No line dance class today, Elks was closed for the Memorial Day holiday. Was kinda hoping there’d be no Classic Fit class, but alas, there was. Only 8 people showed up and BOY did she work us hard. I even felt an abdominal muscle or two, amazing as I’ve often claimed to have none. Dogs to powerline and Jeopardy walking to…

Barbie, which cozy mysteries set in small town Cape Cod are you reading? Always looking for a good, cozy series. Rori thankful for that dream answer from your DH. ((hugs)) Heather, what a tribute to your design, that Johnny wants to redo his room! Will wonders never cease? Tracey love the deck but even more that you are…

Ssslugs! In the mini-greenhouse. Tiny one in pot of poppy seedlings, medium sized one going up the wall. [shudder] Maybe they were drawn by the warm, humid environment but how do they know to get up the deck and under the plastic? Yuck!!! Kay bless you and bless you and bless you. Lavender/Possum looks like a sweetie. Does…

Rita love love love Lucy. Yay DH! Welcome back Heidi from NC, that mold exposure sounds scary, grateful you’re healing. Lisa, Ancient peoples left trash piles too, archeologists call them “middens”. But as a fourth generation city gal I’m appalled at the sick-making ordeal you’ve been through. Thursday was a stroll with T…

Reading every post but catching up slowly, only through pg 11 Tracey neither will I agree with Michaela about the sweetness of snakes. Did she never hear the story of the woman who rescued a frozen snake? Tag line went something like “You knew I was a snake when you took me in.” 😬 Heather thanks for the advice, my GP puts…

Machka well done on the exercise and kilos gone. Love the Mothers’ Day meme. Tracey yours to Allie, so insightful. Love your mum’s smile, your and Kaitlyn’s smiles and the hanging basket ;) Heather I’d love to read whatever you wrote about food. Even the things I would never eat, you make them all sound so delicious and…

Kylia hope the car show is good relaxation from your busy season and unpleasant customer. Safe travels. Machka sounds like they have you working two jobs at once. Congrats on the audit results. Wow, that is one spendy pottery course. Lisa yours to Mo, just perfect. Barbie never thought to grow sunflowers or blue pumpkins…

I am in tears. Look what arrived in the mail today. Never in my life did I expect… Will catch up with y’all later Later, lighter, lovelies! Barbara, the Southern Oregon Coastie AHMOD May focus: Just one thing from the OMG room 2025: Chose NOW: to move more than yesterday (5 sit to stands every potty break no excuses), fuel…

Kylia, bravissima for remaining nicotine free! AND portioning out healthy fruit, veggie and cheese snacks. You’ve got this! Debbie, thankful your mom wasn’t hurt in the accident. Bartering fresh veggies for nice meals-brilliant! I so envy you your Aqua Zumba. Kim ((hugs)). Maybe not dreaming, wouldn’t be the first time a…

New teacher does “Classic Fit” not Better Bones and Balance. Today’s emphasis was on biceps and triceps, exercises similar to the Strong Women Stay Young routine with 3 sets of 8 reps each. Will see if Wednesday deals more with quads and glutes. Teacher is expectably perky. We’re all sad. . . Kay that spiritual growth…

Barbie, thanks for another month, another chance, another fresh start. In preparation for our church’s kitchen remodel both fellowship committees emptied out all the “stuff” from the cabinets, storage racks, closet and island. None of us were prepared to decide what to donate, what to dump, what to keep so we just piled it…
-
Oh Kay, what a shock! ((hugs held extra extra long)) Rori so glad to hear from you. Whooshing good monitor news energy your way. Thanks, Machka I’ll check my multivitamin for B9/folic acid content and compare with Megafol5. Michele so glad you’ve found a way to communicate with W. Keep up the good work. Epsom salts provide…

Barbie, at line dance class last week, our stand-in teacher revived “Wave on Wave”, saying, you all know this one, right? Yah, I did back in Boise 20 years ago, but couldn’t dredge it out of long ago memories… Rebecca Vaseline is my backside’s friend… just sayin’ You’re stuff is just stuff is another reminder that people…

Tina outside might not be safer depending on how tall and nearby other buildings are. In SF the Loma Prieta Quake falling debris crushed cars and covered sidewalks feet deep. You are right there is not really time. That quake sounded like an oncoming freight train. Kylia what Tracey said about the work you take home. Hope…

Belated welcome @Purplecat52 ! Logging food is a real eye-opener. Would you let us know what you like to be called and your general locale? Lanette and Tracey, Mama gave me Toni perms every six months from when I started school until I was 13 and put my foot down ;} Kylia and Lisa wow, what accomplishments! Exhausted just…

Belated welcome @pamiede in Bryan MS! What a horrible setback. All good luck and wishes to you. Pip oh nooo! ((hugs)) and SMOOCH that pooch for me. Tracey love the Lunch with Girlfriends poem.

Allie I’m v. thankful the c difficile was negative, but now what? Any more tests scheduled? Lisa yay for the BadBoy. Already saving your body and Corey’s. Would love to see a pic of the stone terrace. Barbie love the pic of you on the John Deere. Ginny really admire your food plans (chicken breast in salsa!) so soon after…
-
Rita ((hugs, just hugs held extra extra extra long) Ginny good to hear from you, rest and heal well. Prayers continue. Michele, raisins or currants are traditional, but you can substitute any dried fruit. The artisanal bakery in Boise used dried apricots… wasn’t to my taste. Mo I love, love LOVE your smile, and your DH’s…
-
Belated welcome @RosaPomodoro. Lots of crafters here, but alas, not me. How about a pic of your silly Cavalier? Beth s s s n o w ?!? Lisa s s s n a k e s !!! and things that mooooove in the dark?!? Eeeuuwwww Yours to Barbie about fragility and her shining example of humanity. So very well said. Debbie good job with MIL’s…

Only through pg 8, but praying for Ginny. Heather your Chinatown memories sparked a few for me, used to go with friends for dim sum, but only for the pork buns and egg tarts and green onion pancakes when I could get ‘em, the rest was sea food. My friends were happy to take up the slack ;) Keeping good thoughts for your…

Lisa since Joe’s been spraying this around the garage (inside and out) weekly, we have had no mice. Heather been meaning to say how much I loved the latest painting, the flowers. So pretty! And your crispy duck and garlic green beans have my mouth watering. Carol, not just others, but I do not recognize the eternally young…

Belated welcome @mspianomistress8596 Jeanette in AZ! What Lisa said about have your measurements changed? Belated welcome @LauraCron Laura in Southern Missouri! Love your positive attitude! Belated best birthday wishes, dear Lisa! Mo, our BB&B coach announced he’s moving out of the area and April will be his last month…

Thank you Barbie for the fresh start! March summary later, along with the continuing water saga, (picture me wrapped in a towel, long hair full of conditioner, trying to be calm advising Joe we were out of water AGAIN), unsettling news about BB&B, baking frenzy with black beans and donated lemons (not in the same recipes…
-
Belated best birthday wishes, dear Barbie! Belated welcome @Shortyof2boyz Mary soon to be in the sunshine state. Sad to say, the strongest motivation I’ve gotten lately is the surprising death of a dear friend. She retreated from the world and became morbidly sedentary after her husband’s death, but no one was expecting…

Belated welcome @rosied1226 Rosie in FL and congratulations for taking off those 55 pounds! Machka con very gratulations on the wt loss and comfy capris. What you have accomplished in the past seven years is both inspiring and staggering. No wonder you don’t feel rested. Rita imho I wouldn’t pay Acorn to help me save, but…

Belated welcome @Lindalike Linda from TX! Allie, Michele, Beth, Heather, Lisa, Tracey, Margaret, Mo, Barbie, Lanette, Kay, Machka, and all, thanks for the condolences. She really was quite a lady. Heather you are so right about how important it is to not let our lives shrink too much. Joe’s been inspired to get out and…
-
Sad stuff: (Spoiler) Mo thanks for sharing your contractor experience with Re. Re does your state have a listing of contractors’ licenses you can search to verify? Allie ((hugs)) thanks for the pic of your little leprechaun, I needed that. Ditto what Lanette said about hope they keep you and the bleeding stops. Carol…
-
Yesterday was quite stormy, high winds, heavy rain, flooding. Celtic Fiddler concert cancelled, to my relief, didn’t really want to travel even though T would have driven. Power went out for almost 4 hours, came back on just as Joe was getting ready to hook the generator up to the fridge and freezer. Gave me a chance to…
-
Lanette right there with you trying to decipher Lisa’s code. Travel, money, ?, squirrel squirrel squirrel happy. Hope it means that despite the expense she’s having fun at the fibre event. Whoops, Lisa as you can see my translation skills weren’t up to the task 🤪 $28 for a single skein of yarn? WOWser. Time to start…

Machka yup, when I worked in San Francisco, I wore those pointy high heeled shoes in the office, but snkeakers when walking from BART station to work and back. That geography and traffic jam remind me of those days. Now I only wear hiking boots or Adidas, except for low flats to church. ;) Thanks for the Debbie 27K steps?…
