Karen: Low maintenance plants sound good to me. Enjoy every minute with your GD and DD#1. So cool that you can walk with your GD and hold her hand!
Ruth: You will definitely have your hands full with all the dogs. How amazing that ds and dil get to go to Alaska for their honeymoon. Hugs to Bruno. He'll have a fun time with all the "relatives" visiting.
Finished planting the garden. Thought I was buying zucchini plants. Instead it was more yellow squash. Planted 8 squash plants. I will be having squash every night this summer! Also accidentally bought a watermelon plant. Dh said I added it to the collection of plant we were buying and I blame him for buying it lol. Luckily we had an extra 4'x8' box to plant it bc it will need a lot of space.
Also went for a short walk this evening.

It's too early to plant anything here; but we can start thinking about it!
I danced around the house yesterday before the the dogs came & sneaked off to Yoga this morning. We are going back & forth between our houses. Both to keep their schedule more normal, and so we don't go crazy!
DS & wife are having a fun day in Seattle, and sail away tomorrow.
TT, thinking of you & your family tomorrow. 💓

Pound/Barre this afternoon between puppy sitting duties. It's been raining here, so I have been mopping muddy footprints from floors all day long.

Zumba this morning, & plan on HIT at 5:30.

Ruth: Hope you're getting lots of Alaska pictures. Such a fabulous trip for your dh and dil!
Karen: Thinking of you. Have fun with your dd and GD!
Yesterday dh, dd, sil, ds, his gf and I went to see the touring show of Moulin Rouge. It was fabulous! They have updated the songs since the 2001 movie and included more current songs. I would love to see it again.
My belly was upset this morning so I have done nothing today. Literally nothing. Feeling fine now and finally got the clothes that were in the dryer since Saturday and folded/put them away lol.

Hope you are still feeling okay, Wonderland!
Karen, are your DD & granddaughter still there?
TT, hope Sunday went as well as possible.
DS & DIL's ship was at sea all yesterday. They docs in Juneau pretty soon. I do hope I will get an update & some pictures then! Barre & Zumba tonight.

Hi all, back from Charlotte, it was exhausting physically and emotionally, but it went as well as possible.
DH and I are the youngest in both families, so at 63 and 62 our brothers/sisters/cousins of our generation go from us up to 79, with most in their 70's. Which for my friends from the gym who are 60-90 this is an active group, but for some strains of our family the 75-79 group are getting quite slow, on canes/walkers…or couldn't travel due to the uncertainty of what accommodations would be…I hope the work we are doing forestalls those conditions for me!
This is our last week of school before turning to finals so a busy time on campus.
Today I wore my first "short" pants of the season — I spend half the year in capri pants it seems. We are in the 80's for several days now.
Thanks for all the good wishes sent my way. Take care all, TT

TT, my DH is #10 of 11 children. 3 of his siblings have died (2 done in by their lifestyle choices) and most of the rest are not in very good shape either (due to overeating, no exercise and/or smoking). It definitely makes us want to try to stay in shape! I am glad I hang around active people where exercise is the norm!@

My DD#1 and GD leave early tomorrow morning. Tonight we will celebrate DD's birthday. DS is also coming for dinner and he will give GD her bday present early. May is a busy month with 4 birthdays and mother's day starting May 3rd and ending May 16th. In order, DD#1, me, DS, mother's day and then GD turns one. It's been great having DD and GD here. We will be with them in Toronto in 2 weeks for DG 1st birthday.

Yea, it's easier to say goodbye when you know you'll be seeing them again soon!
Happy May Day! Here's the Wednesday Walking Women.

Oh Karen, such wonderful times this month for you, now at home and soon in Toronto. Have fun.
Ruth, I hear you on the active crowd vs the non-active crowd…DH and I met at a 1-mile open ocean swim (yes, that we were competing in the event). 33 years later can't say I still do THAT, but over the years we swim, sail, scuba dive, lift weights, bike, do yoga and walk, walk, walk. Living downtown with stuff to do in our small village makes that part of life good.
Off to DC tomorrow for business. TT

TT, I got kind of frustrated when I was in Florida with my old girlfriends of almost 50 years. None of the other 3 have really stayed active & one of them kept saying what an exceptionally, unusually fit person I was (apparently because I walked on the beach every one morning for one hour…..hardly on the scale of an elite athlete!!!). I finally said that what I was the NORM for the people I hang out with…..all of them in their 50s, 60s, 70s and one of our most fit walkers is 81!
I will go to Pound tonight before heading to DS's, as it's my turn to sleep overnight with the grandpets!

Oh Ruth, I hear you…at our family beach cottage, my rule is a one hour beach walk each morning…I walk in cold with layers, in warm sun with a sunshirt, in light rain, mist, fog…all but thunder. Until recently (age 85) my mom walked with ski poles. In my 40's I determined what was a three mile round trip…and that distance was the goal…now it is 1 hour.
At the beach I know we especially make up for it with snacks and happy hour…but what can be more wonderful than a walk on the beach. I walk in my sneakers for a real walk in the morning and then piddle around in the afternoon. TT

As my registered dietitian friend says "If you don't use it, it will turn into cement." So it really doesn't turn into that we all know what she means. My body aches and hurts if I don't stay somewhat active.
Did some household chores and then walked late this afternoon.

DD#1's birthday - the start of our May birthdays.
Medical Oncologist appointment is this morning. Anxiety has resurfaced mostly because of events of past year. He does labs right before the visit when vitals are taken. Monday I have labs for Hematologist for May 13 appointment.

Let us know how it goes, Karen.

I did 45 minutes of dancing with Marshall Fitness on the computer.

Karen: Hope your oncology appointment was a good one. Please let us know how you are doing.
Mowed today for 70 minutes. Temperature 86 degrees. Humid. Nothing like the previous mow days of the year. Turned on the ac in the house yesterday for the first time this year. Luckily we will be having rain over the weekend and will cool the air temperature down.
Mowed then met a friend for a walk.

Back from DC and watching the Kentucky Derby…lots of walking in DC and in the return with the Saturday grocery shopping and doing chores. Looking forward to going to Yoga tomorrow…I haven't been to the gym in over a week…ugh. Happy Saturday, TT

I went to Yoga this morning. Two more days of babysitting all the grandpets!

Pound/Barre this afternoon, after which I did a little cleaning at DS's house (primarily the floors that were tracked with mud from all the rain we had last week). The Happy Couple should be back in town about 5pm, and this happy couple will be glad to relinquish our pet setting duties (DH more than me; as a teacher, a disrupted schedule is the norm!).

TT: The Kentucky Derby was amazing! That ending!
Ruth: Seems like they just left yesterday for their trip. I know you can't wait to hear all about it.
Walked this afternoon.

Well, the trip is extended a little. They were supposed to fly from Seattle, through Denver & arrive at our little regional airport at 4:30. I am mad at your weather, Karen, because it is so bad that they would have missed their connect if they flew through there. So, now they are flying to Chicago & back to an airport 100 miles away. DH will pick them up at 10:30 tonight. Argh, traveling now days!
I went to Zumba this morning & with the new schedule, I'll go to HIT tonight. I will hopefully sleep in tomorrow morning!!!!!

I bet everyone will be tired, Ruth!
Karen: Hope all is well with you.
No formal exercise for me today. I volunteered at the free clothes closet this afternoon. It's been rainy here and lots of people who live in tents came in to get more clothes while their wet ones dried out. Finally the man in charge said we would only accept children's clothes for now to give us time to go through and sort all the bags that came in last week. Always a work in progress.

Went to the gym Sunday and Monday, today is PT for me and then a walk to our downtown at dinner time to meet up with my college roommate and her husband who are in town on business…what fun. I missed our every 5 year reunion last year (remember that ridiculous smoke event in June in the Northeast) so it has been 6 years since we have seem each other. We were random assigned freshman roommates…now nearly 45 years later still on good terms, I guess it wasn't that bad of a random assignment 😀
0 -
I don't think it was random, TT. It was a 'meant to be' thing! I have several friends like that & they are priceless!
The kids got home at 1:00am. They had a wonderful trip & I was so tired that I slept until 10:06! Something I haven't done since college! I went to Barre & Zumba tonight.
My phone is not letting me in to BCO. I shut it off & on again & changed the password to all no avail. I guess I will have to see if my IT son can figure it out. I think it will be another early night!
Karen, hope your appointment went okay.

Oh Ruth, you are so true on these life-long friends…for example, haven't had someone ask about my grandfather in I don't know how long…he died in 1985 but was quite viable during our college years of 79-83, at our college graduation, etc. Her asking about him and my mother (and I her parents and 6 brothers and sisters) was priceless. Met at 18, now 62!
Glad your DS and DIL got home safe, albeit late! TT

Happy Birthday to Karen!!
Here's the Wednesday Walkers.

Ruth - thanks for the birthday greeting.
My medical oncology visit was good. HE was incredulous all the things that have transpired in the past 6 months. Labs are stable and so do labs for Hematologist seem stable. I see him on Monday. I have my annual physical on Friday.
4 weeks left to the school year and they will be busy!!! Still lots of evaluations to finish and hold meetings.
Next Tuesday night we leave to see GD for her 1st birthday on Thursday!
