Good morning all. 39 heading to 54 here in MB while at home the day is starting at 23 and will reach 36 this afternoon. A couple of walks on the beach yesterday - enjoyed that so much. We also went to the driving range. Hubby wanted some practice but my main aim was to see how my hip reacted and everything seems just fine!! A happy me š. Make this a special Sunday.

Good morning everyone. It is 29Āŗ and headed to lower to mid 40s later. The sun did shine yesterday afternoon and hope it does again today.
The trip to Dollar general was uneventful but we all got what we needed. I got home just in time for Makayla to drop little Pyper off (her dog). She's small and easy to take care of. She's laying at my feet right now.
No big plans for me today.
Tasty...Enjoy your time at MB. Yay on the gold swing not hurting your hip! That means you can resume golfing this summer. Have you done any curling this winter?
Melissa...I do not envy you having to do that colon prep. Good luck with it.
Leslie...Sorry that it is difficult and expensive for you to have cats taken care of when you are just trying to do the right thing.
Wendy....Of course you are back tidying up the community. You are a garden angel to your neighborhood.
Karen....Those sores are very serious and glad they addressed them as such. I have to take Lair to the wound clinic every other week to have his cared for. Do you not have a pill cutter? Our pharmacy has them on the counter for free.
Marlene....We have been spoiled with these warmer temps and the slightest windchill now seems bitter cold.
Sandy...Do you have any 2nd hand stores in your area? I have found many beautiful frames there.....cheap!
Elaine....How fun that your friends have happy hour every Saturday. My friends from here are once again going to Arizona so I hope the weather is good there for their visit. His uncle that lives there passed away and he is executor so it is a business trip rather than a fun trip for them.
Bette....The SP rolls sound very good.
Gayle...Out on the town 2 nights in a row....good for you!
Wishing everyone a lovely day. Charlene

Good morning. It's 40 now and heading to 58. I guess Tasty will be cooler because of the sea breezes. Church this morning and then I think I'll work on my taxes. I'm usually done by now but last year was different with 2 different jobs and other things. I still haven't downloaded my W2 from the staffing agency so that will be the first step. I also want to get on the Zenni website and see about ordering a spare pair of glasses before my prescription expires in a few days.
Tasty, glad you enjoyed your day yesterday and your hip didn't complain. I spent a little time raking and hauling leaves to the hole and can feel it a little today, especially my right arm.
Karen, I agree with Charlene about those sores. While I don't have a diabetic in the family my oldest DGD gets pressure sores all the time that don't heal easily because they are on areas that are still under pressure just from being in her wheelchair so much. They can actually be deadly if not treated and don't heal properly.
Hope everyone has a wonderful day.

Good morning. 29 and very foggy with .5 mile visibility. It was extremely foggy yesterday afternoon/evening. It never got as warm as predicted and the sun never broke thru. It was 31 and quite damp. We spent about 3 hours walking in the woods with our buddy. Not much snow in the woods so pretty easy walking. Last year when we went in February we had to take turns busting trail with the snow shoes and it was exhausting. This was much better.
We did finally get some wood cut and split yesterday. Dh cuts until his saw runs out of gas. He got quite a bit cut and some really big stuff. Of what we cut we maybe split just under half. May go do some more this morning. Dd had fun at the dance. The girls all looked cute in their dresses when we did pictures.
No plans for later in the day since I have my prep day. May get a walk in this morning. Iāll plan to read and will watch some of the pro bowl. Having my coffee with just liquid sweetener this morning. Missing the cream! But I will survive and will look forward to a good cup of coffee tomorrow afternoon. 12:30 is late for the procedure but I look at it this way. Iām obviously the easiest patient of lowest concern for the day. So not a bad position to be in.
Tasty-Great news on the hip. I hope you continue to be able to enjoy golfing.
Have a great day.

Good morning all. Bright sunshine and a heavy frost. It got sunny sometime when I was out yesterday.
I found what I was looking for and wanted to stop at 2 other stores. I went driving right by them LOL! I said oh well! Not a big deal anyways.
Today I will get busy putting pictures up and finish my diamond dots. Almost finished that yesterday but my eyes were getting tired.
Have a load of laundry going and dishes to wash nothing to exciting.
Have a great day.

N plans for the day except for church. Yesterday I watched several episodes of Everwood, season 3. I'm halfway through that and am seriously considering skipping the rest of 3 and going to season 4. Tasty, glad you were able to walk without pain. I will do my best to make this a special Sunday. Leslie, I hope to drop my tax worksheet off tomorrow. I smiled when you wrote you were raking leaves since up here in MN we don't do that after October. Melissa, hope your colonoscopy goes well tomorrow. I'm at the age where that is not required any more. Sandy, I've seen diamond dots pictures and am amazed at the work that goes into them. Smile at someone today. It may be the only smile they receive. Marlene

Marlene, I am afraid if you do that you may be lost in season 4. I am a couple episodes into season 4. At least watch the last 2 episodes of #3 which would get you in the loop.

Charlene, I didn't curl at all this winter. The start of the season would have been too soon after the surgery and to be honest, I've been away from the game for 3 full years and I think I would feel like a beginner all over again. If I hadn't had the issue with my hip, I'm sure I would still be curling 2 or 3 times a week but I'm wary of falling on the ice so I doubt I will play again. I do miss it but . . . While hubby is still curling I still have a connection to the game and the people.

Good morning all! 65 and cloudy. It rained while in church this morning. Cooled things down to needing a jacket. I go back at four for choir rehearsal for Easter.
Mary, Publix is very expensive. I only go there for brand name products that Aldis doesn't carry. I used to go every week when I took Pastor's mother to get her hair done. Now I go to Aldis and can't believe the savings. Especially with produce.
Since I only have a few hours between going to the church I'll probably just stitch. I'm working on one of the projects I got at the craft cottages yard sale.
Have a peaceful Sunday.

Good afternoon. It was 12Ā°here this morning but it is sunny. Not a cloud in the sky. I am just breezing through and reading. I have been busy since 4:30 this morning wearing many hats. Started with computer. Am still plagued with the email problem that I have been working on since September and still not resolved. Made myself change hats at 10:30 and started cooking. Have a batch of Sweet Potato Rolls in the over rising. Since then I am vacuuming and being a bit of a gardener cleaning up the Boston fern. At this point nothing is finished and I am jumping back and forth as it becomes time to take action on some thing I have already started.
Have a great day.

It sure is wonderful to see the sunshine today! We never saw much of it yesterday and what we did kinda/sorta see was still covered in clouds. This is full blown SUN. Yippee!!! It may only be in the upper 30s, but the sun makes it feel almost spring-like. I don't know how many trips I have made outside today to straighten my bird feeders on the pole, but it is a lot. My goal has been to try to and have them each positioned so I can see all of them without much movement on my part when I look out the window. I've tried many times before today, even soliciting DH to help eyeball the placement of each. That was not a good idea. He was standing and I will be sitting. Plus, he's a good foot taller than me. What looked good to him was way off for me. Finally, I have it the way I want it and the birds are enjoying my efforts. It's been a delight to watch the house finches and hear even the crows "cawing" in the distance. When I came home from church, I decided I'd put some peanuts out on the patio table for the blue jays. I get a kick out of watching at least one of them weigh the peanuts before choosing which one to take. I was not disappointed. A jay has been here weighing peanuts a few times before flying off. Loved it! A drawback to the sunshine is that it is shining off of the screen in such a way that taking a picture was futile. Of course, the spotty office windows don't help either. During one of my trips outside, I decided it was warm enough to put water in the unheated bath. I was treated to a bird getting a drink as well as another one taking a bath. That's a first for the year. In keeping an eye on the peanuts on the patio table, I see a squirrel has found them also. Fair enough, I've had my joy. Today I will have to do some listing and ordering of DH's movies so they can get back into the movie closet. I am going to need my seedling tables for their original purpose pretty soon. The seedlings can only stay on the desktop for so long. I'm running out of room and they need the warmer lights. This will probably take up most of my day. I'm glad I got outside early on and enjoyed the sun when I did. Pretty morning meme, Charlene. DH was mad at me for making the appointment because he didn't think the sores were "that bad". Maybe they weren't, but we were not the people to decide that. They had stopped oozing by the time we saw the PA, but she still felt the antibiotics were needed. If she didn't do it, I'm guessing the podiatrist would have when we see him on the 8th. Better to nip possible infections in the bud! I was using a pill cutter. That still didn't matter with the size of the pills and no dividing line on them. It was very tedious. I imagine I had to have split 70 pills or so, which took forever. I plan to make sure the doctor notes the change on DH's chart so when it comes time to reorder this particular prescription the lower dose is what we get. How sweet to have little Pyper laying at your feet like that! Hope you are getting sunshine also. It makes a world of difference sometimes. Tasty, I'm glad you were able to enjoy a few walks on the beach yesterday. That had to feel pretty amazing. Being someone who has hip issues, I'm thankful that you are not having any trouble with yours. I'm sure, Leslie, that your DGD's pressure wounds are of great concern to everyone. That is certainly not something everyone has to worry about, so it is an eyeopener when we encounter things like that. I hope she never has any serious issues with the wounds. She has enough to deal with already. Good luck finding glasses you like. I was surprised that I was able to select a pair that I had singled out online. They actually looked better in person than online because the color they are was what I was looking for, not just settling for something close. Thinking of you today and tomorrow, Melissa. Treat yourself bigtime after the procedure is done! Sandy, I hope you find just the right places for your pictures you will be putting up. Nice that you found what you were looking for so easily. I'm totally onboard, Marlene, with your advice to smile at others. We never know just how much someone may need a boost to their day. How did you like First Watch, Mary? We have one nearby that a friend and I have talked about checking out. Good thing you have Walmart for your groceries. Now you know where to go from now on. Very nice on the hyacinth blooming! I'd love to have one in bloom for two weeks, but I guess I can't have one in bloom if I don't buy one. LOL! Guess I better go dig up something for lunch before I start on DH's movies. Wishing everyone a superb Sunday! Waving to anyone I missed.

Good afternoon, it is 49Ā° and sunny. I have decided to do nothing today. It will be a day of rest.
Nothing going on here so not much to say. Have a good day.
