Great pictures, Karen! The water looks so refreshing. May you have a fabulous school year!
This afternoon we went back to Auntie's house to continue going through things. We've gotten through the easy part. Now we have to decide what to keep, what else to give away, and what to try to sell. Found a combination salt and pepper shaker that sells on the internet between $140 and $240 or so. And she had 2 of them! That's the kind of things we definitely will not be giving away.
No formal exercise today.

Day two done - one boring 2 hour training and one great 1.75 hour training. Both on zoom. This morning 4 hour SW/SP department meeting. It is zoom. My manager had hoped it would be in person, but she could not find a space, but next month in person. Zoom is so much harder.
Yesterday afternoon we had a funeral for a friend's son. It was soooo hard. He would have turned 44 in 2 weeks. I can't even fathom the pain the parents are in.
We've had rain for the past couple days - well needed. I think it is gone for the next couple days then will be back.
Have a great Wednesday.

I am so sorry about your friend's son, Karen. Our local community just lost two wonderful young women to illness. Both of whom had so much left to give to the world. Beyond tragic.
We need a little rain; it has been dry, dry, dry.

Karen: I'm so sorry to hear about your friend's son. I'm sure your friend was grateful you were at the funeral.
Ruth: Have a fun weekend!
Walked/ran yesterday. This afternoon I picked these ornamental gourds that have been growing between the house and driveway. I haven't counted them but my guess is 80 or more are in the baskets. Plus there are 30 additional ones still growing. Plan to use them as table decorations for dd's wedding. These gourds are from 2 tiny volunteer plants that grew and grew this spring! They grew in the same area last year along with a volunteer pumpkin plant. Only had 40 gourds then. These all came from a few gourds I bought 4 years ago. They eventually ended in the compost. We used the compost and Voila! we have gourds everywhere!

I washed and counted the gourds. 102 of them. 30+ still in the yard. They will add a nice fall touch along with the flowers at the wedding.
I have 2 more weeks of kitty sitting my friend's little blind kitten. She loves to play and run all over the room, climb on the couch and her scratching pole. She doesn't like me to hold her and I think that's a good thing. She doesn't need to bond with me. I have little scratches and teeth marks all over my hands and arms when I do hold her.
Walked this morning with a friend. Afterwards we sat and talked for an hour or so.

That's a lot of gourds, Wonderland! We had a fun weekend at a resort in Minnesota with our friends. I walked for awhile when we got there Friday & with my friend yesterday morning. I did a 45 minute toning DVD when I got home this afternoon.

Today was the first day of workshops for teachers. We have quite a few retired teachers in my morning exercise classes, so my fitness center had a 'No School For Us Dance Party!'. Very fun! (6 of us in the picture are retired teachers.)

Glad you have a fun weekend, Ruth.
I walked this morning. 71 degrees but dew point was also 71. Not refreshing to say the least.
(I dislike how BCO is now. So many people have left. I enjoy coming here at the end of the day. Miss all those who aren't here anymore.)

Me too, Wonderland!
Dog walk, Barre Sculpt & Zumba today.

The little blind kitten I'm babysitting is so cute! She knows our den well. Likes to climb all over me. My male cat Salem just had to meet her. I wasn't going to let them meet but he couldn't take it any longer. They don't play long before Salem leaves the room. He is very gentle with her, considering that she climbs and bites all over him.
Walked/kinda ran this evening.

It's surprising how nicely some bigger animals play with the little ones. Bruno is very good with puppies, which is a great relief to me!
My Wednesday Walking group celebrated its 10th Anniversary (I came in on year two). We walked in the park where the Founders took their first walk, ate cake, and drank sparkling cider!

Fabulous picture, Ruth! I remember when you joined the group. How wonderful that it's still strong after all these years!
Pushed mowed today for 90 minutes. About 30 minutes at a time with lonnngggg breaks inbetween. My hair is soaked! Dh finished the yard.
Here is a picture of Iris Ann. She loves the sun. Turns her face towards it and slow paws the air as if trying to feel it with her paw. She is precious.

Such a sweetheart. You will have a hard time giving her back, Wonderland.
Pound in a few minutes, Dance2fit tonight. I have to clean my house & tackle a pile of correspondence & bills in between the classes & track down DS to fix a technical problem on my phone!

I've had the kitten for 2 weeks now and 1 more week to go. I had to go to the doctor today to get an antibiotic bc the scratches and bites were not healing on the arm on my mx side. I'm left handed and my mx was my left breast. Also had a ton of lymph nodes removed. My forearm looks bad but the antibiotic should clear it up. I've never had visual LE swelling but I've experienced heaviness, soreness, etc many times on that side. Always do what I've learned on this site to help alleviate the symptoms.
I still love little Iris Ann. She's just a kitten.

Wonder - glad you got the antibiotics
Today is my "Friday" at work. Finished week 1 with students. I have a few challenging kiddos. It will be a fun few months while finishing this FMLA. The school is great and I will miss it come November when I'm done.
Have a great evening

Also glad you got those antibiotics, Wonderland!

Wonderland I too suffer from some lymphedema and I think you were smart to get the antibiotics for your arm. I am enjoying reading about little Iris Ann. She is such a pretty kitty. I do think you will miss her but what a fun experience to see how she navigates her world.
I walked for an hour with DH tonight and it felt good. I line danced 10 days at the state fair and I was really wiped out from all the walking and dancing as the weather was very hot and humid most days. But it was sure fun. But three days of rest and it was time to get back to walking and riding my bike. The change up in my exercise routine for the fair was a nice break from the daily cardio.

Line dancing at a fair sounds very fun, coffeelatte. Worth being tired out afterwards!
DH, I & Bruno did some fun hiking today.

Ruth - love the picture of Bruno in the water
Petite - ya for good news.
Lattee - I've never lined danced - I"m not a good dancer of any kind.
I know I'm missing many, but with the new page, I don't remember what I read.
Have a great week-end

I went to Yoga Strength yesterday morning & will do a Reset Yoga tonight. It is a rainy day (which is good, we really need some moisture so I danced around to Marshall Fitness on Utube for awhile.

I donated blood this morning and I've been exhausted all day. Struggled to stay awake after dinner - now I'm wide awake.
I've been much more tried since the school years started back. Don't remember being so tired in years past. Still managed 2 walks today (13K steps)Looking forward to the long week-end. We are going to the mountains for our 45th wedding anniversary to do some hiking.
Have a great week.

Happy Anniversary this coming weekend, Karen. 45 years is amazing!
I have not been walking. Hot August Days make me miserable so I'm lying low. Little Iris Ann will be going home either Wednesday or Thursday this week. My arm is healing but looks a mess. She fell asleep on my lap this evening and it was so relaxing for me.

Happy Anniversary, Karen & DH!!!
Yikes on the arm, Wonderland & Boo on your weather!
I went to Pound yesterday & will do Zumba tonight. I have a haircut this morning & then DH, Bruno & I are going hiking in a nearby State Park. We are having lovely weather so are taking advantage of it while it lasts!

HOT, HOT and HOT with no moisture in sight. In the next week the lowest high is 89F
I'm so tired at the end of the work day.

I know how you feel, Karen. The heat and dew point have been so bad. But, it rained this afternoon and the weatherperson promises that the dew point will be in the 50s as opposed to the high 60s, mid 70s we have been having. Looking forward to walking again.
Found out today that we are keeping Iris Ann until next Tuesday. She's so sweet!
