Well, It's me

I was very disappointed yesterday morning when I stepped on the scales, I had gained a lb., so the rest of the day I really tried to eat right.  Lately, it seems all I want is sweets.   I look for them in the freezer to see what I can find.  I think I got use to eating some of those things during the holidays, and it got my taste buds wanting more. I did drink alot of water.  Right now I can't think of things that you guys posted.  I read them yesterday afternoon, So I just hope none of you are like me.  I'm trying to get back on track. Joy--hope you and Archie are doing ok down south.  Jane, hope Bill is still improving and you are getting caught up on your rest.  Ginnyjane, always good to hear from you, Dolores, I think you lost some weight, you are getting your exercise, keep it up.  I better try to get something done this morning.  It's nearly 9 am. So for now, until after I have breakfast, maybe my "thinker" will get better.  I slept alittle later this morning.  Will check in later today, So take care for now.  Lois

Hi

We've had over a week of wet, cold weather...a couple nice days 10 days ago and cold weather before that...this has to be the longest cold spell we've had in the 21 years we've been coming here.  Usually a week maybe at a time  but this is ridiculous.  Archie is enjoying his chair very much!  Last Saturday we went to the flea market because we were both so bored with the weather and maybe we should have stayed home as it would have been cheaper.  Archie's knee and leg have been giving him aches and pains when he walks too much or rides his bike too long.  Anyway we ended up buying a four wheel scooter for him and it really is nice.  He helps the park owner a lot and now he can save his legs checking on the various jobs.  It easily drives into our shed.  Today is my 75 and Archie had a surprise party planned for me but due to the cold weather we have to wait until next week.  He had to tell me as he was getting too many phone calls about the cancellation.  Lois, I know how you feel when all those goodies keep showing up.  My SIL gave us some bran muffins on Sunday when we went our to dinner with her.  Then Monday night our game playing friends brought over cake for my birthday.  When we were shopping on Saturday Archie wanted some rolls so I bought them and helped eat them.  Dolores, I feel almost as though I'm in Alaska with this weather.  Can't really enjoy being outside here either.  I, too,  hope Jane and Bill are still doing OK.  Running a slow blower is something I don't think I could do but seems we all end up doing things we never thought we could do.  Hope her computer gets fixed so we don't lose her.  Have a good day...Joy

A VERY HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO YOU, SO SORRY ARCHIE HAD TO CANCEL YOUR SURPRISE TILL LATER.  THAT SCOOTER SOUNDS LIKE FUN, GET ON IT AND RUN ALL OVER THE PARK. I KNOW ARCHIE WILL APPRECIATE IT AND WILL SAVE ON HIS KNEES.   I wish Leo was home every day so we could run around more, i love to go garage sales and resale shops, find alot of goodies sometimes, but with the son' knees and feet, he feels like he needs to help him.  He does take off at times.  Our weather has been weard too,  I am getting to wonder about our weather people, they predicted snow for last week end, we got freezing rain, but we did get rain this past Saturday, and we really needed it.  Hope you have a great birthday party when you have it.  You and your friends there seem to have so much fun, always on the go doing things.  Enjoy every minute of it, TIME FLYS.  Till later, take care.  Lois

Good Morning Ladies

How is everyone this morning?  I am doing OK.  I have had a healthy breakfast and snk and have had a long ride on my bike.  If I can keep this up, I think I will be OK. ; )  It isn't easy staying on track tho is it?

Now if I can get myself in gear and get this house cleaned up I will be on a roll.  LOL  I don't know if I have that in me right now or not.

Joy I hope you had a great birthday.  Somehow I think I missed it.  Lois I hope your weather is getting better as every one else.  I have a hard time remembering so forgive me.  I guess I should take notes.  Jane, I forgot and sent you a email and got it back.  : )  GinnyJ,  how is refusing peanut butter going?  I don't have any in the house, so it is OK here.

Well you ladies have a good day and I wil talk to you later,

Dolores

Good Evening

Just finished having entertainment in our park so I'm back home.  Archie and I schedule the entertainment about once every three weeks.  The sun visited us today so I washed clothes and hung them out to dry.  I only did two loads as I didn't get started until after bible study.  Dolores, glad to hear you are getting a little exercise....I do my back therapy every day but should be doing more.  Lois, there are days I wish Archie could find more to do so I could work on my quilts.  He was busy helping the park owner all day but  was busy with bible study, laundry, and getting ready for entertainment.  Don't know how I changed the print but too tired to worry about it.  The temp got to 60 today...felt good plus no rain.  We've had 2.1 inches since last Saturday and we didn't even have .25 all last winter.  Have a good weekend!  Joy

WOW,  I haven't hung my cloths out on a ling in sooo long.  I love to smell fresh washed sheets that have been hung outside.  I don't even have a cloths line.  : (

I had not been to the gym in a few days and today my body is quite sore.  ; )  I had been riding my bike at home so guess the different exercises made me sore.

It is suppse to warm up here today.  My husband said it is supppose to be 35 by seven and snowing again. ; (  We have had 70 something inches this year and the normal is 40 something I think.

Well you have a wonderful day and I will catch you later,

Dolores

Hi girls

Sure hope Jane gets their computer fixed and gets back on line.  I had to take mine in yesterday, ever since they worked on it, it has some strange things coming up and I had to hit Y to get it to come on, so I took it back yesterday and picked it up today.  I went to bed about 9:30 tonight, watch alittle tv and dozed off, then I woke up and could'nt go back to sleep, it is now 1:00 am. I am going to read alittle and see if I can get sleepy.  I hate nights like this. Me and one of my sisters and her friend went shopping this morning, it's called "bargain box", people give them the items, then they sell it to the public and give the money  to help others.  Ladies that work in these places do not get paid, ( unless it's "goodwill places") Anyway, I found a new skirt, sweater and a nice dress jacket.  I need the jacket cleaned, the other 2, I washed.  Skirt is fully lined.  Dolores, I heard on the tv today that Alaska has had more bad weather and snow than they ever had.  Can you tell it's worse than usual?  Well, guess I'd better get off here and try to get to bed soon, we're suppose to eat with sister,niece and hubby in the morning.  I'll be dragging. Hope everyone has a  great week end and good food choices. Take care, Lois

Yes,  Me to.  It is tough when our computers go out.  I sure do miss everyone when mine is down.

Don't you just hate it when you wake up in the middle of the night and can't go back to sleep.  When I do that I might a well get up for a while.

Sounds like you found some great bargins.  I haven't been shopping in a while.  I need to do that to.

yes, Alaska has had a rough winter, as I am sure you know from my complining.  LOL  We have had 76 inches of snow this winter and usually it is about 40 something.  They are running out of places to put it out of the streets.  It has warmed up a little, so hopefully it will stay that way until some of it melts.  At least I hope so.

Have fun at Breakfast and make good choices.  ; )  You have a good one and I will catch you later.

Dolores

What's happened to everyone?

Hey, it's been awhile since we all posted.  I guess we are all getting lazy,( I know I am.) or maybe you're just too busy.  I hope Jane is back on soon.   It's a beautiful sunny day, but very windy and cold.  I have washed clothes today, folded and put away, washed and rolled my hair, we are having pictures made this afternoon for our church directory. They do this every so many years.  I hate doing it, I hate having my picture made.  I guess it looks too much like me.  Then tonight is our McKee eat together once a month.  We enjoy that, because usually there's several nieces and nephews there.  We had oatmeal for breakfast and I had an apple for my snack.  I forgot to weigh in yesterday.  Hope all of you are doing ok, and TRYING  to make good food choices.  Talk to you later, got a few things I need to get done.  Lois

Well for gooness sake.  I posted a message to you earlier and came back and it isn't here.  Guess it went off into cyperspace.  ; (    I hate that when that happens.  OH well Hope I can remember what I said.  LOL  I doubt it very much.

I haven't done anything this morning except for going to exercise and going to the grocery store.  I probably should be busy doing something around here as it house looks like a tornaato struck it.

I understand not wanting to get pictures made.  I hate getting pictures made of me to.  Just getting to old for that these days.  LOL

Nice having family eat togethers once a month.  Wish I could do that, but no family members here except for my son.

Well guess I better get busy.  Talk to you later,  Have a good one.

Dolores
