Morning all,

I HAVE HAIR! I had thought I felt it down the back of my head over the past couple of days but the neighbour saw it when cutting off the straggly bits that didn't fall out. And it seems to be growing reasonably rapidly.
Today I go to the hospital for the check up. I will let you know what happens after that. I'm hoping for a clean bill of health again. :crossed:

Laura - My vege patch is 3 beds, timber framed, each 2metres by 1 metre ( metre is approx. 39"). I have a small back yard. Since I am taking out the hedge, I will use some of that ground to grow some more veges and maybe a fruit tree or too as well. I will try to attach some photos at the end of this.

Annie - what kids say and do! My response to the toy question would be that they can come back and buy toys anytime they like as long as they have the money to do it. And to get the money, they must earn it with chores and helping people. Never was much in the way of freebies in my place.

Happy - Busy as ever I see. There are times when we all need to have some downtime/ home time. I'm getting mine now and it is much appreciated. So much gets done.

Susie - sounds like you are looking forward to your holidays. Hope you have a great time and find some interesting stuff to look at, and to be amazed by.
I will be looking into the bathroom from next week. I have the house plans and I need to sort out the layout, then I can get people to have a look at it and advise on products to go there. I sort of know what I want, but I don't know if I can afford all of it. Luckily I can paint and tile myself and do some of the plastering and woodwork. So I just need some one to do the structural. DS2 can do the electrical. I have a nephew who is a tiler and he can advise me on that sort of thing. Maybe he might even do some for his old auntie.

Ceejay - Thank you for your kind words - it's meant a lot to me to have my friends here rally round and tell me off when I need it and praise where it is sometimes due. I am so lucky with my friends and family. They have been wonderful throughout the whole thing.
Hope your weather improves. Seems like you have been having rain up there forever. Send some this way please.

ODDU is knocking at the door for attention. He is outside because he rolled in a creek on our walk this morning. He does love water. So I had better get his breakfast, ensure he is dry and let him in.

Have a great day. I'm planning on one.

Good Morning from a weird Indiana sky. It was sunny, white clouds, dark clouds and a bit of rain while all that was going on. Big fat drops for about 2 miles. Tried to look for a rainbow but no success. That is one thing you can count on in Indy...stick around weather will change in a few minutes.

Grilled cheeseburgers and made cauliflower/broccoli with cheese sauce. The cheese sauce was velveeta, butter and heavy whipping cream and oh so good. All KETO. C also had leftover macncheese. Made the fresh berry dessert. Then was off to workshop. Funny how we read just what we need to hear and discuss.

Really really close to getting that 21st lb. Only like .3 away. The struggle is real. I know if I would ramp up...hahahaha...actually start doing some exercising that would be a miracle. lol.

OMGosh, just licked an envelope shut and got a paper cut on my lip. It won't quit bleeding. It is a card for a friend in my noon meeting today. She has 18 mos of sobriety. I am really proud of her as she is one that lost EVERYTHING. Home, BF, car, job and was homeless. She is now on her own in her own place, working and has learned the bus line like no other. She even sponsors a girl. Then tomorrow is my sponsor's sobriety birthday. 29 years. Wow that is saying something. She is getting married on June 10. So much positive and great inspirations in these two ladies.

LAURA...you certainly had a very busy holiday weekend. I was at HD over the weekend and bought some more weed n feed. It is called Vigero. THEE best for home application. Mike used it and now I do. One application does it with a follow up in about 6 weeks. I did apply about a month ago and my lawn is looking great. No trantrums when leaving Target. If you let them know in advance it is usually pretty successful.

HAPPY....remember..just say no thank you. :) How is your knee doing? and all other parts?

SUSIE...good luck with the VP here this week. Keep some time for you. Great job on the loss. Every oz. counts.

SHADDIE...HOOOORAH on the new hair growth! Do let us know how your final exam goes. Jacob is more than helpful and doing things to earn $$. Royce is another ornery matter.

CEEG...I am so happy you are enjoying your retirement. Good on you for not babysitting.

HI ELLEN!

Make it a great day all. It is Hump Day already.

Hugs

My nephew brought the boys over last night while he mowed the yard. Their momma teaches hot yoga. He had car trouble so she had to come and get the boys. I love to be around them but not keep them all the time. Took him to work this morning.
Monday I woke up with a sore throat and yesterday had a stuffy nose. Checked my temperature after the boys left and it was a 99.8. Hope I haven't given them anything.
I want to get outside and do some more of the yard work. He usually leaves the weed eating for me and I told him I would do that. It looks like rain.
Nephew is still with me until he hears back from his 90 drug day test. They are working together still and I'm happy for that. Now the other nephew is having some problems in his relationship.
Got tickled at the 5 year old last night. He had to go to the bathroom and wanted me to go with him. He uses a step stool at his nana's and asked where mine was. He said this bathroom looks a lot like nana's but no stool. hmmmmm. Guess I will get a stool now.

Shad
Woo hoo on the new hair growth. My brother in law has some of those raised beds for his small garden. We had fresh salad greens Monday. Yum.

Happy
You got some good things for the basement. Glad you got to enjoy part of the day. I've been wanting to try my hand at the lottery here. or maybe just a scratch off ticket to start with.

Annie
Think we all have that stay around long enough saying for the weather. I always thought that was an Arkansas thing but they say it up here too. Your food always sounds so good.

Susie and Ellen hello :wave:

Good morning ladies,

Glorious morning at last - should be a lovely day today - warm and dry for a change. DH is already out - I am going to sort and toss some laundry and then head out to the senior center for my salmon lunch - yum - and will stop at the store to pick something up for DH and then head out to do a bit of yardwork myself. Or go through a few more boxes in the garage. Very happy to have the warm weather back again. I appreciate it because it's brief. DH is talking about selling the side by side ATV. Pity that we barely used it and have lost 50 percent of it's value in the 3 short years we've had it. I think he should ask more than that. I have mixed feelings about selling it but we haven't used it much at all and what time we might use it, would be better spent on the boat instead. We can always continue to use the regular ATV we have, I just have to sit behind DH on it and with legs cramped into a seated position like a horse saddle, it's not comfortable for more than an hour's ride. DH said we should sell the UTV because we need a start to the savings egg IF we plan on taking that trip of a lifetime over to Shad's side of the pond in 2 years. :lol:

Yesterday at the shop was the usual drama. I am just tired and burnt out and I am letting it roll off my back like water off a duck...

Shad - I am so glad to hear that your hair is finally growing back in!!! You will have to let us know if the texture changes. Since you had thick and wirey hair if I remember, I hope it does not come in with an even tighter wave to it. :crossed: for a clean bill of health at the doctor's. Time to put this aside and get on with being Shaddie. :hug: Love your garden - looks like mine. I love the raised beds. You have managed to get a lot of mileage in your yard. I remember when you first started and just had some rows along the hedges. Hope the weather cooperates and you get a nice crop that you can finally enjoy. I thought you had remodelled both bathroom but perhaps I am confused. I remember some beautiful blue tiles you spoke of for one of the baths. Has DS moved out yet? Probably not if ODDU is still with you. Sunday the cat looks quite small in her old age. Still a pretty one though. And ODDU just has one of those don't blame me, I'm cute looks. :rofl:

Annie - I'm glad you are getting so much out of your workshops. Seems like we could all use a dose of that ourselves. And how nice to encourage and take support from those around you in your program. I do hope that your papercut stops bleeding. Those can be really nasty. Stay away from salted foods today. :eek: My knee is doing better thank you for asking. I think the improved weather is helping as is the cortesone shot. Hoping that will hold up for a while. How is your ankle doing? I guess we both have to watch to not overdo it and lose some ground in keeping us upright and walking spunky ;) I have heard that Vigaro is a really good brand of lawn care. How is C holding up? Is he keeping the stress and stomach issues at bay?

Laura - looks like you have been having some great weather your way. My sister sent me a picture of a rainbow in some interesting clouds yesterday - really pretty. Did BF win out and did you order a wooden garage door? Yay for getting the stain out of the tablecloth - sometimes when they have been set in and dried it's almost impossible to get out again. Nice that you did! I still have a problem getting grease / oil types of stains out of my shirts. I almost have to have a designated "bacon frying" shirt as even with the splash shield it makes a terrible mess. Your window boxes sound really pretty. I'm surprised you found something to work if you have the type of window sills like I did that were like a half a gray brick width. I think window boxes are so pretty and cheery.

Susie - yay - finally a vacation for you!!! Sounds like you will be fun busy and have lots of activities to enjoy. Hope the weather holds up too :crossed: You work hard all the time and deserve some R&R. Bummer that the concert got rescheduled but like you say - something to look forward to later in the year.

Ceejay - glad you didn't let them talk you into babysitting. You are still learning to enjoy retired life.

Hello to Dee and Ellen :wave: I need to get dressed and moving here.

Evening all. Posting from the train...

Shad - Yay for the hair coming back!! == You've got quite a veg garden, but I have to say those hedges look like they take up a lot of space and that you'll be able to enlarge the veg patch significantly once it's gone.== Structural changes - sounds like a big project for the bathroom.

Annie - Wow, that cheese sauce sounds decadent! I bet it tasted divine! == I've gotten a paper cut on my tongue from licking the envelope... == You've got some very inspiring people around you to keep you on track, that's a blessing for sure.

Happy - Glad the knee is doing better thanks to the shot & better weather. == We won't be getting a wood garage door - too much maintenance. == Yes, our window ledges are the gray stone, very skinny. Maybe I'll snap a photo of the window boxes &post it so you can see what I've settled for. Maybe I need to get creative & make a custom one for myself. == Yay for some home time for you. :)

Hellos to the rest of you.

Almost home, better post this quick! ! :wave:

Good news from the Cancer Centre yesterday. No residual problems, no cancer markers in the blood tests. Only thing that was down a bit in results was kidney function and they think it may have been that I was a bit dehydrated when I went for the test. Need to redo that one. Don't have to go back for 6 months. Next date 29/11/17. Guess that will come soon enough. We are already nearly halfway through the year.

Laura - yes the hedges take up a lot of space and now that they are going, I will have an extra metre of garden and the vege patch will get more sunlight. There aren't too many structural changes, I just need to shift a couple of walls to make some space. I may decide against that when I get a quote.

Happy - We only have one bathroom and when we did that up 10 or more years back, we obviously did not know much about waterproofing. So it will be done again. And I have to design the layout and hope it won't cost too much. No the DS2 and ODDU + cat are still with me. I think they will be here at least another 3 weeks.
I'm still working on an itinerary for your trip (with approximate costs) so you can choose what you want to see and do. Since we have two years, we can take it slowly. So far I have you coming into Auckland and then going north - Northland has some interesting places, then moving south slowly so you can see the mountains, lakes, thermal areas and down to the South Island for some real scenery and where you can go up Mt St John and to the astro centre and study the skies. Your best times to visit would be February, March, April or Sept, October times. If you decide to come over to Aus as well those times are very pleasant weatherwise and probably close to what you would get at home, minus the snow, in NZ

Ceejay - it's more likely you caught the head cold from one of the kids who is incubating one. Annie's saying about what a while for the weather is a global thing. You want weather, go to Melbourne, you will get 4 seasons in one day or maybe 8.
Hope the nephews sort out their problems soon.

Annie - Food sounds delicious. Isn't it human nature that we only read what we think we need to know. Boo on that paper cut. Geez they hurt. Royce may learn about working for money the hard way as did my DS2. Finally he is learning value.

Okay, that is about it from me. Better get on with the days jobs. Lots to do, little time. And it is COLD. Only 18C here in the house - that's about 56C. Winter has set in.

Hi Everyone, The week has gotten away from me. There is so much to do to get ready to go on vacation.

I have read through the personals and will comment on what I remember:

Shad: Hair and a clear report!!! :carrot::carrot::carrot::carrot::carrot: I am so excited for you.

Annie: I was reading your posts and when I got to that "cheese & crackers" part I burst out laughing..good thing I was home and not at work! :o

That is an awesome milestone for your friend with the 18 month sobriety. One day at time...that is so true for so many things.

Re the 21 lb loss...you will and can do it! Congratulations on the 20 that you have lost!

Laura: It sounds like you got a lot of plants potted. I haven't done much of that but I think it would be therapeutic.

Happy: Glad to hear you are getting a bit of summer and that you knee is feeling better.

Ceejay: Cute story about the step stool..it does sound like you might need to get one for your bathroom.

Hi Dee & Ellen!

I am heading to bed. See you tomorrow (hopefullyP

Good Morning and already Thursday. Yeah.

SHADDIE! YEAH! on the clean bill of health! That is WONDERFUL news. I am so happy for you!! Now back to the SHADDIE story we know and love. Your garden looks devine. Probably something like I should do but just don't want to monkey with it. We need to redo our guest bathroom but that is Sam and the boys bath for now. Not putting a dime into that till the little fellers can aim more accurately when they piddle. Good Lord, I know it doesn't get much better as adult men but at least MAYBE the bathtub, cabinet and surrounding floor will not get hit with piddle. Of course both boys gander around their surroundings while piddling and so does their winkers. Yep that is Samantha's job to scour, re-scour and scour some more in that bathroom. She does keep it up well cause it grosses her out. She is an OCD cleaner like me. Anyway, babbling. You will miss ODDU when DS moves out. You will have to have granny/ODDU dates and sleepovers. Hmmm, maybe your hair will come in auburn. I love that color, so pretty. Just sayin' Too bad we can't pick our new hair color when new growth begins.

SUSIE...if you are like me, you want to come home to a clean house when you go on vacation. That means packing and cleaning. bleh. But it will all be worth it for your great adventure.

LAURA...hope your train ride was pleasant. I have not had window boxes since I lived in my mobile home back in the early 80s.

HAPPY....mmmmm your salmon lunch got me thinking and don't you know Sis and I went out for a bite to eat (C was fishing, boys at their dads). I got the cajun grilled salmon on a spinach salad with hot bacon dressing. The HB dressing was disgusting. Tasted like straight bacon grease, warm at best. I asked for a side of bleu cheese. Much better. So glad your knee is doing better. I think when we have on-going pain we tend to not be in a very good mood, well at least I am not. Fingers crossed on good weather. C is not complaining much these days but walks with a slight limp. I think maybe because he likes to go fishing and doesn't want me to point out that walking on uneven ground might make his back worse. His stomach whoa's are kept silent too. Can't fool me. lol Thank you for asking.

CEEG....had to laugh about the step stool because both of my bathrooms have stools in them. My bath has a mickey mouse stool. Red and bright blue. Doesn't really go with the decor but who am I to kick Mickey out? You might want to let the family know that the front door is not a swinging door for all to come stay when having relationship troubles. :)

Hi ELLEN and DEE.

Ladies, not going to lie. JUNE is a tough month for me. Daddy passed June 1 - 4 years ago today. Michael passed June 7 - one year ago. Me and dad's BD are the 12th. Then father's day on June 18. Granted I am in a better place emotionally but it doesn't mean I don't have my moments of tears. Prayers and strength please.

I made it. My total loss since going KETO is 21.4. Yeah me!! Still loving this WOE...a lot. Only a couple of times I wanted to snack on something not KETO..BUT I DID NOT. KETO ON!! My starting weight was 192.4 to 171 since Feb 11. Slower than others but also so close to 1st goal of 169. Second goal 159. Just so I can say I weight less than 160. lol.

Be back to finish. Potty run.

Well lost my train of thought on what further I wanted to say. Go Figure!

Beautiful day here. Just lovely. Don't want to be stuck in this building. Today is my sponsors 29th sobriety birthday. Yeah!

Make it a great day. Hugs.

Evening all. Posting from the train again.

Shad - GREAT news re the final checkup!! Back to normal life now. :)

Susie - I hope you have a good WI tonight. :crossed:

Annie- Hope this month isn't too tear-filled for you. :hug: == Big congrats on the WL!! :carrot: You eat such yummy foods on Keto! Tempting to take it up myself. But I'd sure miss the bread...

Hellos to the rest of you!! :)

==
Bf got his upper braces off today, think he got the permanent retainer thingy placed behind the front teeth. Hopefully no more complaining about eating and food getting stuck, etc.

He's out to meet a couple friends tonight, one in from out of town. So I'm on my own, nice. Not sure what I'll do with myself. Well wait, there's definitely some of my laundry that needs doing. Fun stuff. Not.

And I'm starting a plank challenge tonight. I saw a fb post from my local YMCA this morning- they're doing a plank challenge in June. This one has you do 3 types of planks - the high plank, the one on your forearms and the side plank ( both sides) for that day's amount of time. Starts today with 10 seconds, ends on the 30th at 2 minutes. I've gotten beyond a 2 minute plank in a previous challenge, but this one is probably even more of a challenge because each day is essentially 4 planks. Wish me luck.

The relay for life event on Saturday has been moved indoors because the forecast is 80% chance of rain. What a bummer. I'll still attend, but I don't plan to stay very long.

That's about it for me. Have a great evening everyone.

Good luck on doing the plank challenge, Laura.

Shad
Great check up.

Annie
Yippee on losing the 21 pounds. I looked for a step stool today at Walmart but didn't see one. I will ask
my sis where she got hers. I sure do love these little guys. One good thing about my other nephew he does have his house.

Susie
I understand about the packing and getting ready for vacation. I would love to go to North Carolina. And you may be right about the cold/sinus problem coming from the little guys. As a matter of fact C did have an earache the day he was here.

Happy
Where are you today?

------
Not much going on today except running taxi for nephew while his vehicle is in the shop. He had to have it towed yesterday as the starter went bad. Good news is today he found out that the starter had a 2 year warranty so therefore he doesn't have to pay for anything. Not even the tow service.
Starting a newer diet this week but I haven't been following through on most things. No excuses just haven't given my 100%. But I think I will starting tomorrow.

Hidee Ho Everyone!

Well, well, well, almost afraid to post this but....was down 22.4 lbs today. So today's WI I am at 170. I might say, me thinks I am starting to like myself just a little. One lb from first goal 169. I am jazzed. Samantha's medium tops are fitting me quite nicely. Her pants and shorts are another thing as she wears a 6 or 7. I am in a 10. I was not a 6 or 7 til I was down into my 140's and that is just too skinny for my height. Some thought I was battling a disease at that time, even had the gall to ask me if I was. Size 8 or 10 will be just fine for me. Yes I am excited about this. Babble babble babble.

Samantha surprised me by coming down to lunch. We actually walked over to the city/county building (5 blocks) to turn in her updated divorce papers to the courts. Now just waiting on a final date, it's over date to be established. I am proud of her for doing ALL the paper work, getting a court date, appearing, signing up for the child classes she has to take and mostly for PAYING FOR IT ALL herself. Not so proud she is getting divorced. She will also be going back to her maiden name. Which is my divorced last name. Thank the good Lord C and I got married to get rid of that one. lololol. Then we walked another 3 blocks to Qdoba. YUM. I had a bowl burrito with no beans or rice. Lettuce, ground beef, tomato, pica, cheese, grilled veggies, guac and sour cream. DELISH! Then we walked 4 blocks back to work. YES I GOT MY EXERCISE IN. hahahhaa. Of course there was food involved that motivated me. :)

Too full to eat dinner so I had a couple of turkey bites. Kind of like slim jims but healthier. Less than a carb in 6 of those and no sugar. C ate leftover cheeseburgers and macncheese and then had his gluten free yogurt for dessert. The boys were napping when I got home as they had spent the day at Sam's ex-in-laws house. X-MIL called her and wanted the boys for the day as she already had her other 3 grandkids. The kids swam all day in her in-ground pool. It wore them out. The boys woke up in time for Sam to take Jacob to BB practice at 6. C and I had a quiet evening til about 7:30. C went to bed about that time. His buttock and leg were hurting him from the pinched nerve. He iced it before coming to bed.

This weekend is baseball. I will miss my Saturday meeting all the month of June as Jacob's ballgames are all scheduled at 8 am. Meeting is at 9 am. OUr neighborhood is supposed to have their garage sale tomorrow that the HOA hosts. Only one family on our two streets on this side of the pond participated. I don't know how many on the other side of the pond participated. The other side is about 6 streets. That is about all that is happening.

CEEG...great news on nephew's car being under warranty. Gotta love that. It is easy to get addicted to the littles. I know you must feel much closer to them since moving near them. What fun you can have with them, then send them home. When I send my grands home I still have them. :)

LAURA...Hope your evening was enjoyable without BF even if you did laundry. How do you do the side plank challenge. Guess I could google it. The weather man changed our rainy weekend to a sunny one. We shall see. Just never know.

Hello to all. Hey HAPPY where are you?

Have a marvelous weekend all. Hugs

Hi guys,

Sorry I didn't post. I got slingshotted from one place to another. DH and I are going for an ATV ride shortly so I will do a quick post.

Annie - congrats on the great weight loss!!! Whooo on fitting into size medium tops. It's all about how you carry yourself and you are looking fantastic from the photos you have posted recently. I know it's hard to deal with the adult reaction to Sam from the ex's but at least they are actively involved with the kids lives. Be happy for small blessings. :hug: I'm glad you are so happy with your KETO life - you are very adaptive to getting foods to work. If only they had KETO exercise :rofl: :lol3: :D :D :D No, don't pop me one :D Yuck on cleaning the toilet after the boys. DH knows better than to be sloppy.

Ceejay- good luck on the new diet. I know how hard it can be. But you will find your rhythm. Good luck finding a stool for the kiddies. :lol:

Laura - good going on the plank challenge. Sounds like something perfect for the summer. Build that core girl!!!

Susie - don't get overwhelmed before vacation although it always takes a lot of work to get ready to relax and have some fun :dizzy:

Shad - we would probably come see you in February because by then we are so sick of winter and cold and gray days. September and October are my favorite times of year up this way. We hang on to every drop of lovely autumn weather knowing that winter is just around the corner. I hope you don't wear yourself out getting the hedges removed. Funny for some reason I thought you had 2 bathrooms. :dizzy: I'm not good on remembering details - comes from hanging around with guys who get easily distracted - I swear it's rubbing off on me.

DH is ready to go so I'd better get dressed or I'll miss my opportunity. Be back later ...

Oh and we are going to a live performance tonight by Carl Palmer of Emerson, Lake and Palmer fame. They said it's an interesting show - he talks alot about the band and how they came to develop their songs and style. I'm surprised he's coming to our little town.

Evening all.

Sitting here at home with a glass of wine. Guess I'll let it sit 'til after I finish my plank challenge...

Ceejay - I'm sure you can find a step stool at a hardware store or a home improvement store, but they probably won't have the cute factor... Nice that your nephew's car repair is under warranty.

Annie - Another congrats, you're doing awesome with the WL! ! Do you ever eat anything in the morning or do you just have that keto coffee? I think my ideal plan would be one person cooking for me - healthy chow in sensible portions, and another person to follow me around slapping junky snacks out of my hands. :D == I'm glad S's divorce process is nearly complete. Will having a different last name from the kids present any issues? I think that's pretty common now, so prolly no biggie.

Happy - Hope you enjoyed the ATV ride today and you enjoy the Palmer show tonight

Hellos to the rest of you. Susie, safe travels to you and your dh if we don't see you here before you leave. Enjoy.

==

I've been wearing my new progressive eyeglasses the past couple days now and at times everything is swimming before me and looking down is scary. My ears got stuffy (fluid-filled) as the day went on and I took off the glasses and took my Sudafed. Don't need to be totally off-balance. The Sudafed isn't helping this time, darn it.

Bf is glad to have the braces off, but is somewhat disappointed it didn't transform him into Mr Perfect, lol. But his teeth are now very straight and don't stick out, very nice IMO.

I didn't do laundry last night, just the plank challenge & some tv.

I have a hair appointment late tomorrow morning. Then the relay event for a short time in the afternoon. I wonder if they will move it back outside if the forecast improves significantly.

Back now, after dinner & planks. Now we're going to home Depot to look at a garage door & a front entry door.

Ok, need to post this & change clothes before we leave. Have a great weekend everyone.

Hello Everyone. I am officially on vacation . We will leave on Tuesday morning. I am excited to get out of her and do something different.

I had a loss at TOPS last night. I have lost 55.6 lbs since I started this way of eating and exercise program. I feel so good and it is nice to wear smaller clothing as well and I can cross my legs again and keep them crossed! :carrot:

I have gone from a size 26 to a 18/20. I want to be a 12/14. I am in awe of Annie who is a size 10. I haven't been a size 10 since I was 21!

At my highest weight with TOPS I was 315 (that was back in November 2016) and I am now 247. The other day at church someone said to me, I am looking at you and it looks like you just shrank! Where is your belly? I couldn't stop smiling

Annie: I am so proud of you for sticking to Keto and reaching your goals. I hear you on how great it feels.

I was LOL when you were talking about the grandsons and the bathroom, because it is so true! I remember when my first set of nephews were small; I would have to tell them to look straight ahead and concentrate! Same with the little nephews now.

I hope C is feeling better and got that pinched nerve worked out.

Laura: That is a great plank challenge and I would say you are very strong if you can do side planks! Good for you!

Hopefully they will move the Walk for Life back outside if the weather allows.

Did the trip to Lowe's end with a choice on the garage and entry doors?

Ceejay: Sounds like you have a good plan to reboot and start back on a diet to get you healthy.

That was good news about the nephews' battery

Happy: Sounds like you had a fun day planned with the ATV ride and the Palmer music.

Shad: Did you start on the bathroom yet?

Hi to Ellen and Dee!
