Good morning sunshines,

The weekend was way too short!

I finally got my harness back and was able to hitch Miss Pea to her Meadowbrook and go for a nice ride. It's been almost 2 months since we drove and she did beautifully. I had a fear that she would be hesitant and I was nervous at first but true to form she acted like nothing ever happened. She has a heart of pure gold. I am very happy about this!

DH and I had a nice anniversary. We spent alot of time reminicing of years past! We have come a long way together and it's nice.

Dee, what herbs have you planted in your strawberry pot? What is doing well, what isn't?

So, how was your weekend?

Good MONDAY morning!

Suzanne, I have lots of sweet basil, curly & flat parsley, sage, oregano, chives, and thyme. Last Friday I threw huge handfuls of sage and parsley on the grill and placed chicken over it. I saw someone do it on one of the food channels, and it worked really nicely.

The squirrels are fighting with me over the tomatoes. Yesterday, I added coffee grounds to the soil and sprayed lightly with dish detergent and water. Let's see if it keeps them away long enough for us to get a few more. The one we ate last night in our salads was delish!

What's up this week?

Later..........

Dee what was delish? The squirrel or the tomato?

Suzanne, I'm glad that you and Sweet Pea are back in the swing of things!

I just came back from the dentist for a crown prep. It took 2 novacaines to numb my jaw. Now I can say that I am really numb!!

WW is going great. I am down 14.8! It feels really good.

Not much else in new. Check in everyone.

Love, Besh

Where do I start? Yes I am very busy. The weekend was a HUGE success. We have to have one girls! I cannot wait to have one with all of us. I have just been friends with these ladies since Aug. & have met 4 of them. I have only met 2 of you IRL. Yes, I've talked to many more over the phone & seen many pics but then I've seen many pics of my other friends too. Especially since it is scrapbooking. LOL We did some shopping, went out to eat, let the kiddos swim at the waterpark, took lots of pics, did a little sleeping, and generally enjoyed each other's company. Dave came & spent a little time on Sunday too. He already knew 2 of the women so he met the 3rd one. This is a busy month of birthdays for us. So I've been busy doing birthday cards, pages about our adventures, sympathy cards, Mother's Day cards, and such. We've had trips to the commissary, VA, & tomorrow the Renaissance Fair on top of visiting the friend who had his cancer surgery & is in the hospital. We had the resident's association meeting, quilting show, shopping with the girls, & I'm organizing still. So that's been my week. Milkdud~[[[[Larry]]]] Hope you get good news. Glad you are staying so busy & that you are enjoying TOPS so much. My Mom's sis did that with great success for a while. NH Suzanne~Love hearing about the BB. We have had so many birds here this winter. I thought perhaps it was b/c we are so much colder than normal. Many, many more nests it has seemed to us. This would be the ______ in particular that I'm speaking of. If I don't think of it, I'll have to ask Dave what I'm trying to think of. He is off doing clothes right now. BJ~I hope you enjoy your time off the island & that you have better luck with the house this time. Can't wait to hear about Baby V. Little Sweetie Pie deserves to have a good home. Raeanne~The art show sounds divine. I can't wait to see the pics. I know Dave will be interested too especially since it is the Adironack chairs. Wodka~I'm thrilled you are going to Chicago. I've only been in the airport. It was cold. LOL I had to do a 4 hour layover from Orlando to Dallas. IDK, doesn't make sense to me? I know it is a little late but I always take out the honey, lemon, & tea when my throat is hurting. That seems to take care of it right away. Besh~Glad Zoe is doing well. Shopping, yes!! Fun, fun, fun. Well, I hope you have a great weekend. My friend is supposed to take pics of her friend having a baby & she is being checked by the dr so we may have to wait until Sunday to go to the Ren Fest but whenever we go, it will be a great time. Have a good one! Patti :-) Gretchen~I never did hear back from you so should I gather that you decided not to be part of the un-birthday group?

Happy Father's Day to all...if you still have your Dad enjoy, celebrate and cherish. Jan, I lost my Dad last May and miss him so very, very much. He gave so much great advice to me (and some not so great!) but I think answering the QOD, no matter what problem I went to him with, he would tell me "don't worry about it kid, we'll work it out" and that calmed me and we did always work out out one way or another. Today was a day of running errands. Yesterday was spent with a very dear old friend having lunch and wine at her beautiful home on the bay. We sat outside and enjoyed the weather and the boats going by. She told me not to buy golf clubs until she got her old ones down from the attic. She gave them to me yesterday and now I can finally get rolling on my lessons! Today another friend started putting the grill together...one part is too small believe it or not! Called Target where we bought it and off there tomorrow night to return small part and, hopefully, get the right one so we can finish up and start grilling!!! He brought is two 2 year old beagles (both boys) and my 14 year old Lacey was the perfect little hostess...I forgot how nosy and rambunctious young dogs are but they are sweethearts. Gotta run, fun stuff still awaits like getting the trash together and lunch for tomorrow. Will check in tomorrow..enjoy your evening. (((Hugs))) to all that need them - good thoughts and prayers are being sent your way. Donna

Good Morning All, BJ, WOW, what a post. I cannot believe your incredible energy. I have not read or seen the Ya Ya Sisterhood, I suppose I am going to have to now. Might be a nice rainy Saturday afternoon thing to do. But for now I am going to call you Sister of endless energy and enthusiasm! I read every word of your post. Talk about catching up TIMES 10! LOL I am thinking of you too Raeanne, out there in Chicago, Chicago. Hope you are having fun. Too bad you and Gretchen can't hook up. Tikanas, I must have missed some posting as I did not know you were recently widowed. I am not aware of the circumstances but I am sorry to hear that. Sounds like you are indeed being good to yourself. I admire your committment to yourself to get/stay in shape. I have not even had the chance to talk to DH about the retreat. The truth of the matter is that he has not been home but for one evening since this whole thing blew up! He has been away working and when not working taking care of his DS's needs, getting him to court, doctors and dentist. Nicely managing to avoid having to deal with his life here! He calls dutifully every night to make sure things are "alright". We haven't even spoken of therapy or retreats, etc. This is the way it will go too I suspect until he "blows up" again. I am determined to go to this retreat it sounds good. The people who recommended it are the brother and SIL of my good friend who I ride with. I have never met her brother but I know they have had some real issues. Someone suggested this retreat to them and they went. They said that when they got there the looked around and said to each other that there was no way this was going to work and wanted to leave. The impression was that it the husband and wife were real "granola" ,(no offense to anyone), and nuts and seeds 60's type people. BUT they stuck it out and got so much out of it that they are going back for a refresher! The only other complaint was that all the meals were vegetarian. DH is strickly meat and potatoes but I won't even talk to him about the food. So, I hope that DH can find the time to come home long enough to talk to him about this. I have to admit that I feel very lonely lately. I think a big part of it is that I can't ride Sweet Pea and I am sort of cut off from alot of activities.........like the campout this weekend. It will be okay and I will get some fun time in before summer is out. Today I am cleaning all my grooming brushes and cleaning harness and saddle really well so they will be ready for Sweet Pea's return to work! Dosen't that sound like fun! I was going to drive my trailer down into the pasture and set up camp with the horses but my sister told me that was really pathetic!! I am still thinking about it only it's rainy. Marci, I can't believe you have the energy to organize a yard sale! They are a lot of work but I guess there is lots of money to be made. I am doing HORSE LAUNDRY right now. Saddle pads, trail packs, etc. They have to be washed twice!! First load is spinning right now............I will check in later.

Hi all! Another MIA checking inÂand hoping that everyone is doing great! I havenÂt been here since my FIL died in late June, as I came down with a "C Diff" infection the night after his funeral. Rog found me unconscious on the bathroom floor and took me to the ER, and I really donÂt remember anything about that night or July 4th. I was in for 3 days, and was deathly sick for the next 2 weeks. (I did lose 23 pounds during this time, thoughÂnasty way to do it!) IÂm OK at this point, but everyoneÂseriouslyÂthe CDC in Atlanta has issued warnings that this could be an epidemic, and the mortality rate has doubled. Since I donÂt want to squick anyone out, please do a google on "C Diff", and remember to wash your hands, and this is very contagious. The next thing that has went on with me is that not only was I praying for Demerol or death while I was in the hospital, I have found that I am a diabetic. Great. Just screaming great. My sugar level was 453 when I went to the ER. (OKÂwellÂI was on prednisone during this time b/c I ended up in the ER the night FIL died with a horrible rash all over my behind and legs, and come to find out it was a reaction that I had to a spider bite a week prior. I was diagnosed with Henoch-Schonlein purpura (HSP) which normally occurs in young boys (yes, I laugh at f@rt jokes, maybe this is payback!) and steroids are the usual treatment for it. It can be serious, and lead to kidney problems, but the chances are small.) So, between the stress (GAD!), the steroids, the ridiculously bad eating habits IÂve developed, IÂm not surprised that my sugar was that high. I didnÂt have any of the usual signs, i.e. excessive thrist, excessive urination, etcÂ but here I am. I am following drÂs orders, but man! I want some sweet iced tea!! AndÂI had to drop out of school for the time being. Which just frustrates me to no end, but whaddya do? When it rains, it pours! So, that it why I havenÂt been here, or anywhere else for that matter. Things are slowly getting back to normal, and things will be good once again. RaeanneÂwhat auction? I wish I was there, IÂd love to call it for you! SuzanneÂI love that pic! WeÂre going to try to grow garlic this fall, so any advice is appreciated! BJÂhugs, my sister! Still busy as ever, I see! DeeÂnew car? What kind? Has anyone heard from Amy or John? Has Patti posted lately? Hope all is well with everyone! Love and hugs, Maddie

Suzanne - I am so happy to hear that Ms P and you did so well on your outing - the two of you are so connected. Happy Anniversary, sounds like it was perfect.

Dee - have you ever added a bunch of fresh basil to your salad. It is delicious and so refreshing to me. I have been basiling up everything. I put a layer of basil in my lasagna this weekend. I wonder how squirrel with basil is?

Besh - WTG on your loss. You are on a roll and it must feel so good.

I pulled off a surprise party for my DH this weekend. He turns 60 next month and I had his entire family come this weekend, including his sister from GA. We had a blast and he had absolutely no idea. I nearly had a break-down in the process - the keeping a surprise is way too much pressure for me LOL. They left this morning and I need a good nights sleep. Unfortunately my CA girl couldn't make it home. She already has a plane ticket to come home on his real birthday to surprise him - that is her gift to him.

WTG Raeanne on the surprise! That is so sweet of DD to surprise her Dad. I'll bet that will be one of his best presents ever!

I am working this morning and then DS is starting his Eagle project this afternoon. He is painting and repairing park benches and picnic tables in a large city owned park here in town. It is only supposed to be about 90 degrees today. Today we are just scraping paint!

Have a great day.

Good morning all,

What a wild, violent night we had here with thunderstorms and driving rain. Lots of damage yet again. We were given some amazing statistics on the lightning strikes here yesterday. Something like 1,800 per hour! It was wild and frightening.

Raeanne, good for you for pulling off that surprise party. Either you are good of DH is clueless LOL. Glad it went well.

I add herbs of all kinds to salads. I love basil but really fresh Italian parsely is great too. Last night I baked a piece of sole and I made a butter of parsley, shallot, capers, salt, pepper and lemon juice to go on after it was baked. It was divine. There is nothing like fresh things from the garden. I am getting hungry just thinking about it!

Dee,I am at war with Red Squirrels right now. I have two young ones who have taken to helping themselves to my chicken feed to the tune of about a pound a day!! They can get into the tiniest spaces and are so quick. I caught my first one yesterday in a Hav-a-Hart trap and we went for a long ride in the storm. He will be fine - now for the other one!! I love gray squirrels and chippys but those reds are really destructive and annoying.

BESH, I forgot to say CONGRATS on your weight loss. That is great and you must feel like a new woman! Keep up the good work......I am jealous! Scraping paint is so much fun!

Hi All!

Raeanne, I hope you have pictures of DH and his party. Would love to know how you can live and work with someone and pull off a surprise. You are amazing!

FYI, tonight I am off to an (expensive) steakhouse with my director who is visiting from the UK. But tomorow, I"m going to consider filet of squirrel with Suzanne's parsley butter! Everyone is invited, and I'll make a lovely TOMATO salad to go along with it. The size of the TOMATO salad is dependent upon how many squirrels are filet'd! LMAO!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I'm certain now that the PITA folks are out for me now.

Well, we have extreme heat here and are awaiting some showers, but not until perhaps tomorrow. Our central air was pumping all night. We have it set on 78, but at about 3am it was still 85 degrees out, according to the radio I left on. YIKES!!!!!

Today I had my interim review and I was a bit nervous because some of my larger projects have been delayed. Nothing I did, just contracts weren't signed because corporation is looking to spend in Qtr 3 instead of Qtr 2. Well, I was surprised because my Director told me that I was the rock of the worldwide department and that he would have "no clue what to do" without me! I asked him to write that down in his comments and remember it when bonus time comes around! lol!!

Gotta run and live up to my reputation! haha
Take care, eat healthfully, and NEVER NEVER GIVE UP!

DeeMarie - I'll bring the squirrel condiments! And by the way, you will never be able to say the word "squirrel" without laughing after you read Lean Mean Thirteen! That's all I'll say for now. If you want me to mail you my copy, let me know.
And your bosses' comment doesn't surprise me. You have always seemed rock solid to me! Congrats on the great review.

Raeanne - How clever to hold the party before his birthday. I know I could plan a party and hide it from my DH, as he doesn't even pay attention when I AM talking to him! LOL And how nice that your other DD is going to come home for the actual birthday. I remember one Easter that my DS walked in unannounced and I was so surprised and happy. Nothing like an unexpected, but welcome, visit from a loved one!

NHSuzanne - We are getting the storms tomorrow, so hoping it will cool down after that. We had a cell stopped right over us last week and the thunder and lightening were awful. I can't remember another storm like it. I actually put in earplugs!

Besh - Hope you survive working outside in this heat! I weeded my perennial garden the other day and thought I would faint. (Imagine me doing a Scarlett impression here). I am putting together some quilt tops for the church ladies to finish and enjoying the AC very much, thank you! LOL

I just finished A Thousand Splendid Suns and it was excellent! I highly recommend it. Now I am listening to The Murder Room by P.D. James while I am sewing and loving the British accent of the reader as well as the story. I told DH that I want an MP3 player for Christmas so I can download audio books from the library. Modern technology is great!

Stay cool everyone and dont' forget to drink extra water on these hot days.

Later,

Hi goils!

Besh--WTG! 14 pounds is awesome!

Raeanne--what fun! I pulled something like that on Rog on his 30th, 600 miles away, and with people I'd never met. I also got him at Turner Field (Atlanta Braves)--I talked (begged and whined actually)the administration office into putting "Happy 30th Birthday Roger ******" on the scoreboard during the 7th inning stretch. We had a blast on that trip!

It's nice here--we have had some rain today, and it's cooled things down considerably. I think Thursday's high is 81.

I'm reading Marly & Me. Has anyone read it?

Hugs,

Hot and humid - yuck with humid (I don't mind hot). AC won't stop running. I thought we were ready for storms but it cleared then got foggy at dusk.

Raeanne - WTG on that surprise! It's not easy pulling one of those off. What a great gift your DH will get when your DD arrives for his actual birthday.

Suzanne - Glad you and SP are back on track. I like chippies too but gray squirrels drive me nuts with my bird feeder. They destroyed the last one - pulled it apart and threw pieces into the woods - never did find them.

Dee - Call me and I will gladly drive up north for some fillet of squirrel. Congrats on that review - we knew you were great, glad your boss does!

Marci - I just recently read a Hot Flash Club book, first one for me and really enjoyed it - very light reading. The author is Nancy Thayer. I just got a Jodi Picoult book out yesterday called Vanishing Acts. Not a new one but one I haven't read, I really like her books.

Maddie - I haven't read that one...who is the author? That was pretty cool what you pulled on your DH - who would expect something out of town where you know no one???

Besh - WTG on the weight loss!!! Congrats!! My first WW weigh in is Thursday after work - keep your fingers crossed.

Did anyone watch H3ll's Kitchen last night? I was glad to see Melissa finally go!! Her superior attitude really irritated me. My Waffle House girl Julia is still hanging in. Jen bugged me for a while but I think I am warming up to her. The guys are all a bunch of losers.

Enjoy your evening....Donna

Happy WEDNESDAY!

Donna, I watched H3ll's Kitchen and was more than happy to see that little snob go. What an attitude! Jen looks like she could make it all the way, but I'm still pulling for Julia. She has to be the fan favorite, I would think. Would love to see her hit the big time!

Got through a worldwide staff meeting early this morning, even though I had less than 5 hours' sleep. DH and I chatted for a bit when I got home from dinner with my director. We watched BB8 and Pirate Master (yeah, you read that right...we are insane about reality TV!). Anywho, I had HGTV on later and was about to put my head down onto the pillow at 11:30 when I heard the announcer say "Hidden Potential" was on....in our town! Well, of course I woke up DH because we had to see where these people were moving. We knew where 2 of the 3 homes were, and they picked the home which is in our neighborhood on the lake. We are going to have to look for it!!

DH knew that his mother and 2 brothers were coming to visit her. So that is how I got around any near slips and with extra cleaning and cooking. He really doesn't have a clue either. I guess I can be a pretty good actress when I need to be LOL.

I don't watch H_lls Kit but I caught an episode lat week and couldn't believe Melissa - I am glad that she is gone too.

Maddie - I read Marley & Me and I loved it, just have some tissues handy.

Marci - I am half way through with A Thousand Splendid Suns and have a hard time putting it down.

Dee - of course you are the rock. You certainly rock around here.

Donna - it has been hot and humid around here since Sunday - I feel your pain.

Suzanne - I am not crazy about oregano normally, but give it to me fresh and I love it. I had oregano infused dipping oil the other night - it was great.

Besh - How did your DS do with the park benches - what a big job, especially in this heat.

We were without power from 7 last night till 11:45 this morning. Combine that with my MIL visiting and my day was near perfect - not. Aside from that life is good.

Good Morning Ladies,
Nice and cool here today and I am loving it. No humidity!

Well, every park bench and picnic table at Forest River Park is scraped! What a crew DS had, these kids were great. All I had to do was provide drinks and snacks! The painting won't begin until the beginning of August.

Donna I will keep my fingers crossed for you for your weigh in tonight. I weigh on Friday mornings during the summer, so I will keep my fingers crossed for me as well. Keep us posted!

I am so happy that everyone is reading!

Have a great day everyone. I'll check back later.

Raeanne, that's a long time without power, I can now feel your pain. Glad every thing is up and running again. Now I love oregano, one of my favorite herbs.

Dee, I really enjoy H3ll's Kitchen. I'm still pulling for Julia too and agree with you, I'd bet she is a fan favorite.

It turned out to be a gorgeous day but I was stuck inside :(
The good news is I am off next week, hope for good weather. I am not going away this time, have lots to get done around the house but don't want to be all work and no play!!

DeeMarie - Look for a surprise in your mailbox, hopefully eary next week.

I have my annual GYN visit today. Yea! NOT! But I always feel better after I get it out of the way. One of the evil but necessary chores.

I am going to head out early and run some errands and then head to the docs.

Have a great Friday!

Marci, enjoy your day, especially after your doctor appointment. I sometimes wonder what it's like to work in an office where most of the patients are not happy campers. Dentist also comes to mind! Thanks for the heads-up on my surprise! YIPPEEEE

Suzanne, I have a large amount oregano growing and may do the infusion thing too. Last evening, I made a big green bean salad with thinly slice onions and lots of fresh herbs...basil, oregano, parsley, and chives. It was wonderful!

QOD: What's on the agenda for this weekend?

Tonight we are meeting some friends for dinner to say goodbye (they are moving the South Carolina). We need to pick a nice place to take them. We've already decided that we will meet halfway for dinner at least once or twice a year. Should be an interesting 4-hour (one way) drive when that happens! lol!!!

Did not make any other plans, but I want to go to the semi-pro baseball game tomorrow night because there are fireworks again. DH and I make it into a date. They have the very best buffalo chicken fingers there (surprising not greasy). They also serve low-fat salads, so I share the chicken with DH (who can eat twice his weight in food at one sitting with no additional poundage on his bod!)

Please check in all you MIAs!

QOD: DH is on his way to Wisconsin so I am having a friend over for dinner on Saturday night. We serve together on the Board of my driving club - she is my VP. We see each other at meetings and see each other at our drives but we never seem to get time without others around so this will be nice. She is coming early and she may bring her own horse and we will both go out for a drive or she may come without horse, go for a drive with me and Pea which will probably be nicer and more relaxing. Or maybe we put the horses in the pasture, sit on the porch drinking wine and watching them!!! LOL

Sunday I am going riding with my friend Linda who just lost her father to lung cancer. It will be good for her to get a horse fix.

Dee, I am making a corn salad for this dinner and I will use lots of fresh basil, chives and parsley. I don't have any oregano to try but I will get some. Another favorite of mine is Tarragon. Yum.

We have fresh corn from Massachusetts now. It takes forever where we live to get fresh corn and tomatoes. Our growing season is so short. You can never appreciate them until you have to wait until August to start eating them!!

Good Afternoon ladies,
Well the weigh in was not great, as I went up .8 pounds! I was hoping to at least lose .2 so it would be an even 15# lost, so now it is an even 14#. I really knew I didn't lose because I could feel it.

Donna, congrats. You are off to a great start! Vanishing Acts is a good book!

Suzanne, I got some fresh corn the other day at the farm. It is so delicious (maybe that is where the .8 # came from, LOL). Enjoy your girly weekend!

QOD: DH starts his vacation today. We are going to VA next week and the second week will be day stuff. This weekend we have to go to a wake. DH best friend's Mom died, a little unexpectedly, so it will be a tough one. Sunday we are going sailing with some friends. That is it for now.

The weather is gorgeous here. I am heading out to take advantage of it.

Enjoy!

Donna - I have a lot of confidence that you will find some time to "play" next week, enjoy the time off!

Besh - I agree, don't get frustrated, we have all been there and if you keep behaving it will only be a temporary gain.

Suzanne - I love tarragon too, also rosemary.

Dee - one of our closest friends is a dentist. I always ask him how it feels to have so many people afraid of you. He is one of the nicest men I know and I can only imagine that he is very gentle and compassionate as a dentist. He lives over an hour away or I would go to him.

Marci - I have my gyn appointment in a couple of weeks - I dread it too, but necessary. How is DD doing (and you)? I can't wait to see DD#1 in a few weeks!

Patti - if you are reading, we miss you, hope you are having fun being a grandma LOL.

My MIL had been visiting since Sunday, she was suppose to leave on Sunday but became very bored and left today. I guess my BIL's house is more exciting (thank goodness). You can't even believe all the things we did with her and she is still bored. She had her hair done, we took her shopping, out on the boat, out to breakfast twice, out to lunch another day and out to dinner one night. DH went into work late so they could spend time together and 20 family members were with us Sunday and Monday. I wish I had time to get bored.

QOD - No agenda and I hope it stays that way. I haven't had my house to myself since last Friday and it feels good to just be home. As much as I go out I am really a homebody at heart. Friends are coming up from FL tomorrow evening, so we will probably go boating if the weather permits.

Enjoy your weekend.

Happy Saturday - a beautiful day!! AC is off, windows are open.

Besh - don't be discouraged - you are doing great. Just wait until your next weigh in when you pass that 15# mark. Enjoy VA.

Raeanne - glad your MIL is gone but don't know either how she could be bored? If I was visiting you I would have loved everything you did with and for her.

Suzanne - you are a good friend. ((Hugs)) to your friend Linda, I know exactly how she feels. A great weekend for you to get her out riding.

Marci - glad you got all the docs out of the way. I have to schedule my GYN for August.

Dee - great idea meeting your friends half way between NJ and SC. A very good friend of mine moved to GA 2 years ago and we talk but it's not the same as seeing, I miss her. One of these days I will get there or she will come here.

QOD: No agenda either and I like that. Probably will get some cleaning done tomorrow morning and then, if weather cooperates, to the pool. Today is errand day as usual. Beyond that no idea!!

Enjoy your day - Donna
