TT: Hope you can find something that will work with your schedule.
Ruth: Won't be long now!
No exercise today. Dh and I went to Walgreens for our flu and covid vaccines. Decided to get them together and not have to go back. So far all is good.
I painted 2 more pumpkins. My brother designs and makes kites for our trips to the beach so I painted a Halloween beach scene for him. It's hard to see bc of the curve in the pumpkin but there is a "seabat" flying in the sun.
The cat is supposed to be in front of a blood moon. Think the moon got a little too bloody lol.

Very cute, Wonderland!
Here's the Wednesday Walking Women picture. I will probably stay off the computer for the rest of the week since I will be concentrating on 'wedding stuff'. In fact, I better get off right now! My first guests roll in tomorrow!!

Ruth - enjoy your company and have a wonderful wedding. Look forward to seeing photos. Congrats to the whole family on such a joyous occasion

Thank you! It's 9:00pm and I just sat down. I think I'm at the 'lets get the show on the road' phase as I am tired of getting ready! My first guests roll in tomorrow.

Happy Days ahead Ruth. Enjoy every minute! It has been a long time coming.
Got to Tai Chi yesterday…the teacher wanted to know if I was "mad" with him given all the classes I had missed…after nearly a year without a miss, I am now a constant every other week person, ugh! Oh well, happy I got there, even though it meant coming back to school and being here until nearly 7pm yesterday,
Love the pumpkins Wonderland…it is a full moon on Friday! TT

Ruth: Have a fabulous weekend and try not to cry too much at the wedding!
TT: Your teacher misses you! Glad you are able to go at least every other week.
Walked this evening. It's definitely getting cooler. What a relief.
Speaking of a full moon, I altered the blood moon pumpkin to make it look more moony. Finished painting 10 pumpkins. Thanks for letting me share some of them with you.

Happy October everyone.
Hope your DS's day/weekend was all you had hoped for Ruth, at least the weather looked to be cooperating in your area of the country.
Got to the gym yesterday and will be going to a yin yoga class at lunchtime. My left knee keeps getting annoyed and swollen…need to figure out what is going on there.
After 10+ days of dearly cloudy/no sun days, the sun has finally returned to Virginia! And even though it is October, today's high is supposed to hit 80…a week of high 70's await, just perfect.
Have a great start to the week, TT

We had a wonderful wedding weekend. Everything was beautiful, meaningful, and very fun. I got my exercise by helping to set up & take down. Dancing the night away at the Wedding Dance, and hosting company (mostly outside which means lots of running up & down Pati steps. I am going to a Pound Glow charity event from 7:30-9:00 tonight. We will get glow sticks and do the class in the dark at a baseball stadium. Should be fun!
Here's a picture of DS & his beautiful bride.

Ruth - love radiates in this photo. Was the wedding in your yard?

No. There was an old abandoned summer camp on the edge of town right on the river. I used to walk the dogs there and always thought someone should buy it and make it into a wedding venue....and somebody did! It's a beautiful setting!

Oh Ruth, that picture is beautiful! You can feel their Love just looking at it. So happy for all of you!
And her bouquet is gorgeous! You have mentioned that her mother has a flower shop. Did she make it? So pretty!

Yes, DIL (how fun to say that!), her mom & a good friend made all the bouquets, boutonnieres, flowers for the tables, an arch they were married under, and other decorations themselves. Saving tons of money & they could not have been nicer

How lovely, thanks for sharing!
Will walk to our city hall at my lunch time to pay the water bill and get some exercise…busy time right now, so planned to "double dip" by walking my way around town while doing errands. TT

Here's the Wednesday Walking Women. We walked at a Pumpkin Patch run by the Shriners (hence the clown) which raises money for their Children's Hospitals.

Ruth: That flower arch is AMAZING!!! Just AMAZING!!! Love the Welcome sign. The ladies did a fabulous job!
(The clown is hilarious!)
TT: How is your knee?
Walked yesterday and over the weekend. On Saturday I'm going to Hilton Head for the week with my 2 sisters and SIL. My sister has a timeshare there and this is her week. This will be my 3rd time going with them.

Wow Ruth, that photo looks like a turn to cooler/cold weather…definitely Fall, but beautiful and fun. We have been having some really nice days here, mornings cool 57/58, afternoons a pleasant mid/upper 70's…ideal.
Next week is combined Columbus Day/Indigenous Peoples Day and Fall Break at my school, so we have a house in the NC Outer Banks for the week (Duck). While I will have Monday and Thursday/Friday, I will leave the family at the beach and return crack of dawn on Tuesday to teach Tuesday/Wednesday returning late Wednesday…I have been doing this for years, but these kinds of weeks make retirement even more attractive — just stay at the beach!
Enjoy your time at Hilton Head, I've only been there once but was really impressed with the wide hardpacked beaches that were perfect for walking.
My knee is still having a mind of its own…it is either swollen and "stuck" feeling…or "collapses"/gives out. Ugh.

Lucky Ladies at the Beach!
TT, the thing I like the best about retirement is the flexibility! (The lack of paperwork is the thing I like the second best.)
I went to Pound this morning & I plan to go back to Dance2fit & Yoga tonight. My very dear aunt (and the last relative on either side of the family from that generation), has passed away & her funeral (in Wisconsin) is on Sunday……so we will be on the road this weekend. Yikes, I wouldn't have time to work right now!!

Got my flu and Covid vaccines yesterday after work. My arm is so sore - it hurts to move. Didn't feel great last night. Will see how today goes. Getting my RSV on Tuesday after work.
Wonder - have fun!

Good for you Karen to get the vaccines…despite the 24-48 side effects they seem to have. Here in SE Virginia we don't yet have a reliable supply of COVID vaccines, hopefully in the next couple of weeks whatever distribution problem that is happening will be sorted out. I will be attending a conference in Atlanta in November, so flights and a big conference (1000+ people)…want to get my shots 2 weeks ahead at the minimum so I am all boosted up!
Take care on your travels Ruth, funerals are so full of family…joys and heartbreak. My mother became the last of her generation 5 years ago last week…we did some reminiscing of the good ole days of the 60's - 80's…lots of golf and cocktails 😉

I have to get the flu & Covid shots set up after I get back from Wisconsin. I'm not as brave as you to do them all at once, Karen. I like to space mine out a little.
It is COLD & WINDY here. I have a whole garbage can of branches that I have blown off my trees. And since we are in a freeze warning for tonight, I am sad to say that they will be soon joined by dead annuals. I will do a toning DVD & maybe an indoor walking one too.

TT: Have fun at the Outer Banks!
Ruth: I am so sorry about your dear aunt. You have been a good niece to her and love her so much.
Karen: Hope your arm stops hurting soon. My arm was just a little sore after getting both shots last week. No other reaction. Dh, on the other hand, woke up in the middle of the night with chills and full on sweat. He had to put on a coat before getting back in bed.
Just a short note tonight. Walked yesterday and today. Been getting ready for my to my trip tomorrow to Hilton Head.

Aargh, at the beach house and my post was eaten by the bad internet, ugh.
Too tired to retype everything, hope all are well, made it here just before sunset, yeah, hate to drive in the dark.
Exercise was the packing and unpacking…with the reverse floorplan houses at the beach, the house is on stilts, the first floor one staircase up are bedrooms and the top floor has the kitchen, living room, so most of the stuff you bring goes up to the "third floor"…best part is we are oceanfront.
Karen, hope your daughter is safe. Prayers all around.
Going to post before I lose this…TT

TT - Thanks for asking. My daughter is still here with us. She was supposed to fly home on Tuesday the 10th but got an email today that her flight is canceled. She is rebooked on the 16th. A week is a long time so anything can happen with getting home. She knows that right now its safer here but it is also hard hearing everything long distance. A lot of her friends have been called up for reserved duty.
Wonder - my arm is not as sore.
DH had a reaction to the RSV vaccine - two days of not feeling good - tonight finally he is begining to feel human. Yesterday he stayed in bed most of the day. I get mine Tuesday after work and hoping I don't have much of a reaction beyond sore arm.
Ruth - sorry to hear about your aunt. Hope your memories bring you comfort.
Wonder - have a fun girls week.

Catching up on posts since August.
Karen-so glad to see you here. Sorry you have to wait so long for test results. Sending prayers and good thoughts your way. When I saw the news coverage from Israel it made me think of your DD. I am glad she is home safe with you.
Ruth- the pictures of the wedding are gorgeous! So sorry for the loss of your relative.
Wonderland- I always love seeing your art. You’re so talented!
TT- I have my sights set on retirement in a couple of years. Looking forward to vacations while school is in session.

I'm glad DD is still home, Karen. What horrible and frightening time for all.
We are on the road coming home. My aunt was an amazing and wonderful woman who lived to the age of 89 while still being totally involved with life. Her kids gave her an amazing send-off so it was more beautiful than sad. Her memory will be a blessing and a challenge to REALLY live while you are alive.
My brother and I walked for an hour before we left this morning. I may, or may not, go to Pound tonight.

Good to hear from you, Ginger! Hope things are going well with you.
Karen: So glad that your dd is home with you. I also thought of her and your family when the attacks started. How frightening.
TT: Have fun at the Outer Banks.
Ruth: So sorry about your aunt. She sounds like an amazing person.
Having a good time in Hilton Head. The weather has been fabulous but all that will change on Thursday when rain comes in.
Been doing lots of beach walking. This afternoon we walked through a forest preserve.

Ruth - sorry about your aunt - but hope your memories will continue to bring you comfort.
This is a response to a friend regarding my daughter and the horrific situation in Israel. We are doing okay. Miriam has been in Denver since just before Rosh Hashanna. Between Rosh Hashanna and Yom Kippur she went to Toronto to see her sister and meet her niece and has been back in Denver since. She was supposed to fly back to Israel tomorrow but her flight was cancelled so she rebooked for next Monday on Delta. Well Delta has cancelled all flights through October 31st. So she just book a flight to go back to Israel on El-Al next Tuesday. Right now Craig and I are okay. Once she goes back we'll see how we do - it will depend on the situation. But right now it's horrific. Many of her friends in the IDF reserves have been called up. She really wants to be home - she knows she is safer here but wants to be home with her friends and community. It is hard being here hearing second hand about is going on. If her roommates aren't in the apartment, she will stay with friends. Will keep you posted

What a horrific and heart wrenching situation for all. I can completely understand her desire to be with the community of friends during this time; but as a mom, I know it has to be very hard for you to see her go. Hugs to you all.
I went to Pound this morning & am trying to get re-organized around here after a pretty crazy month.

We had a smaller group than usual for the Wednesday Walking Women, but took a very nice hike on a nature trail. It's so nice out that I ended up taking a second walk with DH & Bruno this afternoon.
