The easiest way to avoid regrets is to ask yourself this question, "If not now, when?" It's a powerful way to put life and our decisions about how we spend our time into perspective"

Friday Grats! Don't like it when we have no grats Posted by Paula on 5/16/2025, 5:06 pm H

My five…. Posted by Cindy on 5/17/2025, 12:53 am, in reply to "Friday Grats! Don't like it when we have no grats" 1. We are putting in all new windows and got a new front door and storm door too! So glad that we are able to afford to finally get them. I am also thankful that the guy that put in my barn doors downstairs that I got through Home Depot has a Windows, blinds and door company of his own and told me that he could save me a lot of money putting them in over what Home Depot would charge me. When he gave us his quote we were very pleased with what he is charging. 2. Ken’s military discount at both Lowe’s and Home Depot! That saved us a lot too!! 3. It’s so fun to slowly be updating our house! Next up will be my kitchen!!! Can’t wait. 4. A very productive day at work! Love that! 5. Having enough. So very grateful!

Me Posted by Beverly on 5/17/2025, 12:38 am, in reply to "Friday Grats! Don't like it when we have no grats" We avoided the tornadoes last night. Lot's of wind and lights blinking on and off! Places near us were hit with the tornadoes. Some places won't get power til next week. Grateful we didn't deal have the worst effects. Planting the garden with Murray. He is doing pretty good considering his bad lungs. Mike and kids are coming over to help. PT is helping. Grateful for ice and heat on aching body parts. You wonderful ladies. I love you all!!

Love you too, Beverly…. Posted by Cindy on 5/17/2025, 12:43 am, in reply to "Me" How I wish I could give you a big hug!! So glad you avoided the tornadoes too. What all are you putting in your garden? Glad Murray is feeling up to planting it with you and that the kids are helping. Yay for PT and ice and heat to help make you feel better!!

Tornadoes everywhere Posted by Cindyh on 5/16/2025, 7:59 pm, in reply to "Friday Grats! Don't like it when we have no grats" Well. We made it though round one of tornadoes. Boy did we get lucky! We had one warning. Major damage as close as 9 miles from our house. There is one subdivision with several people trapped and many homes leveled. Southeast MO was hit hard today. And they expect another line soon. I don’t think they are near Delta but I’m not positive. Graduation was wonderful. 338 graduated. It was so nice. She got the Top 30 distinction for graduating #13 in her class. Also Beta +. And there was one more I’ll post the pictures I could get. I got a good video too

Glad you … Posted by Cindy on 5/17/2025, 12:36 am, in reply to "Tornadoes everywhere " Made it through that first round of tornadoes. Stay safe! Loved the graduation pics you posted above. I know you are proud of that little girl!

I sure am Cindy Posted by Cindyh on 5/17/2025, 3:38 pm, in reply to "Glad you …" She has studied hard. Shes been doing college classes as well.

Wonderful Krista! Posted by Cindyh on 5/16/2025, 7:49 pm, in reply to "Cinq Choses Pour Moi" So happy to hear his surgery is scheduled! And you’re IN THE POOL!! How fun! I know how many times I’ve read how handy Ray is. How lucky! I’m lucky John can do some things but nothing like that

Mine Posted by Paula on 5/16/2025, 5:16 pm, in reply to "Friday Grats! Don't like it when we have no grats" Surgeon's office requested an emergency appeal. 72 hours to respond. Sudoku Trying to walk some so, after surgery, I can do sit to stand without bending forward. I've been walking about, .4 or .5 mile a few days a week. Doesn't sound like much more, but I did .6 this morning and my back is killing me. I told myself to work on frequency, not distance but when do I ever listen to myself! It's hard to think of grats today because I'm ruminating on the surgery but, I know I am more fortunate than, probably, 85% of the people in the world. Oh, just thought of one. Making crab cakes for dinner. They're in the fridge, firming up.

Love reading… Posted by Cindy on 5/17/2025, 12:34 am, in reply to "Mine" That they have put in for an emergency appeal! Love that you are working on walking. Ken’s back and legs (calves) really bother him when we walk and the nurse suggested he take some ibuprofen about 30 minutes before we walk to help him stay ahead of the pain. Maybe you could try that too? A little preventative maintenance so to speak! Crab cakes sound delicious! Take a bite for me!

OTC meds don't touch it Posted by Paula on 5/17/2025, 9:56 am, in reply to "Love reading…" I talked him into prescribing Meloxicam. It took the edge off but, after 5 straight days of taking it, my stomach started to burn. Now, if I have a busy day or hurt like I did last night, I take one with a Prilosec.

Great Paula Posted by Cindyh on 5/16/2025, 7:47 pm, in reply to "Mine" Emergency appeal. Sounds like you have a great surgeon. Love it. I walked Wednesday. My back is horrible but I got 1/2 mile. Back in town now and will go tomorrow if we have no tornadoes!! This afternoon has been horrible. We are safe though. Crab cakes sound wonderful!!
