Rosemarie, Kay and Rori, so good to see you posting! Welcome @jackiekost ! We’re happy you found us too! Rita wow 2.5 pedaling…

Today’s gratitude: sense of smell. The scent of fog and mist in the woods this morning, then the first whiff of Lemon Lift tea and now Joe’s garlic bread warming in the oven. Yum! PT exercises, even got steps in, was doing ok with the food when. . . knew it was a mistake to put the dark chocolate California brittle within…

Annie further to the discussion about lawyers and daycare… have you checked out the Delaware Aging and Disability Resource Center: https://dhss.delaware.gov/dhss/main/aging.htm

gratitudes: Tuesday: Thought my flannel nightshirt was heavier than my new knit pj’s. Turns out no, they’re .2 lb heaver. Now I can weigh in in either disregarding the difference. ;} Monday Joe has figured out that abstaining from brandy and sweets makes the tingling in his fingers, the nerve pain in his tooth, and the…

Today’s gratitude: that I don’t have to work outside in that eyeball-freezing, tree toppling wind! Michele have all the cats that Shadow hasn’t gotten along with been adults?

At this morning's PT appointment hit a new personal best of 913 “steps” in 8 minutes on the seated elliptical Came home, made egg salad sandwich on whole wheat, finished yesterday’s artichoke and took a nap. Couldn’t make myself get out into the garden, “too windy” was my excuse but just really lazy. Barbie “oh boy! Barbie…

Today’s gratitude: first whiff of tea, and oh! This weather! 60-75 today, just perfect! Rebecca another week without a kitchen? SMH.

Gratitudes: Monday: Joe’s resolved to reduce brandy and sugar to lose weight and keep his fingers from twinging. Now it’s my turn, ugh. Sunday: slugs didn’t get the baby lettuces in the six pack I left out overnight. Teri had to google Eurovision. Lovely tribute to your dear friend Machka Wow what a view! Hoping what…

Today’s gratitude: no ill effects so far from Shadow’s frenzied shredding of a moo cow dolly and the mysterious orange bag and magnet. Carol and Beth you’re both on my heart this morning. Tracey how satisfying to have made a difference for that girl. First of many, I’m sure.. Machka thanks for the pics. Does your…

Today’s gratitude: PT progress, Monday’s appointment might release me. Yesterday’s gratitude: woke up from disturbing dreams to find Joe and the dogs fine. Whew!

Today’s gratitude: sunny breaks in the rain. Camaraderie of the fellowship gals. Yesterday’s gratitude: Joe changed his mind. Lanette please share your chainsaw shopping experiences. I, too, am inspired by Debbie and Lisa. Want to tackle some of the most annoying branches that are too big around for me to lop. Thanks also…

Today’s gratitude: Joe thought up a prudent plan for if/when the water system guy wants to start work. Lazy day, didn’t get out of my nightgown, recovering from Wednesday night’s GERD. Trying to look back and identify trigger, doesn’t seem to be citrus, garlic or tomato (rotflmao) but maybe Chai latte? Heard back from MFP…

Today’s gratitude: tea stayed down this morning. Yesterday evening I waited too long to eat and didn’t chew the first few artichoke leaves thoroughly. Triggered the longest (7:30-3:30) GERD episode so far. Nothing worked, not TUMS, not ginger snaps, not candied ginger. Could not even try to sip some flat ginger ale. Water…

Welcome @chicbuc Jody from Florida. Congrats for taking off those pounds and getting back into lifting and walking. Jealous of your cruises, take us with you, please? Lisa I so admire your yard work.

Gratitudes: Today: Barbie thanks for your faithful fresh start every month. Grateful I woke up able to move after yesterday’s burn-a-thon. ;) Tuesday: after 3 hours of lopping, bending over, picking up branches etc to feed the burn barrel I was wiped out. There were still three big branches poking up out, preventing me…

Today’s gratitude: Joe taking Tumble for a Harris Beach Campground walk by herself. He’s been taking Shadow and leaving Tumble heartbroken. It’s way past her turn. When he came back he commented on not smelling any bacon or coffee. Not many campfires. Lots of big, fancy, expensive rigs. Hmm. Margaret :love: your painting…

Gratitudes: Sunday: Shadow’s vigilance. Our neighbor was firing off his guns while I was lopping holly. Shadow gave a few warning barks, then positioned herself in the parking area so she could survey the scene while covering my back. What a good guard dog she it! Saturday: peaceful, quiet, uncramped home after…

Today’s gratitude: Joe made biscuits. Since I couldn’t resist, I savored every bite. ;} Sat with him and eventually he looked up from the laptop and talked to me.

Just heard back from Katla. “… [the eclipse] was amazing! We were lucky to have a blue sky and a good spot to watch the eclipse at my daughter’s place. … hummingbirds aren't here yet. They spend time in the South & I don't know when they'll come back to Illinois. ... I miss my fitness pal friends. I am focused on DH’s…

Today’s gratitude: adolescent and teen years in Ukiah where I could walk to school and ride my bike anywhere all summer. Took car in this morning to swap studded tires for standards. Instead of sitting bathed in tire scent, took walk. Soon as I got away from the highway the smells, sounds and sights really lifted my…
