After having had 3 days of 80-82 degree days I feel quite spoiled from this. Spring seems to have sprung with all of the new growth on our shrubs, trees and blossoms forming. I am also noticing lots of bulbs showing their pretty faces. I am thinking just maybe I need to make a trip to the nursery for some pretty flowers to…

Well better late than never. I too got lost in the above page numbers trying to find my way back to here. I would be two pages done, get busy and have to repeat trying to find where I was. However I am back for this update anyway. So much has gone on with everyone. Glad to hear those that have had illnesses are doing a lot…

Hi Sneakers.... Finally caught up on every ones delightful entries. Had a few comments to make, but that was a while back so don't recall what they were now. Such is life as they say. Hopefully everyone has about healed from their latest fall mishaps. It takes a while to bounce back these days. How are you doing now Lin ?…

With all of the discussion of music I need to put my took cents in also. Love most classical, music from the late 50s and 60s and a bit of 70s too. Bobs choices could be found at my house too and his latest reference to Bocelli and Celine an absolute favorite not to forget Josh Grobans music too. With introduction to…

Realizing it was the Canadian Thanksgiving today I needed to get on here to wish my Canadian friends a wonderful day. Remember living up there recalling Thanksgiving in October. That was a surprise to me seeing it was always in November for me. Enjoy the holiday !! Bob you got my taste buds going with your latest meal you…

Well finally got caught up with everything that I have missed. So much has gone on.... Jackie your wallpaper removal reminded me of my days of removing wallpaper. Such a job and usually it meant papering it shortly after. My husband and I made quite a team doing these projects. Loved the end result, but definitely not the…

Well lucky you all got a chance to finally get introduced to our toy poodle Jacque. My intentions have been good, but computers, phones, kindles and I don't always get along. Some photos end up in once place and then not another place; it takes time to find what I am looking for and then to follow the directions, which are…

Spent some time trying to figure it out last night. Turns out what I sent blows up into a picture. Yea !!! Special thanks to Sandy for her help here !!!

Sandy I followed your instructions and this is what appears at my end. Do you see a picture ?

Lost that one....Just found out you can't go back to the previous page. Live and learn. Jackie, What are bangers and mash ? I suppose mash potatoes, but bangers ????? I guess we have a senior dog now. Jacque, our 10 yr old toy poodle, now has heart problems. Between his vet and the cardiologist he is on 5 pills a day.…

Well I am finally caught up with daily messages. That took forever, but I enjoyed catching up with everyone. It seems I get involved in something and when that happens MFP falls behind. I miss everyone ! Lots keeping me busy in the yard. My so called gardener has fallen way behind, so I took on some pruning of two sides of…

Good evening sneakers.... Finally got caught up on all of the ones I needed to read. Just about have them read then get busy and find I am way behind again. However I do enjoy following everyone and with everyone living in such a variety of areas it tends to make the conversations extra interesting especially when our Anne…

Another day in this social distancing period. As usual pretty quiet in this senior community. More people doing some walking to break the monotony of being inside. The last 3 weeks the golf courses have been closed, but they are due to open next week again. It has meant the cart paths have been open for us walkers, which…

Nothing really going on here either Anne. It has been unusually nice out the last two days with temps in the high 60s. Even took the dog for a walk since it was actually pleasant outside. Need more exercise, but our winters make me chillier than I already am. 74 in the house and I am always cool. Very little rain, which is…

Realizing I needed to get back on here to see how everyone is doing. In no time I am 35 posts behind again, but I am again caught up. Pleased to see that everyone is doing pretty well right now and what little problems we have one day seems to give us a welcomed break for a day anyway. I am considering buying a new fitbit…

Heavy fog/clouds for us today and chilly enough to wear my warmest jacket. I don't do cold weather well anymore, but remind myself being in the high 40s or low 50s is nothing compared to what you gals have to deal with. No snow here, but lots in our mountains this weekend. Our rain comes and goes recently. Laughed at our…

Nice to see a familiar name, Marcella, but I am trying to recall who you are. Thinking you lived in the midwest and traveled with your husband on occasion, plus did you have an rv ? Apparently I had someone by the name of 6 Cookys appear on my fitbit per my husband. Couldn't figure out who that was, but did see a photo of…

Marie a very special lady that we will all miss greatly. Enjoyed the eulogy, which was beautifully written. May the following days be blessed with wonderful memories of this special lady. We will never forget her on MFP.

Another day almost done with a lot accomplished. Finished up with the gift cards that I needed to buy as well as finally finding some silver small hoops that my 8 yr old granddaughter wants. She is the child, along with her Dad, that have birthdays on Dec 22nd. What I had planned on for her birthday they were out of her…

Time for my morning coffee, then some breakfast and I will be ready to face the day. Its chilly right now, but we do have sun. The next two days will be lots of rain and snow in the mountains. The crowds have been horrible when shopping this year nevermind the crazy drivers on the road. With so many shopping parking is…

I have finally found some time to catch up on what all you have been doing. Thanks to Sandy I was able to find my way back into this site after they seemed to have made changes again. Saved the site in my favorites, so hopefully that will work for me. A few weeks back we made a trip to our casino for a bit of fun and I…

Enjoyed catching up with you ladies. Your personalities just blossom thru what you write; I look forward to reading your daily blogs. Sandy...Your last remark about "Trumps image on the Apprentice and feel he thinks he is still on a TV show for ratings" was exactly what I said to my husband the day before.... Now we wonder…

Dropping in just to check in. Back into the 80s again, but we have strong dry winds again. This means PG&E has shut down the power again for who knows how long. They suspect a few days, a days break and then it will be shut off again in various counties. So thankful we are not having to deal with this here. I do have a…

Sandy....you gave me a good laugh, but I totally understand. I have never gone to a haunted house. I am a big chicken ! Once watched the movie Wait Until Dark yrs ago in a theatre and that too has made me very apprehensive to watch horror movies. As for amusement parks with scary rides. Thanks but no thanks. The few I did…

Anne....Just realized that you had a birthday, so HAPPY BELATED BIRTHDAY !! It sounds as if you had a delightful day as well as a wonderful Thanksgiving with your family. You are so blessed to have family close and obviously have raised a couple of great sons that treat you so well. I have no doubt that your next living…

Trying to catch up with several things this evening. One being getting caught up with the Sneakers again, running a couple of loads of wash and peering occasionally at the Calgary Flames/ San Jose Sharks hockey game. The hockey games I was taught about during my Calgary days back in the early 1970s. Fun to watch on tv…

Good evening to all of my Sneaker friends. I am finally caught up on reading about 3 months worth daily news on everyone. So much has gone on with everyone. Lots of changes I see. As everyone was experiencing various medical issues I was finally doing better and able to start some serious walking again or so I thought.…

Keep listening to the news about how cold it is in the Vortex area and feel for those of you that who are having to stay warm in it. Certainly best to stay inside under those conditions. I sure hope that your furnace has straighten out for you Lin. Our furnace is 23 yrs old now. We just know the inevitable will suddenly…

Hello Sneakers....Thought I would just drop in to let you know I am still thinking about all of you. Did a bit of reading on here to find out how everyone is doing. Sandy Your grandkids have grown up so quickly and are so cute. Glad you are enjoying them. Buzz So glad to hear that your bursitis is getting a lot better. It…

As for thumb progress it has been very slow. Two meds for pain made me very sick and I didn't really want to be on them anyway. Finally yesterday that subsided to the point I can deal with the little bit of pain I still have. It is the side effects that I am dealing with now. Temps back in the 100 + this week all week…
