Happy Spring! It's finally here. :flowerforyou: I took a little walk down memory lane this morning in my blog post. I lost my first husband to suicide. This is part of the reason why "constant kindness" is becoming so important to me now. I've put a link this time instead of copy/pasting. Feel free to read if you like.…

Kayzoola, I haven't heard of "evening-scented" stocks, I'll have to research. I usually grow the Giant Imperials, but last year I tried a small varitey that I didn't like as well. The Giants have a lovely scent, morning through night, ahhhh, bliss! :love: Tammy, in regards to "Work out more, eat less/more nutritious. A…

Good morning, happy Tues-good-news-day! The good news is I'll be able to get back to my normal routine today, feel very well rested. Little Timber slept happily next to me, all through the night, but he did growl once when I turned over and touched him with my foot :huh: Michele, the star magnolia drops all of its flowers…

I'm pooped this evening :yawn: after having house guests yesterday, and 2 birthday parties, whew. Bed will feel mighty good tonight. :wink: Someone was mentioning a star magnolia tree the other day, Michele maybe? I just took this pic of the one in my back yard, and a closeup of a single flower. They're lightly scented,…

No more partying for me, had enough over the weekend with 2 birthday celebrations :drinker: and we still have house guests, they're busy snoozing away in the next room as I sit here, waking up, wishing I was still in bed :yawn: My little terrier was a bit upset with the sleeping arrangements last…

Great pics Sylvia, wowwwwwwwwww!! You've done an amazing job!!! The pics don't show you standing on your head, though. :smile: Uh, where'd they go? I saw the pics a minute ago! I'm having major issues with Photobucket tonight, too. :grumble: Maybe I'll go to bed and try again in the morning! :smile: jb

I've tried 3 times to resize a pic in Photobucket to post here, but it's just not cooperating. :sad: Back to the drawing board :grumble: :smile: jb

Thanks everyone for your condolences. :flowerforyou: Tuesday good-news-day...in the wake of sadness over my uncle's passing, one of my nieces gave birth to a brand new baby boy yesterday afternoon. Life is something! Such a circle, sometimes a revolving door!! YannieJannie, we had a Corvair, too - fun car until the engine…

Monday, Monday. :brokenheart: My dear uncle passed away this weekend, so yesterday was a sad day for my whole family. I had a lump in my throat and a knot in my stomach which turned into a headache by afternoon. Hours spent on the phone, memories, memories. He was 91, hadn't been in very good health for the last few years,…

Rainy Sunday, I'll be cleaning, cooking, walking dogs, and doing some work in the recording studio. If it's not pouring, maybe I'll buzz around the track a few times and work up a good sweat. :bigsmile: I'm taking a few minutes to realize Friday and Saturday are overwith, time to get back on the less-eating plan. I had fun…

Hi everyone, Wanted to share my blog post from this morning, stating my goals for March, and for the rest of my life :smile: Ants in the Pants Spring's coming. Ants are finding their way indoors, happens every March. When a stray one crawls across my hand at night in bed, though, ugh. No likey. The least they could do is…

I used one few times while at work teaching guitar. But one day, as I was getting ready to sit, guitar in hand, the heel of my foot hit the ball, which of course went rolling backwards, and down I went. No more ball-sitting for me. It was good while it lasted :)

<--- I've been trying to read and catch up! :bigsmile: This is the middle of Week 3 following my new set of "rules". The scale is finally behaving itself on a regular basis, going down a bit each week. I just had to get serious, no more goofing around....but I'm a master at goofing around, :laugh: so this has been an…

Good morning, thanks for your congrats and comments. Renny, good problem solving points! .. Identifying the problem: I had been eating too much. Deciding what to do about it: Eat less. Do I have control over the problem? YES. Assume nothing: Correct. I assumed I'd maintain or even lose by eating back exercise calories…

Good morning! Oh my gosh Barbie, you look simply smashing! :love: What a fun thing dancing is. Lightens the bod, lightens the spirit! :bigsmile: ElizabethAnne, :flowerforyou: the "bar" at the bottom of people's posts is called a "ticker" which you can set up by clicking on APPS in the blue bar at the top of the page, then…

Hi there, happy Sunday morning. I have to tell you about what prompted the fire extinguisher gift. :smile: Two weeks ago Red and I were busy in the yard, weeding and pruning, and moving wheelbarrow loads of manure into our flower beds. It was a nice sunny afternoon. We had been outside for an hour or so when I needed to go…

HI! :heart: Happy Valentine's Day! :heart: My hubby, Red, gave me a fire extinguisher for a gift today, :huh: with a homemade card (on a sticky note LOL) that said, "Because you're so HOT" :laugh: I'm so sorry I haven't had time to keep up with all of you wonderful ladies, but I continue to wish you well. :flowerforyou:…

Good morning from snow-covered Portland, there's a good 6" on the ground. :noway: I spent a good part of yesterday shoveling walkways and knocking snow out of about 35 emerald green arborvitae (evergreens) in our yard, I knew once the snow turned to rain & ice, the branches would start breaking from the weight. Must have…

Same here, MA! I was noticing today how my dogs have the unattractive odor of a murky, shallow fish pond. :sick: Bath time for them tomorrow! :smile: jb in Portland

Good evening, I tried to write 3 times today but the doggon phone kept ringing :huh: and I had to answer, since it was a few of my students needing to reschedule their lessons. I did have "fun" with the manure, lol. Lots of hard work, but Red and I got it all moved and spread around the yard, looks spiffy! We'll be…
-
Good morning, I just have a few minutes - a very large truckload of manure is scheduled to arrive this morning and be deposited in our driveway. Red and I are busy getting the gardens ready for spring, every few years we add a considerable amount of fertilizer. Many wheelbarrow loads and lots of shoveling in my future…

Hi there! Is is really February already? Yikes! What happened to January? Zooooooooom, time flies. My life has been something else lately, and I do mean busssy! I've taken on quite a few more music students which is of course a great thing, but I find my free time is now next to nil. That's ok, though, I'll manage somehow!…

Hiya! I turned 59 in Oct., and have been on MFP for a little over 3 years. I lost 65 lbs in about 18 months, then sort of stalled out, gained a few, and would like to drop another 10. I've increased exercise over time, but have also increased calories which obviously isn't working. I burn 300-500 cals most days, walking…
