Good morning! We got up early and went out in the canoe for an hour. We haven't done that in a very, very long time. My life jacket was do big that even adjusted all the way down it was too big. And hubby complained that his has shrunk. I suggested we switch but he thinks we should just get new ones. These are at least 10…

Becca, when we went to Oregon we rented a car. The first time we needed gas we pulled into a convenience store, got out and looked for the pay-at-the-pump thing but it didn't have one. We were getting perplexed when a guy came out of the store and tried to start pumping gas for us. Huh! What is this guy trying to pull?…

Too hot here today. Heat index was 114, so I was inside most of the day. Going in and out of the grocery store nearly did me in. We walked the dogs about 8:30 and it was still miserable. Bought some new pajamas today in a size medium. They fit but they are slightly snug. They have weenie dogs all over them. Cute. While I…

Good morning everyone! Just got back from the final day of swim lessons. This is the day they let the parent(s) swim with the kids as a free day, to see what they have learned. I came to the studio afterwards and changed into dry clothes. The chlorine will itch later, but I have too much work to do to wait in line for the…

Good morning everyone. It's a beautiful, cool day here today. We might get a little rain, but that's ok. I'm at swim lessons now, watching. One of my grandkids quit in a huff yesterday, so today I just have two. A young lady I know a little bit came up to talk to me for a few minutes and ended up trying to give me diet…

Pip, I'm so sorry that you are having so much trouble. It sounds awful. Big hugs! I have a question for the runners out there...I started the c25k program yesterday and it went great. I thought all my joints were fine afterwards and was so proud of myself. But this morning I found that my hips hurt something awful. It's ok…

Today I took the kids to swim lessons. Forgot the towels, so hubby brought them up to me at the pool. In the meantime, my son's (estranged) wife drank almost a gallon of rum, then came to his place being belligerent. She was in such sad shape that he and the building manager called an ambulance. They took her to the ER…

Lozinit, welcome! Jump right in and tell us a little about yourself. Joyce, yes, apparently I do talk to myself. Nobody else seems to hear me. I can tell hubby something and it's like he never heard a word of it. Pip, I'm so sorry to hear you are hurting. If you hurt enough to change your activity plans it must be serious.…

We just came home from the lake and our route takes us through a little town named Girard, about 20 miles from our home. On the square is an old building that partially collapsed on Friday, so we stopped to take a look. There used to be a big furniture store right next to it in another old building. Those were vacant when…

Yup, it cut off everything after the iPad smiley. Interesting.

Test... Here is a smiley from the mfp pull-down. :D Here is a smiley from the iPad keyboard. I will type some after it to see what shows up.

Good morning! I woke up a little sore, but not too bad, considering my scrapes from falling last night. After breakfast I walked 3 miles in spite of the heat - 87 degrees, and the humidity - 76%. By the time I got back I was really dripping with sweat. I bought a set of Bluetooth headphones recently and this was the first…

I just took a tumble while we were walking across the dam with the dogs. Spot saw another dog and I was trying to drag him away. He yanked hard and down I went. Both palms and left elbow have road rash but the bleeding has stopped. My left hip and shoulder are banged and I can feel the bruises starting. Luckily nothing was…

Happy Saturday afternoon everyone! It is really HOT here today, so I'm staying indoors. This morning we went to the Y to swim our laps and I discovered that I have to actually work at treading water now. I don't just float standing up like I used to. That seems like progress. Swimming laps seems to take more energy now. We…

Good night everyone!

Today's joke of the day: :) Four best friends met at the hospital since their wives were giving births to their babies. The nurse comes up to the first man and says, "Congratulations, you got twins." The man said "How strange, I'm the manager of Minnesota Twins." After awhile the nurse comes up to the second man and says,…

Not much napping here today. I walked three miles early. Then swim lessons, then drafting all day. This is the busy season for my drafting. Tonight is to all practice but hubby has offered to take him and let me stay home. It's awfully hot outside. I don't do well with heat and sunshine. Tomorrow the evil ex wife is…

I tried to say I love Max Trump, but my post was blank. Had to edit it to fix it.

Pip, I'm so glad you are back among us. Four pages with no Pip makes for a sad thread. I'm sorry to hear you had an accident. Hope you feel tip-top very soon. This morning I went walking with my friend, and my son called upset. His wife(?) called him drunk at 6:30 am and told him she is ready to ask for in-patient rehab.…

There is a thing on the internet recently called "Trump Your Cat". You comb your cat and plop the loose hair on top the cat's head and take a picture. It's hilarious! But it's on Twitter, and I don't Twitter. Plus, I don't have a cat. This is the best I could do. Spot was NOT amused. Sylvia

July 10, 7:49 pm was the last post I could find from Pip. I'm worried! She never goes this long without posting. Does anybody know what's going on? Maybe I missed it.

I had the most wonderful day! Took the kiddies to swim lessons and when I took them back to the apartment, hubby was there with my son and the guy who delivered the sofa. They got it off the truck but it was up to me and hubby to get it upstairs. We got it in the elevator on it's end, then rolled it down the hall to the…

It's 7 am and I have to wait till 8 to go pick up the dogs. I REALLY, REALLY miss my dogs! I got to see the kids last night. My son took the kids to Walmart and had a health issue (ran out of oxygen) so he called me and we went up to get him and the kids from Walmart in the van. His car has no A/C so it makes his breathing…

We just got home. All is well. Tomorrow it's back to the circus.

Good morning! Last night we spotted a walking path next to a creek near our hotel, so this morning hubby suggested we go there. I was thrilled because I thought he would be in a big hurry to get on the road. The path was just stunning, with a beautiful creek and lush native grasses. The place was a riot of birdsong! It led…

It's late and we just got in to our hotel in Kearney after spending last night in Scott's Bluff. This morning we drove all over northwestern Nebraska. It was beautiful. So many vastly different kinds of landscapes, just one after another. But we had zero cell phone signal during much of the drive, as it's pretty desolate…

Pip, in case you are keeping score...I enjoyed the showgirl picture. That Kirby is a hoot! No wonder you make such a great couple. Sylvia

Happy birthday Kirby! I've had a pretty good day, in spite of a rough start. I didn't sleep well, as I already mentioned, which led to a headache. Then I accidentally got a look at my droopy, naked self in the hotel mirror. I was truly surprised by the sheer magnitude of the loose skin on my rear end, my inner thighs, and…

Good morning ladies! We stayed in Kearney, Nebraska for the night. We had a fairly good night, although the bed was very hard and I hardly slept at all. Hubby wanted to leave the bathroom light on and it kept making me think the sun was coming up. We were determined to get up early and get on our way, so I was afraid I…

Carol, we are driving to South Dakota, going through western Nebraska. Just a whirlwind tour. Hubby got the itch for a little road trip. Only 4 days. Sylvia Not missing southeast Kansas one little bit.
