I sent Karen a PM & she got back to me that she is okay. I know she was starting a new assignment, so maybe just super busy.
Hope you can get your hip to cooperate, coffee! Although I know several people who've had hip replacement and feel better than they have in years. So at least there are options.
I went to Zumba this morning. Shopped and went on a dog walk. I am hosting Thanksgiving but don't want to start cleaning the house until at least tomorrow or it will just be dirty again by Thursday!

Ruth: Don't blame you for waiting to clean. Hope you don't have to cook everything AND clean.
Went Thanksgiving grocery shopping today. Many many years ago I went the night before Thanksgiving and made a promise to myself to never do it again. It's freaking crazy busy!
Walked/ran this afternoon.

Chipped ice, bought more groceries, dusted, am washing clothes & will go to Zumba & Yoga tonight. Our weather is cooperating quite nicely for the holiday!

Wonderland - Agree with you about those we have "lost" due to the glitches with the new platform. I stayed away quite awhile as well. Hope more return.
Did my usual mix of Silver Sneakers classes yesterday and today. Cancer Support class (mix of yoga/pilates) on Monday, but nothing else on offer this week due to Thanksgiving "closure".
All set with groceries for the "feast" on Thursday (just the two of us, so pretty easy). Picked up the last item needed, a large organic baguette for the dressing on Sunday. Temp expected to be 60 on Thursday.

The picture is the Wednesday Walking Women this morning. Right now I'm cleaning the house and defrosting a turkey in the sink. Why is it that no matter how early I put ithe bird in the fridge, it still needs the cold water in the sink time?
Happy Almost Thanksgiving! I am very thankful for all of you! This thread has been so helpful to me that I hope we can keep it limping along until when/if they actually get something more user friendly in place. Maybe then some of our old friends will return and new people will join us. Time will tell.

Walked/ran this afternoon.

Happy Thanksgiving all.
Very grateful for all of you! ... and grateful for another thanksgiving with my now 87.5 y.o. mother...
It was an amazing 61 degrees here today...very happy after the really cold trip I had to DC last week.
When I saw that picture of the snow when I was catching up, my heart dropped, WOW.
Again, Happy Thanksgiving all.

Hope everyone had a nice Thanksgiving. We had a very nice day with lots of food & fun. By the time everything was cleaned up & back in place, I was tired!!! It is forecasted to be 42 & sunny today (which is very nice for North Dakota in late November), so a long dog walk will be in order. I like to put up my Christmas decorations right after Thanksgiving, so that is on the 'to do' list. I don't like shopping in crowds so will stay OUT of the stores!

Hope everyone is having a nice weekend! I did a toning DVD yesterday & hope to get to Yoga today. My Christmas decorating is done! Yea!

TG was a sunny, 63 degree day. Our meal turned out really nice - was able to use some surviving fresh herbs from the garden (rosemary, thyme and sage).
No exercise on TG. Did Silver Sneakers zoom classes yesterday and today. Zumba Gold, Cardio, Yoga on Sat and Classic, Fusion (Pilates/Barre/Yoga combo) and Cardio today.

Celiac: Your Thanksgiving Dinner looks delicious!
Ruth: I hope to start putting out Christmas decorations tomorrow.
Unlike ya'll, I have NOT been active since the day before Thanksgiving. Ate a huge Thanksgiving Dinner with 10 family members. Friday was a lazy day visiting with ds, dd. That night we went to a Light Festival that a local church puts on. The lights are all in the woods and there's also an outside Christmas village. Church members even performed the play "Frozen" in the village. It's so pretty and a great way to start the holiday fun.
Today is dh's birthday but we celebrated yesterday bc ds had to go home later on Saturday. Another huge meal with cake!
I tried to walk today but gave up bc it's windy and gusty making it hard to walk. Plus I don't want any tree parts to fall on me. Tonight we will finish the cake and tomorrow I will walk!
(the red on dd's face is from the lights)

What a fun Christmas Village! Our town always has a Razzle Dazzle Parade Saturday evening after Thanksgiving. I felt too tired to go; but after seeing the pictures from it, I wish I had gone!
Zumba this morning and then started Christmas shopping. I like to do it early to avoid the last minute rush AND so I don't have so much to do if/when the weather gets bad!

I've been Christmas shopping for me lol. The deals are really good. My Fitbit broke where the band connects to the watch. Tried gluing but that didn't work. Looked up online and other people have had the same problem. It is now useless. Sooooo, I picked up my new Apple Watch today! Really like that it can do an ECG since I have A Fib. Also had to buy a new laptop. Mine is 6 years old and lately it has been doing some crazy things and has a mind of its own. I don't need anything big and special in a laptop so I bought a simple one. Merry Christmas to me!
Still need to get my outside Christmas lights out.
Walked/ran today.

Good Grief! The Apple Watch I bought doesn't work with my old Apple iphone. Not sure if I'll return the watch or upgrade my phone. I have an Apple 7 phone so I'm several generations behind lol. It still works fine so I'm not sure what I'll do.
Dh and I rang the Salvation Army bell today for 2 hours. It's getting harder and harder for me to stand in one place with little movement for any length of time. Ugh. My body felt all "locked up."
Came home and walked/ran. That helped!

Yikes on the phone/watch compatibility problems. Always something!
The wind is bitterly cold here & it is a nasty day. I went to Pound this morning & am off to Dance2fit in a few minutes. Shopped, shopped, shopped the rest of the morning & most of the afternoon. I have now been on my computer donating to some charities in my siblings names. We decided to do that instead of giving each other Christmas presents this year & it's Giving Tuesday which means donations are matched or even tripled with some charities!

The icy winds, with a 12 below windchill, puts WWW in a Grinch-like mood!

Pound this morning & Dance2fit tonight.

As always, great picture of WWW.
I have the outside decorations out and most of the inside decorations are in place. Will finish with the inside tomorrow. Next week I’ll buy a tree and decorate it by the end of the week. When I was growing up we decorated our tree Christmas Eve night. When my mom was growing up Santa brought in the decorated tree and they didn’t see it until Christmas morning. A Christmas tree in the house is so peaceful no matter when you decorate it.
Met a friend today for a walk.

When my dad was little, they still put candles on the tree. They had a sliding door between the living room and front parlor that was closed until Christmas Eve. When it was time, the door would be opened revealing the candle-lit tree. Before they opened Christmas presetns. they would march in a circle around the singing "I am so glad each Christmas Eve' in Norwegian. (My grandfather immigrated from Norway as a young adult & his family had that tradition from 'the old country'.)

Yesterday was cold, snowy, blowy. Did my errands in the morning so I could stay put the rest of the day. Did a 30 minute cardio dance DVD. My yoga class was cancelled this morning so I will have to do some sort of toning on my own again today.

Can you imagine lighting candles on your tree today?!?! It would be crazy! But how cool that your father grew up doing that.
I haven't done any formal exercise yesterday or today. Yesterday I finished putting up the inside decorations. Just had a few left. Today I met dd for coffee and then we went to the Holiday Market at the last Farmers Market scheduled for this year. I bought some Reindeer Energy Food (for humans - Salty and sweet mixture). Ate that while sitting on my tail reading a book. I've convinced myself I must have needed it on the rainy day we're having.
Ruth: I get a chill just reading about the weather you're having!

Didn't feel like walking outside so I walked in the house. I do that sometimes when the weather is unfavorable. Now I need to do somethings I have been putting off. I've been The Queen of Procrastination lately. Which isn't a good thing but occasionally happens.

It was sunny and 36 degrees here (which is nice for here). We took advantage of it with a long walk. I also did a yoga DVD

Zumba, coffee with a friend, and tons of errands. I really think I am done with the shopping part of Christmas 'stuff'.

Sweet Bruno picture!
Went to our Christmas Parade tonight. We were standing near the beginning it. You wouldn’t believe all the candy that was thrown out to the crowd! I stood with my friend who has a 4 year old. He had a plastic grocery bag full of the candy. He had to start on a second bag. This picture shows all the candy near us that was not picked up. I guess the kids didn’t have any more space to store more candy.

It's raining candy! Poor teachers who had to deal with all the sugared-uo kids today!!
It was snowing like crazy when I got up. I usually don't let weather interfere with my plans, but I just couldn't make myself go out in it to my 8:00 Pound class, so I canceled out & wrote Christmas cards instead. I will go to Zumba & Yoga tonight.

I would have cancelled also!
It's been foggy, drizzle, some rain today. I drove over an hour to met with friends who I grew up with for lunch. Two couldn't attend so there were only 6 of us. We met at one of my friend's house.
One of my friends lives in the Moore County, NC where 2 utility substations were intentionally attacked on Saturday. The substations were damaged by gunfire. So far no one has taken responsibility for it and there's lots of fear of what can happen next. Everyone has been without power. A curfew has been set and no one can go out between 9pm and 5am. Luckily my friend and dh have been staying with her sister who has a generator. My friend has horses (the area is horse country) and they haven't been able to get water to them bc they are on a well. I missed the conversation on how she's watering the horses. As you can imagine, there are lots of conversations going on at once. My friend feels like she lives in a war zone.

After walking this morning, the Wednesday Women had our White Elephant Gift Exchange.

That's a nice size group to do a White Elephant gift exchange. I bet it was fun. Hope you got a nice gift and not a White Elephant.
My friend's power came back on yesterday, thank goodness. There was another substation shot at in South Carolina but power started on. SICK PEOPLE!
It's been so dreary here for several days. Today I didn't even need a coat. I have the lights on my Christmas tree and will finish with the ornaments later. The lights help to light up the dreariness.
