Hi everyone from cloudy and cool Saskatchewan. We had a nice evening with my son, dil and Neil. I had hoped that it would take Neil's mind off himself but it wasn't to be. It is hard to enjoy oneself when you are being continually 'zapped'!!! This morning I woke to him crying for help. He was having seizure after seizure…

Hi to you all. I likely missed some good stuff as I perused very quickly. Thanks so much for the prayers and kind thoughts for Neil. It must be working as he had a much better day. The neuro. nurse called first thing this morning and suggested completely turning off his stimulator until she can reassess it tomorrow. She is…

A very quick Hi before I hit the hay! We have been off for our usual Edmonton holiday (we call it Neil's holiday), nice hotel, good weather and good fun. I will tell you more later. I took my ipad but for some reason couldn't get in to this site. I am pooped and need a sleep. Neil needs some prayers and good thoughts. We…

Happy Birthday, Connie! Hope you have a great day and a wonderful start to a new decade! Marie -- stay cool. I hope you don't lose your a/c. Jeri -- another great picture. I will say a little prayer that you hear good results. Barbie -- how wonderful that the house sold. Best of luck on the new purchase. Sandy -- glad you…

Good night, my friends. So sorry for the loss of your dear Haifa, Barbie and Jake. The memory of helping our cats, Nicky and Alfie, to kitty heaven still seems very fresh although it is many years ago. You will be in my thoughts. So sorry I missed your birthday, Pam. Hope it was a happy one. Glad to see a post from you…

A quick good night to you all. All is well and will write a little more tomorrow. Gayla :heart:

Hi everyone. We had a great day, hot but enough wind to make it feel great. Of course it isn't anywhere near as hot as Marie 's heat!, stay cool my friend. Jeri -- how are you doing? You didn't miss anything. I actually retired over a year ago but was going back for a half-day each week to see the long term hospitalized…

Hi everyone. No personals here either. I keep falling asleep in my chair. Dave and I were running errands today. I have a bunch of blood work that needs to be done from my Dr. Appt. Yesterday. However I need to fast so will likely do it next week. Yesterday I went to the office to clean out my desk. As much as I am ready…

Goodnight, my friends. Marie -- I am hoping that you are not too sore in the morning. Take it easy for a couple of days. Buzz -- enjoyed your words of wisdom and experience. Hope everyone had a wonderful 4th. Sleep tight! Gayla :heart: :yawn:

Happy 4th to you all. Enjoy the day!

Jeri -- you are an amazing photographer. You must know that people would pay for your gorgeous photos! So glad you share them with us. Take care. Gayla :heart:

Happy Birthday, Jeri!! I am not computer savvy like these other girls but the sentiment is the same. Ugh -- I really hate rereading my posts and finding spelling errors! Gluton is gluten! Only one solution, don't reread the post! Hope you are having a great Sunday. Gayla :heart:

I wasn't finished posting but guess they thought I had written enough!! Thankfully it posted instead of disappearing. Sorry you are having so much trouble with that, Buzz! Barbie -- you asked about who I liked in tennis. I enjoy watching the men more than the women, mostly because the women scream so much. Today I watched…

Hi everyone from sunny Saskatchewan. I did a tour of my yard today and the weeds are calling me. I have some strawberries starting to ripen and the rest is progressing as expected. My rose bush that I dug out last year is healthy and blooming beautifully. I guess I didn't do a good job. My white rose died and was sad about…

Hi all. It is ridicuously late so I won't be here long!! Thank you for all the Canada Day wishes. We had a quiet day except for the cheering for men's semi-finals (tennis). Awesome games!! Wish I was there. Loved the joke. Giggled out loud to myself! Welcome to Koty. Looking forward to learning more about you. I will fill…

Happy Canada Day to all my Canadian friends. Neil is home for the weekend. He called me many, many times over the last few days crying about his seizures. So far none at home. I ate too much popcorn tonight and have a bit of a belly ache. I suspect it is more than the popcorn but whatever, I don't like it!! Jeri -- The…

Hi to you all from very warm and sunny Saskatchewan. I am just stopping by quickly to tell you, Jeri, how happy I am that the first step is over. I hope the rest of your treatment goes as smoothly. Marie -- I am also shouting hurrah for your Jerry! So glad all is well. Take care all. Be back soon. Gayla :heart:

Good night to you all. I am off to bed early tonight as Neil has a Dr. appt. at 8:45 tomorrow morning. Not sure what I was thinking to agree to an appt. at that time!! It has been raining off and on all day but the garden is enjoying it. Lots of strawberries coming and flowers on the tomatoes. Everything else looks ok but…

Hi everyone from rainy Saskatchewan. We needed some rain but now we have had enough! Dave moved my clothesline so now the clothes will no longer get caught in the mugo pines. Yeah for that. I can still stand on the deck and hang my clothes -- what a princess. We enjoyed the play last night although the chairs were hard…

Happy Birtday to you!! I hope you have a wonderful day, Buzz! Well, my U.S. friends I am doing my best to cheer for Andy but he just lost the tie breaker. I hope he gets the next set. Tonight I am going out to see a play with friends so I likely won't be stopping by. Thanks for the laughs you crazy kids! Take care and keep…

Good night my friends. I am not getting anything done except watching tennis. I must find more discipline in my life. Marie -- Best wishes for Jerry on Tuesday. So glad he has his voice back. It is looking less and less like we will get the boat in the water this summer. If we don't there will always be next summer! Jeri…

Thanks for the smile Sandy! I thoroughly enjoyed my day today but I will confess my eating plan hit a speed bump so I guess it is back on the wagon in the morning. I had a new hairdresser and am happy with the results. I have a lot of waves and cow licks in my hair so I know it isn't easy to cut so am always happy when a…

Good night to you all. Tomorrow I am going for a hair cut, pedicure and manicure. I know it is kind of a waste to get a manicure this time of year with my hands in the dirt so much but my nails really need some attention. I need to do a better job at applying the nail hardener regularly and perhaps they wouldn't break so…

Hi everyone. After all my whining I did manage to lose over a pound this week. I am crediting it to working in the yard. all that up and down must count for something! I wanted to come on in time to wish a Happy Father's Day to the Dads' that pop in here and to your husbands as well. My Dad died when I was 16 but I can…

Hi everyone. I did get some yard work done before the rain came. It looks so much better. I am struggling with my diet and don't expect to see a loss this week. What is wrong with me that I can't stay focused on my healthy plan? Jeri -- I am so happy that you are feeling better about your diagnosis and treatment plan. Just…

Good night to you all from rainy Saskatchewan. We need it so will gladly accept. I did get to the chiropractor today and he adjusted nine spots on my spine. I feel quite pain free at the moment but will likely go back Friday. After that I should be good for a few months. That is more or less my routine. I feel very blessed…

A very quick Hi to you all. I replanted my basil today, it smells so good. We ate better today, not perfect but def. better!! I stewed some rhubarb this afternoon and put a bit too much sugar in it so I have to be careful with that. Dave was happy as it was sweet enough for his palate. Usually he doesn't eat rhubarb. I…

Hi to you all from a lovely Saskatchewan summer. I had to go pick up a couple more plants today. For some reason my basil dropped his leaves and died. Not sure why but I will replace him and give him a friend. I have never lost basil before so we shall see. I would surely miss the fresh basil throughout the summer. I had a…

Hi everyone. It is a little cloudy today but very comfortable, no complaints. Just wanted to tell you I dropped 2.2 pounds today. Yippee! My ticker only changes 1 pound as I hadn't changed it when I started back on program. One pound or two pounds, just happy it is going in the right direction. Sandy -- it doesn't matter…

Hi to you all from sunny Saskatchewan. How much do I love summer?? No need to answer but it is a lot!! I read somewhere that watermelon in a good diuretic and what a great summer fruit it is. Summer is so short that we really have to enjoy all those ‘summer’ things. I didn’t get a chance to play in my yard today as we…
