Hello to all of you. This will be a long post as I am at home. You can read the first and last paragraph and I won't be offended. I won't even know 😄 I know I said I would be faithful about MFP and the group when I REjoined a few years ago, but, but never gave an explanation. This time, I am trying not beat myself up. The…

Consider that you are continuing to keep track and exercising. Thus, still on your streak.

The flowers are wonderful. Mother nature is so healing and the world needs that right now. Katla I had to uninstall MS Teams tonight. Geek Squad tomorrow. I get so tired of automatic updates. Right up there with all the cookies that requires a Houdini or Einstein to opt out of. I really wish we had GDPR in the US!

It's PINK! Lovely.

Heather Your floors are beautiful. I love the door and side panel windows. I am trying to select some right now.

You had one very understanding policeman. Years ago, I got stopped trying to get insecure potty trained toddler home in time. When I asked trooper who looked all of 14 if I could at least take baby into house to go, I was told no. As he wrote out ticket, I told him he would have to clean up if anything happened. Seconds…

No individual responses today. I have been working across time zones for 2 days. That plus not being able to sleep since Saturday because of my sweet kitty, means I won't be responding to everyone. I know it isn't true, but I think that I hear her in the house. I never get jet lag, but am a bit distracted tonight. I do…

Pip Look what I found at Marshall's at the wall by the cashiers! I thought of you and bought it as we have to bring reusable bags everywhere or gt flimsy paper sacks that break immediately on getting out the door. Does anyone else remember when businesses switched to plastic in order to save trees? Allie So glad the…

Thank you to all for your kind words in support of the loss of my sweet kitty.

I had to say goodbye to my cat today. For about a week she has seemed to be losing weight. She was refusing to eat Friskies Shreds but would come running for Temptations. If I even opened the refrigerator, it did not matter where she was, she would hope for some canned whipped cream. She was continuing to drink and…

Katla I do hope that you DGS's health situation is resolved with success very soon. Prince Phillip Funeral I know that many people are completely against the monarchy, but as I watched the funeral, what came to me is the this. A very old lady was grieving alone for the man she had first met at 8 years old and with whom she…

Everyone My DGD had another surgery today drains removed. Did not put window in heart. Still coming up as is another LP.

Beth please accept my condolences. This must be so hard for you. Please take some time for yourself to grieve and remember. CJ

I hope everything is ok. Please take care of yourself, as well. 😍

Heather I thought that I had the password issue covered. However, today, I got a notice that the gas payment did not go through because the card was no longer valid and to log on to account. Well, it is still in husband's name although the emails and bill notices go to me electronically. It is billed directly to my credit…

Penny I hope the severity of your DGS' epilepsy decreases as he gets older. It can be so isolating. Alliewill Homer accept hugs and kisses from a cat? If so, Pretty Girl sends them his way. It must be fun to see what animal Alfie reacts to. Rebecca I don;t know how I missed World Wide Naked Gardening Day? I have never been…

Heather I have a very subtle peachy color with white trim all through the house except for the dining room and kitchen. The dining room is apricot and the kitchen is very retro- avocado cabinets and woodwork, yellow trim and pale sage walls. People would call the walls blush pink. So I vot for pink walls in your house.

Penny a very warm welcome. I just came back after several year absence. I always loved your notes on life above the Artic Circle.,I remember when you and Heather met when she went on a Nordic cruise. And the pictures of kids with sun crowns to welcome return of the sun to the north.CJ

Just catching up from several days away So many welcomes today. Barbie keeps us organized and makes it possible for the conversation to continue month after month. Heart. NicolePulverStritesky Congratulations on quitting smoking- the most addictive substance. Meg welcome back. Lots of arms to hug you. I know, I just…

Catching up here. Has anybody been watching the Stanley Tucci series Searching for Italy? What a beautiful examination of the relationship between culture, environment, economics, art, and food. It is so nice to see such respect for the different cuisines. Debbie I am so sorry that your cat has died. Our furbabies are so…

Machka The outfits are ever so stylish. Are those character shoes? Do you dance? What a fun place you must work.

Karen Heather Flea Kelly Wow. I love the hats. I have some lovely hats that I still wear in Europe where I purchased them and where I used to live. I wish that we wore them in the US more often. The only time I wear them in the States is in the spring or summer to keep the sun off my face, but rarely the very pretty ones,…

Again, thank you for all your warm words and prayers for my DGD Barbie Thank you for starting the month off right. Your dedication is amazing Katla and Sue I hope that you can ride whenever and wherever you want very soon. Winston Churchill once said that "no hour of life is wasted that is spent in the saddle". Very true.…

Got call today that my DGD was on her way up to cardiac surgery again. She is awake now. I have not heard the results yet. I am assuming ( I know, I know) that no news is good news.

Thank you all for your lovely messages of support. I can feel the hugs across the miles. It is as though I never left. CJ

There are no words to describe how glad I am to find all of you still here. What dedication. That you are so ope to sharing your lives in such an uplifting way is a real inspiration. It has been several years- I am not sure the last time I was on MFP. I will never catch up so I won't try. Here goes- some personal…

Pip The scooter is just too cute. Just like two little ones holding hands! SO glad it will remain in the family. Rebecca I loved the story about your grandparents. As far as living together rather than being married so they would not lose their social security benefits, we had a similar situation in our family. A great…

Dear Wonderful Women, I am back. I said this a few years ago, but this time I mean it. I missed you. I viewed some of the posts for the last few days and you are all still here! I should have known that you would all be here. Thank you Barbie for leading the charge. My personal life has completely changed. I will spare you…

Barbara You asked me to repeat the story about getting hit…I was stopped at an intersection waiting for someone to get to the other side of the street before starting my turn as that person was crossing in the crosswalk with a guide dog. A rather impatient young man in a huge SUV couldn’t be bothered slowing down and…
