Good Morning! Cloudy and 61 going up to 68 with showers this morning but sunshine expected this afternoon. Yesterday I accomplished my grocery shopping. Today I need to wash some clothes and possibly focus on more purging. Last week I dropped off some donations at the Matthews Help Center. Craig purged an item of clothing last evening so we have already started to fill another box with donations. Craig did something he rarely has done in the 41 years we’ve been married. He was ordered a Valentine’s Day gift for me 💘 It shipped from Tokyo, Japan so I am… Read more »

Oh how exciting Kathy.💝 What fun to have a prettily wrapped gift waiting to be opened, half the fun will be wondering what it is.😍

Good morning, 61 degrees going up to 66 with showers this afternoon. Yesterday was gorgeous, sunny and it went up to 70 degrees. Nothing like jumping from the 20’s – 30’s to 70 degrees! I loved it, was outside all afternoon. I went to get a haircut at the salon I went to here last year. I walked in and the owner was right there and said she could cut my hair. I looked up and saw the woman, Wendy, who had cut my hair last year but I had wished I could get the owner before. She did a… Read more »

Hi Jenn
So happy you like your haircut!!! It is always a little awkward but it is your choice to go to whom you want to….I remember how awkward it was when i was working.

Jenn
February 11, 2026 6:45 am

It is awkward, Wendy was up away in the shop sweeping when I walked in and the owner was right there and she say ‘you have been here before’ and I said I have but had been in Maine for a few months and then had a too short haircut I was growing out. She was really nice and a very skilled hairdresser. I will call and make an appt. with her next time I need a cut. Wendy is older she had talked about retiring last year but she is still there. I never want to hurt anyone for… Read more »

Good morning. Yesterday was cleaning day. Then I cleaned the shower as it was overdue!!! Plus the shower liner was gross so I put the new shower curtain and liner in the shower…Looks good now!!! I hate cleaning the shower, it is SO hard on my back. It was another nice day with a high of 78° so Rick grilled chicken thighs and vegetables for supper. Yesterday a Dove flew into our window, such a loud thud that I got up to see if it was alright, only to see a Hawk flying towards the window and it snatched up the… Read more »

I do not like cleaning showers either. I have started doing it weekly with a Mr. Clean sponge and some spray. I find it much easier to do a light cleaning more often. We have a large shower and the floor is the part that gets ‘mucky’ so keeping that wiped weekly seems to work. I wipe the big glass doors ( no curtain ) with a towel after showering and they do not get all spotty now. How sad about the Dove. Knowing they mate for life is heartbreaking. I hesitated to tell about the little fawn Denny found… Read more »

Oh how sad about the little fawn…nature can be cruel.

Jenn
February 11, 2026 6:48 am

It really upset me, the deer here stay in groups but I see the pine needles all stirred up where they had ‘dug in’ to run from something everywhere I walk. Nature is hard but nothing goes to waste it seems as the hawk ate the Dove and the birds ate the deer. Life cycles.

Good morning.
Beryl, Jenn, Ardyth, Kathy, Lynn, Pam.
Looking out of my window right now I just see Drizzle falling and it is very dark so no sun again today.😏.
It is that day again Pretzel day and my legs just about made ot today.lol.
Flood warnings all around my area but not affecting our bit so lucky to be on high ground.
Local river is as high as I have ever seen all the surrounding fields are just lakes.
Time to get stuck in to that Pretzel now the one good thing of the week.
See you all soon.😀😘.

Hi Ice
I am glad you got your pretzel. Are your legs giving you trouble? Do you still use your bouncie?

February 11, 2026 5:36 am

Hi Ardy.
Lovely Pretzel today baked perfect.
What I am suffering from after reading symptoms is sciatica because I am getting shooting pain down my legs
I use the bouncer occasionally but a floor mounted Deskcycle 2 use most.😀😘

Oh the sciatica is terrible pain from what I hear. Are you taking anything for the pain?

Hi Ardy.
No I do not like taking pain killers as they upset my stomach.
I use some ointment on my knees which helps a bit.🙄

Hi Jenn.
I do grit my teeth these days when I am trying to walk.
It has something to do with the lower spinal disc’s.
One can bulge a bit and put pressure on the Sciatic nerve.
I have just had delivered a device called a PREVALNT
You plug it in and lie with it in thec small of the back and it vibrates and heats up at the same time.
Just going to read the instructions now.😘

Good morning Ice,
I feel so bad for the people who are dealing with the flooding and I am thankful you are on ‘higher ground’ to not have to worry about it.
Spring is not far away now but do you tend to have rainy Springs?
Pretzels do make you feel thirsty!🥛

Hi Jenn.
