Hi everyone. sorry I am so long in posting. Thanks to you all for your caring words. I did write something yesterday and then it didn't want to post it for some reason. Likely my computer, it has been a bit testy lately. Dave is doing ok, he feels like it is improving which is a good thing. No problems from the pills so…

Hi everyone! It has been a busy couple of days. Yesterday Dave came downstairs and told me he thought he was having a stroke,his mouth was numb and had been for a couple of days (kept it to himself) and by last night his vision became blurred in his left eye, it was tearing and sore. I asked him to grimace and it involved…

Wowee!! Who is that fit and muscled guy??:noway: You look amazing, Jeffrey! So glad it was such a good experience. Your family must be very proud of you. Can't wait to hear your stories about your experience. See how we live through you??:bigsmile: take care all, Gayla :heart:

Hi folks! We had sunshine in Saskatchewan and about supper time had a big but short thunderstorm. The rain pounded down. I guess I didn't really need to water my pots!! Everything is looking healthy except the cucumbers aren't as nice as i would like. Just hope the produce. Neil and I were looking out the window where my…

Hi everyone. I wanted to get on now in case tomorrow gets away from me, I wanted to wish you good luck for Saturday's big race, Jeffrey. I know you will do great. Birdie -- Such a sad story and an all too common one. I know your daughter will be such a good support to her friend. Barb and Barbie -- Yeah for warm weather.…

Hi everyone! Just a quick note to let you know that I am down 1.6 pounds! Glad for that!! Back tomorrow. Sleep tight everyone. Gayla :yawn:

Hi everyone! What a glorious day we had after thunder storms though the night. The mosquitoes continue to be terrible. I was at a work retreat this morning and the treat this afternoon was a river cruise. We couldn't find a place to park and had to reroute to a parking place across the street. We ended up being 4 minutes…

Hi folks! I hope Jeffrey and Jake had a great Father's Day. I think we did ok here. Our youngest had to leave a little early as it was his first summer hockey game tonight. Crazy guys starting on Father's Day. I got up early to make breakfast for a change. I am tired now so will likely be in bed before midnight which…

:heart: Hi everyone! Sorry I have been so absent. It seems like it was a busy week, busy for this retired gal anyway. I have been trying to stay more focused on my WW program but today was a bust. Maybe I am preparing for tomorrow. I am cooking so I should be able to control what I eat. I am doing Prime Rib roast on the…

Marie -- Way to go, my friend!! You are doing great. I did go to WW last night and again stayed the same. Again, I am ok with that but going to work harder this week!! Take care everyone. Irene, you are in my thoughts. Gayla :heart:

Irene -- You continue to be in my prayers. You have a great attitude and know that your family and friends will support you. When you feel able to, please keep in touch. Gayla :heart:

Hi everyone! I am a bit pooped after spending the day digging and planting, but loving it! We went out for dinner for Neil's birthday (32nd) with the family. I had grilled shrimp so that should be ok except for the potatoes and Caesar salad (no self control). For dessert I had banana cake and caramel in a shot glass so it…

:heart: Here I am closing the room for the night! No rain today, yup, you heard me right!! We are supposed to see the sun tomorrow and hopefully the the temperature will be up to at least 20C. I really am tired of spending the day wrapped in a blanket and a jacket on. Dave says he is not turning the furnace on in June!! I…

Hi everyone! Raining again. We have received nearly half our annual rainfall and it is barely June!! Our sump pump is running almost continually. My garden must be enjoying this rainfall. I had to take my work car into the shop today so Dave picked me up and we went for breakfast, poached eggs and dry toast but I didn't…

Hi everyone! Busy day today. Neil got his temporary shoes (they extended the toe on his old ones while they make him a new pair. He is very happy to be out of the boot. I had WW meeting tonight and my weight stayed the same. I will take that, at least it didn't go up which is always a good thing! Barbie -- Glad you got to…

Hi everyone. I am ready to turn my puter off and hit the hay. Raining off and on today but I was working so it didn't cause issues for me. The sun came out early this evening so I got my strawberries planted. My garden beds are done so as long as we don't get any frost all is well. Barbie -- Yeah for some nice weather for…

A very late good night to you all. I am working tomorrow so if I get here it will likely be late again. Stay well. Gayla :heart:

Hi everyone from sunny Saskatchewan!! We did have a wee little sprinkle but not even enough to bring me inside. I am pooped!! I spent the whole day outside working on my garden beds. I dug them all up, weeded them and planted them. I left half of one bed for strawberries, hope to pick some up tomorrow. Tomorrow afternoon…

Ahh, Marie, you are so sweet! I will tell Neil you said Happy Birthday. He has been talking about his birthday since the calendar changed. We always take him out to The Keg for his birthday. I think that is a restaurant chain in the the U.S. as well as here. Once he found something good he stuck with it! If they ever take…

Marie -- Have fun with Alice! Hope you get yourself a new PC. The other day Dave said 'you should go get yourself a laptop". I nearly fell off my chair and I should have gone right then as he likely has already decided it isn't a good idea. Not that I can't get it anyway but he is the one that sets it up and does all the…

A very quick Hi to you all. I am not sure where the day went but it is now after midnight. We had, you know it, a rainy day. I think we might as well move to the west coast. Our biggest attraction on the prairies is our big, beautiful blue sky almost all summer long. I have always told my friend in BC that I could never…

Hi to the rest of you. It rained most of the day today except for a couple of hours late afternoon. Then we had weather warnings for tornados, high winds, hail and heavy rain. Currently we are getting the heavy rain, the rest thankfully, passed us by. I gathered up all my bedding plants and put them in the garage. Tomorrow…

Ok, dear friends, confession time. I gained 1/2 pound this week. It almost makes me wish I had had a bigger piece of cake!! Just messin' with you, a half pound is more than enough of a gain to tell me to get back on track. I will be watching very closely this week. After exercising 3 days in a row!! I have met a very nice…

Hi everyone! Oh how I love this glorious sunshine! We are enjoying 68F. I bought all my plants, may need more but will get them in tomorrow and see what I need then. I have them all outside enjoying the sunshine. It is a WW night and I am thinking that the scale may go the wrong way after the birthday meal. We also have…

Marie -- So glad you found the recipe you were wanting. I hope you can make it work for you. We have to take Neil in to see the people who will make shoes for him tomorrow. He is excited but I know from past experience that it will be a long slow process. Hope he can be patient for a little while longer. He is so tired of…

We have a birthday in June -- it is our Neil's birthday on the 12th and he is on day 14 of being his sweet self. No blow-ups when his brother was here tonight. Gayla :heart:

Hi everyone! We actually saw a little bit of the sun today but it remains cold. Too cold for brand new bedding plants. Soon, very soon!! The family were here for the birthday supper. It is always nice to have them home. We watched the hockey playoff game. My son is in a pool, to of the pool, so it made it interesting. It…

Hi everyone. It is cloudy with a bit of sun shinging through. I planted my tomatoes and some herbs in some pots and they must like it because I swear they have grown every time I look at them. I do want to put some cherry tomatoes in my garden beds and if the forecast is correct I should be able to do that by Wed. when it…
