Fifty & Up Friends

 Good Morning. Here I am back again for another post.  Amazing!  It looks like we'll be having a nice week of good weather. That is good. I have to work my usual days this week.  However we have a bunch of training at the nursing home.  Yesterday for example it was a five hour stretch.  Wed and Thurs there will be a two hour and three hour session.  At least my training is 10 hours rather than 13 hours.  I also have busy days at the shop working on fiscal year end. 

Do it, Donna, take that trip to Vegas; you deserve a bit of respite more than anyone else I can think of. And you can't beat that price.

Hi Donna,

Even your busy week sounds like vacation after the frantic pace you had going before the wedding. It shows in your ability to make it to the garden more often. I've missed you here.

Glad to hear that your weather is good. That may prove incentive for you to get back to walking. I understand the weight watch too. I have been trying to reduce my stress level and watch what I'm eating. I've lost about 7 pounds. Slow is the only way to go. The holidays will prove to be the test though. I really love the food LOL!

Just take it as it comes, you'll be fine.

Board hawg!   LOL, LOL, LOL!  Sorry, couldn't resist being a rascal, you know I don't mean that!  I love when you come here and post often, other than the word-of-the-day post, I mean.

Donna, you inspire me with the way you are keeping your weight in check, good for you!   I need to take your method to heart and start cutting back after only gaining a pound or two instead of waiting until I've gained *10* pounds, THEN, start dieting.  The older I get, the harder it is to lose.  If I didn't exercise every day (yes, I have been FAITHFUL about that lately, I either walk or go to Curves <or sometimes do BOTH> 5 days a week....I rest on weekends...;-)...), I would be as big as a barn, as my Mother says.  But I really do need to cut back on food, which is hard to do right now...;-).  Exercise makes me hungry....lol.

My goodness, gurrrrl, you get a lot of e-mails!  I'd be sitting at the computer 24/7 if I had that many e-mails to answer!

Donna, listen to me.....GO TO VEGAS for Thanksgiving.  No one deserves a trip like that more than you.  Your DH would enjoy it too, once he got there.  Just tell your kids, "You're on your own this year," and GO!  That is a great price.....just do it!!!

Hope you are having a good day.  Talk to you soon!

Well, I ate very well for supper tonight.  I cooked a rump roast, mashed potatoes, gravy, buttercup squash.  It all tasted so good.  I like to make a good old fashioned meal on occasion.  I still have lots to do at the shop.  I'm not anywhere near done there. 

It does not look like we'll be going to Vegas. Oh well it was fun to check out. 

I got a nice walk in today.
