Janet, so honored to be among those you call friend. I feel the same about you. I will happily share what I have learned about peaches. Speaking of peaches, I am finally done! Ended up with 10 quarts, 2 gallons, 3 pies and 4 cups of peach syrup that will be used in sangria. All this from about 40 pounds of peaches. Going…

Happy Thursday, we missed most of the storms last night, just some much needed rain. Off to the gym for circuit training this am then TRX tonight. In between I wil finish the peaches and get some salads put together for dinner. Then start packing for the weekend. Wil be leaving tomorrow afternoon for the cabin. Bert, I am…

Evening check in, grocery shopping and haircut done. Followed by working on the peaches. Still have about 28 peaches to go. Want to make some peach syrup but need fresh lemons, which I will need to buy tomorrow. I got 10 quarts plus 3 pies from about 30 pounds of peaches. Would have made more pies but I only have 3 pie…

Good day all, Feeling great, can't even tell I had the tooth pulled, no pain or swelling. Today I need to get groceries and then get my hair done. The peaches are ripe already so tonight I will be prepping and freezing about 35 pounds. Of course I will keep out a few to eat now. They are just so sweet and juicy! Janet, I…

The tooth is out! Not sure exactly what they gave me, probably versed, but I remember the Dr starting my IV and saying "here's a little something to help you relax". The next thing they were walking me to the car. Edd said I asked him 4 times on the 40 minute ride home how long he had to wait on me. I only remembered once,…

Good Monday morning, missing sitting on my deck having coffee with the birds. Looking forward to seeing Mom later, after I go get peaches. Bert, great pics from Mike's surprise party. Sounds like you had good help and I bet he was thrilled. Karla, I would love to see a video of your dance number. What fun. How goes the…

Hello everyone, Home and relaxing a bit. It was a rainy but wonderful week. We also did some work this weekend clearing our beach. I have to confess that I did not get any exercise in. Too many people, too much rain. Had a wonderful time with Susie, just way too short. We took her on 3 boat rides and had lots of talking…

Quick drive by. We have been having a wonderful time despite daily rain. This is the first morning I have been alone on my porch and probably the only one I will get this trip. My daughter is on her way here now, staying just a day but I will revel in whatever time we have together. Today is also our 29th wedding…

Good Friday morning and beginning of the long weekend. I am got a great workout at TRX last night and the trainer, actually her husband, had 2 workouts written up for me to use next week. So now I feel like if I don't do at least one TRX workout next week their efforts were wasted. It was raining when I got up but now the…

Karla, i saw that. Guess it was wishful thinking on my part that was getting my tooth pulled that day too but it is a week from Tuesday. All I can say is hope I don't need a twelve step program to get off the ambesol, lol Patti

Suzi, I thought I heard about severe storms in OKC, must have misheard. Glad you don't have any to worry about. Enjoy your sailing fireworks. Cindy, so love when I can do something for my mom that brings back good memories. When I spend time with her we spend most of the time reminiscing. We both enjoy sharing our…

Lunch with my GFs and Dory was a great time. I enjoy the previews as much as the movies. Next on our list is The Secret Life of Pets and BFG. Edd decided he wanted to go to the cabin tomorrow instead of Friday afternoon. That changed my whole timeline to get things done. I told him I wanted to wait until after my class,…

Bert, many prayers for your brother. Even when we grow apart that bond remains in some form. Patti

Hi all, Cindy, ever busy, ever juggling and always so gracious trying to make everyone happy. I will gladly share your FB post. I just hope you actually get some down time on your vacay! Suzi, I love fireworks on the water. What a wonderful bonus to be able to view more than one. Our little town at the cabin usually does a…

Good day all, Cindy, I think that 20 minutes was more beneficial than a walk for you at this point. Karla, hope all goes well with your neuro and your dentist Janet, hope you are laying low and recovering from your procedures Off to Mom's, then TRX. May get a short trip in to the grocery. Supposed to go see Dory tomorrow.…

Here is an interesting article from Shape magazine: SHOULD YOU TRIM YOUR LEAN ROUTINE .....researchers at Hunter College found that moderately active people-those who work out 3 to 4 times per week and get in their steps every day-burn about the same daily calories (up to 2600) as people doing a greater amount of activity.…

Good Monday morning, we had storms last night so hope that helps with the humidity. It has been brutal all weekend. Lots of shopping today, need a few things at a lot of different stores plus groceries. Wish I could win a year's worth of Blue Apron, lol. My GF with cancer is getting 3 meals for 2 a week, one of her out of…

Home and beat! Here is the short report Bad news: can't get tooth extraction until July 12th , then have to wait at least 3 weeks before they can fix the tooth causing the pain. Good news: this is the last you will hear about. In the grand scheme of things it is just occasional pain. My BFF has cancer and is facing it with…

Karla, I love the "gray striptease" and I am going to share it with my hairdresser. She will get a big kick out of it. On Fridays at the salon all the blue hairs come in for their weekly wash and set. My hairdresser calls it "roller derby". I am going next Wed to see Dory with my GFs. I have seen more movies in the last…

Janet, you do sound refresh d from your trip despite the a/c issue. I Aren't golf carts fun. Everyone on our road at the cabin has one, it is our main source of transportation once we get there and park the car! Keeping my fingers crossed that the car dealership will do the right thing and cut you a break on getting your…

Here we are again, another day with mostly good reports and lots of smiles. Love seeing you all each morning. Janet, so glad to have you back. You poor thing, I know how much you hate the heat too. Hope it is quickly and I expensively fixed. I know you were in your heaven these past days. Can't wait to hear the details.…

Good afternoon, just got back from 2 hours at the gym with my GF, followed by a trip to Jimmy Johns. I tracked it but it wasn't pretty. I was starved! The classes were Zumba, taught by a Hyper Latino gal who never stops smiling, which makes you forgive her for her high energy, lol. Followed by 45 minutes of light aerobics,…

Mary Lynn, you are definitely a force to be reckoned with. And you are reaping double benefits from all your hard work. Suzi, what a cutie Dean is. I bet you are having so. Ugh fun. Karla, sorry you had to go through all that but hope the treatment makes a difference. I cannot get in to the oral surgeon any earlier. If I…

Good luck Karla and good job. My sister got here Sunday. Mom left me a voicemail yesterday when my sister went out to get a bottle of whiskey. My sister is supposedly a recovered drug addict and should not be drinking, not my circus, not my monkey. Mom called me again last night from her bedroom and as whispering so my…

Lots to do today. No pain since last night. There are few oral surgeons in my network in this area. The one I need to see is only this office on wed and Friday's. The visit this Friday is for eval only, then need to schedule appointment for extraction. Then can make appointment to have the bad tooth fixed. It is the last…

Back from the river and it looks like everyone took a break from the computer. Hopefully all have enjoyed their weekend as much as I have. I did work pretty hard Friday night and and Saturday morning, about 8 hours all together. But my DIL and I really got a lot done. Wedding Saturday was very strange but the newlyweds…

Quick stop before I head out to the gym. Then leaving immediately for,the cabin, was able to order the food processor, that Macy's has on sale for one day, on line with free shipping. It was only $64 with tax for an 8 cup, I have never had one and will use my birthday money from Mom. Have a great weekend, doubt I will…

Janet, I am getting so excited for your trip. I bet if you promise to stop frequently and walk around for a few minutes she will agree. It has been a long day already, especially with so little sleep. Dental office said to come in at 10:30, so I skipped the gym to sit for an hour at the dentist before being seen. Plus…

Had a very miserable night due to severe tooth pain. It had not hurt in a few days so thought I would be good until I saw the oral surgeon. It took several applications of ambesol and a pain pill to get back to sleep only to be shocked awake 3 hours later with even worse pain. All I could do was the ambesol. It eventually…

Had a great lunch with my girls. Light Chinese chicken salad was undone by the birthday hot fudge Sunday courtesy of the restaurant. Wish they would have given me a small slice of cheesecake. I would have brought that home to Edd, as I don't care for cheesecake. Luckily the Sunday was served in a small coffee cup....I ate…
