[][/b]Barbie: Let me assure you you're doing fine at this stage of your new chapter. It takes time... Proud of myself for making it safely over 77 miles of snowy messy roads and crazy white out conditions at the 10k feet to arrive safely at Snow Mountain Ranch on Tabernash, CO. It normally is a 1.5 hours from my home but…

Happy Valentine's Lovely Ladies. Allie: I feel ya. My Reynaud's on feet and hands is a constant challenge, even inside the house. I hate to turn the thermostat higher so am wearing alpaca socks almost all the time. They are pricey, but very warm. Heather: Love, love, love the handmade Valentine cards. In the early days of…

Happy Sunday Funday. I'm a Ladybug. I love being surrounded with beauty, light and minimal stuff in the rooms. I've studied feng shui and try to keep chi energy flowing without impediments. But my closets and drawers could use more frequent overhauls. Ironically, just yesterday I came home from Costco with 4 new bins to…

Happy February Friends. I cry from grief. A mash up of feelings of loss + nostalgia from sweet memories. Barbie: Thanks for getting us started. You and Annie are adjusting and growing more every day. Proud of you. Carla: My sympathies to you and your family. Sue: Belated Happy Birthday. Debbie: Ditto what others have said…

Lanette I think there is definitely a link between ease of mobility and depression, dementia and longevity. My DH and DB both passed mere days after their legs totally gave out. It made a profound impression on me and fuels my desire to maintain mobility, posture and leg/hip strength. Machka: I am in awe with how well you…

Greeting from the frigid Rockies. It has snowed non stop for 24 hours and temps are below freezing and dropping. There was nothing urgent requiring my attention today so just spent the day with sports playing on my phone and my nose in a book. Our condo gym had a pipe burst so it's closed till repairs are done. Gah. I…

Very little snow here but bitterly cold even with abundant sunshine. I got some new alpaca clothing as a gift from N this Christmas and they are getting a good test every time I leave the house. Our 8th date was brief but fun: three consecutive days of sporting events which we thoroughly enjoyed. He got to see where I work…

Happy New Year and much love to you all! Barbie, Carol, Lisa and Allie: Extra hugs to you. Hope peace finds you and your families. I worked the hockey game last night. There were fireworks on the ice after the game, and as we walked out of the arena there were fireworks in the adjacent amusement park. Got home around 11 pm…

Barbie: Thinking of you often. The initial barrage of consolation caught me by surprise. But, it was the calls and visits that took place well after 30 days had passed that melted my heart. Two girlfriends each came from out of state to spend time with me at home, just as I was trying to adjust to the new normal. Hugs.…

(((Barbie))) My heart goes out to you. You are strong, but this is hard. We are here for you. <3

Thanks for sharing, Flea. I just watched with captions on and made it my own sing-a-long. Created a nice vibration inside me.

So sorry to read about the pain and stress many of you are going through. If Lynette would get the teleporter running again I would so come visit to lend a hand, give you a respite or just a big hug. Alas, the best I can do is hold you and your families in my heart and vibrate peaceful healing energy your way. Please take…

Hi Friends. Lanette: I have been getting chiropractic adjustments for over 30 years. My current one talks sports with me and I just close my eyes and breath through some of the difficult cracks. His wife is my massage therapist and I go directly from his table to her room for an hour of deep tissue work. I do this every 6…

Peace, love and healing vibes to all who need them. <3 No pressure or stresses here as long as Mars the Leash Loving Boss of the House gets his daily Cat Advent Calendar treat. He has a new squeeky catnip Santa toy stashed inside the Snoopy dog house, which he tugs on to our mutual enjoyment. Other than my usual daily…

Tracey: Your home holiday decor is just gorgeous. And, I'm impressed how you and Michaela got it done so quickly. I need you two here! Lanette: I just ordered the toothpaste with hydroxyapatite. By coincidence, I was at the dentist today for a new crown. There is no more major work on the horizon so we are going to focus…

I can attest to this! Thanks for sharing.

As promised, more details about my Thailand adventure. Put in spoiler, so feel free to skip if not interested. Rori Back home in Colorado Foothills

Hello from Phuket. I've tried to write a proper travelogue but too difficult on my phone. Will fill in more details once I'm home after the 3rd December. Meanwhile, this where I am now. Going to take a long swim soon as I post this. Google Phi Phi islands for a glimpse of where I went snorkeling. Truly amazing. Rori Living…

I love this, and had to live it during the past few days when N was here. He arrived Thursday afternoon and departed today. I had a cold the entire time and it was mortifying to have him see me all snotty, tired and hacking up gunk. But he was so sweet and took over caring for me and Mars. Every morning we lounged over…

Hi Friends. Snow is gone and the month is whizzing by. Barbara: Invited to Joe's man cave...that's wonderful! Vicki: I think of you often and hope you are taking all the time you need to recover. Tina: Glad your eye is getting better. Hope calmer, smoother, fire-free days ahead for you and your mister. Lisa: Good luck with…

And just like that, we went from mild autumn temps to 8 inches of snow. Leash-loving cat is not happy. Rori Colorado Foothills

Hello friends. Have finally caught up after falling behind by a week. Thank you all for the photos. Barbie: I'm glad to hear Jake is home and you have good medical facilities nearby. Allie: Awesome weight loss. Annie: Hope your gut issues stay calm. Same for your youngest, Rebecca. Kim: My tenant has been here 2 years and…

Rita: glad to hear you and the campground are okay!

Hello Friends. Have just spent over an hour catching up with your busy lives. Heather: Seeing your birthday photos brought back good memories of going to Shandiz with you and John. Glad you are getting out and about. Carol: Your grand daughter is lovely. How old now??? Lisa: That purse is gorgeous! Vicki: My heart hurts…

Heather: Happy birthday 🎂 Machka: Welcome home. Hope you got to relax. Who watched Rhody while you were travelling? Karen: GREAT to see you. Lanette: No, I never imagined my life would turn like it has after the years of being a carer, then the grief of losing DH and DB. I hope my story gives hope to others. Off to…

Vicki: I'm thrilled to hear you have a promising new employee, and congrats on the bath makeover. Heather: So very sorry to hear of your dear ones suffering. Michele: Big relief to hear from you. Glad you, family and your property are all okay. Our five days in Maine were lovely. N picked me up on Saturday night in Boston…

Hi all. Have caught up with reading but too tired to post. Barbie: I wish I lived closer so I could help with driving. Glad Jake found rides and procedure went well. Time to turn in. Rori Colorado Foothills
