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"

Sunday grats... Posted by Joan on 2/15/2026, 9:29 am

Sunday Grats Posted by Delta on 2/16/2026, 12:50 am, in reply to "Sunday grats..." We got so much done this week. We are rather worn out but it is done. Our son and grandson went to get the pontoon boat and the kids' pedal boat yesterday, so now everything is at the new house. Talked to my brother tonight. He is feeling better and so is his daughter. Talked to my mother yesterday and she is feeling better. So much is going around. The joy that Poppy brings to our lives. We didn't want another animal, my husband got mad because I fell in love with her and got her. Now he is totally gaga over her.

Oh fun! Posted by Cindyh on 2/16/2026, 7:16 pm, in reply to "Sunday Grats" I didn’t know you had a pontoon boat! We have friends with one. They are fun. Glad you got it all done

Half the fun Posted by Delta on 2/17/2026, 8:24 pm, in reply to "Oh fun!" Maybe. We have a mini pontoon because the other lake did not allow the full-sized ones. They also did not allow skiing or jet skis. We wanted a bigger pontoon, but have found that this one is so perfect for the two of us that we have decided the kids can get their own full-sized pontoon if they want. We are happy with this one. Poppy likes it too.

I would Posted by Cindyh on 2/18/2026, 9:48 pm, in reply to "Half the fun" Rather have a mini pontoon than a big one. I like the way they look. That’s all we would have needed anyway

My five… Posted by Cindy on 2/15/2026, 12:51 pm, in reply to "Sunday grats..." 1. Sunday mornings. Love my quiet Sunday mornings. 2. A 3 day weekend. Always love getting an extra day off (especially with pay)! 3. Making some lentil soup today to eat this week. I just throw a lot of different veggies in and might add some lean ground beef as I did that last time to add some protein to it and it was really good! 4. Feeing better from this crazy cold that I had. The cough hangs on which is horrible. I think I am feeling better and then I have this coughing fit! Ugh. Still thankful that I didn’t get sicker. There is a lot of nasty crud going around. 5. Puppies that make me laugh. I was trying to sleep in a bit today and Solomon started poking me with his paw like he was trying to tell me it was time to get up! Needless to say he won!

That sounds good Posted by Cindyh on 2/17/2026, 5:57 am, in reply to "My five…" I’ve never put meat in lentil soup. Great idea. What all did you put in? Sounds good

Cindy... Posted by Beverly on 2/15/2026, 5:10 pm, in reply to "My five…" Your soup sounds good and easy and healthy!!!! It's nice to have the three day weekends for sure.! I am so glad to hear you are feeling better!

Mine Posted by Beverly on 2/15/2026, 5:08 pm, in reply to "My five…" Had a good couple days with Aunt Nancy, Max and Maya. We had lunch first with Meghan's parents. Nancy had the Max and Maya busy helping to pack up Murray's clothes for the St. Vincent DePaul thrift shop. She abd Maya took them over there. Max and I waited for AAA to start my battery. The kids helped Nancy put many things in her car she was taking back to Ohio. They helped to clean up my car and the garage. We went bowling. It was much fun. I was cheer squad and comedian while they bowled. We got Doordash from Taco Bell... it took 2 hours and they didn't even have 75% of the order. Got a refund. then, we Got doordash pizza in 15 minutes. Other fun stuff too. The only drawback was that Mikes home was WAY TO COLD. EEK Princess Molly KK was confused with me gone a couple of days. We stopped by each day. BUT.. very happpy I was home last night to sleep. Madame Cuddle... Today has been quiet and nice. 4 sunny days in a row. It got up to 50 degrees here in Michigan yesterday. When Nancy and went to the bread store a man came in with shorts on and a jean jacket. That''s typical Michigan... shorts at 50 degrees. My sister says that when she lived in California all those years, at 50 degrees people put on heavy coats and and wintery attire. LOL You wonderful ladies.

my gratitudes here..... oops Posted by Beverly on 2/15/2026, 5:09 pm, in reply to "Mine"

Mine Posted by Paula on 2/15/2026, 10:09 am, in reply to "Sunday grats..." Making Chicken Gnocchi soup from ST today. Made skow roasted salmon last night. It's so funny to see my bougie dogs drooling over seafood! Changing vets. Have never felt connected to anyone at my current vet's office. Remember during my recovery, one of my former clients said she would come help me? We keep in touch a bit on FB. I asked her for a suggestion of a good clinic. She replied with the name of a well-known clinic and said she is practicing there now! I asked her if it would be weird to see my pets and she said, absolutely not! When she first came to see me, her anxiety was getting in the way of her life. She hadn't even gotten into vet school yet. Lew is falling a lot and having trouble getting back up. It breaks my heart. Bought 2 of the longest runners I've ever seen. 12 feet! One goes from my bedroom to the kitchen; the other from the kitchen to the front door. It was funny watching him walk from ine to the othee, like he knew they were for him! Walking the green carpet! Also moved a couple of my rugs to provide more traction in other areas. My house will never be a show piece. LOL (but my beagle-boy will have help walking!) Took Co for a long walk yesterday. I really wanted to get her to the river but my back pooped out on me. We'll get there sooner or later.

Paula Posted by Cindyh on 2/15/2026, 5:31 pm, in reply to "Mine " Im so very sorry to read about Lew. I hope you find a good vet you connect with. Max was having a lot Of problems last year with his back and rear legs and we got him am Omega supplement that’s I. Treat for and I kid you not in 4-5 weeks he was so much better Then Felecia started her 10 year old dog on the same one and she’s doing better. Took a bit longer. max is 10 also. I am amazed. We told he vet. He said he wish more people would use omega. Please let me know how this Gnochi soup is!! It’s my favorite soup. So yummy

Paula… Posted by Cindy on 2/15/2026, 12:39 pm, in reply to "Mine " Have you seen these dog toe grips to help with keeping senior dogs from slipping? I found these on Amazon and have been thinking about getting them for Maggie as she has trouble with slipping on my floors and wanted something to help her. Love all the healthy dishes you are making! I am making some lentils today! Love them!

I just researched them. Posted by Paula on 2/16/2026, 9:02 am, in reply to "Paula…" I don't think Lew would tolerate them . I.think he (or his doting sister) would gnaw at them. If you get them, let me know how it goes. How old is Maggie now?

Five for me... Posted by Joan on 2/15/2026, 9:31 am, in reply to "Sunday grats..." 1. Sunday - This day belongs to God! Praise the Lord! 2. Lent begins this week, a time of preparation for the glorious feast of Easter. Ash Wednesday is the first day. 3. This is NBA all star weekend. There are events to watch for three days straight. 4. We received out house insurance bill for the year. It went up by $300 to $4600, but there are still some people who can't get house insurance. 5. FSF family and friends! I pray for all of you, your families, your friends in my daily prayers... and thank you for praying for me! Maintenance is a forever endeavor!

I agree… Posted by Cindy on 2/15/2026, 12:41 pm, in reply to "Five for me..." That is a lot for your insurance but thank God you have it! Enjoy the games!

That's a lot! Posted by Paula on 2/15/2026, 9:40 am, in reply to "Five for me..." But thank God you were able to do the repairs that were probably needed to get insurance. I feel for.those who haven't been able to. I can't imagine what that would feel like.
