    Another great WWW picture, Ruth!

    It's been so hot, humid, stormy, etc. that I decided to just lay low and not walk outside. The thunderstorms go from 0 to 10 in a blink of an eye. Today the humidity and dew point are much better so I walked! Need to mow again in the next couple of days.

    I went to a Yoga/Pilates Fusion class this morning…..which I needed because as I was backing out of the garage to get there (running late), I knocked the side mirror off our brand new car. Yikes! I went down to the dealership & ordered a new one before going home and telling DH about it. (The mirror is actually still on the car, but in rather a mangled state. yikes!!). I am watering right now as the weekend is supposed to be hot. I may go on a dog walk this afternoon.

    Oh no, Ruth! That's great that you jumped right on it and had a new one ordered.

    Walked early this afternoon.

    A Texas business I follow on FB posted this today: "I'm really looking forward to those crisp 90 degree Fall days in Texas."

    We just finished our daily walk. We belong to the gym too, so when hubby's Pt for his back surgery ends next week, we plan to walk in the morning and go to the gym late afternoon.

    Nice picture of the WWW…but small numbers, must be the August vacations!

    Summer if OVER for me, school starts on Monday! My 36th year…will it be the last???

    Here are some pics of my birthday with Mom and sister (I'm horrible at selfie positions - 62, 64, 88) and Creme Brulee Cheesecake for my b'day cake!

    The cake is 62 and one to grow on…I don't need to grow!

    Have been making it to the gym 4-6 days a week, happy about that. Next week will be a challenge as the start of school also entails so many "special meetings" and appointment.

    So sad about Maui, in the weird coincident department, I have Hawaiian heritage and go "frequently" — at least once every 4 years if not sooner…the 4 years is our "backstop". At any rate, on the Monday before the fire I started planning a trip to Hawaii with some days in Maui specifically staying in Lahaina at the Banyon Tree 30 room hotel from the late 1800's that we have been at before. The next morning…gone. Hawaii is so remote, really hit hard with COVID, now this, ugh.

    Sending love to all, and especially Karen. TT

    TT, there were actually more walkers but I thought this might be interesting break from the usual mob of women.

    Happy, Happy Birthday! You can't go wrong with Creme Brulee! All my 'active' teacher friends are taking a deep breath before jumping in for another. They haven't been able to fill all the positions so people are taking on extra duties, classes etc. not good, and something needs to be done on a national level.....but that's a whole other discussion.

    DH's birthday is tomorrow so we are off for a weekend road trip. I HOPE to get some walking in@

    Good Monday Morning! We spent the weekend by a lake in Minnesota to celebrate DH's birthday. I did quite a but of walking but even more eating…..so back to real life today. I am off to Zumba in a few minutes & maybe Pound tonight.

    I've gotta get back on the exercise routine pre COVID last week. Still feel a little fatigue.

    Yesterday was the first day of school, I was exhausted! On top of first day rush, DH left for airport at 6am on a business trip, so I met the first day with only 5.5 hrs of sleep — not good! …but did still get to the gym so that was good.

    Off to lunchtime yoga soon…happy Tuesday - Tuesday Treat Day!

    TT

    Hope you give yourself soon treats today, TT!

    I have just emerged from cleaning a walk-in closet. I have tons of things to throw, recycle or give to charity. I found a big box full of markers so have spent quite a bit of time trying them out to see which ones aren't dried out yet as I have teacher friends who could use the good ones. I have lots & lots more sorting to do, so back to the salt mine! (I will go to Dance2fit & Yoga tonight.)

    Our community garden has a large grassy area and we have free yoga twice a month on Saturday mornings. I'll finally be able to start participating this Saturday.

    Here are the Wednesday Walking Women. It's our 11th Anniversary!!

    TT: Happy Belated Birthday! Great picture of the strong women in your family. Hope you have a fantastic semester!

    Ruth: WWW is 11 years old! I remember when you started the group.

    homemom: Have fun at your outside yoga class.

    Went to visit ds on Sunday. I started to organize/go through boxes of workshop items I boxed up when we had work done in the basement. It's been on my do to list. Had another free yard sale by the road - dd added some things also. All but a few items were gone by the next day. My favorite kind of yard sale.

    Pushed mowed for 1 hour today. Dh finished the rest of the yard.

    Walked (and kinda jogged some) this morning. This evening I was able to get in one hour of pruning a bush before a huge thunderstorm made me stop. Plan to finish it tomorrow early before the Big Heat (like it's not hot enough) arrives in the afternoon. Have another bush that desperately needs pruning but I'll wait until next week when it's a little cooler.

    I worked cleaning out two large closets in the basement. During all the cleaning out, I off a chair and right on to something sharp on the floor…Ouch, my bottom of my foot hurts!) I went to Zumba & Yoga tonight.

    Went to the gym for the first time since COVID, it was nice. Have to do my weight bearing lunges, take my shower and go out to dinner with my sister and friends. She is moving out of our neighborhood to a condo 20 minutes away tomorrow.

    I think if you are a 'gym rat', exercising on your own just can't replace it! Here's where we walked today.

    Looks like a great place for a walk, Ruth. Go Bruno!

    homemom: Glad you felt strong enough to go back to the gym. Enjoy you dinner out!

    Pruned and picked up the trimmings for 90 minutes this morning. I was drenched!

    Such a long week for me…not one day that I got 8hrs of sleep, which I really need. I week of 5.5 - 7.5 doesn't do it for me.

    Got to a yin yoga class today that feels more like a private therapy session the woman teacher is so good!

    DH is coming home today…started at 6am mountain time (Colorado Springs) to catch a flight…it is now 9:30pm eastern and still not home. Missed his flight in Denver, led to a 9 hour delay! He'll be home 1am, I will be ASLEEP!

    Fantastic for your 11th anniversary of the WWW…always love the weekly pictures. I have some teacher friends who have a (liquor infused) brunch the first day of school each year…I much prefer your weekly walking group!

    Happy weekend all…the last week end of summer before labor day! TT

    Hope DH finally makes it home, TT. It is still fun to be different places, but they sure have taken the fun out of getting there & back again! If I had a liquor infused brunch, I'd be asleep for the rest of the day! I'd also rather be walking (and eating afterwards minus the booze)!

    TT: Hope you get more sleep this week!

    Walked this evening.

    Walked today. The air is so thick!

    We are having air quality alerts because of the smoke from the Canadian wildfires. We usually have 2 or 3 alerts a year & this year has been 31 (so far). I went to Zumba & Pound yesterday & will go to Zumba & Yoga today.

    That's awful, Ruth. And scary.

    Walked early this afternoon. Later I painted this large red ornament for dd. She bought 2 of them during the after Christmas sales. I painted one after she bought it and thought she was going to paint the other one. She asked me to instead. My spacing is off in a couple of places and it bothers me. But it will all look better in the morning lol. She will be hanging them on her porch so it will be fine.
