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"

Ready for a TERRIFIC TUESDAY? What are YOU thankful for ? nt Posted by Krista on 8/19/2025, 7:47 am nt

Tuesday Thankfulness Posted by Delta on 8/19/2025, 5:36 pm, in reply to "Ready for a TERRIFIC TUESDAY? What are YOU thankful for ? nt" Our oldest grandson moved to the Gulf Coast today. It is sad, but I am grateful that they made it there safely with no problems. So grateful. Poppy's littermate/look-alike is visiting today. She is loving it. I keep debating whether to get another dog because she loves to play so much, but she is also jealous of our affection, and I am afraid that I will get one that is not as easy as Poppy. We looked at two houses yesterday, and both are real contenders. Now we just have to decide which one we want, and she has us scheduled to look at one in a new 55+ community that she thinks may make us change our minds. At least we are getting somewhere. My husband sold his heavy-duty work truck today. I have wanted him to sell it since he got his new one, but he couldn't turn it loose. He never used it, but he said, "might need to." One more, even bigger truck, and the fleet will be gone. Yay! Almost time for school to be out, and I will get to spend the rest of the day/night with our granddaughter. It is sometimes hard for older kids to fit into a new family, but even though she was 9 when she came to us, she just fit right into our family, and we enjoy being around her as she has grown into a teenager. I love all my boys, but it is nice to have a sweet girl around sometimes too.

Delta Posted by Beverly on 8/20/2025, 12:44 am, in reply to "Tuesday Thankfulness" I know a couple of people who love the 55 and older ... living places. I am interested in what you think. Good luck... hope you find somethig you like. Do you have a 'timeframe'?

Mine! Posted by Cindyh on 8/19/2025, 11:13 am, in reply to "Ready for a TERRIFIC TUESDAY? What are YOU thankful for ? nt" Getting everything ready to leave for my trip to Wichita Leaving tomorrow AM. Will be a new Grandma Friday She wants me in the c Section with her. I feel so blessed John’s children have not only accepted me so well over all these years but I actually feel bad that they pick me over their Mother for things like this. It makes me feel bad for her though. I can’t imagine having such a poor relationship with your children. I get to meet Cindy!! So excited. And Baby All of you!!

(no subject) Posted by Beverly on 8/20/2025, 10:16 am, in reply to "Mine!" New grandbaby... it's really a thrill when a new cutie comes into the family. I am SO EXCITED that you will meet Cindy. Murray and I met Paula and Bill years ago and it's been so special to me.

It is so exciting about the new grandbaby! Posted by Delta on 8/19/2025, 3:43 pm, in reply to "Mine!" I know why John's children love you, but it is sad that they don't have a good relationship with their mother. I am so excited for you and Cindy! We really need to meet halfway before I move away.

Oh no Posted by Cindyh on 8/19/2025, 10:16 pm, in reply to "It is so exciting about the new grandbaby!" That’s a deal. I know you’ve bee. Talking about moving but I just assumed the same town. How far are you moving. I didn’t know. And you’re right. It is so sad about their mother

We have been Posted by Delta on 8/20/2025, 12:31 am, in reply to "Oh no" looking in Mississippi. Taxes and crime are both going up constantly in this area.

Well yes we definitely have to then!! Posted by Cindyh on 8/20/2025, 10:20 am, in reply to "We have been " Please let’s not let this opportunity go by

Mine Posted by Paula on 8/19/2025, 8:38 am, in reply to "Ready for a TERRIFIC TUESDAY? What are YOU thankful for ? nt" 5 clients today. Next week, I have 10 total which is edging closer to the 12-15 I want to have as my caseload. Trying to figure out a way (and if I want it badly enough) to spend a day in Granada to visit the Alhambra. I don't believe there is a way to go and return in the same day unless I go on a tour which I'm not crazy about. Cooler temps Back on track Hearing Krista's excitement! Makes my heart happy!

It is good to Posted by Delta on 8/19/2025, 3:41 pm, in reply to "Mine" see that you are working your way back into a full case load. I hope your body is up for it. Word of caution, put a pillow between you and the chair or sit up away from the back of the chair or you will have that bandage sweating all day, which will not bode well. Not trying to be a know-it-all, it is just that this is a good time to use someone else's experience instead of discovering it on your own. You have dealt with enough already. So glad that you are back on track! Good for you! I have taken some tours that I was glad I took, rather than being on my own, because I visited places that weren't on my list as well as the ones that were. However, I have also had some tours that I was very disappointed in. It usually boiled down to how talky the guide was. I always figure that it is six of one and half a dozen of the other if that is the best way to squeeze something in. If you don't find any other way, at least you will get to go and keep to your schedule. My favorite are the self-guided that take you somewhere where there are several places to see, and let you out and give you a time to be back and take you to another place and repeat.

Cinq Choses Pour Moi Posted by Krista on 8/19/2025, 7:58 am, in reply to "Ready for a TERRIFIC TUESDAY? What are YOU thankful for ? nt" 1) just saw a spotted baby deer in the front yard suckling his mom who stood patiently while baby got their fill. The baby's whole body was happily shaking while they fed ♥ 2) heading out to get groceries early to cross that off my list 3) conference call with dietician today at 1:30 to talk about the post-op diet 4) dropping into my doc's office today to pick up my blood test referral (Appt is tomorrow) and hopefully they will have arranged for my ECG to happen. Things move sooooooooooooooooooooooooo slowly in NB - I need things hurried up! 5) airfare and hotel paid in advance and now I'm pecking away at the surgery cost itself. I should not have to go into my retirement funds so I am very happy about that!

I love that you can Posted by Delta on 8/19/2025, 3:30 pm, in reply to "Cinq Choses Pour Moi" see deer in your yard. I am loving the way you sound lately and the excitement is coming through the screen. I was so worried about you. I am so glad that you were able to turn it around!!!! I am also happy that you won't have to go into your retirement funds but also happy that you are spending money on something that you really want and need.

LOVE having my friend back! Posted by Paula on 8/19/2025, 8:33 am, in reply to "Cinq Choses Pour Moi" Sounds like herself again!
