Hello Everyone Nice sunny morning but a skiff of snow on the grass. Our daughter’s 47th birthday is coming up (how is that possible). I remember birthday parties over the years. Some were snowy and cold and others featured little girls running around outside in pretty dresses. Times definitely have changed, I don’t see too…

Good Morning. My injections went well. Fingers crossed. Still sore and I have to take it easy for a couple of days. That’s hard for me LOL Thanks Lin. 48 years seems so long but time goes by so quickly. Here’s hoping we make 50 years. Both Ed and I were married before. Just short marriages with no kids. Have any of you…

Hi everyone. We’ve been on the go and very busy. We were in Canmore for a week at a timeshare. Canmore is about a hour west of Calgary and beside some beautiful mountains. The weather wasn’t the greatest but we had a fun relaxing time. Into Banff taking in it’s gorgeous scenery. Just hanging out and trying out the good…

Oh Sandy you are such a strong woman. But we already knew that over the course of the last many years. I am so glad you have your grands to bring joy to your life. ❤️❤️❤️❤️. Your family and friends are all here to support you as well. Big hugs. Jeri

Oh dear, so sorry. Big hugs. Jeri

Oh Sandy. Glad you are staying with him. It’s good for both of you. Fingers crossed that he gradually gets better - well hopefully soon. Big hugs.

Oh Sandy. This is just terrible. Sending love and hugs and prayers. ❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️

Oh Sandy how awful. Just when things start to look better it all happens again. You are so strong. Big hugs. A couple busy days for me. Costco run, working on pictures and today physio and grocery shopping. Ed went ice fishing. He had a good time. My physiotherapist thinks I should get a cortisone shot in my back. I’m…

I’ve been on the go and way too busy. The nasty sweet tooth has been calling my name as well so I thought I’d better start recording my meals again. LOL Sandy I am glad your life is getting a little more normal. Lin - I love your story about the wedding- that is so nice. You ladies were talking about eggs. I haven’t gone…

I like my name too. Jeri is very unusual. But here’s the story. I was originally named Jerry but everyone was confused and thought I was a boy initially. Before starting school my parents officially changed my name to Jeri. I got a new birth certificate and my old one was kept as well. After I was old enough to go to bars…

Good Morning Everyone The sidewalks are finally melting and I’ve been able to go out for a walk two days in a row. That makes me feel so good. Yesterday Ed had the car getting some brake work done on it so I decided to walk up to the grocery store. It’s a mile away. I loved it. Felt so good. Sandy - I am so glad you are…

Good Morning Just checking in. We’ve been on the go a lot looking for a couch and a loveseat. We finally bought them yesterday. Looking for couches is a challenge for me as I am so short. Most are too tall and my feet dangle like a little kid. Not comfortable either. Sandy - glad you got a little ‘you’ time. Still lots to…

I spent a very blah day. I broke a tooth just before Christmas and had a temporary cap out on. My dentist was going on vacation and not coming back til mid January. Part of the cap broke at Christmas and has been driving me crazy. My tongue getting cut and very sore. Yesterday I made appointment to get my tooth fixed by…

Hello Everyone, A nice day here in Calgary. Fairly warm and sunny. Today is the day our housekeeper comes. (Every 2 weeks). Of course, I straightened up before she came. LOL. But mostly I appreciate the dusting, vacuuming, appliance cleaning and cupboard wipe downs. The house always feels nice when she leaves. I started…

Happy New Year to everyone. Ed and I are both recovered from COVID and it was mostly like a bad cold. I had a bit of lingering fatigue but seem to be pretty good now. Thank you all for your kind remarks. I’m afraid I wasn’t up to replying when we were sick. Lucky for us we had a scheduled week away at a timeshare in…

Hi Everyone Thanks for the kind words about our nasty COVID. We are doing pretty good. Ed has his energy back but still is blowing his nose. I’m a couple of days behind. Another winter storm going on but luckily a neighbor has used his snow blower on our driveway and sidewalk. The only good thing about all this crappy…

Hi all, Sitting upstairs vegging out. Ed came down with COVID on Tuesday and me on Thursday. Both have reasonably mild symptoms Ed blowing his nose a lot and me fatigue and sore legs. Ed reached the 5 day point so can go out with a mask. Monday is my freedom day. We’ve had lots of snow and I became the snow shoveler on…

Hello Everyone Yesterday was one of those busy busy days. Out to lunch with a cousin I haven’t seen in a long time, then Ed needed to go to Walmart and then rushed home for a Zoom meeting. Whew. Plus I made a walking commitment and I needed to walk for a total of 1 hr 25 minutes. I did it. Hurray. This is the site. Most…

Hello All, Thank you Anne and Lin for the welcome back. I love catching up with everyone. Lin - chinooking here today - warm winds from the west melting the snow. Should be nice for a couple of days but snow forecast for Halloween. Darn it. Barbie - great news about Jake 👍👍 Anne - hope your plumber fixes all. Sandy -…

Hello Everyone Yup, I’m not lost. Thought I’d drop in to catch up. Sandy, your slide pictures look so fun. Love them. We are just recovering from a big dump of snow after one of the warmest falls I can remember. I’m still doing my daily walk outside #walk365. It was a little difficult the first two days. I ended walking on…

Thanks for the great birthday wishes. I was so busy I didn’t get a chance to stop by. This was our first get together for our family in over a year and a half. I can honestly say I have never enjoyed a birthday party more. Restrictions have finally been lifted in Alberta for social gatherings. We’ve seen our girls…

Busy busy busy. Where does time go. I’ve resorted to setting my alarm to wake me up an hour earlier but still not getting everything done. Ed and I have gone out two days in a row doing our traditional spring wildflower photography. Yesterday Sibbald Flats and today Griffith Woods. I also was finally able to book my 2nd…

I’m glad I found this group as I find posting helps make me accountable. I have a commitment this year #walk365. This challenge means I will walk outside everyday good weather or bad. It has been good and I am enjoying it. Steps 01 May 22,249 02 May 24,426 03 May 16,961 04 May 21,411 05 May 23,468 06 May 24,432 07…

Hello All Hope you are having a good day. Ever since May 2020 when I shook my head and said COVID isn’t going to get me down I’ve lost just under 20lbs. I’m a Lifetime member and I wanted to reclaim my place. I’d still like to loose a bit more but I lose very slowly. That’s okay as long as the trend is ⬇️ My goal for the…

Jackie, I loved the picture you posted, it’s gorgeous. With being so restricted by shutdowns etc I decided to stretch my boundaries this year. Heavens I never walk outside in the winter but I bought cleats for my shoes and I did it. And yes Nova Scotia lobster is delicious. Sandy - I’m an expert now at eating whole…

Hello ladies, Thank you for the nice welcome back. Annie - it is definitely frustrating when you lose your post. I do it all the time. Ed has had both vaccine shots and I had my first. Definitely waiting on edge for my second. Jackie - we had a rainy day here as well but nothing like yours. In keeping with my #walk365…

Hello all, Where does time go. I can’t believe I haven’t posted on so long. I’ve been keeping myself very very busy doing lots of walking. Yes I am still doing my #walk365 challenge. But I’ve now added walking up hills to things I want to do. I’ve never been good at hills and I want to change that. Ed and I are both doing…
