Karen: You are really making a difference in your home! I always feel good after going through purges in the house. I overheard a woman talking today about when she and her dh downsized their home. She couldn't believe all the stuff she had to go through in her attic.
Ruth: You're the envious of your neighborhood! Everything looks beautiful and colorful. Great job on getting it all in place. Bruno misses Ivy!
Walked with a friend this morning. Then we talked for 2 hours. Lots to catch up on.

I did 30 minutes of dancing & 20 of toning from utube yesterday. I went to a combination Pound/PiYo class this morning, did some yard work & swept out the garage. Tomorrow we go to South Dakota for DH's Family Reunion, the first one they've had in three years, so that should be fun. I've been instructed to bring games and a dessert!

Ruth your flowers and backyard look so beautiful. Such pretty colors.

We have such long, hard winters that we need all the colorful flowers and outdoor time in the summer that we can get!

Ruth - love the pic of Bruno. He is so regal. You flowers are lovely.
Got my Vit D levels back and they are great - big improvement from 2 years ago. Went from borderline normal limits to well within the average range. I take 2,000iu/day. Finally a lab that is great!!! Still waiting to hear from endocrinologist
Cloudy outside with only 70 for a high and maybe rain this afternoon. Not going to complain as the 90s again by Tuesday.
Need to get into the crawl space and get out old chairs (go with the table my son took but he didn't want the chairs) and any other large items and Tuesday is "large" item and extra trash day - which is the 4 Tuesday of every month.
Have a great Sunday.
Evening update 12 hours after my morning post
DH and I went into the crawl space to get the chairs out that went with the table my son took - the chairs are not in good shape at all, so will go out with large trash pick up. We also took out the frame for a fold away bed we had when I was a kid. Mattress is long gone so not sure why we kept the fold up frame. I then spent a few hours in the basement throwing away old work stuff. Found a few more boxes that I need to go through - I think it is work and/or kids school work. Either way its getting shredded or thrown away.
Watching game 6 - Colorado Avs against TB Lightening. Hoping the Avs can pull off a win.
Sweet dreams

I spent yesterday eating, visiting, playing board games, and eating some more at DH's family reunion. This morning I went to Dance2fit & Pound tonight. In between I made lists & went shopping. We always have friends over for a picnic on the 4th of July, plus my brother & SIL will be here for a couple days, so I have to start getting organized......and getting the house cleaned too.
Karen, congratulations on the big win yesterday!

Ruth - the reunion pictures look like everyone had a nice time. I don't normally watch sports, but we've been watching these games. Last night was a great game and of course the best outcome for the Avalanche.
Found 3 boxes (paper ream size box) in the crawl. space with test protocols from 2000 to 2004. I started to rip them up and then decided I've had enough and put them on a coffee table that is in the crawl space till I can get to a shredded event. A local realtor does one around tax time, so it's fine with me if they sit there till April. At least I know that they are there so I won't forget. These boxes were behind other boxes so out of sight out of mind!!! I'm done for now.
Nice weather today - not too hot, sunny and blue sky.

Nice weather here too. Some friends of ours are camping at a little park about 45 minutes away. They invited us down for lunch & to hang out for the afternoon. As they have a dog, Bruno was invited too. We did a little hiking, but there are SO many wood-ticks this year that it is not as much fun because you have to pick creepy insects off when you return!! I got home in time for Zumba.

The Wednesday Walking Women on a thundery morning. Some chickened out from walking, the rest of us walked around & around close to where we wanted to end up in case we had to make a mad dash.

Karen: Love reading about your deep cleaning. Very motivating. I need to get back in the mood.
Ruth: I would have creeped out with all those ticks! Great picture of WWW.
On Sunday we went to visit my ds for his birthday. Saw the movie Everything Everywhere All at Once. It's a crazy movie! Plus, I haven't been in a movie theater since 2019 and maybe 2018. Today I met a friend to walk and talk.

Nice long walk with gf yesterday morning - about 10K steps - 2 laps around Wash Park takes at least 1.5 hours. It was hot, but not baking as the sun was not out. Hot enough that my hands swelled up. She is a former work friends from my old district and she retired as a health para after 25 years. We've stayed friends in the 13 years since I left.
Thought I had started a report - at least the graph part - spent an hour looking for it and couldn't find it - so started over. Doing a lot of copy/paste for the write up and still need to do the graph. We have an internal team meeting this afternoon and then figure out when the IEP meeting will be. With my travel only a couple available dates before hopefully we leave. It might have to be right before school starts.
We are flying AC and a little worried as we got a generic email from AC stating all their woes as with all airlines and ultimately they are going to be cutting flights. They said they wanted to do it sooner than later so people had time to prepare instead of last minute cancellations. Tme will tell. Its 12 days away.
Today is DH's last day and then he is retired. They had a 'happy hour' last night with his co-workers and he heard lots of positives and then a few personal phone calls. If I don't mind saying so myself, DH was in a league of his own - one of the best in. his field!! They will be hard shoes to fill. I got DH a great retirement card and a gift that he will enjoy.
Have a great Thursday.

Congratulations to DH, Karen! Retirement after a rewarding career is something to celebrate! I hope your travel plans come off okay. A good friend of mine & her two daughters are on a three -years- delayed trip to Germany. She has been posting pictures on Facebook so I know she has made it there in one piece! Pound, Dance2fit, dusting and vacuuming are on my schedule for today.

Karen: Congratulations to your dh! How exciting for him and you! He sounds like an amazing man with a brilliant career.
Ruth: Please come clean my house.
Walked early this morning. We go to the beach Saturday so I have been busy getting ready, packing, etc. This will be the 34th year we have been vacationing at the beach with my side of the family. Didn't go in 2020 but we did last year. Because we didn't get together for Christmas in 2020, we played Dirty Santa (it's like White Elepant, or Yankee Swap) while at the beach. Instead of calling it Dirty Santa since it was July, we called it Dirty Sandy Claws. Didn't get together for Christmas last year so playing DSC again this year. Looking forward to next week!

Have a wonderful week, wonderland! I really hate cleaning so will NOT be coming over and doing your house (plus, it wouldn't be that clean because I cut corners!). We always have a big backyard picnic on the 4th of July so I am getting ready for that, plus my brother & SIL will be here for a couple days, so I have to do bedding etc. as well. Today I want to get the rest of the food, wash windows, clean the kitchen & bathrooms. It is a lovely day, so I will go for a dog walk as well.

Wonder - have fun at the beach. Ruth have a fun party on the 4th.
Our July 4 plans are grilling chicken wings - no plans. We hope to go to the mountains for a couple days on the 5th to do some hiking, then it will be time to start getting ready for our trip. Getting a little nervous as I hear the national news about all the airline problems - that things won't get better till after Labor Day then come Thanksgiving things will get bad. Just heard that airlines are cancelling flights and their schedules today
Slow start this morning. Woke up at 4:30 and should have gotten up then. Went back to sleep and didn't get up till after 6. It's now after 8 and time to get busy!!
Have a great Friday and long week-end.

I have been off on an adventure, not exercising, but doing a flying trip to Seattle staying with one friend and catching up with others. The great news is that the city appears to be recovering from its low point though still has a way to go. Since I still have a transit pass, I bussed it in. I can say that the ridership of the #21 bus is "colorful." I picked up my wine club shipment. Exercise was walking around the city and lugging stuff.
Got home Thursday afternoon and yesterday was getting my bicycle flat fixed and finally a new type of rim tape to prevent this. I am a bit annoyed that they didn't do this in the first place to my front tire. Will be off in a bit to get in 20 miles before it heats up outside. Then farmers market and I think I will launch my kayak in the river where the current has now calmed down. Or I may go for a swim. My water shoes come tomorrow which will make the whole kayaking thing easier.
Bruno is quite the handsome young man. I got in quite a bit of doggy loving this past week as well including the doggy who normally doesn't like people. I feel so honored.
This fourth, I am doing something that I never done before, an evening out with friends which includes a buffet dinner and front row seating for fireworks over Lake Coeur d'Alene. It should be fun.
I am with you Ruth on taking cleaning shortcuts where possible. I have to say that I am enjoying having mop-able floors in the living room and trafficked areas. No more off-white carpet, a losing battle. Having an electric broom to pick up crumbs, etc. is a life saver as well. So easy to keep it all under control. Though with stairs up to my car, I do take more trips to unload everything.
Think of you with the files. I need to refile everything from the move into my new cabinet and toss about 70% of everything. I now have a deadline before company comes at the end of the month. But I shall pay Staples to get rid of everything even though I do now have a shredder. My goal is to keep current going forward. Speaking of cleaning, I think a trip through the fridge might not be the worst of ideas.
I don't think I posted this.... Pictures from last week's kayak adventure. Happy adventures! - Claire

I love your charts, notascalm! Much more colorful and fun than my little notebook!
Fun pictures, Claire! Love the sparkling water!
Wonderland, I hope the bad weather on the East Coast won't mess up your vacation!
I went to Yoga this morning and have done more cleaning (just the upstairs bathroom left). DH & I went to the movie Elvis last night (very interesting, and sad), and are invited to a picnic tonight so I am working around fun stuff. Fireworks are legal in my town from yesterday until July 5th, so I do NOT have a happy dog. He's not scared of them but they make him mad. He runs around the backyard barking like crazy. Not a fun time for pets.

Heidihill, it is awesome to hear from you!!! Glad that you are still in the saddle!! 😀
I have exciting news. DS proposed to his very nice girlfriend last night, and she said YES! So we have wedding bells in the future!

It's nice to see familiar names. It's so wonderful reading about your activities but I have to be honest. I'm exhausted after reading Ruth's activities. Thanks for the inspirationAnd of course you all are still super active. I love looking at pictures of Ruth's walking group. It has been so miserably hot and humid in Miami I haven't been running regularly. I still try to get in a few miles of power walking late in the evening but the running is kicking my butt. I've come to this site to get motivated.

Good to see you jo! It is hard to exercise when it is hot & humid.....it is especially hard to run in those conditions.
No formal exercise for me today, but I got 12.500 steps running up & down the deck stairs getting ready for our annual backyard picnic. It was a very fun day for everyone except the dog who worked himself into a frenzy with all the extra activity and people shooting off fireworks....which are legal in my town & which I used to like before I had a dog......Bruno is looking out the window and barking his head off as I type this. My brother & SIL are here for a few days. They are not 'dog people' so I am sure that he's driving them crazy!

Ruth, congrats on DS getting married soon! ❤️

Ruth, congrats on DS getting married...ever since you took on Bruno I've been waiting for this next step...so even if you can't say this to them...ahhh, finally!

TT, I was really hoping for this outcome but didn't say much for fear of jinxing things!
I walked 4 miles with my brother this morning, and we are off to show them a nearby tourist site as soon as we get organized.

Congrats on a new chapter in your DS life. Even with sedatives my dogs barked until 1:30 a.m. . The fireworks were non-stop. I too used to enjoy fireworks before dogs.
