That is super-imagine being happy over gaining 5 lbs-(joke)! He really is progressing.
Boohoo red Sox. One game at a time.
I picked up the stroller and swing-really nice. 30$!
Bobby and a friend are coming over next week to help Brad finish up.
I had a nice massage yesterday but my back still hurts. I will get a shot if I have to.
We were warm last night from heat on downstairs,\.
Bye for now Mima

Happy- Yes the oat meal I found has sugar in it. I have been reading the labels of just about all package goods I buy. I looked in W/M for the surgarless and they had the same kind I already have..Quaker Oats..
Tammy- I would shout for joy to lose 5 pounds.. It looks like your hubby is headed in the right direction.. Our son had his bloodwork done and his enzemes were up. The Dr. said it may be because of the herbal meds he has been taking.. We hope that is all it is.. They took him off of all meds. Not even to take a asa. He is getting more tests...He used to drink too much. He doesn't touch a drop now.. Getting religion helped there..
Mima- 36 ,it looks like it is getting cold up there. We are still warm.. ac running a lot.. We still need rain here in our area..the weeds are drying up..That is one thing that won't die though.
Hello Meme...
Joanne

I'd be jumping for joy losing 5 pounds too! I wish he could take some of mine.

Bob is only taking the meds that were prescribed, nothing herbal at this time. Maybe in the future.

My BIL called from Tampa tonight. He mentioned how warm it is there. It wasn't bad here yesterday, about 80. Today was cooler especially when it became cloudy.

I met with the teachers after they got out of school today. We had a nice visit. Lots of laughs. Some of the retired ones are getting together for lunch next week.

Have to be careful of herbs and prescriptions together.
The Red Sox lost again. Cleveland wants it so bad-one more chance on Thurs.At least the Yankees are out.
Josh wanted to move in next week because he can't have his hotel room but he works at night and sleeps during the day so that wouldn't work-we won;t be done. We thought he could sleep in the camper for a week. He came here last night-wow -does he have nice clothes. I gave him some rice and beans that I made.
Well-back to work-Mima

My SIL's mother is a big Cleveland fan since that's where she lives. I'm sure she'll be watching the game.

How old is Josh? I like beans and rice. Bob isn't thrilled with them. lol

I'm taking Kramer to the doggy hotel. Getting carpets cleaned today, then he'll be there until Sun. night or Mon. morning since we're going away over the weekend.

I am glad you are getting a breather, Tammy.
We can actually see the end of the construction. What a help Billy was. And I can't believe I am surviving the painting. Today I am going to Woman's Bible Study=that's a break and I will have my favorite Chai Tea Latte.
The Red Sox won!! Back to Boston. And we can see that the Indians want it so bad.
Jessica is still doing well-doc says she is close. She
is going crazy buying everything.
Bye for now and hi everyone. Mima

Hi-stayed up til midnight to watch the Red Sox win!!!!!Wow,
Ever since I started to eat an apple every day, my stomache has been better??????
Mima

I was sound asleep while you were watching the Red Sox win. I'm sure my brother's MIL was up watching the Indians lose.

Maybe I should start eating an apple a day. I've been hurting so bad the past few days. weather change? who knows.

Hope eveyone is doing ok!!

Hope you had a good weekend.
I got all the paint off and recaulked the sink but the paint came off so I will touch it up today. Josh was moving in his stuff last night -but he has to sleep in the camper.
I'm so excited-we are going to visit Brad's sister and then go to Suoer walmart on the way home-last shopping before FL. Hope to leave that second week/
I found a playpack-what we used to call a playpen-online-hope it's not sold. Bye for now Mima

Tammy- You are not by yourself. My shoulder that I fell on has been giving me a fit. More so at night than in the daytime.. I am just eating the advil.. Our sons latest bloodwork came back normal. They think he was taking too many/much herbal meds. I hope he has cut them all out.. If nothing else maybe he will watch his diet closer..He has this idea that low fat etc is not as good as the other foods.. I told his wife to not tell him it is lowfat. He won't know the difference..She made some diabetic muffins.. He wouldn't touch them after she told him they were diabetic..My hubby was very much the same.. Now he just keeps quiet and eats what I give him,although ,he still wants his spagetti with ragu now and then. I just put turkey in it instead of beef. He doesn't know the difference..
Mima- It is still steaming down here.. We are hoping for some cooler weather.Looks like you are getting excited waitng for the new G/baby...I would be too. That isn't likely to happen for some time..Our G/daughter called last night.. She was 26 yesterday.. She thinks she is getting old!!!
Hello Happy,Meme... Joanne

Good morning. I guess it's that painful time of year, yet again - the change of season. Soon it will settle into winter (at least here, it will be cold and dry and I will feel a LOT better painwise)

Mima - not long before you go to Florida. I am sure you are excited about that. Good that the renter is getting moved in now.

Tammy - sorry to hear you are in pain. Hope it settles down. Glad you had a good weekend.

Joanne - seems like old injuries hurt a lot in season changes. My elbow is giving me trouble, the one I hurt in the accident 5 years ago!!! Hopefully, it will settle down soon, as it is the right one and I am forever moving it. I agree with your son, that low fat diets don't really work. Fat is a satisfier so you need to have it, but you need to choose the good fats, not the saturated fats. I don't care for ground turkey or chicken, but I use beef sparingly. I do cook lots of chicken and fish as well.

We were in Edmonton on the weekend. It was my daughter's 40th birthday, and we all had a really good time. Lot's of visiting with family members.

Heard from Candice. They haven't moved yet, but they will be soon. The house is in town now instead of out in the country, so that will be different for them. She hasn't been feeling too bad. She hopes to get back here as soon as she gets a new computer. The old one won't let her on as she doens't have enough RAM left. She says to say "hi".

Computers only last about 4 years-can you believe that-I am sure this one is on it's way out but the new ones are so cheap-I once pd 1400 for an HP.
Today is Jessica's due date.
The playpack was sold. Guess I will break down and buy a new one-she still has money.
Wonderful prayer meeting last night.
When this is over-I will get my back straightened out-I am so glad nothing else is bad.
I would watch out for herbs with scripts if I were your son, Joanne. I put flax in hubby's food and don't tell him but don't put it in gravy. Awful!
Bye for now mima

Mima- Believe me his wife and I told him about those herb meds.. We never know just what is in them and mixing them with script meds is bad business..
We finally got some rain.. It will dry out fast.. We have been watching the fires in Ca. That is just heart breaking for those people..
Happy this shoulder pain (R) is new.. I fell a week or so again.. Ofcourse the old hurts have developed arthritis so they hurt too with the change of weather.. At my age that is expected ,I guess.Yes we need some fats but not the wrong kind.. I tend to limit some and am trying to limit carbs. I was doing really well for awhile but being just human I tend to fall back into bad habits.. The Dr. says I am diebetic and so you see that is another battle to contend with.We had a speaker ar Tops last week that handed out rubber bands.. We were supposed to wear them to remind us not to eat the wrong things..WELL!!! It hasn't done very much for me this week.. Guess I need to wear 2 and go another week!!!I will take a poll this week and see how many it helped..
Tammy- I am not a baseball fan either.. We do watch the Bucs(football).We understand some of it.I think it is the pectin in the apple that is supposed to help us. I should buy some too..
Bye...Joanne

Joanne, glad to hear about his bloodwork being normal. That herbal stuff can do a number on people too. I try to do little tricks when I'm cooking also. I've been trying to do healthy things because I know that Bob needs to change some of his eating habits. It's going to take a while to get him convinced!! It is in the 40's today. I have been shivering most of the day, and we have the heat on. I hope I'm not getting a bug of some kind. I am rarely cold.

We've been watching the fires also. It just makes me feel sick that there isn't something that can be done. Glad you got some rain. It has rained here for a couple of days, and with it turning cooler, I told Bob it will snow by the weekend. I hope not!!!! My BIL and family are big Bucs fans! We were past the stadium when we went to visit them in July.

Anne, happy birthday to your daughter! It's always nice to get together and visit, and just to catch up on what has been happening in your lives. Wonder if Candice will like being in town instead of country? We have lived both places, and I can honestly say I prefer the country. Where we live now only has a few houses on our street, and there aren't any homes or other streets near us. I count it as "almost country".

Mima, our computer has been doing some strange things lately, so I'm sure it will be leaving us. We are planning to get a laptop for when we go to Georgia. I don't know if that will be our only one or if we'll get another desktop also sometime. glad your prayer meeting was good. I went to one last night also. It was really nice. We were doing communion, and my nametag was covered with my jacket, so I whipped it back when I was ready to dip the bread in the wine, so he could see my name. I totally flustered him! I ate dinner with him and our pastor afterwards, and he was still going on about me "flashing" him. the pastor just shook his head. He told me that I always get myself into something. lol

Tomorrow I have chiropractor and a membership committee meeting for the County Retired Teachers. I was invited the last time because they want someone to take over the head person's position of the committee. It's not going to be me! I just can't do it.

Have a great day!!

Hope you are all well. Having a Fibro flare here. So tired. Going back to lay down.

I'll be back tomorrow, hopefully with more energy.

Take a moment, if you can, and watch this.
