Chris, don't you usually take your kids to that? Maybe I am just old. You are a super woman for sure. Worked upper body tonight. It was great. Worked on my tanks today. They are starting to look better. Only downside is it is time consuming. Oh well. And the bacteria smells like a pea trap gone dry. And it is a bit…

Some of the gravel/crushed concrete. I do believe I am almost free of the dinoflagellates that have been infesting my aquarium. A combination of using a 3D printed uv sand/gravel sterilizer. And a mixture of several bacteria strains. Stinks 😷 like sewer for an hour. But it is working after only 3 days. I might even enjoy…

Chris at least the birthdays are done for a year now. I still smile every time I hear you talk about cleaning before your house keeper arrives. And how nice to pass outgrown items to her. That should have been of gravel. lol Kathy I hope they figure this out soon. I am so sorry you are suffering so. Rocky giving Libby a…

Chris I bet they are having fun. And you were able to sleep in. Bonus! Playing in sawdust sounds more fun than it is. That stuff gets in everything. Your ears and eyes are the worst. Little cooler today. HOA meeting. Then Rocky moved 6 dump trucks worth og gravel around with a skidster. Got some work on our tank done also.…

It is messy. I can't seem to post a video. Shelley

Chris it has been hot here also. I hate working in the heat. Here is a little of what we have been doing. There are exactly 100 boards. The top board is so pretty. Wish more were like it. I think if I remember correctly we have run them through 6 times so far. Cuts 1/8 inch off at a time. Shelley

Kathy I hope the doctor finds something to help you. I am so bummed for you. Chris you did tell us she was moving. I know it must be hard on you. And on her. To move and leave everything and everyone behind will be tough on her also. This is so sad. I have been so busy. Working on the mountain cabin. Will tell you more…

Kathy great month! You are doing awesome. If you think of eating something you really don't want to……do something you enjoy instead. Have fun. Happy Birthday Ron!! Chris I can't believe you told a little white lie! 🤪 12 pounds is great. I should get someone to take a photo of me bench pressing. That would be fun. Barney…

Kathy 😟 oh no. I don't know where to begin. I know I would be devastated if I couldn't lift. So can relate. But the pain would be awful. 😞 I sure hope the doctor can help. Did this pain come on suddenly? I just read that leaning forward should help relieve some of the discomfort. Chris I love snapdragons. But if I don't…

Chris caring for little ones is a real job! You are both saints. I dug up some plants I no longer wanted. Then weededand dug up snapdragons for another hour. Shelley

Hi Mike. I am Shelley. My best thoughts are as follows. Track what you eat for awhile. Know what you're really eating and cut something. Don't mindlessly eat. And never, never tell yourself that you can eat more since you worked out! Or since you haven't eaten much today. My next favorite works for all addictions. Stop…

Good for you Chris. Got to push ourselves or we will become mush. Here is his hand. He has limited pain actually. Chris I am in pain now from Thursdays workout. Our YMCA needs more handweights for women. I pushed myself with larger weights. There were not enough smaller ones. Side raises were okay when doing 10 rep sets.…

Been hitting the gym lots. Yoga on off days to recharge. Rocky had surgery on his hand yesterday. So I got to mow the lawn. 😠 He is recovering nicely. Yoga tomorrow. Then taking a 40 pound bucket of salt to the vet clinic. Also some mollies to add to their tank. Hope they do well. Kathy keep lifting heavier! Chris how are…

We worked on our gazebo some more. Not sure if I posted a photo. not done but so close

A few more photos I really enjoyed the time spent with my friends. These are 2 of the gals that workout with me at the YMCA Shelley

Kathy so glad you pushed out of your comfort zone. 8 pounds, way to go. So glad you're able to spend time with your nieces. Children keep you young. Beautiful girls. And wonderful to think of their brothers. Paula is having internet issues. Chris glad you got in all that walking. You inspire me. I went hiking with friends…

Chris I can't imagine a book store that you couldn't walk around in under 10 minutes. Amazing. Paula take care of yourself. Maybe have a doctor look at you again. I am glad the boots helped. Off to yoga this morning. Shelley

Our neighbors house was built to close to my property line. But It doesn't bother me. They are quiet and we respect their privacy. Who knows. Might enclose that side of the pergola to give us both more privacy someday. On the one side with the clematis plants we are putting in a new trellis for them. And adding birdhouses.…

I was so tired last night must've not saved my post. Paula you should be stoked. You are doing wonderful. And now you are no longer on maintenance mode you will see results. Onderland! Has a nice ring to it. No my legs did not feel it. I do leg workouts regularly. Chris so happy hubby walked with you. Any thoughts about…

Chris it is hard to remember to do doctor ordered exercises. So boring! Working out alone is boring too. Paula I smiled fondly at your comments about getting out of 205 ect. You can do this. Kathy I hope you're still working out with your friends. I will need that 10 pound dumbbell when I visit you know. Wink Here are a…

Kathy I would love to build you a gazebo. I think not having tools would be a problem. I still am going to make it there. Rocky is needing me now. Keep working out. Paula thanks. It was scary. I would love you to post just a little of Derek playing. Chris sounds like fun. I keep falling asleep typing and it gets removed!…

Also my bff just had a deck built onto their home. They wanted it to replace an older very small one. New one is covered. Lage nd tastefully done. They have a viewof the mountain from it. It was around 30,000. I remember my mos first home costing ess. And it was in Florida. wow. The cover is several panes of some plastic…

Kathy and Chris thanks for the well wishes. She is still improving. Kathy a pajama party! That sounds so fun. I would have loved some photos. Pillow fight? Well anyway way to have fun. Chris so far the meds are helping him slowly. He hates shots so I administer them to him. Great walk. My son and his family camped at the…

I have been trying to log in. I drove to Spokane Wa for a week. Then when I returned I had trouble logging in. My mom had a stroke. Then in hospital she had two small heart attacks. The stroke was caused by a clot. She is as well as she can be. Long drive and glad to be home. Paula I think the medication is helping Rocky…

Kathy love it. I keep lifting weights. My shoulder hates me for it. But I keep at it. Thanks

Paula I agree. And hope that he is progressing rapidly. They deserve some good news. Kathy I want to know where the month went as well. I have ate poorly way to often. Going to finish the month off well. Chris so glad you are getting your walks in. Yoga in the morning. Maybe some weeding after that. Shelley

Paula thank you for the update for Karen. I have kept them in my thoughts. I read everything you all have posted. And giggled quite a bit. We have been clearing more trees from our property and working on the cabin. I have been exhausted. Kathy glad you are doing better and working out again. Did your AC get fixed? Chris I…

Swamp water, is that code for coffee? lol. Today we had lunch with friends and a quiet father's day. Pulled some weeds. But it was hot outside. Came inside and did nothing. Tomorrow is Yoga. I should take Libby for a short bike ride. Shelley

Chris that is soooo much coffee. Is there a coffee drinker award? Who drinks the most? You won hands down. So where is daddy duck? They usually stay together, right? Chris thanks, I love the arch. And look forward to seeing DDD perform. Paula I don't think there was enough lady bugs to save that tree. In 26 years it is the…

Kathy glad you are feeling a bit more like yourself. Start with some stretching to keep in the habit of working out. Chris that concert sounds amazing. Paula that iris might as well have been the one I gave you. So beautiful. Well I am going broke keeping up with everything here. Asuna was $350. Taxes on both properties.…
