Janet, you can never post too many pics of that cutie so share all you want. Glad you are resting. Karla, sorry you caught Glenn's crud. Hope it is over quickly and milder than what he had. Cindy, you know I just loved the book. You keep getting better. Another reason I am glad I met you. Now I can say I know a very…

Janet, just read an article that said you can freeze the peaches whole. Just wash and freeze on a tray. Then put in freezer bags. I think that would take up too much space so I am going to freeze them whole. Then slice them while still frozen and then put them in freezer bags. Peaches don't get very hard when frozen and…

Good Monday morning and happy 20th birthday to my granddaughter. Fun fact about her, she was born 8/8 and weighed 8lb 8oz, Edd's race number was 88 and when sh started racing dirt bikes they assigned her the number 88 (they did not know that was Edd's number). It was so nice being at the cabin that we stayed another day…

Good morning my lovelies! what a wonderful weekend we are having. Start d out a little rough because Edd made me mad, nothing big and I was over it by the time we got to the cabin because I wasn't going to let a small argument ruin our weekend. So all was forgiven quickly. We got up early on Friday and picked about 12…

HI all, Looks like it will be light posting here. Wishing everyone a delightful and fun weekend. Waiting for Edd to get done with a plumbing job and then we are out of here. Made it to the gym for circuit training, so feeling accomplished. Corn picking, cleaning and freezing tomorrow then just enjoying the sun, fun, water,…

Hi, Janet,mi hate the thought of you going through another surgery but would so love to see you have one less painful,issue to deal with daily. Will pray that a replacement will do the trick for you. Won't be long until you are hugging your dear friend and meeting her family. I bet the kids are going to have fun on those…

Hello again, what a great day. Ghostbusters was really good. I had heard some bad reviews but I never listen to them. I am a huge fan of the original and was not convinced that it could be redone. I am going to buy it when it comes out on DVD. I love all the actresses and they did not disappoint me. For me it had many knee…

Good afternoon busy ladies. I finally got "not bad news" at the dentist. In my mind, and I know Cindy will agree, there is never good news at the dentist. They removed the old crown, cleaned out the cavity that was under it and made a temporary crown. No root canal!!!! Go back in 3 weeks for permanent crown and hopefully…

Late stop. Nice day with mom, as always. Took her to the grocery and fixed her computer so she can see it better. She has not been on line in a month. I think she must have had a power outage and it reset the font to normal. I had to increase it to 250% for her to be able to read it comfortably. You should have seen the…

Quick stop before heading to Mom's so I can speak to Bert's question. Bert, is your brother on Medicare or Medicaid or private insurance? He would qualify for skilled care and home health aid services when he comes home. If at all possible contact the social services or case management department at the hospital. They are…

Home from the cabin after dropping off son's dogs. Another fine weekend with those I love. Chops did not turn out. But I saved face with some stuffed Hungarian wax peppers and a Mexican corn salad. Taking mom to the grocery and spending the day with her tomorrow. Tuesday I will be getting the tooth fixed and then going to…

It is another beautiful day at the cabin. Just me, Edd and 3 dogs. The neighbor's have a full house of their son's family, friends and grandkids. We are planning a communal meal tonight. I want to try the brined pork chops recipe from my new cookbook. May even whip up some sort of peach dessert. Wasn't thrilled with last…

It's Friday so we are headed to the river. No company expected but that doesn't mean we won't have some. Cooler temps and some rain expected. One of the neighbor's invited us for dinner Saturday night but she is a bit of a flake and I won't hold my breath that she will actually come thru. There are always burgers in the…

Back from a brutal session at the gym. The trainer was on vacation last week and has come back with a vengeance, lol. I had a river of sweat running all over my body. So now I need to really start pouring down the water. Now getting laundry done all the towels and bedding from the cabin plus my regular loads. Thinking…

Good morning, and welcome to the rain we are supposed to get today. Things are pretty dry around here. Cindy, I know what you mean about watching our parents become older and less themselves. Sounds like you are making yourself a priority. Every day is a victory when you do something for yourself. I am still going to the…

Getting ready to have lunch with the girls, then Costco run followed by grocery shopping. My GF with the cancer is hysterically funny and her husband is very droll. He calls our lunch dates and other get togethers "pity" invites. She tells him he is just jealous because he has no friends! Humor and love are getting her…

Good afternoon dear friends, Karla, I know you are sad to leave but I also know you are anxious to get back to your home and family, Cindy, no matter what be kind to,yourself. I have over up,a size and am not happy about it, but am also unwilling to be uncomfortable in my clothes. The weight will come off once we focus on…

Mary Lynn, reading your posts always puts me in the best place. You string words together with such beauty and kindness. I wish I had that gift. I am more along the lines of a comedy writer, lol. Karla, this trip seems to have refreshed your soul. Thanks for sharing your pics so we can all be jealous! Janet, I know I can…

Hoping everyone is happy and healthy. We are leaving shortly to go see our friend. She amazes me with how adventurous she is, her husband passing last year has not slowed her down a bit. They were always on the move and traveling the globe. She will be going to CO the first of August to spend time with her daughter and her…

Home from a wonderful weekend shared with friends and much time spent in the water, only way to tolerate the heat and humidity. Having the extra day was nice. We are talking about going for another week very soon. Made some awesome grilled chicken breasts and tasty garlic green beans. I used my new grill cookbook's advice…

River report, I love this time of day. Everyone is still asleep and it is just me and Frankie on the deck. The fog is just starting to lift and I am barely able to see the opposite shore. It is a magical, mystical time of day that can make you believe in miracles. Some of the best photos I have ever taken were in the mist,…

Karla, impressive weight loss. Enjoy your reunion. Janet, I will pray that your new foot/ankle specialist can do something amazing for you. Stay in and stay cool. This weekend is going to be a scorcher for sure. Bert, so excited for your opening night. I love Hairspray. Maybe Janet and I can take a road trip one day to…

Good morning, Bert, you work so hard for all these productions. Hope you are well and truly appreciated by the congregation and the church. I hope the move goes smoothly for your brother. Still sending prayers for him. Janet, at least your Dr listened and came up with a plan that you both can agree about. I pray this combo…

Good Wednesday morning to one and all. Karla, you are rocking it on the scales. I am ready to get back to tracking, but cannot and will not start the scale obsession. I would rather go by my measurements. They are much more telling than the scale. My scale doesn't have to wear my clothes, lol. You will have a blast at your…

Janet, I was only teasing about the picture. I have no illusions about how I look, and that is best from afar, lol. But one thing I do know is seeing you looking so gorgeous and happy was worth the selfie! Myra, just eating healthy is it's own reward. Good for you for not putting extra pressure on yourself. Are your girls…

Morning ladies, still smiling from my lunch with Janet. And I did not die from the selfie but sure not liking how I look next to her beautiful self. Off to see Mom and take her the fresh eggs, berries and corn. Today is going to be the coolest for a while. Going to see if she wants a convertible ride. Will be back later.…

Quick morning check in, huge storms with lots of thunder and lightening swept through this morning, so now it will be clear, top-down sailing to meet Janet. She is already shopping, I am sure. The tiny eggs were just what I needed for breakfast. So cute in their "petiteness". Not sure when my GF starts radiation. She has…

Home again, home again...... We had a wonderful weekend, as always. Spent a lot of time in and on the water. My friends who live near my cabin, brought me fresh wild blackberries, home grown jalapeños and Hungarian hot wax peppers, plus 18 of the cutest little brown eggs. They have 11 chickens and they just started laying…

Quick and happy hello, gym then off to the cabin. Planning a huge bonfire and "people of the road" get together Saturday nite. Confess that I forgot to plan food for the weekend. Will stop at the farm stand on the way down to pick up some fresh produce. Have lots of meat in the freezer there so will make it work. There…

Karla, so sorry to hear about Glenn's fistula not being healed. I know he must be really upset, he has been thru so much with it. Maybe he needs a specialist in perirectal or plastic surgery. I can totally empathize on the dental woes. I still need to call and schedule appointment to see what is next for me. So dreading…
