That's funny. I'm on a break from calorie counting while the Grands are here and we made banana bread! It was fabulous.
BTW I think calorie counting gets tedious but it's a great tool to get on track.

What a coincidence that we both made banana things.

I agree about calorie counting on both counts (ha); I know exactly where I am, but it gets to be a grind. I'm thinking of maybe trying a different diet for a while just to break things up; the Mediterranean maybe. Or maybe just incorporating more low calorie Mediterranean meals into my life.

My early walk at 6:50 temp was 46 as I went around the building once before breakfast
I never know when I'll get a phone call from Marcia about dog sitting, my 'buddy boy' Tage,of late I've been with him almost every wk. Yesterday she called, I told her I had no plans for today,she's picking me up at 11:15. She'll be gone for a couple of hrs, perfect way to start the 1st day of spring
When I get back,read today's NYT, then having dinner in dining room at 5:30 with couple of friends

Sounds like a lovely day!
 
Good Morning, Everyone and Happy Spring Equinox! 🤗 💐 :coffee:

Today I'll be planting some zucchini, summer squash, cherry tomatoes and cucumbers in buckets my husband has drilled holes in for me.

We'll be getting more seeds and starts in the next few days, but what I have is enough for today.

Hoping everyone woke feeling good this morning.
 
I slept well, and late....right now, I seem to be feeling better. I'll reaccess that once I'm more awake! 😉

Did I mention that it's been horribly windy all week? We've had gusts around 50 mph/80 kph. (I'm sure that has had a lot to do with how lousy I've been feeling all week!) Anyway, just as I was going to bed last night, we lost our power. It was out for about 2 hours. I'm guessing that a tree blew down and took some powerlines with it. Everything is fine, now, and it looks like the wind might be dying down a bit.

I'm hoping to a "normal" Thursday....go to the gym, get coffee, run a few errands, come home. At this point any kind of "normal" in my day would be welcome!

With luck, I'll be back to read your posts, later in the day.

Happy spring!!!!
 
Oh its so hot out there today..🌞🌞.I've been sitting in the garden with my headphones on... listening to a court case... had to come in and cool down..


I wonder if anyone would allow me to be buried on a hilltop in Missouri.... think I might have to be dead first..:unsure:

There's a question.... has anyone ever buried or scattered ashes of a loved one in a different country to where they lived ?

Yes
 
Coffee,more coffee please.

The usual morning through the house. Then cinnamon rolls. Got an Amazon order together. It seems to be impossible to find boot leg yoga pants of a decent quality under 75-100$ at a local store. Same brand/model 50$. So be it. Several boxes of my stuff are waiting for a friend to get them.

It looks like the winds have calmed down some. Time to check for damages and maybe get started out front.

Almost weekend:>)

Happy first day of spring, y'all! Spring has sprung, the grass has riz. I wonder where the flowers is?--Pogo or Ogden Nash or whomever you choose to believe said it first.

It's nice right now, but the temp is going to stay pretty much right where it is now (53F) all day.

My aching back! I knew yesterday when I'd had enough and it was time to quit, but there was just this one thing, that that one other thing, then...I didn't quit. I did sleep the sleep of the innocent last night though.

@NotCompSavy Thank you! What subject are you going to mentor me on? And when will we know that it's time to go live on Instagram or TikTok?

Setting up a natural planted fish tank which due to plant life does not require much or any work , something you and your friends can enjoy for years to come but I have no idea how to use instagram or TikTok I had planned to use a land line phone .

Do you kids still use them ?

You will be the talk of the town with a planted tank .

Edit : Btw the choices are setting up a tank , plumbing or bad comedy but now all of a sudden you are picky ?

Well, the tank requires some plumbing and you can always do some underwater comedy.
 
Today DS dropped off baby grandson (TGS's younger brother) for the day, so I put my spreadsheets aside until tomorrow. They can wait.

The little guy is just over a year old and isn't quite walking yet, still crawling and "cruising" furniture. Very chill temperament and like TGS he loves to be held. Need I even say that we're happy to accommodate that desire?

I'll check in later. In the meantime I hope you all have a lovely day. ❤️
 
A great afternoon at the theatre. The pie was good as was the pint of cider and In spite of the subject, today's play - called 'Dookin Oot' was hilarious.
Plot:- An elderly dying lady wanted to end her life in Switzerland, but couldn't afford to go.
To help, her carer decided to become a Dominatrix to earn enough for the lady's final trip. She was aided by the friendly postman who set up a website for her.
On her final Christmas, the lady was given a '~~X' toy by the postman, but the pleasure she got from it was too much and she died of a heart attack and never made it to Switzerland.

Another go to town morning. Meeting with my funeral home to organize and finalize the arrangements. Oh boy! I am having a green burial. Everything quickly biodegradable. :) on a hilltop in Missouri, in the graveyard of slaves. My people to rest for "eternity". :)

Biodegradable burial is my choice. Have yet to find WI info on it. I detest cremation & that my son's body had to be cremated because we could not come up with enough funds for a regular burial hurts very much.
 
I'm posting about yesterday because it was such a lovely day. I got up later than planned (3:10 a.m.) but was still able to empty the litter box and gather up the garbage for my son to take out when he left for work at 3:30. I also made two prayers before sunrise. I ate breakfast and napped on and off until about 11:30. I had a “date” with my middle grandson that I had to get ready for. I loaded the dishwasher then cleaned up the kitchen and bathroom before I left.

Grandson picked me up around 1:30 and we took the scenic route around the mountain until we finally found the look out spot. He suffers from bipolar disorder and has episodes of depression. I want to spend more time with him doing pleasant, peaceful things, especially taking in nature. We had a nice conversation, as usual, while we sat there and analyzed the cloud formations, watched several planes overhead and people watched. Among them was a little girl who seemed to suddenly get scared of her cute robot dog after playing with it for a while and a lady pushing a stroller which surprised us and the man on the next bench when we saw a dog in it. GS and I made plans to do more things together in the coming weeks.

These are pictures I took of that spot when my honorary daughter (HD) and I went up there almost two years ago to watch the sunrise.

I was home for less than two hours when my HD called and said she was coming to spend the night because it will be raining in the morning. Leaving from here shaves 13 minutes off her walk to the bus stop. I’m glad I cleaned the kitchen and bathroom before I left because I was feeling tired (or was it lazy) after I got home and just wanted to watch TV. She and I watched the latest episode of Will Trent then we all went to sleep fairly early. She was on the couch (which is very comfortable for sleeping), me in my recliner and my son went to bed. I’ll wait until later to see if I do anything worth posting today.

I don't know if you believe in prayer Hawkdon, but I do regularly pray for pain relief for my two grandsons and my friends, even online ones, who suffer from chronic pain. So naturally you are included in that. 🤗
