Hi everyone. Just having a bite to eat (cottage cheese, pineapple and blueberries). I love fresh fruit. Marie -- sorry I didn't post last night but not going anywhere. I got busy playing scrabble online with a great friend from my nursing scool days. It was too late to post by the time we were done. I will try to leave a…

Hi from sunny Saskatchewan. I spent most of the day in the city. I had a nice salad for lunch with her and then took Neil for speech therapy. He really loves his speech therapist and she is very pleased with his voice. Then I made a stop at the Farmer's market for some corn, toatoes and strawberries. Yum! I plan to be home…

Hi to you all. Bedtime and here I am! It was a gorgeous day to hang out my clothes. It reminded me that growing up, Monday was always clothes washing day and of course they were hung on the line. What a sight to see home after home with clothes flapping in the breeze.! Sure glad I don't have to use a wringer washer and I…

Hi to you all from sunny Saskatchewan. Dave was out cutting the grass this afternoon. I swear that by the time he is done the grass has grown were he started. We are going to a steak dinner fund raiser for Cancer tomorrow. My other dil is looking after this one. Happy to help out. I am hoping that they have some grilled…

Good afternoon everyone. Gorgeous sunny day here although it is cool. WW was ok but the sodium from the Chinese food reminded me not to pkwy around with it. Hope to see a change at the scale next week. Sandy -- I see a nice quiet day in your future! Gregg isn't riding as it is an all girl team but he has been gathering…

Hi to you all. First off, yanks to the comedians for the laughter! I won't even tell you how long I watched tennis today! Tomorrow will be a little break as I go to WW and then to my son/dil for their garage sale to raise money for their MS bike-a-thon team. I have some things to take to them. Neil ended up coming out for…

:heart: Hi to you all from rainy Saskatchewan. Our lawn will be happy and it will give my blister time to heal before I get at my transplanting. I wish I would have got my potatoes planted. I spent the evening at my sisters with a friend. My sister is recovering from surgery and was happy to have some company. Neil saw the…

Once again popping in at the end of the day. I had Neil to see the podiatrist today. I think his feet felt better following. It looks like his last surgery will have to be repeated and his shoes need an adjustment which will hopefully give him a better gait and balance. Dave and I watched tennis that we had recorded. That…

Hi everyone. I just wanted you to know that I am still around. Between the French Open (tennis) and working outside I have neglected you!! I have not forgotten you tho! It has been cool today and the mosquitoes visited while I was outside. I got my tomatoes and pepper planted as well as the cucumbers. Idug up all the beds,…

Hi to you all from cloudy Saskatchewan. I bought my bedding plants today so am hoping to have a warm and rain free day tomorrow to get them in the ground. I am really sorry that I didn’t buy new planters for the deck as they are looking a little sad. I will watch for sales in the fall. The first day of WW has gone well. I…

Hi everyone! I am back and it feels good to be home. I started back to Weight Watchers today and I think I am ready. I won't change my numbers as thankfully, I am only a little more than a pound more than I was a few months ago. If feels good not to be starting completely over. I have looked over the last several days of…

Happy Mother's Day!! Enjoy your day, you have earned it!! Think of you all often. Gayla <3

Hi everyone. I have decided to take a hiatus for awhile, not forever but for awhile. I do love this wonderful group of women and men. I love to have come to know your families. I like the stories, the jokes, the songs. They lift me when I am down and always inspire me. Several of you have been my dear friends for many…

Happy Birthday to you, Lynn! I hope you have a wonderful day. We are off to do our mall walk and then going to my son's restaurant for lunch. Please don't hate on me. Take care, Gayla

Hi all. Dave and I took the day off today and watched the tennis final, was hoping for a Nadal win but will have to wait for next time. Then we watched Canada curling in the Worlds. Yeah, we won. My friend says curling is like watching paint dry but I love it. We used to curl, not well but did curl! We had our first 'reno'…

Hi to you all. I will confess, it is after 2 am and time for bed so brief I shall be! I wanted to welcome Deb to our wonderful little group. If it is support you need, you will find it. If it is a laugh you need you will find that too. If you need someone to kindly set you back on track someone will be willing to help you…

Hi to you all. Last night I took Neil to a hockey game. My nephew was playing in a band (drums) between periods and before the game started so I knew it would be extra special for Neil. Unfortunately he had 3 seizures during the game. Not bad ones but enough that it left him with a headache so we left about 10 minutes…

Hi everyone! We have melting in Saskatchewan!!! Yeah!! Can Spring be around the corner? For Marie, Sask-at-chew-an or as the locals say, Su-skatch-you-on, emphasis on the skatch! There you are, just like a local!! Marie -- That sounds like a very positive report for Jerry. It will feel like a long time during treatment but…

Hi to you all from Saskatchewan (you will never forget where I am from)!! It was melting a bit today and is supposed to be nice all week. I would be a fool to think that winter is done but will sure enjoy the warmth while it is here. I do try to quickly read the posts each day although I know that sometimes I miss some…

Hi everyone! Yahoo, I bought the appliances and was too late for your advice, Sandy! I may regret my decision but I went with black. Our fridge is white but has a some black on it (where the water and ice are) so thought that would look fine. The compacter is black and hopefully not being replaced. I had settled on…

Marie -- I am so, so glad that Alice is doing so well. I know you must be very relieved. I hope Jerry does great as well. He knows he has you in his corner and that would feel pretty darn good! Take care everyone. If I ever get these appliances bought I will be back here! I am so indecisive. I think I have it all figured…

Happy Birthday Sandy! Hope you are having a wonderful day. Let everyone spoil you. Marie, you are on my mind. Sending love to you and Jerry. I will be thinking of Alice tomorrow. Glad Kathy will be there. I am on my way to the city for more appliance quotes. Dave just reminded me (like I would forget). Ha! Back later, take…

Hi to you all. I think you all are angels! and comedians. I really needed a laugh tonight and I had many laugh out loud moments. Thank you all for that. I think I have made some decisions about appliances. Of course, I didn't find one place that has everything I want. After being the Queen of my kitchen for so many years I…

Hi to you all from sunny and cold Saskatchewan. It is very noisy and dusty here as they tear out the kitchen flooring. I guess it is time to go buy some appliances. My allergic nose is running like a tap, interrupted onlyby sneezing. I will be so happy to see the end of this but Dave will be even happier I expect. Marie --…

Hi to you all. Yup, still winter in Saskatchewan!! Neil had a little meltdown yesterday so I rescued him. I am not sure that it was the right thing to do but it was the right thing for me so I went with it. The staff person working was the one that Neil does not click with. Last night she decided to be firm with him,…

Good evening everyone. I am tired today after shopping, shopping, shopping with the husband. We finally found a vanity top/sink that will be suitable. Funny the things that Dave is so fussy about. I am not a decorator but I think I did all the decorating when we built the house 20 years ago and it just surprises me that…

Just l'il ole me poppin' in to say good night. I had a day of running around for materials. I did not come home with a vanity top for our guest bathroom which did not make dear Dave happy. We had a lot of sulking going on here tonight (me). I thought he should appreciate my effort. May tomorrow be a better day. The…

Hi to you all and a big welcome to the new folks. The Reno. Is moving along. I must remember to take some pictures. Neil had a rough day and sat on his pity pot most of the day refusing to eat. He finally got out of bed about 8 pm. He was trying to avoid the staff person that he doesn't like. This was my day to stay home.…

Hi to you from chilly Saskatchewan. I am sitting here wrapped up in my blanket. If we weren't in the middle of these renovations I would surely be looking for someplace warm to go!! My sister and her husband just got back from the Dominican. She spent 2 days in the hospital there with a severe gall bladder attack (first…

A quick Hi again tonight. I am very tired. Neil was Mr. CrankyPants today. I know he is trying to find something that will make me say he should come home. I just don't feel our house is safe for him right now with all the renovations. He would have to climb stairs for the bathroom and his bedroom and although he thinks he…
