Good afternoon, almost evening! It was a little cool and windy here today, with rain early this morning. Everything is glistening and green. So pretty. I had my first official workout today. I managed to do all the machines twice and lightly jogged in place after every 2 machines. I have to admit that I had to pop some tylenol and take a nap late this afternoon because I did feel the burn and was achy and tired. But, it was fun, and I'll definitely return tomorrow for a light workout. Hubby has a sleep study tonight way over in Houston, so I'll be on my own here tonight. I haven't spent many nights here alone, and it's been since Thanksgiving so I'm a little nervous. These lovely woods start feeling very dark and lonely when it's just Lucky pup and me. QOD: I think I'd like to return as Sweetpea because that little one leads a beautiful life on Suzanne's farm! Jen, so glad to see you posting and that y'all were safe even though you were frightened. BJ, reading about your windows getting washed made me look hard at mine, and I know that I'll be getting around to them sometime very soon. I hadn't realized how rain-spotted they'd gotten until I really looked. McPeg, that washstand has such good bare bones. Can't wait to see the finished product! I'm happy for you to be getting new furniture! This weekend, we're getting a new propane tank for our grill, and I'm thawing out chicken and steaks to rub down and grill for next week's meals. There's just nothing better than grilled meat - and I love the smell of it cooking on the grill. Hope everyone has a restful weekend!

Oh Glenda I love California Kitchen pizza!I have not been to one since we moved here though I need to find one. Patti they only sell the Johnsoville brat patties at walmart for now according to their website, I have no idea why. The beef ribs last night, they ended up being much fattier than I thought so that was not good, the flavor was great and my husband ate a plate full but I do not like that fatty taste and I could taste that. Had it not been for that it would have been great. The bbq sauce I used was Sweet Baby Ray's which is my fave and I just added some Frenches mustard to it for the twang and put a chopped up purple onion in there with it. I started it on high for about an hour and a half then turned to low for about 4 hrs. I would do it again.

RECIPE: Progressive Dinner for June 14

So, a fancier version of a "Fish and Chips" dinner, eh? We used to have fish for dinner every friday. We didn't often eat dessert (mostly just special occasions) but if my grandparents came to dinner, there was usually an apple crisp. My recipe is more like a method LOL. Peel, core, and slice enough apples to fill a pyrex pie plate. Toss them with some sugar and cinnamon to taste. I like to use brown sugar because I think it has a better flavour. Some people prefer to keep the colours lighter and use white sugar. Mix 1 cup flour and 1/4 cup sugar, and a pinch of salt. Add some more cinnamon if you like. Cut in 1/2 cup butter until the mixture has lumps the size of peas. Stir in 1/2 cup oats. Sprinkle this mixture over the apples, and pat it down a bit. Bake in a 350-375 oven until the filling is bubbly, the apples are soft, and the top has browned a bit. When I made it with granny smith apples it took almost an hour, with macintosh it was closer to 30 minutes so check often. Allow to cool for a bit. Serve warm with a scoop of vanilla ice cream.

Georgysmom, you crack me up. You sure have some fun friends--any old excuse for a get together! Here's one to remember that I think you really should celebrate: June 2 - National "Bubba" day honoring anyone with the name or nickname Bubba. Sounds like party time to me. Have fun at your mystery meal--I'm sure it'll be great. Glenda, it may not of been a quesadilla, but it still sounds good. Isn't it fun to plan a holiday meal (Sunday being Father's Day)? Much more fun than the actual shopping/cooking/cleaning. But I always get excited when we have company. Satine, I'm sure sorry to hear you still have that stuff. Do you have any Immodium AD? Be sure to drink a lot of water. Hope the rice stays down, my dear. Mary, we only have 2 bedrooms but we have had Harry's daughter and the three grandkids. It all depends on how long they plan to stay. Ours usually spend a week. Luckily we have two baths. It takes a lot of planning and I'll give you a hint. I make sure the house is presentable but not spotlessly clean, because that will have to be done when they leave. I'll have a bowl of chili, please :-)

I've been growing my hair out for the past year trying to see if I would like long hair. It's shoulder length, but the sides and bangs are always in my face.

Anyway I finally got sick of it enough to call my stylist yesterday and today I got it all cut off. I've had short hair all my life, and now I have short hair again. The top isn't the 2" length that it usually is, it's a little longer on the top.

Did some other errands and my mind was a complete blank. I had some asparagus that needed to be used up so I cooked asparagus and orzo pasta and mixed in parmesan and some cream. A hotdog as well.

Last night I made tortellini, and then made a garlic cream sauce and used two yellow squash, several sugar snap peas, and the last three asparagus all from our garden.

A big mac from McDonald's as it is high in calories and I have to gain weight. I'm to consume 1800 calories a day. You don't know how hard this is for me. I'm not used to eating this much and never had to count calories, but I am down to 87 pounds and the doctor insists I eat this much.

I had other choices on hand but decided to have breakfast foods instead.........sausage, eggs and toast. It just seemed right for me tonight.

PIZZA! (also a breakfast food). One of the less than tasty store brands I probably won't buy again. Smother it with hot sauce.

Linda, I am so sorry that you're having to go through this. I hope that your doctor has given you some good ideas for calorie loaded foods and meal plans.

Do you keep frozen yogurt or ice cream around the house? Gosh, I hope that there are some high calorie foods that you love. I could eat cheesy, saucy pasta dishes twice a day, lol. All my best to you.

Speaking of fattening,....we're going out to our nearby Mexican restaurant shortly. Gotta watch Jeopardy, first, lol.

Thanks Rhizo. I've never been a big eater and have maintained a weight of between 95-100 pounds all my life until recently when I dropped from 97 to 87. I'm only 4 ft. 9 inches tall. Doctor put me through every test he and I could possibly think of: thyroid, colonoscopy, endoscopy, cystoscopy, CAT scan, bloodwork, urinalysis and everything came back normal. He of course was wanting to rule out cancer, but I knew I didn't have any cancer. He put me on an appetite stimulus pill. Not sure it did anything but I started eating everything I could think of that that might be high calorie, high fat and I did gain back the 10 pounds. However I didn't keep it up and lost the weight again. He just did a Metabolism rate test on me and it determined that I needed 1300 calories a day, but in order to gain any weight, I need 1800 calories a day according to the dietician he had me go see. I'm not really an icecream eater or yogurt. I love cheese and pasta and chocolates. I'm drinking Ensure, eating a lot of nuts, raw veggies dipped in Ranch which is the highest dressing in calories. I google everything to find the number of calories in each item and am keeping a daily log. I'm just not used to doing this and am to the point of beginning to hate eating. Dietician said to eat every 2-3 hours. I feel like I can't leave the house....have to eat. Can't get anything done...have to stop to eat. Very frustrating.

Lindaohnowga, good luck with your eating program. I am 4'9" tall also, but I can't seem to lose the weight. I know how important it is to maintain or lose weight at our height because every pound makes a difference, or so it seems.

Rose, wouldn't it be nice if you could give me a few of the pounds you need to lose and I need to gain? Too bad that can't be done.

I used to be 4 ft. 11 inches but with age I have shrunk. If I shrink much more I may just disappear. LOL
