Welcome to Cajun and Taxi and any other newbys I might have missed. I like seeing new members on this board. Keep it active, girls, I'm retired with nothing else to do. LOL

Happy Birthday, Rosie! Enjoy your day! Mr Crankypants better be nice to you today! LOL

Bobbi, Happy Birthday to you, too! Now you're even another year older! I can't handle this!

My gardening certainly was a workout. I used muscles I forgot I had, but it felt good to have that flower bed looking good again. After the flowers take root and start to bloom I will take pictures.

On the other side I have a shrub I have to dig out and find another place for it. I have 2 daylillies that are huge. I'm contemplating digging them up and splitting them but I have no one to share them with. I need to get more friends. LOL One of the daylillies I brought home from the cabin years ago and shared with my step son. It means so much to DH to have something from the cabin growing in his yard. I probably should thin out my iris but I think I will wait til fall since they are blooming so well right now. Then I will be done until next year. We don't have a big yard.

I found something online regarding Social Security survivor benefits. To me, it looks like you will only receive part of your spouse's benefits if his benefits are considerable higher than yours, and then you will receive the higher of the two payments. In other words, my husband and I receive almost the same amount, so there wouldn't be any significant additional payment if one of us dies. That's not what I wanted to hear.

Read the paragraph "If you are already receiving social security benefits".

Marie. There is nothing I love more than chocolate candy. Had I not been on this weight loss journey the Easter candy in my house would not still be here today. There is a candy jar sitting on my island and I pass that jar every day and look at it. Some days I say I think I will set one. It won't hurt. But then I think if I start with one I'll never stop. Then I think I will feel so guilty if I eat that and I've walked away so far. Let me tell you something funny. My dear old mother in law made me a pineapple cake with cream cheese icing. Favorite cake. I was pretty upset because I knew I didn't want to eat any. Well I did have a very small piece and I was going to hide and give it to my sister and her family. Really felt guilty for giving it away after mother in law went to all of that trouble to make it at her age 80 years old. Well my sister came to get it and I told her not to say a word and when she was done to bring back the cake pan. Sneaky. On her way to the door the cake slipped out her hand and flew across my living room. All I could do was laugh. I thought to myself that's what you get for being sneaky. That cake was not meant to leave my house. At least it was on the floor and not on hips. Just thought I would share. Looking forward to getting o knowcall of you.

Quick good hola, All...

Been on the phone to Juno Tech already... the rains washed out the DSL connection (or something) for two days.... anyway, I'm BACK.

Rie - I haven't heard of a Peruvian steakhouse but 1) I'm no longer an connoisseur and 2) the one I googled is downtown, which mean I am NOT. I'll be interested to hear her take on it.

Freda - no, I pretty much gorked on my day off. GM has been asking for Nicholas Sparks books, so I got her three at the library and have read them all in three days. I'm so overloaded on sugar that I might have diabetes today!!

Gotta roll.... Later, lovelies!

Happy Birthday to Bobbi and Rosey!!:h at:: cheer2:: cheer::g ift:

Happy Birthday Rosey!! You are such a special person and I feel blessed to have gotten to know you! I hope you have a wonderful day!

I may not have time later on so thought I'd better post now. Our 12 year old gs is coming this afternoon for a few days while his parents are busy with their businesses. Our life is much different than what he normally has but I think he enjoys the difference at least for a while as he usually chooses to come to us when they give him options. I have to run out and get a little more meat for tonight's dinner soon.

My new computer gave me problems yesterday and this am. I called tech service (Costco provides it free for two years). I think she was not sure what to tell me as didn't seem too familiar with this kind of computer, however in the process of troubleshooting, I accidentaly removed the power cord and when it started up all was fine again. Don't know if it will last but you can bet I will stay on them this time if things aren't working right. I lost some recipes with the restoration of my files, not sure why. Who knows what else is missing but that's all I've noticed so far.

It is cloudy and drippy today again. The sun did come out for a while yesterday though and tomorrow it is suppose to be at least 70 and dry. Dh plans to take our gs swimming and fishing as he mentioned he was looking forward to that.

Marie - The sample of mocha was made with soy milk. I've never made it that way. It was ok, but mine is better.

bobbi - Just saw its your birthday too!!! Happy Birthday!! Have a wonderful day!! You are another very special lady...seems like the GG are a bunch of special ladies!! I'm very glad to know you all.

Well much to do before we pick up our gs so better get moving.

ETA: Slmn11 I read the the SS link and that sounds more like I have been told before by others. It doesn't say the % one can get of the spouse (if you also get your own SS), but if I get 1/2 like others have told me, I think at this time my own check may be better.
