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.

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! ❤️

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.

DH and I went to the mountains for a couple days.Left Tuesday and arrived to rain, lucky to get a walk in after dinner. Two gorgeous days yesterday and today. Yesterday hike a trail that is about 1 1/2 hours straight up. Lots of stopping and huffing and puffing. We do that trail once/year. Today hiked our favorite trail. It will only let me post 1 photo at a time. Came home this afternoon.

Beautiful picture, Karen! No formal exercise for me today unless I can motivate myself to do something yet tonight.

I tried something new this morning; Poolside Yoga. Good teacher, good class, but it was in a very hot, humid room around a therapy pool. I do NOT like being that hot so it won't be one I'll go to very often. I had my carpets cleaned yesterday, so went I go home from class, I started putting things in place, cleaning as I went along, so that is done for awhile. This afternoon, DS & fiance have invited us, her folks & two friends of theirs (also engaged) to go to an Open House for a new wedding venue that is opening in town. A perk of getting along really well with your future DIL is that you get invited to do some of the fun wedding 'stuff'!

Ruth - do they have a wedding date yet?
Broke record yesterday 100F and 100F forecast for today. Way too HOT for me.
Have a great Sunday.

Heidi: Congratulations!!!!!!!! So good to hear from you!
jo: Hot and humid are a terrible combination for exercise. I do what I can in the summer during the cooler part of the day.
Karen: Pretty picture! Looks like a great place to hike.
Ruth: Did your ds and future dil like the venue?
Hi All! Back from our beach trip. Had a fabulous time. It only rained on the 4th but stopped in the afternoon so we were able to enjoy the fireworks the town put on. Went swimming and walking every day. Ate and drank very well - probably a little too well. I'm staying away from the scales for awhile.
Edited to add: It's been raining on and off today. So needed! We haven't mowed in over 3 weeks. May do it this week depending if this rain makes it grow. It's 66 degrees and cloudy now and I'm loving it.

We had a crazy storm early this morning. Along with branches all over the yard, and a couple of my flower pots being tipped over and thrown to the ground (smashing the flowers within), it split the big tree by our deck almost in half and the whole top of the tree in splayed across the roof. Not good, we will have to get a hold of the insurance & tree removal people tomorrow.
Glad you had fun at the beach, Alice! The wedding venue was awesome. On the edge of our town was an old abandoned church camp right by the river in a beautiful setting. Some young entrepreneurs bought it. Razed some of the old buildings, restored several others, landscaped, build a brand new events building, and will be renting the place out for weddings, reunions etc. etc. They do all the set up, take-down, catering etc. etc. etc. all for an reasonable rate. The kids (and we all) loved it, and they booked a date: September 30, 2023!

The building in the foreground is one of the old buildings being restored as a chapel. In the back is the event center.

Here's the events center where the reception/dinner/dance will be.

This is the old building they are restoring to be the chapel. They are putting in a new stage in the next couple weeks, will get rid of the old lighting and put up twinkling lights around the ceiling. The awesome part is that all the walls, except where the stage is, open to the outdoors, as does the ceiling, and can close up if the weather is bad. White chairs for the guests are part of the deal. I put in a picture of the river just for fun.

Ruth - how exciting!!! the venue sounds lovely! The wedding date seems so far off, but the time will go so fast. Look forward to hearing details of the wedding.
101F today! Yesterday, 100F broke a record. Thankfully tomorrow will only be in the 80s.
Walked early this morning and around 8 tonight - spent the rest of the day in the house - packing. Tonight spent just shy of 2 hours on hold with AC to be sure we can leave the airport between flights with a 17 hour overnight layover. Thankfully we go a YES! The reason we were worried is that the letter we got and the AC reservations both said can't leave!!! At our age, sure didn't want to sleep in the airport. Tomorrow my plan is to get a mani/pedi - my finger nails are awful. Will putter in the house before then. We leave Tuesday afternoon. My checked bag is just below the 50# limit - but the bottom half (duffle bag has 2 parts) is filled with stuff for DD#2. Have some things in carry-on for DD#1. Because so many stories of lost luggage, DH and I each put some stuff in each other's bag and have a few days change of clothes in carry-on.
Have a great Monday!
Sweet dreams.

Oh Karen, how exciting that the trip is nearly at hand! Fingers crossed for uneventful travels. Once you get there, I know you will have a wonderful time.
I am going to Dance2fit this morning & Pound later today. My body & scale both tell me that I need to get back into a normal schedule. We are getting a break from the heat, but it looks like it will be back by the weekend.

Going to be getting lots of exercise in the next month with packing. We have a pending sale of our house here in Connecticut and we aare putting an offer on a house in Wisconsin about a half hour from my home town

Karen: Have a FABULOUS trip! Happy that you received the Okay to leave the airport. Wouldn't want to stay in an airport for 17 hours!
Ruth: Did the tree damage your roof? Love the wedding venue! The open or closed walls are amazing. And you have a date! YES!
M0mmy: Congratulation on selling your house and getting to move back to your home state!
Walked/ran this morning. This afternoon I made 3 loaves of zucchini blueberry bread plus zucchini soup. Our blueberry bushes were loaded when we came home from the beach. Froze plenty of them. Probably have 2 to 3 more weeks for picking berries. Lots of giant zucchini were in the garden thus the bread and soup lol.

Tried to check in online and realized my first name was spelled wrong - Kaaren instead of Karen - first flight is on United and they made a note in their system. Air Canada are the rest of the flights and they said they couldn't do it on the phone unless I cancelled the ticket and bought a new one at today's price - thanks but no thanks. Sure hope I don't have problems. The gal at AC seemed to say that United would print my boarding passes with the correct name. I guess I'll find out tomorrow!!
Much more pleasant weather today - in the 80s but 90s again tomorrow.
Will walk early in the morning, then walk in the airport before our flight.
Sweet dreams
