  • Finally home! (sat. Night) Traffic was a nightmare and the trip took almost 12hrs. when it is usually about eight. I 95 was one stand still after another. I have my own computer and ipad again. Lots of reading done, mostly skimmed. Loved all the pics. I will be on MFP three years come Jan. Well, the one week vacation…
  • Wow, I've gotten my hands on the iPad two days in a row!!! Some rain overnight but gorgeous outside now, we have been truly lucky on the weather here. Dinner last night was amazing, both dd and I were very impressed with the food....and yes, brought half back here for lunch today......she had evoo and garlic pasta and I…
  • Hello everyone and thanks to Barbie for getting Aug. started for us! DD and I are still on our "accidentally" extended vacation; expect car to be ready by end of this week. Missing DH and home. We used the extra time and the free rental car to go and do........some places with no cell phone/computer service. Did you know…
  • Hello,all.........sharing iPad with dd, quick stop in as I don't get it much. HappyBirthday and Anniversary to Sylvia and Gayle. Have read or skimmed a bit most days, loved all the pics.....plants, birds, people. Car was sideswiped when I was at window (out of car) checking in to a camping place by a big truck hauling a…
  • Good thoughts to Michele and Vince. Have read all and have sent the remainder of you all appropriate ( I promise!!!) mental messages as I read because I am so short on time. Been very steady here, not quite hectic......right now I'm between the luncheon/memorial service for my elderly friend and a dinner/concert. I did get…
  • Busy couple days. Race last night. Dr. appt this am an hour away for mammo and three D breast ultrasounds that my Gyn ordered, no special reason other than "dense breasts"......that will not be my favorite procedure ever for sure. Not happy about the fact that when I walked in the room for the three D procedure there were…
  • Hi, everyone! Happy Monday! According to DD the wedding she attended was very nice; a very small one, maybe 25 people, almost entirely relatives of either the bride or groom. It was held at a historic (1888) mansion. The bride's father married them and her mother gave her away. Sounds lovely but she didn't take enough…
  • Becca........Love the pictures. I learned to drive on a huge 49 Chevy. Tulipor........I've been on Amtrak several times; down the east coast to Fl., Detroit to Chicago, east coast to west coast, and Va. to Philadelphia.........always, always enjoyable. I envy you your trip. and your destination. Will you be anywhere near…
  • Good afternoon, everyone! Brunch was Golden Corral with the bunch from the gym.......this am only me and three older men. I just got off the phone with one of them; he had been talking of an old buddy he lost track of and I was successful tracking him down in another state. I can't do anything fancy on the computer but I…
  • Lisa.......I had my DD fingerprinted as a three year old; we also had a "secret" password if anyone other than me picked her up. The printing was a public service offered by the local police dept. The only record was given to me; she was in no "system"; or at least she wasn't until she started working for the city as a…
  • A day of thunder and lightening but almost no rain here. DD had more than her share of heavy rain on the parking lot that is otherwise known as I-95. She should be checking in to her hotel in Fredrick about now judging from the last call and may actually make the dinner at 6pm on time.......the girl never leaves much…

  • Oh, DARN, blink and it takes two hours reading to catch up!!!! TEN pages, some I confess to just scanning. I've had a few days of extreme busyness........Tues., one long evening meeting, Wed., the first of our running club summer evening fun runs (I did set up, registration, and served food), still carting the friend with…
  • Yep.........another less than stellar night of sleep........giving up and taking a Valium shortly. Michele...........SUPER plank time; WTG!!! Two minutes just about kill me and you're at almost three! Kim.........How wonderful that your mom has paid off your business loan and that she might be realizing how unequal her…
  • Blueberry picking this am; in the rows by 7am. Then errands and grocery store and home. Made a new baked chicken dish tonight with cheese and spinach, just OK. Had a bit of rain this afternoon. I think the sinus/allergy thing that everyone else in the house has been c/o has hit me a little. Margaret........I adore hostas;…

Really?? 7pm. Go USA!! Katla and Mary........Sounds like you both had excellent holidays! Lisa......"Even I don't sweat…
  • Good morning.......bed at 12:30am and up since shortly after 4am; I'll tell you, those nights of good sleep are few and far between. I do like the quiet of the early morning alone though. Swept kitchen floor, did some other chores, read newspaper, when light enough did deadheading and cleaned and refilled the hummer…

  • Mia.........WOW!!! Just WOW!!!! You look fab-u-lous!!!! To the person who asked about what we drink........I drink decaf tea or ice water at home and I do count it toward my cup per day goal. I drink decaf coffee when I'm eating out. I don't use sugar in either tea or coffee. I do have one cup of hot chocolate per day…
  • Terri...........now I have It's Raining Men stuck in my head!!! Hope your RA subsides. I hear you on the "not buying what he was supposed to" part.
  • Hi. everyone, thunder all around but only one ten second downpour, hardly worth it. We could use a bit of rain. Temp not bad at mid-80's but humidity is awful. Picked up some groceries for Goldy and a shower chair I found at local thrift store, then a few other errands she needed done. Traffic is a nightmare out there. In…
  • Good morning. Forgot to thank Barbie for the new thread last night........so.......Thank You, you are the best!

I've had the "hungries" the past few days; done OK .....BUT.... today I sent DH to store for three items........he came home with thirty, including 3 boxes of biscotti and three huge candy bars of types I…
  • Good evening to all. Life has calmed down a bit as Goldy's son has arrived from out of state to help. I made it to yoga this am; had to leave to splash some water on myself as I was drenched in sweat half way through and a bit lightheaded. Finished up with the class after a short rest in some ac. It was HOT and humid in…
  • Busy, busy. Quick note, spent most of the day with Goldy again.......ortho specialist for feet (two weeks in a boot, then recheck and may need a pin if not healing), medical supply place, dmv for handicap tag (took FOREVER)........etc. etc. etc. Six plus hours running around.
