Skunked! Woke up Wednesday morning thinking Joe’s burned some brussels sprouts. Nope. Shadow and Mooch got skunked. Just a glancing blow, not a full blown soak but Peeuuuuwww. Wiped ‘em down with apple cider vinegar, helped only a little. The stank got in the whole house. Must have rubbed off on my jacket ‘cuz when I…

Woo hoo! Wonderful visit despite skunk stank. Details later. Lighter lovelies!

Just a quick check in before I go back into panic cleaning mode. When I asked Joe where this visitors will sit, Joe said “Now, don’t go all crazy.” He knows me so well. But it would help me to know which chairs I have to vacuum… ;} Joe set up the adult beverages and glasses and is done. ;} Here’s my Liz…

Heather, thanks for trying, but I am well and truly stuck. As I glance around the OMG room I see no low hanging fruit and am overwhelmed. Tomorrow and Wednesday morning I’ll be furiously doing a Liz Taylor quick clean in prep for the neighbors’ visit Wednesday afternoon. They accepted Joe’s (!) invitation for amber nectar…

Windy app says cooler weather coming Wednesday. My left knee says it could be here sooner . . . ;} Tracey, Rodger suggesting next weekend’s art walk? WOW! What a reward for your making the first (races) move. May the trend continue! Great smiles. Love your new ‘do! Heather, Bea looks so grown up, how/when did that happen?…

Thanks Carol, Shadow was a very good girl but OH! The clouds of undercoat! After working very hard for two hours, groomer said she was only half done. I was tired so we’ll go back next week for part 2. ;) Lisa that PT sounds brutal, and at least a little sadistic. I don’t remember yelling at my shoulder PT, just wincing…

Barbie, you’ll be proud of me. Put in my first ever on line Fred Meyer order for pickup this afternoon. Usually shop Fridays for the 4x fuel points, trying to limit town trips to once daily. Shadow’s first ever grooming appointment is this afternoon, I want to stay with her to see how it goes. Too hot to leave her in the…

It’s just so much easier to do hard things that I like than those I don’t. Used to struggle to make myself go to Classic Fit class at the gym. It is no problem to go to Chair Yoga at the Grange and I always feel better afterwards. What a difference the teacher makes! Heather 32C? Lanette 90F? Lisa 110F? So thankful for our…
-
Allie sorry for your loss (hugs) Annie your granny square comment made me chuckle. I know exactly where the embroidered pillow I started in High School languishes… ;} Does your dad say why he doesn’t want to wear pants? Does he want a kilt? Pip you and Kirby look great! Michele I’d rock in that chair and send love to…

Mo, thought of you and Vicki and all our health care professionals today when an ambulance went by. Always say a prayer for the patient, caregivers and family. Today added you to the list. Even earth angels need prayers ;} Veronica conVERY grats on the couple pounds gone. Night time snacks are one of my (many) challenges…

Heather, I have a set of DVDS with 12 Poirots and 9 Joan Hickson Miss Marple DVDs. Will dust them off the next gray day ;) IMHO David Suchet is the best Poirot too. Did you see the Lord Peter Wimsey series back in the 70’s? Ian Charmichael the best Wimsey… ;} There’s a DVD collection on eBay for $25, hmm…. Barbie, “…keep…
-
Terri lovely images in your poem. Very evocative. Barbie, sometimes I think I’d like to live in a small apartment with lots of services too, then I remember that would mean living with lots of nearby neighbors too… Heather absolutely Joan Hickson was the best Miss Marple. You are really tempting me to subscribe to BritBox.…

Belated best birthday, dear Beth! Terri “…feed the Shark…” LOL! Annie think you’re right about the vicious cycle of anxiety/forgetfulness/anxiety. ((hugs)) Hooray for Murphy’s Oil Soap! Carol my MD puts me through a series of cognitive tests on a laptop. One is to “draw” with my finger onto a blank clock face whatever time…
-
Pip love the Yogi pic(s) and what you’ve done with the frames, even though they make me mist up. ((hugs)) Lisa whew about Kels’ hat’s shadow ;) V. thankful your ortho was able to persuade the VA for local PT. Hip hip hooray! (Shoulder shoulder hooray just doesn’t sound right). Totally understand Kels’ concern not to hurt…
-
Tracey, oh that Michaela. “Rude to our kind” Gotta love her… and the women who are raising her ;} “Richard relocator” took me a few too, but then I snorted tea all over the place. Then I saw the healthy salad meme and made another mess! Annie it must be so frustrating, trying to persuade your Dad he really needs to wear…

Thank you Barbie for keeping us going so faithfully every month. You are appreciated! Rebecca, to that walk across the Deception Pass bridge … hard NO. Flea con VERY grats to your daughter. Brava! Belated welcome @kimkimlandry251 Kimberly ! Belated best anniversary wishes Lisa and Corey! Belated best birthday wishes dear…

Just skimmin’ to catch up. Lovely weather is my excuse. ;} Rita, thanks for the “loaf at first sight” and the LP-A info. Might have to ask for that test before next annual. Only through pg 31. Later, lighter, lovelies! Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD June focus: Just one thing from the OMG room 2025: Chose NOW:…

Attagal Michele! Baby steps. Do Jess and/or Colby go shopping with you? They’ll need to learn those skills too and I can’t think of a more successful shopping warrior to teach them. ;) Glad the earring turned up. Rita ((hugs)) would you be willing to share which cholesterol marker your Cardio said was a possible stroke…
-
Just a quick check-in before breakfast and second to last “Classic Fit” class. Okie, “both at the same time” wow. If it came to that I’d do the same, being afraid that after one, I’d be reluctant to do the other… Heather, jealous of your cherry tree. No organic cherries yet at Freddies, and the non-organic ones have not…

Barbie thank you BUNCHES for the lightweight stainless steel hose suggestion. Having a new “toy” turned the wind-driven watering chore into a joy, especially the multifunction nozzle with cutoff switch. Whod’ve thunk it? “…so soothing to be in charge of …” Amen, sister, AMEN! Lanette Here is the link to the official OHSU…
-
Margaret hooray for strawberries fresh from your patch! Rebecca “EAT your protein” what a concept! Lanette you inspire me to dig out Coach Ken’s handout and to search YouTube for his later refinements. Can I get back to you? Barbie “…long believed things happen for a reason…” truth this. ((hugs)) Flea happy to see you pop…

Rita ((hugs) Welcome back Cheryl, thought I recognized the wessecg tag, but it has been awhile ;}. So sorry for your loss.14.5 shows what great care you have him/her. Pics please of your golden mountain bene doodle? Love the horse. Barbie so thankful you’ve found the joy in Annie. Was worried that since she was Jake’s…

Pip smooch that pooch one more time for me. 😪 💞 ((hugs)) Debbie what did the MD prescribe for the LDL? Prayers for your DH during this difficult time. And for you. ((hugs)) That weighted vest, hmm, might be just what my lumbar vertebrae need to strengthen themselves…Thanks! Mo “…common sense is promised to no one…” Truth,…
-
Mo that 60th bday celebration with your bestie sounds just perfect. Stick to your guns and make sure your DH knows this is a girls only trip. ((hugs)) Heather does your rambling rose have a scent? The ones that grow around our post office have the most marvelous, cinnamon/spicy aroma. Love them. “… the uncut version”……

RIP, Chef Anne. Margaret, love your beach fun reminder. Evelyn thanks. Didn’t know medically assisted dying was available in Canada. Food for thought. Prayers for Tracey’s daughter’s friend and family, and for the swift and complete healing of your toes. Heather the pink clas sundae dishes sound lovely. You’ve purged so…
-
Evelyn thanks for the MAID info. Is that like Hospice here in the US? Mo I love aqua Zumba but alas none offered nearby. There are water aerobics and our town’s outdoor pool but it is too cool for me ;} Lorna your DH’s Maine pics are stunning. Thanks! Rebecca no sense of smell? In some cases that might be a blessing ;}…
-
Barbie would you remind me what brand your stainless steel hose is? One of my lightweight, expandable, Grocery Outlet specials hoses burst this afternoon ;{ Yes we live about a mile inland from US101, and it is our one way out, either north or south. There are no through roads from where we live going east, and the ocean…

Ah finally caught up but too sleepy to comment much. Michele sit-to-stands are just what they sound like. From a seated ;} position, stand up quickly keeping your head and body as upright as possible. Then sloooowly to a count of four sit back down. Repeat. Makes my quads sore, but its one of those things my future self…

Still skimmin’ and only through pg 14 but had to ask Rori to extend my thanks also to Mr. Taylor, and thank Lanette for the “…unless you are selling Thin Mints” sign. Later, lighter, lovelies!
