Happy Saturday everybody! We went to the Y this morning, hubby did laps and I did the machines (the pool was too crowded for me). Then we went home and started decluttering. We hauled three big tubs of junk to recycling, along with a bunch more clothes and some coats I have gotten too small for. It's so hard to part with…

Good news on two fronts today. My sons thing went well. He thinks they will only keep him through the weekend to stabilize him and get him back on his infusion meds. Whoever posted the suggestion about the alarm, that is a great idea. I'll see if that has been considered. The kids are safely at their mom's tonight. (The…

Yesterday afternoon the doctor's office called to say that yes, indeed, I do have arthritis in both hips and my lower back. (Like I didn't know that!?) They called in a prescription for an anti inflammatory. (Meloxicam) I started taking it this morning, but there's no joy yet. I was hoping to hear choirs of angels singing…

My son called today to say that they called the new pulmonologist (the one he has an appointment with on the 19th) and begged them for an earlier appointment, so he's going there (to Joplin) tomorrow at 10:30. He believes that he will be admitted to the hospital, so he's making arrangements for the kids. I'm picking them…

Mary, that woman needs to be slapped. Or treated the same way she treated that precious puppy. If the vet keeps her on then that behavior is being approved of, and you need a different vet. I had a trainer be mean to my puppy (Molly) one time - JUST ONE - and it totally changed her personality. After 9 years she still…

This is my new computer bag, for anybody interested.

Chris, I love the lobster trap tree! Very creative. I'm so proud of myself for sticking up for myself today. I called the clay store and told them the problem, that they had given me the wrong color stain, and she said, well that's the color in the box so it must be right. She said if I'm not happy I have to bring it back…

Good morning ladies! I had my xray this morning right after I dropped the kids off at schoool. Then came to the studio. I'm waiting for one of my clay suppliers to open so I can call and chew them out for giving me the wrong color stain. This stuff is $30 per pound, so I sure don't want to eat the cost and just re-order…

A little something for you cat people.

OK, I did it. I went to the doctor to see about my hips. She is sending me to the hospital for xrays in the morning and told me NO ZUMBA till they find out what' going on. That's OK with me. Tonight I made hubby a tiny little meatloaf and I'm warming up leftover chicken pasta with pesto for me. Yummy stuff! Hubby doesn't…

lpdjones, Happy Birthday!!!

Good morning everyone! I got back to town yesterday and went to the school only to find that the kids weren't there. They said my son had sent a "friend" to pick them up. Now, that would have been fine except that he said he didn't have anybody else to get them and we had to cut our trip short and raced home for nothing.…

Well, darn! We were having a wonderful time at the museum. We got to see a traveling exhibit of landscape paintings from the Americas, then saw the Frank Lloyd House - which was surprisingly small and dark, with very low ceilings in some areas. Hubby is 6'2" tall and the ceiling was about 4" above his head. But it was nice…

Just a quick note before we leave for the art museum. When I was driving the kids to school my DGS asked, "Grandma, did you cut your hair?" I said "yes, I did! " There was a slight pause before he said (helpfully) "maybe you should have gone to a beauty shop." It's a good thing I wasn't drinking hot coffee. I laughed till…

Hello everyone! I'm settling in to watch Downton Abbey. I'm so excited! But first we have to watch 60 minutes. That's ok too. I was really good on my food today. Supper tonight was a salad with hard boiled eggs. It was yummy. Tomorrow hubby and I are going to Bentonville, Arkansas to visit the Crystal Bridges Art Museum.…

Adele, I'm so sorry about the loss of your pup! Several of us here completely know how devastating that is. Talk about the loss if you need to. Have you considered getting another dog? When my elderly whippet passed it was about 6 months before I could think about another dog, but then saw a picture of a puppy on…

SanfordRoberts, what kind of art do you do? Is it your studio or a community studio of some kind? I love my pottery studio but it is terribly lonely there. I'm working on ways to get some more people in there, like turning my gallery into an artist's coop. I hope that works out. I have a load of plates in the kiln right…

Oh my, I'm already having trouble keeping up. I've got to try to do better. OK, so true confessions time. Over two years of hard work I had gotten down to 172 pounds from my highest recorded weight of 302. My weight on January 1st was 189.5, so I have re-gained 17.5 pounds in 2015, most of it in the last three months. My…

Three pages already! Happy new year! Sylvia

Just one last check in before the new year. Our dinner out was FANTASTIC! And I have enough left for two more meals. Hubby ordered fries and they brought him a baked potato. The waitress went back and brought him fries and told us to take the baked potato home, so we have that too. I don't know how they get that steak so…

Hello everyone! Happy new year! I just got home from buying groceries for my son and grandkids. He's out of money and not physically able to go shopping anyway, so I picked up DGD#1 and she helped me with shopping. Then the step-grandson helped carry stuff upstairs. By the way, I think our little mouse problem is over.…

Hello everyone! Today was a pretty good day. Hubby and I went to the Social Security office in Joplin to talk to somebody about hubby's benefits. He has decided to register for benefits now instead of waiting till he turns 70. I went along so I could get a feel for the whole process. Then we went out to the lake to check…

Mary, boy am I mad at you! You have given me a full blown case of puppy envy. That little guy is ADORABLE!!!! Still, puppies are a challenge. My Bruno may be a perpetual puppy though. He's three and not one iota more mature than he was when we brought him home. He still hasn't grown his adult brain. Tonight I made chili…

Good morning everyone. It turned out that we didn't get any more snow overnight, so it was an easy drive into town this morning. I met my friend at the Y, then came to the studio. I've been goofing off, waiting for the heaters to warm the place up. Meanwhile I've been searching for a place to get my hair cut. It occurred…

Kayla, that is hilarious!

I didn't stay at the studio very long today. When the snow started I headed home. It turned out that we didn't get much accumulation but the roads were pretty slick there for a while. We could get more overnight though. So I spent the afternoon playing with my new computer. The dogs are antsy because they didn't get to go…

Becca, I wear mostly hook earrings, and they are all over the place. I found a silverware storage box at a yard sale and pulled out the innards. I made a new insert for the inside (mat board covered with velvet cloth) that has strips of elastic tacked every so often to make little sections that each hold a pair of…

Heather, a greyhound is a WONDERFUL dog to get. That's what I wanted but hubby said they were too big so we settled for a whippet. I do love whippets, but still long for one of the big ones. In my mind they are the perfect dog breed. So gentle and sweet. I bet your son will love it. Mary, Bruno has had exactly one bath in…

Good morning! It's raining cats and dogs here, and barely above freezing. A good day to stay indoors and clean house. So far I've done three loads of laundry and two loads of dishes, plus washed a bunch of pots and pans and glass baking dishes that we unpacked from boxes yesterday. But I'm still in my jammies, so it's…
