    Good morning Dale :wub:

    I didn’t see your post tile after I posted :lol: Weird.
    Good morning Sara :wub:
    ‘That happens to me when I don’t refresh before posting ;)

    Hoping you have a decent day yourself.



    Hoping to see dad sometime this week, he finally agreed to accept help from hospice. I know Mary has to be relieved. I don’t think he has much longer with us. Mary says he may not know who we are but I want to visit anyway.

    Ohhh Dale. I am real sorry to hear that. I'm glad that he has decided to allow Hospice to help. I definitely understand wanting to see him and you absolutely should. (((hugs)))

    That or I don't realize there's another page of posts. I usually click on notifications and then click on one of them :lol:

    Grilled cheese and tomato soup for dinner. Boys had haircuts this evening, so it's just me and my girl, Lucy. Hope everyone's day was decent.

    Hey there. I made it to the gym 3 days in a row but the rain is messing with me so I am not sure I will go today. We'll just have to see. I know 17 lbs makes a big difference in clothes because most of my workout clothes are SNUG. Hopefully, by summer I will be back down so my old clothes will fit. Fingers crossed here.

    Yesterday I had a bit of "retail therapy" to do. I have not done that in so long. It seems like I have just been running the household and paying bills. (other than those 2 pair of $8 boots when I was looking for Ken a birthday gift, which I never did get) After the gym today, I decided to go to the thrift store and I had a wonderful time. ]

    I bought 8 shirts, a leather pocketbook, 2 greeting cards, 2 pillows for the couch, and a leather coat. I could not turn it down because it was only $14.99. You may not believe this but it is the first leather coat I have ever owned. All the shirts were 25 and 75% off. I love a good deal. Two of the shirts still had the Kohl's price tag on them. I love thrift store.

    I also went to the Dollar Tree and ended up spending $34. I have never spent that much in a $ store. It was not all mine, I bought the woman's behind me. It makes me feel good to do that. Of course, she did not have a cart full. I'm generous, not crazy.

    It is like a heat wave through here. Een not it is 62 degrees. Weird. I just wish there was not so much rain in the forecast. We have a cold wave coming and the high will be 43. I hate drastic weather changes. Grrrr

    We had Chinese tonight. Just the frozen bag of General Tso with veggies. It had a bit of a kick to it. I added fried rice and a salad. Pretty good.

    Hope you all have a wonderful Fri-Yay eve.

    Good evening Dale :wub:

    Hope you had a good day. thank goodness tomorrow is Friday. I can't wait for the weekend to sleep in. Hoping to anyway :lol:

    Used the last jar of beef stew, that we canned, for dinner. I made mashed potatoes to go with it. Hope Dh doesn't want to can that ever again, I did not like the taste of the actual beef chunks. I'm not even sure how you could improve the flavor of it.

    I'm heading up to watch some tv and get to bed early.

    We drove to Arkadelphia and saw dad and also my best friend and her husband.
    ‘Supper was Mexican at a restaurant we stopped at on the way home. Sorry your beef stew was a disappointment :(

    I hope you sleep well tonight and have a great Friday, Bela is coming tomorrow for the weekend.

    Good morning lurkers :wub:

    Ugh, went to bed at 8 and now I’m wide awake.

    I’m glad you got to see your dad, Dale. (((Hugs))) How nice to have dinner with your best friend.

    Hope everyone has a great day!
    Good morning Sara :wub:
    Ah uh we didn’t have dinner with our friends, we stopped on our way home just DH and I.

    Happy Friday to you :)

    oh geez, sorry Dale. reading comprehension fail. :blush:

    Too tired to cook, we had a coupon for a free pizza. Took full advantage of that.

    Hope everyone had a great day!
    Good evening Sara :wub: I know you must be happy that it’s Friday evening ;)

    I had leftover pizza myself. DH and Bela are gone to the church for game night.

    Made it to the gym again. Ken says he is getting jealous of Jim (play on words). He's goofy.

    It was an unseasonably warm day. I think it was 72. We took a motorcycle ride but I had to take off my leather jacket because it was too warm. It was cloudy early in the day but the sun was hot when it came out. Did not stay long and got cloudy again. That is okay. The ride was nice.

    It was bound to happen but Ken dropped my bike today. We were in a parking lot getting ready to look at motorhomes and he was turning around. It was a small hill but when 1100 lbs starts to go, there is not much you can do. Everyone I know has dropped theirs. Ken apologized and he felt so bad. I just made a joke about it was my fault because I had gained weight. He did not see the humor but the bike was not hurt too bad. A scuff on the saddlebag and my knee. Both were not too bad so I am not going to make a big deal out of it. Doo happens.

    I have only been in a couple of campers and know very little about them. You would not believe how nice they are. I was impressed. Ken's camper is a 5th wheel. These were the big ones you drive. Ken, not me. I am just looking at them for fun (I think). Although they are nice and I could live in one. I would love to travel and see things but that is only a dream. I don't expect it to happen but then again, I never thought I'd make 6 trips to TN.

    So glad you got to visit your dad and friends. Big hug to you. And Sara, I'm glad it is the weekend just for you.

    Sleep well and have a great Saturday. :wub:

    Good morning Dale :wub:

    Have fun with Bela this weekend.

    Ah shoot, Rat2. I am also glad there was no major damage to you or the bike. Definitely happens a time or two.

    I’m with you too on getting an rv and traveling the US. I think that would be neat. It will never happen but so fun to dream about. I check them out at the fair. Hoo boy, the prices. Same as a house and with the amenities too. :lol:

    We are headed to Aldi/Tops first thing this morning. Get in and get out. Hope everyone has a great day!

    That’s for sure, Dale.

    Quick trips this morning and minimal spent. Eating out of the freezer/cupboards has been successful in savings. Kiddo wasn’t too thrilled a couple times but he ate whatever was put in front of him. :lol:

    Working on laundry and cleaning out the laundry room. Time to get rid of some stuff.

    Hope everyone is having a great day!
