It's a beautiful day here. I spent a lot of time on yard work & made multiple trips downtown getting organized for our 4th of July picnic. I still have to clean the house. Yuck! I'm feeling about 90% so am getting back to normal!

I spent today cleaning the house. Not my favorite activity

I took a dog walk this afternoon & went to Yoga in the Park this evening. 96 degrees today. Whew!

We're in the 90s also, Ruth. I'm trying to get acclimated. Didn't walk Friday or Saturday. This evening I convinced myself to Just Do It. So, I went on my walk/ran. It was hot for sure but also felt good.
I have decided to have dh's side of the family over for the 4th. Like Ruth, I need to get organized and clean the house. For the last several years with the exception of 2020, we have been at the beach with my side of the family for the week of the 4th. We decided to change to another week for this year and I'm glad we did. Too many people and lots of traffic!

I went to Dance2fit this morning, took a dog walk this afternoon & set up tables & chairs in the backyard. There is a 70% chance of rain tonight, which better be done by late morning or I will not be amused!

Hope it didn't rain on your party, Ruth. I had 16 people and a 1 year old over for our lunch cookout. It was in the 90s and hot so we ate inside. The last people left at 5:30. I put the house back in order and have decided to take it easy the rest of the night. That is, until the fireworks start up! Just got our 2 cats in the house so they don't run off bc of the noise.
Happy 4th of July, Everyone!

You beat me by 2, Wonderland. We had 15 adults & no kiddos. We actually had about the nicest weather I can ever remember. It rained overnight, which cleared out the air. A cold front came in behind it so the high was in the mid-70s……so it was lovely. My final guest left about 7:00 (which was fine because she helped clean up!). DH & I finished the final/final putting everything back in place (although I am still waiting for a load of towels, dish clothes etc. to finish drying. I'm just going to go out on my deck to watch the official fireworks…..too tired to go out again, plus I have a crazy dog who is being driven crazy by the fireworks (which are legal for people to shot off themselves July 1-5. Very hard on pets!).
My Fitbit says I got 14,000 steps today.

Here's the Wednesday Walking Women celebrating 4th of July week with a walk around an old fort.

Great WWW picture. That's an amazing flag dress!
Walked earlier today. Came home and decided that my watermelon door hanger I painted in 2017 needed an update. I keep it outside on my deck during the summer and the weather has done a number on it. It's 18 inches.

You are so creative, Wonderland!
I will probably go for a dog walk today, Dance2fit & Yoga.

Love the flag dress!
My DH's return was almost as horrible as the trip out to Indianapolis…but he did get home at midnight on Friday June 30…so we had an extended July 4th weekend!
Wonderland, the travel now is crazy so having a beach week NOT on the fourth sounds like a good plan, our family usually goes in May and October…perfect!
It has been too hot and humid here in SE Virginia for much of anything! It is like the switch was tripped from a beautiful June to a hot humid July, ugh. Has been too hot to even enjoy the patio…
Because of special classes at the gym, including special July 4th programming, I have 6 days straight at the gym this week, Sun - Friday. today is a bittersweet day as we celebrate my friend Bill who died 2 months ago, but who would have been 90 today…so after our noon class we will raise a toast and have a time of memory with his wife Mary and those who have known them for nearly 20 years.
Take care everyone, TT

TT, there are some people who are so vital that even if they are almost 90 years old, they have died too young. Bill was one of them.
We had a rotten June, so we have flipped to nicer weather. Strange weather all over the world.

TT: What a nice tribute to your friend.
Walked with a friend on Friday. Saturday was a day for errands. Walked/ran today. Tomorrow is mow day.

I just got back from a long weekend, visiting my brother & sister-in-law who live near Minneapolis & my 89 year old aunt & cousins in Wisconsin. We did lots & lots of walking so got my steps if not any toning. I need to get back to a normal schedule and diet tomorrow!!!
0 -
Such a nice trip, Ruth. How nice that you got to visit everyone, especially your aunt.
Mowed 1 hour and 15 minutes today with breaks. I accidentally ran over a yellow jacket nest. Got stung 7 times! They HURT! I've iced them, put baking soda paste on them, and taken Advil. 4 of them are really red and swollen and I'm worried about cellulitis. I have taken pictures and circled the red areas with a pen. I'll know tomorrow if I need to go to the doctor.

Oh no, Wonderland! I have had several run-ins with swarms of bees and they are awful. You can also crush up Benedryl & make a paste to put on them topically (and swallow some down to reduce swelling from the inside). Hope you are feeling better today & don't need to go to the doctor (although if you do need to go, sooner is better than later).
I am off for a haircut & lunch with a friend. Zumba & Yoga this evening.

Oh, that sounds horrible Wonderland…good remedies though, haven't heard of those before, benedryl paste!
Today is prep day before going off to DC for business meetings Wed-Sun, so lots of running around, but no running to the gym. Lots of steps in my future, though, while in DC.TT

I also have never heard of the Benedryl paste. Will remember that if I have another unfortunate encounter.
Could hardly sleep last night bc of the pain. Swelling has gone down on all the stings except one. The redness hasn't spread, thank goodness. I found some Advil 800mg and took one this morning. That really helped. Doing better now. Again, thank goodness!
TT: Even though your trip is work related, I hope you can have fun in DC.

Walked this morning with my husband. We used to walk 4 miles at least 4-5 times a week, but he had back surgery and is slowly moving back to where we were. It's blazing hot here in Fl now so if you don't get out before 9am, it's miserable.
I belong to the Y and should go more, but as a realtor I find my morning getting away from me.

It was rainy & the mosquitoes are awful, so the Wednesday Walking Women went inside this morning. The town plans to spray for mosquitoes so we can actually be outside to enjoy our short summer!

Our summer with mosquitos last 10 months. 🤣
0 -
Blah, you know they are bad when they chase you through a parking lot! Our town is suppose to spray for them tonight; which would be good because some are carrying West Nile Disease, so they're not just annoying!

Karen- glad you got some time with your sweet grand baby. I hope you are feeling ok.
Ruth-your trip to NC looked really relaxing! Any good book recommendations?
Homemom-10 months of mosquitoes sounds awful to me
Wonderland- those yellow jackets are vicious. Hope you are feeling better.
TT sorry for the loss of your friend; it’s difficult to lose someone at any age.It’s been a hot, humid, smoke-filled summer in CT so far. We are in a pattern of getting all that as well as lots of clouds and rain.
I am healing well from my surgery to remove my breast implants and have been able to get back into some regular exercise. At the Y I am back to swimming laps, doing water fitness and Zumba classes. Planning to get some bike riding in on Martha’s Vineyard as we will be there for a week.

Glad you are healing well & getting back to your regular routine, Ginger. Enjoy Martha's Vineyard!
I always have book recommendations! Two novels I really enjoyed this spring are Demon Cooperhead by Barbara Kingsolver & Lessons In Chemistry by Bonnie Garmus. If you like Jane Austin, I came across a series of books called 'Being A Jane Austin Mystery' by Stephanie Barron. In each book Jane is confronted with a mystery which she solves with many twists and turns. They are like adult, period piece, Nancy Drew books. I enjoy them so much that I can't start one when I have anything else.

I went to Pound & Dance2fit today
Wonderland how are your bee stings doing?
0 -
Hi Everyone! Just a quick drop in.
My stings are improving - they now itch-hurt (does that make sense?) Dh foam sprayed the nest and has not seen anymore activity. Hope it stays that way!
My exercise has been getting ready/packing for our annual beach trip with my side of the family. We leave tomorrow and already have most things in the car. Looking forward to a good week. I also have a craft packed and ready to share. If it turns out like I hope it does I'll post pictures.
Have a great weekend everyone!

Have fun, Wonderland!
A Pound/Barre class this morning & a fun trail walk with DH & Bruno.

I spent most of the day cleaning, took a walk & now need to force myself to do some toning….

HI all…back from DC, long days, happy to be home.
Books: for a series, I LOVE the Donna Leon series set in Venice, I have read 30+ at this point, she writes one a year so it is also fun to watch the years go by…flip phones to iPhones, children growing up, etc.
Our library does an adult summer reading program to coincide with the student summer reading program…I love filling in my sheets and getting my small prizes (jar of honey, tin of tea, etc.) 4 books/sheet, 2 sheets/month for the 3 months of the summer…I love having the goal to fill them all out!
Of course for Martha's Vineyard I would have to go with one of my go-to (sorry) Nantucket authors - Elin HIlderbrand or Nancy Thayer.
A couple of years ago Curtis Sittenfeld did a modern version of Austin's Sense and Sensibility…this summer she has a new novel, Romantic Comedy, I have read it and now is on my audio book collection — love to "revisit" books I have read while driving, I always pick up additional details I missed the first time.
While in DC I walked and walked, off to do the grocery shopping and then will end my day at the gym for a reset for the week ahead.
Great picture of Bruno, Ruth. Good to hear from you Ginger, welcome Homemom, continued healing Wonderland…and hope you are well Karen. Best, TT
