Gals, thanks for the welcome back. I can tell I’ve missed lots since I’ve been gone. It’s good to see postings from people I remember and look forward to getting to know the new gals. I’m at the Cancer Institute with my sister. She is having a bunch of labs and scans. Hopefully we will be able to go home tomorrow and come…

I got back to NW WA last night. Ella and I came home almost two months early because my sister has some medical appointments. I am so far behind but will gradually catch up. Hope everyone had a good spring and is enjoying summer. I had a good time and am glad to be home. I plan to rest up. Betsy in NW WA

Tracey, Loved your story. Smiling thinking of the overnight.. And Lisa I am with you, I wouldn't ever want to go through those young teen years again. Lanette, WOW... exciting and like the attitude if it's meant to be, it will work out. Machka that rash looks so angry and raw. Good luck with figuring out how to deal with…

Got home yesterday from a long week in AK. Totally fell off healthy habits and as a result feel crummy. My brother in law stepped up to help for the next 10 days. I'll get things in order here in WA for closing the house for the summer. My sister wants to spend as much time as possible at our summer camp in Alaska. Hope to…

Flea just wondering how your DH's new job is working out. It sounded when you wrote that it might be something just up his alley. Darn, I did goof up and owe taxes this year. I was okay on 2022 taxes because I could file married filing jointly. I changed all my withholding for 2023 so I wouldn't owe and still owed because…

Kelly love that spaceship and that the little girl laughed when she saw it. Barbie, I'm also sitting at my table, reading every word and most often not writing much. Thanks for starting a new thread every month. When you do write I enjoy reading about how well you have made your life work for you.. (((April))) I think I…

The last two days I have been outside in the yard, raking and weeding. I've begun to clean out the storage shed in the back yard and I'm finding all kinds of stuff I didn't even know I had. Clam shovels and 4 snow shovels and baseball bats ..... etc. Yikes I have to figure out how to pass these on. I don't think the thrift…

I wrote a long post this morning and somehow sent the whole thing off in cyberspace and can't find it. GRR! I just wanted to tell you how much the hugs and the understanding meant to me. Thank you Betsy in NW WA

I've been reading every morning and thought of you all as I went through my days. Yesterday my sister and I finished our appointments at the cancer center and she and I are both totally exhausted. She traveled home to Alaska and I'm back in NW WA. I thought I would sleep well last night but my brain wouldn't shut off.…

Annie, I am with you. The news is depressing to me. I find I'm better off if I limit news to half an hour of local news and a half hour of one of the network world and national news. I record the news and on play back decide what I watch and fast forward through most of it. Friends tell me that I'm a bit irresponsible by…

Back home and feels so right. Missing my GD and family but am home with my girl, Ella. The quiet in my house feeds my soul. I'm maybe getting too used to my routines and comforts. What strikes me is I left Wasilla and the outside temp was -32* F.... When I got home early afternoon yesterday the outside temp was+51*. I…

A new month. Thank you Barbi. Betsy in Wasilla.
