    I like seeing where others live, and inside their homes........some how makes it like when we talk we can picture you all sitting around enjoying our conversations.......

    Maye I'll show you the rest of my house one day......its one story, but it is pretty big........

    Oh no Lucy!! Now I'm ALWAYS gonna picture you on the loo when you're here at the Bonfire!! hahahahahahaha

    Ducky, I like to take a walk when people have their fireplaces going and see them all snuggled up in their houses looking all cozy. Yes, I'm weird. haha It makes me think of holidays and family. I'm just a sentimental old fool.

    I like your purple chair! Is that a special added back support? I think I need one of those.

    Blondie.........yes a great day for the shore.........just wish we would have gone down..............actually my younger daughter may not go much at all this season......if they don't get the dogs Meds to a level where she won't have anymore seizures I am certain she will not go.........

    That leaves my daughter Michele and as I said before if she doesn't go often enough I will really consider getting rid of it.............sad but keeping it is ridiculous for the amount of time I 'm down there........

    Oh well.........

    good morning

    Slo,that back support I bought in the dollar store

    U no I bought a bunch if them.ha

    Ducky,I'm sorry about the house at the shore....that's why I got rid of my summer house cause no one wanted to go and no one wanted to do anything either....they meaning my kids told me GET RID OF IT MA,NO ONE WANTS TO TAKE CARE OF IT...Me like a jerk I listened and now I'm right back here only 6 miles from where I lived and my kids r kickin themselves in the ass now that we don't have it anymore...think very careful about it...I no u were talkin about it BUT!!!!!

    I just baked 3pumpkin breads...I feel like I put in a day's work

    Your right FK........when I went down last week just for the day with my daughter to put the chlorine in the pool it felt good to be back there.

    Problem is....I don't go down to enjoy it...I always need someone to be there with me...no reason, but hell I can do the same thing up here as I can do down there.........will not go in the pool by myself......and it is just as lonely down there as it is up here , so why drive 2 hours down and 2 more back to be "lonely" just further away.........

    Do I want to get rid of it......NO, but the people who take care of it may not be going as often, and with Stella Nikki might not go at all this year........and its not fair for 1 daughter and SIL to take care of a house that all 6 will share in when I die.....Morbid yes,,,,,,,,,,,,,,honest yes.........

    So....we will see what this year brings....don't misunderstand there are those who would go down all the time, but they "just go".....no thought of the things that have to be done all season........and like I said "I'm no ones maid", unless you are working right along with me............"You can stay home".........

    Time will tell.........and it is an expense.....which is on me, but how can I ask 2 kids to carry the burdon when 6 will share in the "sale when it comes time"...........even though they are the only 2 who come down..............the others think............"Hey they go down, we don't, so let them pay for the house"..................good point........but should they pick up the taxes, maintenance on the property.......I said "NO"...........electric, pool maintenance, lawn care, "maybe", but major things "NO".........that should be a shared expense cause "ALL" are going to get their share of the house when its sold.........eventually.

    But they also don't care if I sell it...........in fact all 6 have told me "sell it".........so its really on me to make the decision............we will see...............but FK you are right...........

    Ok all, it has been brought to my attention that some might be worried about me. Don't worry. Been walking with a friend and doing other things that I haven't been able to do the past 4 years. The Nerve pain is gone since my breast reconstruction/reduction. I am tired of being a couch potato and trying to get back in shape. It will take alot of determination on my part as I can't even walk a half hour on flat land without getting shakey in the legs and knees. Walking as far as we can go, every other day, with my friend (in the same shape). And starting to garden again. That takes me away from the computer and you know what that means. I was 7 pages behind here.. Not reading up.. Hugs and Kisses from GmaFoley.

    hahaha mjh!!

    Ducky, get in your bathtub and cover yourself with a mattress. That's what they tell you to do if you don't have a basement. My question is who can carry a mattress to the bathtub right in the middle of a tornado? If a tornado is forecast are you just supposed to stay in the bathtub all day with the mattress on you? Makes no sense to me.

    Got my scan results and everything is clear from cancer, just the shoulder does have some issues and they want me to see an ortho. I saw MO today and while on the way there and in the parking lot I had a break down. Cried and cried, I called dh and he talked to me for a little bit. I still felt shaky going in but I collected myself. I just hate going to the cancer center, seeing the people who are obviously going thru treatment hurts my heart. Not to mention being in the same place I got chemo literally makes me feel sick to my stomach. It just sucks!!

    btw your houses look so tidy and neat.....mine seems like a wreck all the time. lol

    tang. (Hugs) to you. So glad your scan was clear. but sorry for all the emotional trauma it has caused you.. It is awful.to see people who.are in the middle of treatment.. We can see the fear on their faces.. And we KNOW exactly what they are going through. It was good that you hubby could help talk.you through it.

    Slow..... Peepy I love the photos of your home.. I can feel the heart and soul and just looking at it .I'll have to.share a photo of my loo with you later.!! 😃

    Ducky ..You're grand-daughter is a real beauty ..You are all gorgeous !! Post a picture of an ugly in -law so I feel.better .!! 😃

    Yes, lets hear it for ugly inlaws and messy houses! Just kidding! You are certainly the queen of the good looking peeps, Ducky!

    Slow, your house looks so cozy and peaceful and quiet! I better get there soon!

    Tang, awww. It is a weird thing to go back. I find myself doing this thing, like, i square my shoulders back, and take big quick steps when i get there. I don't know if im fooling anybody, because when im home, im slouchy and slow, and i STILL lie down alot... oh well.. But here is a hug for you, and it's nice to see you here, and thanks for letting us know. YAAAAY!!!! NO cancer!!! Love to you all

    Tang, I find it difficult to go to certain places, too. A week ago, my 15 yr old son needed a STAT CT with contrast. Same waiting room where I waited before my mammos and biopsy. When I finally (3 hours later) got in the back with him, there was the room where I had my biopsy. I saw the nurse who had explained language (I could understand) what was happening to me and what the results meant. It was awful to be back there. If I wasn't so concerned about my boy, I would have been a hysterical mess. I used to be fearless.... but now I know better. A positive thing: I got to tell the nurse how much she had impacted my bc journey and how grateful I was for her help and compassion. She started crying and gave me a hug!

    My house is messy and cluttered lately. When going through treatment, I saved my energy to spend with my kids and DH.
