:D

Lanette … I didn’t mean to write so confusing. My doctor thought my vitamin D was too high at 90 so she cut me back. Since I’ve been taking less, my knees have started to bother me again. I’m going to go back to my regular dose to see if the pain lessens. I was taking 35,000 iu per week, dropped to 15,000 and I’m going to…

Margaret ... well said. Thank you ladies for the kind words about my grass seeding photo! We were very tired at that point and acting silly. The grass germinated before it got cold. Yay! It's only going to be in the 40s this week and rain and rain and rain. We have a green sheen over all of that hay ... except for a few…

Project Update ... Rita ... my doctor recommends Zeasorb. Discontinuing medications ... I am not on anti-depressants, but have family members that are. They have found it brutal to remove medications once started. Sometimes the weaning has to be at an incredibly slow pace with slow incremental reductions to avoid…

Rosemarie ... does she have a hearing impairment? If it's undiagnosed/untreated she may not even know she is missing what you say or interrupting. Or, she may just be as you say ... self-centered. Beth

Today I attended the funeral of a 94 year old woman from our church. Married for 72 years, her 94 year old husband was beyond heartbroken. My floodgates opened ... :'( Beth

Barbie ... so sorry that Bodhi is not working out. I hope you can take comfort in knowing that you have helped provide important information for his next placement. Barbara ... Ouch! I'm with you and dental sedation! Ginny ... I wouldn't attend the baby shower. If anything were to happen to the mama or the baby for ANY…

Debbie ... my husband and I shared our anniversary date with his parents. I didn't know the date of their anniversary at the time I chose our wedding date (and my husband didn't pay attention to things like that) ... but it was a lot of fun for years to go out with them for a special dinner. We alternated years on who…

Michelle ... very sorry to hear about your continued estrangement from Bryan. I would reach out to both Bryan and his girlfriend again especially since a new grandchild is part of the picture. If nothing else, sending a baby welcome gift is in order ... otherwise I fear you're going to have favoritism added to their…

Cindy ... I've had mammogram scares ... praying yours turns out to be nothing to worry about! Tracey ... Happy Belated Birthday! No, Buffalo will not be impacted by any of the weather the hurricane generates. At the moment, everything is covered and essentially weatherproof. Today it looks like the soffit installation is…

Lisa ... This is my husband and I to a "T" :D

I've been climbing up and down a ladder today. My knees do not like it but I'm trying to help my husband. Barbara ... I've meant to say that labor is the most expensive part of any job we've ever had done... which is why my husband wanted to do our siding and soffit work himself. We're saving somewhere in the neighborhood…

Rita ... thinking of you and your son this morning Heather... hope your sore throat is just the run of the mill crud and is soon much better ... Margaret ... love the flashlight analogy! Loosely using The Parable of the Pencil, I used a pencil analogy for my children's sermon this past Sunday Karen VA ... I see you're here…

Barbie … praying that Jake’s infection quickly subsides and he is soon able to come home. Prayers for you too!

Rebecca …how is Athena adjusting to her new brother?

Kim ... call a medicare broker in your area ... they should at least know what is going on with payment systems and Medicare. And their services (at least in my area) are free with no strings attached). Not receiving Social Security at this time will make things more complicated... but surely they've had others with the…

Rebecca ... Congratulations! I think I see a little Athena in Eli ... Santa ... I told my 11 year old son when he was starting to get teased at school for believing and when I was also pregnant with his younger brother (11 years apart). I was due Christmas and wasn't sure what I was going to be able to accomplish that…

Katla … so glad you’re still seeing hummingbirds. How is your husband doing? Beth near Buffalo

Barbara ... sorry about your "terrible, horrible, no good, very bad day" ... hope today is better. Kelly ... what an interesting write up for Flea and how nice of your brother to do it for her! Lanette ... the smell of cigarette smoke ... funny what brings us comfort Not much new to report here. I've been tasked with…

Barbie ... Bodhi has a beautiful coat! I agree with Ginny that the poor guy just looks scared, but I'm sure with your care and patience he will soon be doing well. Barbara ... prayers said for your goddaughter and her family Allie ... beautiful sunrise! The colors matched your shirt ... Pip ... some people just want quick…

Allie ... have a great time on the cruise! Machka ... Happy Anniversary! You and your husband look great! Beth

Kate ... Welcome back! So sorry to hear of your husband's health issues ... Cynthia ... I was going to explain "DH" but we've properly beat that question to death ... :D Pip ... that's a great looking trailer! This non-camper might even be tempted by a set-up like that. Raining again here which means more project delays on…

Rebecca ... my heart is just singing for you this morning! <3

Rosemarie ... I would imagine that you're tired because you're in the grief process. Be gentle with yourself ... there's no right or wrong. Lanette ... the siding project is moving along in fits and starts. We've had a lot of heavy rain and then my husband had a significant flare-up of his gout arthritis. Those things…

Reading along ...

Tracey … there are no words … my heart just hurts for you all. Praying for you and your family

Tracey ... nope, husband will not hire anyone to finish the siding. However, I did convince him to hire a landscaper if the yard is a mess after the drainage excavator leaves! And, he's seriously considering hiring an electrician when it comes time to pull the main electric service from the house to reside underneath it.…

Rebecca ... Lovely photos. I enjoyed the ones of the 3 of them together and especially the one with Athena on her daddy's shoulders. She'll always be his little girl .... Carol ... your grandchildren are no longer babies!! Vicki ... that is a great photo of you, Addison and your husband! Lanette ... interestingly, my son's…

Barbie … thank you for keeping us going! Beth

Tracey ... I will be praying for your daughter through her pregnancy. And have fun with the virtual college experience! You'll still be "working" ... just at a different task. Kayne ... add me to the others who enjoy hearing about the lives of our group members. We are so diverse that it is always interesting. Lisa ... the…
