Some of the WWW look so happy it makes me wonder if that orange juice is actually a mimosa…😀
Approaching the end of my school week, no classes on Friday, so Thursday is the big push. Will go to the gym tonight, did Tai Chi yesterday.
Husband has been in Seattle all week…always have big plans of afterschool chores around the house on weeks he is gone…and then it's Thursday and…nothing! Oh well.
Happy mid-Sept, we are finally out of the 90's and the 10 day forecase is all low 80's and 70's, woohoo. TT

TT, the orange juice was actually a mimosa! One of ladies turned 75 on Wednesday and she provided the refreshments! 🤪
We took a very long walk this morning due to the fact that the carpet cleaner was here doing his thing. I am off to Dance2fit & Yoga in a few minutes. It is beautiful here at the moment!

TT: Lol about Thursday coming around and your chores are still undone. Happens to me all the time.
Ruth: Always love your WWW pictures. So many women now. Your pictures are so pretty!
Mowed today for 90 minutes. I'm camping at my favorite Girl Scout camp for the weekend starting tomorrow evening. It's a weekend just for adults. I signed up for boating, a needle felting class, NC Stream Watch program, and lots of free time for relaxing and walking. Like TT said, the weather has changed for the good and it will be perfect for camping (I'll either be in a platform tent or a cabin). So looking forward to it!
Ruth: 2 more weeks until the wedding!

Got my labs from earlier this week - some numbers are way out of range - waiting to see what nephrologist says on Wednesday. My Creatinine and EGFR and always up and down a bit, but more or less stable. My ratio is sky high - and not sure what that means. My Calcium continues to rise a little each month (not good). Going to send a copy of the labs to my Hematologist and Endocrinologist.
All my baking is done - finished it Sunday and Monday night. I have several small sweet round challah and challah rolls and I made a new recipe, Apple challah. Saving it for lunch tomorrow as my son will be joining us for a late lunch after synagogue. So today I need to cook the turkey breasts, gefilte fish and all the sides. My husband smoked turkey necks and wings for tonight and I will grill a small turkey breast. Menu includes gefilte fish, sweet potatoes, delicata squash, spicy carrots (trying new recipe) turkey breast and smoked turkey necks and wings. For dessert I have my grandmother's nut cake and a wonderful honey cake. Tomorrow lunch we have gefilte fish, brisket, potato kugel, green beans and spaghetti squash. Sunday lunch after synagogue salmon, rice, salad. Tomorrow night a light dinner - potato leek soup and challah. Of course challah and apples dipped in challah tonight and tomorrow lunch.
Wonder - have a fun weekend!
Ruth - wow, 2 weeks till the wedding!
I will be offline starting dinner time tonight through Sunday night for Rosh Hashana.
For everyone that celebrates, Shana Tova.

Hope they can get your labs figured out, Karen. If your spicy carrots turn out, please share the recipe!
Wonderland, your weekend sounds very fun!
We'll do another dog walk today. We need to touch base with The Happy Couple to find out where we are supposed to be and when! I finally know my extended family's plans so can start planning food for when they are here. Carpet was cleaned yesterday, windows will be cleaned next Tuesday, we need to clean the garage, buy groceries etc. I have a haircut & color next week and need to make sure DH gets a haircut too. Hopefully nice weather will last and the leaves don't all fall off the trees before the 30th!

Took a long walk (fun), cleaned the garage (not fun, but I did find the cover of a butter dish that had been missing for several years!).

Karen: Goodness, I really hope your labs get figured out.
Ruth: Always rewarding to find something you have lost. Especially after several years.
I had a fantastic weekend at Girl Scout camp. Walked many miles in the woods going back and forth from cabin to dining hall to many other locations. So peaceful. And it's inspiring to be around women who are willing to spend hours of their own time learning and getting trained so that they can volunteer to work with girls to help them become amazing women!

Sounds like a great time, Wonderland, both to be in nature and with like-minded women.
More dog walking and the last yoga in the park of the season (it's getting dark and cool earlier)

We had a nice Rosh Hashana. My son came for lunch on Saturday so I had two of my 3 kids together. I was exhausted Friday when I was done cooking and I really didn't do that much (well for at least). I just don't have the stamina that I had before chemo and I've been done for 4 months. DD#2 left this morning for DD#1 and to meet her niece. DD#2 is doing all the grocery shopping and cooking while she is there. DD#1 gets spoiled by her parents and sister.
My Nephrologist appointment for Wednesday was cancelled - he had a death in the family - The first available is October 31st. So 6 weeks till I get the news on my test results. DD#2 is friends with his daughter's and said one of their dogs just died - talk about awful. Talking to my DD#2 now and we had that the month my MIL passed away we had to put our dog down - and my daughter goes - that was a horrible summer!!! Yes it was. DD#2 is amazing - so much fun and perceptive.
I'm still tired today. I have a ton of paperwork to complete for my intermittent FMLA. I guess I best do it tonight. I'm leaving work 2 hours early - since the start of the school year, but at first it wasn't approved so I just took the 2 hours daily - I think that was easier. Oh well.
Nice weather this week.Low 80s for the high and mostly sunny and mid to high 50s at night.
Ruth - are you counting the days to the wedding?

Sounds like a fun family time, Karen. Hopefully you have lots of leftovers so you don't have to cook for awhile! Blah on the paperwork (which I remember so well). And it is frustrating to have appointments pushed back even if there is a very good reason.
Yes, it is crunch time for the wedding. I took a big piece of tag board & have been writing down all the things I need to do every day. Now that I know who from my family is coming & how long they're staying, I've been able to put together menus. Today I shopped for some of the non-perishables, extra toilet paper, garbage bags etc. Tomorrow we are getting the windows professionally cleaned (which we have never done before, but really, we should not be climbing up ladders & hanging out of windows anymore!). I did go to Zumba this morning & took a dog walk this afternoon.

DH & I got our pre-wedding haircuts this morning & took the dog for a walk while all my windows were being cleaned (they look FABULOUS!). Zumba & Yoga tonight.

Karen: That's great that your dd#1 gets to meet her niece! Such a wonderful gift to do all the grocery shopping and cooking while she is there. Gosh, how frustrating that you have to wait so long for your lab results.
Ruth: Having your windows professionally cleaned is a fantastic idea.
I walked this afternoon. Slowing getting cooler during the days. This week is my county's Agricultural Fair. It's a small fair but so much fun bc it's agriculturally based - competition with animals, flowers, vegetables, arts and crafts, etc. I've only entered a craft and a flower arrangement one time and that was 6 years ago. This year I decided to enter my okra, and 2 crafts. Small Town Fun!
My okra was in competition with 5 other entries. I got the Blue Ribbon! We have been eating and freezing a lot of okra bc the plants have been abundant.
I entered my turtle oyster shell wall hanging I made for my friend (I don't remember if I posted a picture of it.) It was entered in the Senior Citizens category (65 and up). Got a Blue Ribbon for it! I looked at the other entries and every single one got a ribbon. That really made my laugh. Most were Blue. I also entered the oyster shell angel I posted a picture of earlier - got a Red Ribbon.

Wow, that is very cool, Wonderland. Congratulations!

Here's the Wednesday Walking Women picture. It's our high school's Homecoming this week and you can probably guess the the school colors from the picture!

Ruth: Looks cold! Hope you win.
Walked this morning and this afternoon. We had some of my award winning okra for dinner tonight. 😋
Here is another picture from the fair. The front ride is called The Zipper. I took a video of it and all you can hear are people screaming. That would be me if I was forced to ride it or someone offered me a million dollars to ride it. Rides and Wonderland don't fit well together anymore. 😂

I'd ride it (and keep my eyes shut the whole time) for a million dollars! 😁
I went out for a long coffee with an old friend visiting from Arizona this morning. I'll go to Dance2fit & Yoga tonight. It's been raining all day, which is a good thing. It has been very dry & the trees need some moisture before they shut down for the winter

Ruth: I'm sure you're happy for the rain. We will be affected by a Tropical Depression on Saturday. Not in the direct path (hopefully it goes further out to sea). Thinking of you TT.
Walked this morning. I started pumpkin painting today. Here are 2 of them.

I've washed bedding, done some more shopping, and painted my toenails today. This weekend I need to pin down The Happy Couple about the Final Details. It's not that hard being the Mother-of-the-Groom (as long as you can keep your mouth shut and smile). 😃

Met a friend for a very short walk. Painted 2 more pumpkins. Bigfoot is for a friend of mine - added the owl bc she loves owls. I give these pumpkins to family and friends.

Love the pumpkins, Wonderland.
I didn't do any formal exercise yesterday, but spent quite a few hours transplanting perennials. My old neighbor had a beautiful perennial garden and the people who bought her house want to get rid of it & said I could take whatever I wanted….so I did!
Yoga this morning. It's a rainy, rainy day & I ended up taking a nap.

Today's my birthday. #68! Yesterday we went to see the touring show Chicago. It was fabulous and inspiring to watch those young bodies move in ways I can't anymore. 😀
Today dd brought over ice cream with a candle in it. Mint Chocolate Chip - my favorite!

Happy Birthday, Wonderland!! It sounds like a very fun celebration!
It was still raining today. I danced around to Marshall Fitness videos for about 45 minutes and went to Yoga.

Happy Happy (belated) Birthday! What a wonderful "cake" your favorite ice cream with a candle, love it.
Also really love all those pumpkins Wonderland, you are so talented.
The tropical storm was interesting…we had 3-4 inches of rain in a 24 hr period, yesterday afternoon when I was doing grocery shopping the town really looked like a mess with debris all over the place, but my thought was we had really dodged a bullet…no major trees down, just debris. No power outage, just flickers. BUT, when I went for my regular Sunday evening yoga class, I heard some bad stories…it started Friday late afternoon for us and Saturday was the main event. We decided we would stay at home and read and figure out another time to do our Saturday around town chores…which was the wise choice. All my friends who had trouble had decided to go out on Saturday morning in the height of the bands of the storm and found driving impossible, cars in ditches…Home and reading never looked so good!
Have been thinking of you Ruth and the big countdown to Saturday, glad you are clicking through your chore list. Blessing to all your way.
Happy Fall, really starting to see it here in SE Virginia...finally days consistently in the 70's, perfect! TT

I went to Zumba and then started on 'The List'. I took out a big piece out tag board and have written down everything I have to do between now and next Monday (when the last of my company leaves). I am glad to report I got everything on today's list done!
0 -
TT: Where I live in NC mainly got rain and some wind - nothing like the coast. Good for you for staying home and reading instead of landing in a ditch!
Ruth: On to Tomorrow's List! Just realized this is the same weekend my dd got married last year (Oct. 1). Hope your weather is clearing up for you!
Mowed for 95 minutes. Slightly cooler weather made it almost enjoyable today.

Fingers are crossed on the weather. At this very moment, Saturday is predicted to be 76 and partly cloudy……which would be perfect!

Well, my teaching schedule this fall is killing my ability to get to the gym at lunch, which is my best time for midweek classes given my at home after school responsibilities…ugh, I'm not liking it. Missed yesterday and today. Will have to find another plan…TT

I hate when that darn schedule gets in the way of when I want to exercise.
I went to Pound this morning, Zumba & Yoga tonight. I am loading up on the exercise since I won't time as the weekend gets closer. I also bought more groceries, vacuumed & dusted the upstairs, washed towels etc, & did a little yard work. I pretty much need to finish up the house tomorrow as the first company comes in Thursday afternoon!
