    Oh Ducky, beautiful photos and beach home to boot! How lovely. I miss living near the water (grew up in CT). I can't wait to go back east this summer for some family time in CT/RI!

    Onco..............can I pick you brain........when you Achilles' tendon acts up where does it hurt, and what kind of pain do you get.............my 13 year old grandaughter is complaining about her foot.......she is a pitcher and comes down hard on it when she releases the ball...........she is worried, and nothing seems to help....heat, cold, whatever...........I think my daughter is truly gong bonkers cause this kid always has an ache......it is her knee, her thumb......now her heel........

    I thought plantar fascitis, but it is more the back of the heel and ankle then under the heel..........LOL...........thanks........

    Onco- I am not sure about one legged bike riding. When I am feeling like my joints won't support a good walk, bike ride, etc. I get in the pool. You can always swim with just about any joint issue. Do you have a pool available to you? Maybe at a nearby YMCA/YWCA? Swimming has always been a favorite exercise of mine, but really become much more important as things have changed.

    Thanks for calling me the "exercise queen!" LOL!

    Ducky, I enjoyed reading the historical marker.  Both of your homes have beautiful settings.  When away from home, I take pics of historical markers.  It's a great way for me to remember or review the historical setting that I have visited.  

    Onco, I hope that your foot heals quickly.  Awhile ago when I had some foot problems, I purchased a pair of Dansko professional shoes (not the clogs).  At the time, I believed that the shoes speeded up my recovery.  I still put my Danskos on when my feet give me twinges.

    Ducky u GD is beautiful--could she possibly have a spur in her foot--I think that affects the heal, not sure.

    Yes jazzy u are the queen and u can sure travel all over the place. I hope u hear from your friend and all is well.--U have a load of friends all over the place. U must deserve them.

    Everyone is waiting for spring--well it's coming, not yet tho.

    Thanks Teka

    Hermits- I went to see my massage therapist for a short shoulder and foot massage. She gave me today's session as a gift for my birthday. The birthday goes on and on!

    This photo came of a series of pics shared on FB. It just took my breathe away so I had to share it. I put it as the background on my computer so I can see it every day.

    Another photo that came up on FB today, a castle in Tuscany across the way from the villa I stayed at on a yoga retreat back in 2009. This place pulls on me to return to some day!

    Jazzy my grandaughter is going to Italy the day after Easter.........her husband surprised her with the trip......she named all the places she is going, I do remember Tuscany, Venice, Rome, and there were more..............

    Cami.....we have thought of everything it could be...my daughter is going to take her to a Podiatrist.....her baseball season is just beginning, and she plays for 2 teams.....she practices her pitching all year, and gets pitching lessons from a professional pitcher.......I feel so bad for her........

    Sally......yes the views from not far away are wonderful.....nothing more beautiful then the sunset over the water..........here are a couple more..........

    Beautiful photos Ducky. The shore and sunsets, nothing better!

    Your grand daughter will have a wonderful time. I went to Rome and Sicily my first time there. Then everywhere in Tuscany the second time including Florence, Sienna, San Gimiannano, Volterra, and more. Love Italy!

    She is really looking forward to it.............She has been trying to get pregnant and has a very stressful job, especially this time of the year.......She is a CPA.........hopefully maybe she will be lucky and get an Italy baby.............I hope for her sake......she is a little worried....been trying for a year.......

    You are right there is nothing like a sunrise, or a sunset......each one is different....I have many pictures of it......it is funny how we race down to the beach to catch it as it happens........more sunsets then sunrises......LOL.........I can't wait to get back down.....so tired of cold weather........we will probably open the pool the end of May.......I am sure the water is still frozen....LOL........it is a big pool 20x42, but we have had some brutal weather down there too........it probably won't warm up till August.....LOL...

    Onco...........another good friend.........thanks so much for the info....I will tell my daughter who is very protective of her kids, but this time she seems to be a little less concerned..........I read a lot about it today, .........I just wish she would take her and just have it checked out...........

    Her season starts Monday, and I know she will play.......I have seen her taken to the Dr. for a lot less, but I am not going to push anyone..........

    Thanks for the advice.....I will however tell her what you said..........hugs.

    I have been a little busy working and doing stuff around the house.

    Took myself to see 'American Hustle' at the local theater and stopped at a little micro brewery before the show.

    It was yummy and because it was a %10 brew LOL! The guy promised I would feel nice for the movie so I did not see the end coming. 

    HAHAHAHA enough of a spoiler alert for those who haven't seen the film yet

    I do like Bradley Cooper and that is enough. I have to sleep.

    Working daylight all weekend

    Much luv and hugzzzz to all

    Ducky, high five playdough is new to me.  I think I will add some to my gramma supplies as I only have the regular.  I do have some neat playdough tools though.  Grayson's huge smile is a delight.

    Good morning Jazzy.

    Ducky, maybe your grands have invented a new Play Doh use.

    Blondie- a little Mary Jane helps a world of woes. I think it will be legal everywhere soon. I cannot wait to go to CO in June and check out the stores! 

    The whole treatment thing drives people into financial distress. It is terrible. Thinking of you tonight and hoping you feel better soon.

    Hi folks--popping in :)

    Been thinking------always sumpin eh? Thinking of a sister that still reads, but doesn't post much b/c she's too weak. She's in the stage 4 group, but we had worked on one of the threads together along time ago.One of those exciting threads like constipation, but it wasn't that one. I don't want to invade her privacy, so, I won't use her name.

    Then I started thinking of the Warm & Fuzzy Owls Kitties and Funny Stuff thread.

    At first, it was simply a place to keep things that made us happy that we didn't want to loose over time as the pages turn.

    Now maybe something different. When our minds are so heavy, reading complex things can be a chore. But what we are posting on W&F's thread is light , fluffy, easy. They can cheer without having to work at the thought too much. Without having to try to keep track of too many words.

    So, when you post something here or on one of your other threads, that's a picture, saying that we all get as BC 'ers. Please, post it there too. Keep it simple i.e. few words.

    There are several serenity type threads like Foley's pictorial venues. I'm sure there are more that I'm not aware of.

    If anyone thinks this has value, we could ask the others to do transporter links in the topic boxes that would make it even easier for those that need it.

    Link to warm and fuzzy owls,kitten,dogs,goats,and other things thread.

    Hope, I'm making sense :) sassy
