My son and his family are still here and busy re-roofing my brothers house. They will be leaving to go to Florida as soon as they get finished with it. Probably the end of this week or the beginning of next. It is going to seem really quiet after having them around for the last 2 months.

My neighbor brought over 2 HUGE zuchinnis and I have never fixed them before so I plan to try the recipe for the zuchinni muffins. Hopefully tomorrow if things go well. They sound good. We had another and my son sliced it up and grilled it. It was very good.

Sure hope everyone is doing good. I hope to get back on a regular routine and back here more often soon.

Hi Karen,

I like your new photo! You will enjoy the muffins - even my DD & SIL who NEVER like my lo-carb/lo-fat/lo-cal stuff like these.

Yesterday I ate WAY too much salt. Peanutbutter, salt on my veggies, turkey sloppy joe, and diet soda. Paying for it today - up 1.8 lbs and can't get my rings off.

I am VERY HAPPY!!! Going to new scrapbook store today with my friend. Will let you know how that goes.

Karen...I eat a whole zucchinni every day for lunch, it fills me up and hardly any calories. I spray butter flavored Pam on large plate, add the sliced zucchini that has been sprinkled with salt free garlic/herb seasoning and zap it on microwave. I sprinkle Veggies Parmesan cheese on top, yum.

Ohhhh ~ that zucchini thing you tell about Bobbi ~ sounds good. What is the Veggies Parmesan cheese? I need to find some more ideas like this to help me.

Off to bed ~ one night down (work) and two to go ~ then off a few days ~ yippee :D

Take care ~ Gayle

Hello!
I'm taking a break from the upholstering work, my fingers are sore. This morning I was picking a few raspberries from the garden and ran in the house screeming. I swear I'll never go in the garden again. A huge black garder snake was sunning itself, must have been 2-3 feet long. Arrrrrrrg, I hate snakes. Fortunately we don't have many, that's the 3rd one I've seen in the 30 years we've lived out here.
Gayle...the Veggie Topping (ParmesanFlavored) is usually in the health food section of the grocery store. It's made by Galazy Nutritional Foods, called Veggie Grated Topping. Cholesterol free & 0g trans fat, lactose & Gluten free. 2 tsp. (5g) only has 15 calories.

Have been spending much of my time going back and forth to the hospital to visit my friend. Was supposed to visit other friend tomorrow (she's starting to have memory/thinking problems), but now will probably need to be on hand to get my friend home from the hospital.

I thought August would be the turning point, but looks like I've got some more not-so-pleasant times on my horizon.

Morning all!
Seems like summer never really got here and it's August 6th already. We set a record in our area for the coldest July recorded. Bummer!
Lynn...sorry to hear of your friends problems, unfortunately we're all going to see that happen to friends and ourselves as we get older.
Memory problems are always in the back of my mind since my mom died of Alzheimrers 3 years ago. I think I'd rather die of some disease than lose precious memories of loved one.
Hi Gayle and Karen, what ever happened to Karen from Florida that did all the entertaining with Bridge games?

Hi Ladies,

I hope you don't mind if I join you all, and start posting. My name is Wilma, and I will be golden in 25 days so I didn't see any sense in posting in the 40+ section. I am happily married, have 3 grown sons, 3 grandson's, and 1 very precious granddaughter. I have lost weight in the last year, messed up big time, and gain most of it back.

I am so determined to do this and keep it off this time. I am using the walking away the pounds DVD's to help with my exercise. I work in a kitchen, and it makes it difficult, but I am taking all of my own food, and refuse to eat any there.

Wilma

This thread gets real gabby in the cooler months, summer time is hit or miss. Happy to have you on board.

Thanks for posting this Bobbi, I am the opposite of vegetarian also, but I love anything made with garbanzo beans. I have a garbanzo bean salad I make using cucumber, and tomatoes also. I am definately going to try this one.
