high humidity makes it even worse! Looking forward to getting to know everyone. I haven’t been very active on MFP but do love meeting new friends! I’ll check out the activities! Have a great Thursday everyone!

I’m sorry I haven’t checked in with this team before now! I’m not very active on MFP so I forget to get on here. I miss the daily feed that helped to keep up with my friends! It is hot here in Florida, over 100 some days with the humidity. My hubby and I have been staying in a lot in the a/c ! Looking forward to getting to…

Sorry I’m not on here very much. I’ll get use to it one of these days! Our weather is still a little more like fall as it is cooler. Living in Florida it doesn’t really change that much like other areas. I’m able to walk most any part of the day though so that’s good. Happy November everyone!

I’m waiting on our weather here in Florida to feel like fall! Have some errands to do today. Wishing you all a nice Friday. 🥰
