Back from running errands. Not the best weather – Rain and mid-50’s; tomorrow is more rain with a high of 53 and low of 36 degrees… puts a damper on some outdoor music we planned to attend at a local ice cream establishment. Oh well, we’ll see. Still haven’t heated up the Mexican lunch I made this morning…looking forward…

Good morning gang - I was just catching up on reading posts, but heading out in a couple minutes… more later… Jackie – I did catch your comment: “I’ve just enjoyed a bland cheese sandwich on whole-meal bread for lunch so Bob’s barbecue food is tormenting me!” Well today I needed a change and already cooked it….just need to…

Happy Wednesday to all… Busy morning and after gym we took another walk at the mall. Today it was back to reg hours and open til 9pm. We never go that late…also any “trouble” normally happens late evening. It was a “little” busy but nothing compared to the norm. It was nice to see the carousel operating. I had planned an…

Readers Digest version (LOL): Yesterday and today were & have been good days. Both Jean and I had morning dealership appt’s for routine servicing and car inspections. Jean is excited that the 2021 NY State Fair is a go! Crowds will be limited to 50%, which basically means only 50,000 people on the fairgrounds at any given…

Wow – not sure where the morning went. Stopped at Wegmans after gym…picked up some flowers for Jean, along with the butter I knew she was out of. Noticed they had rearranged some areas for deck/patio furniture etc. Another sign of summer. Anne – What great memories you have. Like your direct approach…must say I am pretty…

Good afternoon all. It was a great morning starting with gym at 5am…grocery store…mall for some additional walking and a stop at the “Five Below” store for a phone charger cord. Just finished a late lunch of - Haddock (Baked), 5 oz, Baked Scallops, mushrooms, broccoli, homemade Cole slaw – DELICIOUS! Jackie – Love the view…

Merry Christmas… A picture paints a 1000 words - this photo was taken this morning before heading to the gym at 4:30am. The forecast for next Tuesday is low 70’s and 80 on Wednesday! I’m ready! Nothing really new except - our old “cheap” (under $100.) Sears Kenmore microwave that served us well for 12 years had to be…

By the look of my typing I think I need to un-stick a few keys on my keyboard. LOL

Quiet cold afternoon…some rain, some clouds and then some sun. Just having 1 main meal today and will “graze” for dinner…(273 cal.): Baked pork chop, bell peppers, garlic/herb riced cauliflower Having been working on an issue with the Silver Sneakers website for 3 months now… too long of a story…they admit my sign-on issue…

Ps - meant to also comment on -- Most people know Alma Wahlberg, mother of actors Mark and Donnie Wahlberg, died with dementia at age 78 this weekend…. One paragraph caught my eye that I thought was an excellent look into how she viewed herself and life: “People know me as being the mother of famous children, and although…

A quick afternoon check-in. The morning was beautiful and sunny. Went to Lowes and picked up 20 bags of mulch that was on sale. Had a cook-out when we got home (Strip steak 3oz. and grilled veggies for 222 cal.). Weather ahead is typical for us – crazy! Parka and snow this Wednesday and swim weather the following…

And a Happy Monday morning to all...back from gym, plans not yet formulated for the day. Perhaps a trip to Lowes for mulch. Yesterday was wonderful…cool but sunny. For the record: A mouse around our house doesn’t stand a chance and gets what he deserves … taken for a ride to a new neighborhood a few miles away… yup… Jean…

Good Morning! Well the weather is much nicer than predicted. Should hit 60 and so far – there has been a lot of sun. Got to the gym at open and listened to podcasts while walking. Just finished “packing” my lunch to eat at my sisters. She has so much food, I rather bring my own meatballs (w/ Rao’s sauce), artichoke &…

TGIF etc. Woke up about 2am and never went back to sleep. Left for gym before 5am and then the grocery store by 6:10am…great time to go. Amazing the flowers they sell… every bit as good as any florist shop and really hold up well. Have purchased “many” times! Plans for the day up in the air so far. I know Jean brings her…

Back from a long fresh-air/sunny ride with Jean and now for a simple skinless chicken breast, green beans & sauce & grated cheese lunch. Earlier it was gym, grocery shopping (Scored a 24-can box of Sabrina’s Fancy Feast Seafood Classic Pate Cat Food that has been in short supply. Had fun just observing people. Covid has…

Cold, cloudy and breezy today – it was in the high 30’s earlier and should reach 49 degrees at some point. I want my 70’s back! LOL. After gym, I started the day baking 9am boneless chicken thighs for lunch…next thing I knew I was adding veggies, cauliflower and squash (277 cal)… now it’s just a heat-up later Anne – Glad…

A late hello. Pretty quiet day….gym this morning & then some computer work and then lunch at my sister’s home. I brought my own meal. VERY small crowd vs. normal. Then a pit-stop at Big Lots for cat litter. Not a horrible day. Temp has been around 70 and it only rained lightly on and off throughout the afternoon. Sandy – I…

Good afternoon all. The usual start to the morning and then it was off to Skaneateles Lake for a half day of fresh air, 74 degrees and sunshine. Masks and social distancing still applied to all shops, indoor restaurants etc – Just walking by the lake was awesome. You could see the sparkling rocks under water from the dock.…

Mornin Mornin…. Nice day so far that started with a pretty sunrise over gym. Rain possible this afternoon. It hit 80 degrees yesterday and will be low 60’s today. We did have lunch at a famous hotdog stand that has been around well over 100 years…the line normally reaches outside…it took about 30 min in line for us…but…

GOOD MORNING ALL ! Its been a hectic few days with a multitude of issues not worth boring you with. Easter was better than expected with our small bubble, a buffet, games inside and outside. Kite flying etc. We were both 100% by yesterday and got our 2nd Pfizer shot…no side effects except very mild sore arm and bit tired.…

It was a cold morning that never broke 27 degrees – BUT – the sun was out and that made it a great morning. Cut my gym time in half, as feeling better but 100%. The we pit-stopped at Gertrude Hawk Chocolates. Making shrimp for lunch with homemade coleslaw. My daughter and husband were off today, so she texted a pick of…

Just a quick check-in. Woke up yesterday with a scratchy throat etc. so I skipped Blink and watched Endeavor episodes. This morning the throat feels better and now a head-cold (with lots of nose-blowing etc). So much for my 2 years without any of the normal sickness everyone gets. Normally, I wouldn’t give “a rats U know…

Mornin Ladies – Going to be a gorgeous day today with sun and upper 60’s vs this coming Friday with a 33 degree high and 23 degree low forecasted. Jean already suggested we cook-out for dinner. She is headed out to breakfast to meet “the girls (maybe a couple guys)” that worked together and are now retired of “lost” their…

Good Morning and a Happy Monday to all. It was cold 1st thing at around 35 degrees and a trace of snow (now gone) – tomorrow it will be 68! That’s our kind of crazy weather. Heading to Blink Fitness soon… back hurt yesterday and I had to skip for the first time in ages. BEFORE I FORGET & FYI ONLY: I know a lot of you watch…

HAPPY SATURDAY MORNING! :) Been a busy few days. Stupidity reigns…went to BlinkFitness 6am forgetting it was Sat and opens 7am. LOL. Went back later. Took advantage of 70 degree temps with reservations at Zoo, ice cream stand (I had low sugar yogurt). Fired up the grill for the first time this year. High’s back to 30’s…

Blink is behind me…and it was a nice sunrise in the parking lot. Jean will be headed to my sisters for a virtual shower this morning. So glad to escape that stuff. Took a nice ride to Waterloo yesterday and bought a “cheap” camo tee. We were invited to a great great nephews birthday party at the end of this month with a…

Happy Monday to all…. Glorious morning! The sun was a bit blinding driving home from the gym. Despite cold temps that early, it felt great. Sang a bit of "A Beautiful Morning" - written by Felix Cavaliere (Rascals) . (Trivia: Felix went to college locally at SU). Over the weekend, my daughter and son-in-law held their 2nd…

What a great morning! Started out in 20’s with sun for BlinkFitness and then washed the car. Weather for today and the upcoming week looks fantastic for March. For the 1st time ever, my sister said today will be BYOS (Bring Your Own Sandwich) Sunday and she will still have all the desserts etc. For me, it’s a win. Already…

Quick check-in - Going to try and catch up this weekend on some of the posts I have missed. We are heading to the funeral of a friend within the hour, yesterday was the wake. Just another reminder of how short life can be for some and how blessed we are to be alive! Jean always has a way to remind me when one holiday (like…

Happy Tuesday to all. Up at 4am and at BlinkFitness by 5am… It was a busy Sun/Mon… Dinner at my sisters on Sunday was nice as usual…took a few cell pics of food (all the usual except she also made some corned beef and cabbage (pic). I made my own lunch late in the day at home (large chicken & veggie salad). Sunday night we…
