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"

Tuesday gratitudes?? Posted by Cindy on 6/9/2026, 11:39 am Please share!

Tuesday Gratitudes Posted by Delta on 6/9/2026, 11:19 pm, in reply to "Tuesday gratitudes??" We have been getting a lot of rest for the past three days. I didn't realize how tired we were. Got some new glasses today. Doc is trying things to see if it helps me drive again. He says that I am not ready for cataract surgery yet. AC. The heat index was 107F today. My trusty appliances make life easier. All you lovely ladies.

Delta Posted by Beverly on 6/9/2026, 11:30 pm, in reply to "Tuesday Gratitudes" Definitely... get that rest! Catch up. Glad the doctor is trying to get your vision up to driving. HOT!!! Hot in Michigan too.

Beverly Posted by Delta on 6/10/2026, 8:22 pm, in reply to "Delta" I have a lot of relatives in Michigan and have never thought of it as a Hot place. Every time I have been there, it has been very temperate compared to where I left. Even on the 4h of July, we didn't want to be in the water or wet swimsuits for long. To my relatives, the high 70s were very hot because most people didn't have air conditioners or only had them in the bedrooms, and even a lot of public places didn't have AC or at least didn't turn it on except for a bit in August. I haven't been back in several years and have heard that it has been getting very hot for long periods of time. Everyone had to get AC.

My five… Posted by Cindy on 6/9/2026, 10:03 pm, in reply to "Tuesday gratitudes??" 1. Kim butt dialed me twice today! Made us both laugh and we had a nice little conversation in the middle of the day! 2. Adam found a new used car to buy. He’s been looking for quite some time. Glad he found one and pray it’s reliable. 3. Walks with Ken in the evening. We have been walking to the end of the block and back. It’s only 3 houses but it’s a start! 4. Tomorrow we have to attend our Strategic Planning meeting. We do this every 3 years at work. Usually boring-but the gratitude is that this time tomorrow it will be over for another three years! 5. The fun Cindyh is having on vacation!

Cindy Posted by Cindyh on 6/10/2026, 12:52 am, in reply to "My five…" What kind of car did Adam find. Just curious. We might be looking soon. Thank you for including me! I’ve been thinking of you and Ken and wondering if he’s doing better and more active now. This says maybe yes!

Cindy Posted by Beverly on 6/9/2026, 11:26 pm, in reply to "My five…" Nice to hear Ken can take small walks. I love hearing it.😊🙂😀 The countdown begins!!!!

I am so glad Posted by Delta on 6/9/2026, 10:57 pm, in reply to "My five…" to hear that Ken is starting to walk with you again. It may be three houses now but I'll bet it will grow as time goes on one house at a time.

Mine Posted by Cindyh on 6/9/2026, 6:34 pm, in reply to "Tuesday gratitudes??" That I am in good enough health to go on vacations We went to Destin to the state park today. It was very nice. Of course I don’t get in the water but enjoyed watching the children. I love the Atlantic coast, Daytona Area ( N and South of there ) We love St Augustine. John was born in Jacksonville. In Georgia, we LOVE Tybee island and Savannah. It’s historic and beautiful. We love South Carolina but have only taken the kids one time years ago. Charleston was so beautiful. The history the houses with actual flames for lights on their homes! Loved it. I’m grateful to see all I have and have the family I do My feet are very swollen today. We are drinking coffee at Panera ( iced) and I will go back and take a lasix. I rarely have to but something about traveling seems to mess with my system. Sorry for rambling on. Thank you to all of you sweet friends

I am glad that you are enjoying yourself Posted by Delta on 6/9/2026, 10:55 pm, in reply to "Mine" I retain fluid when I travel too. Doc says it is probably lymphatic fluid. Massage your feet, ankles and calves. I hope that you get rid of it tonight and are able to rest. You are talking about some of my favorite places. Love going to Destin. We used to love the Gulf Shores/Fort Morgan area but the last few years, the laid-back atmosphere has changed with all the new rental condos so we moved on down to Florida. Even our grandkids love Savanah and Charleston, and that is really something for an area that doesn't have an amusement park. They were not as happy with Tybee Island, so we haven't been back. In its defense, they had just experienced a big flood, so a lot of the areas were off limits when we were there.

I see what Posted by Cindyh on 6/10/2026, 12:49 am, in reply to "I am glad that you are enjoying yourself" You mean about all the new condos. Everything is so crowded. I knew Tybee / Savannah flooded. So sad. We were at Tybee 3 years ago and had a great time. Have you ever seen driftwood beach? We love it, John and I. I wish I was close. I’d love to see it again. I think he feels like I do. This is a nice vacation with the kids but longing for the Atlantic side. He wants me to look for somewhere for next year. Yes already. I said slow down, we’re still here!

No, I have Posted by Delta on 6/10/2026, 8:16 pm, in reply to "I see what" never been to driftwood beach. It sounds delightful, though. I love the Atlantic side, but I am a big fan of the Gulf's crystal clear waters, at least what they used to be. My oldest grandson has always loved the Gulf area, too. He and his wife were transferred to Mobile and were tickled to move there. Their plan was to spend days off on the beaches. The trouble is that they became discouraged with the beaches soon after moving there. He said they had to keep going further and further away to get away from seaweed, sharks close to the beaches, algae, jellyfish swarms, biting/stinging things of all kinds, and other invasions that took away from the pleasure he had always associated with the area. The luster wore off soon when he could live there, but I think I would love it to just look out over the bay or the Gulf every day, all day, from a big window. It is so soothing to me and the salt air clears out our sinuses We love St Augustine. We also liked Amelia Island a lot, but I think we only took a day trip there on the way home from St. Augustine once and don't know if it would be enough for a whole vacation, though there was a lot to do there that we didn't get to do. I don't know if it would have been enough for days and days or not.

Cindyh Posted by Beverly on 6/9/2026, 7:25 pm, in reply to "Mine" I am so glad you feel like you can now take vacations. YAY I love hearing about all the places you went to and all the place you've been. Sorry about the swollen feet. Glad you know what to do. I love your rambling!!! You are a sweet friend as well.
