Heading out for a fun sewing day with daughters and friends. Have a wonderful Saturday! Mary from somewhere over the rainbow in Kansas

Around here there are traditional Shrove Tuesday Pancake Dinners. And in Liberal, Kansas, they have big celebrations with a pancake race every year and race against the women in Olney, England. So here I am, peeking in again, 2 days later and still too busy to chat. Hope you are all doing well! Mary from Kansas, where it…

I am extremely busy, and haven't had time to read posts, but wanted to tell you that I had a good time visiting my mother on Saturday. I have to get back to work, so have a good Monday, and carry on those healthy lifestyles! Mary

Just a quick drive thru tonight as I need to get to bed. I have been too busy to check on you all until now. However, I just finished reading all of the posts, and have thought of you all. Made a yummy spaghetti sauce tonight from a Weight Watcher's Basic Tomato Sauce recipe, and added a lot of sauted zucchini. I am taking…

Just jump in and post whenever you get a chance! Let us get to know you, snd by the way, welcome! My workout tonight was a nearly 2 hour rehearsal playing handbell duets with my daughter. It was actually aerobic - I worked so hard that I worked up a sweat! Fun, though. We are preparing to do a program for the local music…

I had shingles several years ago, even inside my eyelids, and it was very painful. My daughter who is a pharmacist then told me the next year to get the shingles immunization, but at the time, my insurance did not cover it for those under age 65. However, last year, they changed and started covering it. I was going to get…

Okay, I popped in to tell you a funny story on myself to brighten your day. I like to listen to books on CD when I drive. I was on the last CD of a mystery by Stuart Woods, and on my way to work. I knew that I was only around track 2 or 3. Anyway, suddenly when it changed tracks, there was a sentence or so, and then "We…

Getting over the "hump" in the middle of the work week - Wednesday. Have a great Wednesday, all! Mary from KS

Walk. It's easy, free, and can be done almost anywhere. Or look online for workout videos. Good luck!

Dear Husband, Dear Daughter, etc. I actually went swimming today for the first time in forever! I'm a little sore and a lot tired, and probably overdid it, but it feels good. Have a good evening! Mary in KS

I'm pretty sure that doesn't worked, unless things have changed since I tried it. Sorry! Mary

My poodle is black. Her mother was silver, though, and she has a few silver hairs. She is five years old. Is yours a standard also? Love those dogs! Mary

Okay, here I go back on the wagon again. After being sick and coughing for four months, I think that I am finally getting well enough to exercise, so maybe I will have the enthusiasm that I need. Sorry I neglected you, and good to see you again! Mary (throwing her hat back in the ring again . . .)

Gail - My deepest sympathy to you and yours. Rrboxer - I find that I do much better when I stay centered by checking with this lovely group daily. We've got your back! Meg - I know where Papillion is. My brother in law used to be stationed at the air base there. I have relatives in Plattsmouth and Omaha. (And many other…

I can't afford one either. I play one that belongs to the college. One of my son in laws and my youngest daughter also play bass clarinet. We could have a trio in our family! Mary

Of course! Just jump in and start posting with the rest of us - we'd love to get to know you! Mary

I play the bass clarinet, which I call the instrument of the gods. Which way do you live from Lincoln? My dad was from the Avoca/Weeping Water area, and I own a very small amount of land in Cass County. Mary

Just home and heading to bed. I played in a concert tonight at the community college 35 miles away. Now I probably won't have band again until June. Although I will enjoy having my Thursday evenings back, I will miss it. Very short work week for me; just today and tomorrow. Then we will head to Arkansas to have…

I just had to pop in to tell you how I handled this before. Some years ago, I took my mother to Skate America championships. They don't allow anything in, but we were going to be there for 8 hour periods for 3 days. My mother is on a very restricted sodium diet, and of course about all they serve is hot dogs, nachos, and…

On the subject of housework: unlike those who request that guests take off their shoes when they enter their home, I request them to remove their glasses. :wink: My mother in law, bless her heart, used to tell me, "If I was looking for dirt, I could have stayed home. I came to see you." Michele - Have you tried Google…

I had a fun day with my 7 year old grandson today, teaching him to sew and cook. He made a pillow, applesauce barbecue chicken, bread machine garlic bread, and pumpkin pie cake. We managed to squeeze in time to visit a friend for her 80th birthday today, and took my dog with us to see her. This tired Grandma needs to hit…

Busy busy busy but I wanted to tell you that I am still here and say hi! Did I mention that I am busy?? Mary

Good morning, lovely ladies! Hope that you are having a great Thursday! I have been extra busy and didn't make it to the thread at all yesterday. I have a question for those who have tried the fried green beans that was posted earlier in the month. I tried it, and like it, but I am wondering if it is possible to get the…

Anyone new to the thread, PLEASE READ: I belive that this will be post #473 on this thread, unless someone else is posting simultaneously. Anyway, when we reach 500 posts, this thread will be full. In small letters at the bottom of the last post, it will say this topic continued here. Click on that link, and you will find…

Just a quick post tonight before I close my eyes. I have had a busy day - went to church then the high school musical. My daughter and family came over for supper, and the 7 and 4 year old grandsons are spending the night. Tomorrow morning, we plan to go out to breakfast and do a little shopping since I have the day off of…

I just readjusted my ticker for weight that I seem to have found again . . :sad: And . . . Drum roll . . . Just completed my food diary for the first time in a long time! Thanks for being my inspiration! :flowerforyou: Mary

Bjmcq - We aren't an official group in the groups section; we are actually a thread in the forums. Now that you have posted, if you go to the community tab and click on "My Topic" you should be able to find us easily. I think that I will try to send you a personal message in case you don't see this. Welcome, and come back…

Joann - Sorry to hear of your family's loss. You are in my thoughts. Mary

Sometimes I do think this. If I question it, I either enter half of my actual time or eat way under the allotted calories. Mary
