Kim, What about one of those casual, long skirts? I wear a lot more skirts since I've lost weight and kind of like them now. Thanks for your thoughts. We still have fires, but not quite as bad as before. A couple were arson but some were from construction crews and the like. The worst ones are on the Marine base right now.…

Bump

Hi, I'm just stopping by to ask for prayers for the people in San Diego and all around. We have at least 8 separate fires going...some are destroying homes and businesses. It's very hot and windy making things hard for the firefighters. None of the fires are too near my house right now so I'm thankful for that. All of the…

Renny, Love the pictures! I don't even know if I have any before pictures...probably burned them all as they were taken. My dad traveled home to Milwaukee from Tucson on Monday, had his 90th birthday on Thursday, and went into the hospital with pneumonia on Friday. My sister said he had a bad day today with spiking fevers.…

Bump!

Hi again, We had just left my sister's in Tucson when I got a picture (by text) of my new grandson, Shawn. About 3 hours later I got to see and hold him! He's a healthy little (6#, 13oz) boy with very happy parents and big brother. Hugs to all. Eileen near San Diego

Hi, Visiting family in Tucson right now. We are leaving today and going to Yuma. Our newest grandson might very well be born today. They are at the hospital right now....SO EXCITED. This will be grandchild #8. Tomorrow we will have to get home though. We have a rental car that needs to be returned and I have a hair cut…

Hi, Just wanted to stop by and wish everyone a Happy Easter. We will have church, Easter breakfast at church, church again and then head for Tucson. My dad is there at my sister's. On the way there and back we will stop in Yuma to see ds and family. Their baby will probably be born this week (induced most likely) Lots of…

Hi all, We're having beautiful days lately...At least to me. I love it when it's in the upper 80's and hate being cold. Tomorrow it will be one year since my mom died. It's hard, but we know she's in heaven and that makes it better. Reading about everyone who has had a troublesome life with their parent saddens me. Mom and…

Bump for later. Eileen from rainy (thankfully!) San Diego

Vicki, I'm so sorry. Prayers of comfort for you and your family! Eileen

bump!

Ooooo. I feel so techie...I found this picture of Connor on my dil's facebook and figured out how to get it on here. He is about 1 month in the picture. (He will be 5 weeks tomorrow.) Eileen near San Diego

Katla...Happy Anniversary. Has anyone painted wooden cabinets that are stained wood? I want to do something with my kitchen, but I don't know what. I guess we could re-stain them too. A friend used chalk paint (I think it's called) on hers and liked the use of it. Also...I don't know what color to use. The kitchen is blue.…

Gloria, I am so sorry about your mother. I lost mine last April and am still hurting. Just be glad she is at peace and take care of yourself and your son. Eileen near San Diego

Hi, I'm way behind on reading posts...I'll try to catch up this weekend. We got back from Minnesota late Tuesday night and I've been trying to catch up with life since. We went there to see our newest little grandson. He was 3 weeks old on Sunday....so tiny! It was great to see him and his brothers..and of course their…

Amanda, adorable little one, I just love those little hands! Still raining. Went to zumba and now am staying home for the day. Eileen near San Diego

Hi, Praying that all who are sick heal soon. There is some nasty stuff going around out there. I made plane reservations today to go to Minnesota and see the new little grandson. It was hard to find tickets that were sort of reasonably priced! We're going in two weeks so I hope the weather there isn't too bad. Cold I can…

Finally we are supposed to get some real rain...Maybe as much as two inches. I'm thankful! It's hard teaching this week. I have 16 students and have had 7 absent 3 of the 4 days. The other day it was 4. It's pretty hard to get anything accomplished that way. I pray that they all get well over the weekend. Gotta get back to…

Brenda...Happy Birthday Sylvia...I do zumba and love it. It's the first exercise I have found that I can stick to...other than walking. It gets the heart rate up, and it's fun! (I don't really know how to dance so I didn't think I could do it, but I can.) You might look in on different teachers if they have more than one.…

Hi all...only have a minute after spending all of Friday and Saturday at our grade school basketball tournament. But...I just got a text message picture from my son of my newest grandchild! Connor Micah is his name. He is about 3 weeks early, but so were the other two boys. We're excited! Unfortunately we won't see him in…

Bumping for now. Please stay safe in the snow! Eileen near San Diego

Good grief...I just threw my fitbit in the washer attached to my work-out (zumba) clothes! I remembered it about 5 minutes later, and there it was...underwater and agitating away! I grabbed it out and dried it off. As of now, it's WORKING! I can't believe it, but I'm happy!! I have mine synced with MFP...I want those extra…

Wow, Joyce. Your trips to visit relatives in rural Minnesota sound exactly like ours when I was a kid. (Except for the pig chasing maybe :laugh: ) My relatives lived in MN too, and we city kids loved going there in the summer to visit. My dad usually drove straight through from Michigan while we slept all over the back of…

Joyce, When I make a sandwich for lunch, I put Laughing Cow wedges on instead of butter or margarine...and then turkey or something. I love it that way. Gives the sandwich a cheese taste without all the fat and calories. Rained a little last night. We need rain so badly that every little bit helps. It hadn't rained at all…

Good morning everyone, I have the day off because our school kids were in a basketball tournament all weekend and get a rest day today. I have lots to do, but am still sitting here with the computer...a luxury on a Monday. My ds called yesterday to tell us that a motorcycle plowed full speed into his truck yesterday. The…

Bump Happy Birthday, Jane H. Eileen near San Diego

Oh my! I am praying for all of you that are suffering from colds, arthritis, flu ,etc. etc. I hope everyone feels better soon!! My kids at school are in and out with those colds and flu too. I sure hope they don't share with me. It has been so warm and beautiful out for a couple of weeks. When I got home about 5 pm today…

Hi, I'm mainly bumping too. My computer at home quit working on Sunday so I bought a new one that day. I still don't have it! Best Buy says that something is not loading properly and they want a Micro-Soft rep to look at it. I sure hope I get it tonight. Anyway, I'm using my school computer, but I have work to do so I'd…

Happy New Year again to everyone. Joyce...I would love to have a fitbit friend. So if you want to add me my e-mail is jdraper@juno.com Our visiting dog had to go home today. I'm really going to miss him. We had a lot of fun going for walks and playing chase with his toys. He was a great dog to have for about two weeks. It…
