  • :flowerforyou: Hello my lovelies, I’ve been away so long, much has happened ….. :happy: :angry: :glasses: :sad: :blushing: :yawn: :devil: But Its rhubarb day today. Before the lightning strikes and the rain comes, I decided to tackle the rhubarb patch. Actually, it’s more than a patch; it’s become a law unto itself. There…

  • :glasses: bump..... been MIA for quite awhile.... Ireland was the calm before the storm. Suffice to say I gave my notice at work and am trying to keep my blood pressure from exploding! Hope to get back one day soon. Miss everyone! Kate

  • :glasses: bump :glasses: We are back from a fabulous trip to Ireland where spring had arrived. Came back to snow! Feel like I have hit a wall, so, so tired!! Kate
  • :glasses: If I could fly on the sheer size of my butterflies, I'd be air-borne right now! Don't know if I can keep in touch while we are away but I will be thinking about you with every bite! :flowerforyou: cheers, Kate
  • :flowerforyou: bump :flowerforyou: in the middle of packing still, plane leaves tomorrow. Wrung out after today's funeral for Aunt Bessie.
  • :flowerforyou: a quick pop-in between errands in yet another snowstorm :flowerforyou: Yesterday I was our local 'big lady' store trying to get a pair of jeans for our trip and there was NOTHING! I did buy a sale pair of Bermuda shorts for $15, emerald green, hahaha! Now I have one pair of shorts. :tongue: But I wandered…
  • :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :glasses: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: It’s April, so hard to believe and Ireland is here, one week away and my stomach is doing flips. Nope, not ready! Not ready at all! The snow is receding enough that I may attempt a walk today to test out the sidewalks. :glasses: Yes, the…

  • :flowerforyou: Happy Easter my lovely ladies!:flowerforyou: An entire week of warm weather, downspouts sounding like babbling brooks, small rivers running down driveway to the street, the great glaciers that covered the landscape are slowly receding, revealing scraps of boggy lawns and the mounded brown edges of the…
  • Hi, Sunshine League!:glasses: Had a lovely supper with friends last night but learned a valuable lesson, don’t rely on the darn computer. One of the ladies didn’t show and when we phoned her she said she didn’t get the confirmation. Get back to the phone, its more personal and there can be no mistakes! :embarassed: The sun…
  • Dear Robin, Oh my dear, I am so glad you are seeking help, depression is a horrible, horrible thing. I know, I have been there (still slide there sometimes during long winters). I know the numb feeling, the lack of joy, the desire to have the earth to swallow you up; it’s the total loss of your inner music. Its starts with…
  • :laugh: Hello my lovelies, ♫ Oh it’s a beautiful day in the neighbourhood ♫ ♪ A gorgeous sun-shiny day after all the blizzards and the terrible accidents and such, although it’s still minus 20 out there, the sun is out and it’s brilliant. :glasses: I was supposed to pick up DH from the airport on the day of the 100 car…
  • :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Happy Spring my friends!:flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: :flowerforyou: Here I stand in the first days of spring by my garden, up to my waist in snow, Waiting patiently for flowers to bloom but when will that be, I just don’t know? I am sorry to keep harping on about the weather…
  • The sun is out finally but there is still 3 feet of snow in my back yard..... tomorrow is spring?...... uh huh!
  • Just another monrning in the castle (haha) :grumble: There was a loud ’CRACK!’ I yelled and kitty went hell bent for leather out of the kitchen. The light fixture over the table had blown. The investigation began with a ladder in the kitchen, a ladder in the hallway to the attic and the realization that the darn thing had…
  • :flowerforyou: Good evening my friends, I have spent the past week in my hundred-year-old body, feeling like the wreck of the Hesperus while doing my best impression of Tim Conway’s ‘Little old man shuffling’ routine as I tried to navigate the icy sidewalks on the way to work. It didn’t help either that I had walked into a…
  • The downside of the upside is the middle limbo! I purged my closet once in the fall when I lost my weight and got rid some of the fall/winter baggies but I left a fair amount and especially the spring/summer clothes, secure in the knowledge that something would surely still fit or fit me better than it did before, right?…
  • :noway: I woke up in my 100 year old body today (hate it when I do that) ...... bad day...... I ate......and ate....... Kate
  • :flowerforyou: Hello my lovelies! A quick pop in between trips. Isn’t the universe wonderful?? :happy: One day you look in the mirror sideways at your profile and think, “Gawd, my stomach needs caging to look good in those gowns!” The next thing you know the first magazine you pick up has a bold ad for ‘Flexxies’ tummy…
  • Good morning Sweetpeas!! Another sunny day in middle Alberta, yes I know, it won’t last long but I can revel in its temporary glory can I not? News flash: Today after my morning shower and some slow stretching exercises….. I touched my toes! I touched base with my base and returned to the upright position without having to…
  • Hello, hello, hello my Lovelies! This morning has dawned wonderfully sunny and bright so I don’t mind that it is still -14c. DH has gone back to work after two weeks at home working on the basement. He is in New York for the conference that got postponed from the hurricane. I decided not to go this time and just…
  • Hello again my friends, First I would like to thank all of you who have had such kind words about my writing; I so appreciate hearing that for it might give me courage to carry forth a project I started last year. I am not a professional writer and the only things I have had published are letters to the editor expressing…
  • Jo, Welsh Cakes!!! You are the first person I have ever (met) who knows what a welsh cake is!!! I was raised on them from a youngster. My paternal grandmother made them and said our ancestors always had them on the warmer of the old wood stoves for passing wagons who might stop for a rest... the old Red River wagon…
