I hope my US friends had a special weekend. It's time to get back to routine, and I hope that's going smoothly for you. I had an amazing weekend, except when I clotheslined my son who was standing on the tractor I was driving by going under a strand of lights too low for the muffler. He has a broken rib & a severely separated shoulder/torn ACL. Yep, "Grace" strikes again. Someetimes I really am a disaster waiting to happen. May your day be disaster free & your respect for others an endless supply.

Happy Friday, dear friends! Any holiday that causes us to pause to reflect on our service men & women is special. This weekend we take time to remember & express gratitude for those who paid the ultimate price that every single one of them knew might be asked of them. I have a difficult time fathoming that love for our country & its people. To all families of anyone who died in service to the USA I give my respect & gratitude. You've experienced loss, while the rest of us have gain in the protection of our lives & freedom. I also pray for our country, because many changes don't feel so much like freedom anymore. I don't mean to know what our Fallen fought for, but I'm sure many of them didn't sacrifice for a lot of what is happening. If I'm wrong, God set me straight. Enjoy your Memorial Day weekend & don't forget to say thanks.

Over the 5 yrs I was going through reconstruction, deconstruction, re-reconstruction, sepsis & all that fun wound packing, I pretty much lived in my recliner. Partly because I really enjoy eating & probably partly due to boredom/emotions that ran amok, I gained 50 flipping pounds. I've posted photos of the times I could move & temporarily lose weight, but always I gained it back when the next surgery happened. Now that my health is returning, I'm determined to lose this weight. The good news is, over the last 10 months, I've lost 30-some pounds. The bad news is, thanks to a bum knee, I haven't done any squats, lunges, wall squats or any other thing that would tone my gluts...and my butt is getting flat :o Any advice on exercises I can do with a right knee that is screwed up, please?

Most Sundays after church, a group goes to lunch. Each week the group gets a bit larger, which makes me happy. Yesterday a young lady sat at our table & said she felt led to invite an unhoused person she noticed standing on the corner holding a sign to join us. She not only felt the tug to do so, but she took action. So our group grew by one more yesterday, and his name was John. He was good company & had interesting stories. He was gracious & polite. I didn't even notice John down on the corner, so I was humbled in so many ways, both by John & the young lady who invited him to join us. God, make me more observant & obedient to your leading. Happy new week, my friends!

I hope you had an amazing weekend, loved on your moms, if they're still around & felt loved by your family. Let's knock this week out of the park. I'm preaching to myself, of course. I tend to be highly distractable this time of year ;) I want to thank everyone who is always so good to help me during likefest, returning to hit my buttons repeatedly. I've got some amazing friends. Have an awesome day, everyone!

Midweek hugs, my friend. I hope you're handling your responsibilities & finish the week on a high note. We've got a weekend that deserves us being free of stress & regret. If you want to swap for LF, I'm happy to do so, however I will running & resetting likes only...and I won't be doing even that for 24 hours. It's Mother's Day weekend, and I will be will my kids & Cait, hiking, eating ice cream & whatever else they have planned for me. Time with my family is my favorite thing ever, so I'll be in my glory.

I hate it when reality smacks me in the face. Most photos of me are selfies, so I picture myself the way I appear in those. A friend of mine took candid photos of me yesterday & posted them on social media. I hope my memory is short lived & I can go back to the confidence level afforded by my selfies. LOL! I hope y'all had a fun weekend, that this week goes smoothly for you & that your confidence is intact. My only update is that Benny goes to the opthamologist on Thursday. I'm truly hoping that I have an option to remove his eye & keep him around for many years. I'm not ready to say goodbye to him. He's only 5, and he's the bestest boy

It's that time of year when I'm outside more often than I am inside. I'm trying to keep up with likes/rates, but otherwise I am not really available on fu right now. If it rains all weekend, I may be around a bit. I hope you're enjoying spring, too! I'm still waiting on the ortho referral for Zeke, and I found out today that Ben has a darkly pigmented tumor on the iris of his right eye. So now I'll be getting an opthamology referral, too. Plus my 3-week motorcycle vacation is coming up in August. This girl is financially strapped right now, but I'm trusting God to provide my needs just as He always has. Life is rarely predictable, but God is always the same. I hope you have a wonderful day & fill your life with kindness & joy until I update my status again. Hugs all around

I really hope you are doing well. Some of my friends are going through some hard times, and it reminds me how important it is that friends encourage & support each other. Things are pretty stable here. I planted fruit trees this weekend & got my water line installed today. It was so much easier than I expected. Today I'm thankful for PEX pipe ;) I appreciate you, and I think you look amazing today :D

Happy Friday! Rain is threatening to dominant my weekend, but I'm being hopeful. If not, I'll be drinking in the hot tub *oh darn* I hope you have a fun Friday night & that your weekend is perfect!

Happy ALMOST Friday, folks! I hope you're feeling fine & taking care of your responsibilities, while taking a bit of time to get outdoors & unwind every day. A neighbor from up the street stopped by while walking his dog. As we chatted he asked what I like to do in my free time. I told him I stalk people. He said that he likes to go downtown with his friends. I said, "I know." Have a great day & look over your shoulder. You may underestimate my sneakiness ;)

As a public service, I am spreading the information that World Nake Gardening Day is coming soon. It's always the 1st Saturday in May, which is May 4th this year. I don't encourage public nudity or lustful thoughts, but I do encourage people to be content in their own skin, to get their toes in the grass & hands in the soil and to experience at least one day a year how glorious it feels to be in your natural state in the sun & breeze. God's creation is amazing, and that include you. Go be connected to nature & in tune with your body :)

As I was falling asleep last night, I told myself to stay on track at work. Then I woke up, and the sun was shining, lol. I did pretty well for the start of a new week. I just want to say I'm not thrilled with the new points bonus schedule. I don't fu on Sundays for the most part, and that is now the day with all the boosts I like :/ I went to church, had lunch with friends, then met Sue & two new friends for a day of riding. I had a beer for the first time since last summer, and it was a hazy IPA. SO good on an 83 degree, full sun, full black leather, sitting on an air-cooled engine type of day. I hope you had an amazing weekend, too & that the week is starting out smoothly for you.

Happy Friday, my dear friends! The work I was supposed to do is postponed, so I should spend my work hours cleaning up emails & organizing. I might go outside, pick up more downed branches the crazy wind is displacing or dig some more trench or just about anything that isn't sitting at my desk. But first, I will do what work work needs my attention & try my best to be responsible. The weekly challenge this week is tough. I still need to rate 160 boomerangs. I guess if I stayed on fu more, I'd get it done more easily. If I miss the WC, but I get to ride my motorcycle tomorrow or I get dirty planting flowers, I'd say that's a fair trade. Enjoy today & do a little dancing just to let the joy increase.

I want to thank those who provided tequila recommendations. If I am ever able to arrange a tequila tasting, I'll let you know how it turns out. I've reached that time of the year when all I want to do is go outside & play, which means go do some outside yard/garden chore. Please don't think I'm rejecting my friends here. The call of the wild is just too strong ;) I care about you, but I don't care to spend all my time with my nose stuck in my phone. I wanna be cavorting in the sun & breezes. In the meantime, I appreciate all gifts, bling, abilities, comments, likes, rates & such. I really do! I just can't convince myself to take the time to respond. I thrive in sunshine :) I hope you enjoy spring!

I was alcohol free until I was 46, and I'm still not a big drinker. Tequila is my fav when I do drink. As a newb I fell prey to Clase Azul, That gorgeous bottle with the bell on the top & the super sweet tequila fooled me. That tequila, along with Casamigos, is full of additives. I want to appreciate real, true, agave tequila. So I'm learning. If you can recommend your fav, I'd appreciate it. My list for sippling tequilas: Cazcanes No.7, El Tequileno, Don Fulano, Aretta & Partida Roble Fino reposados. G4 & Fortaleza anejos & for margaritas is Aretta blanco. Thank you!

I see the solar eclipse caused some of you to go crazy. Oh wait! You already were :p It's a new week & the day whose name shall not be mentioned. I hope you are recharged & ready to take on anything you may encounter this week. I got so much done yesterday! And now I'm sore, lol. Anyone have any ibuprofen lying around? This girl is medication free, but right now I sure wish I kept a stash. Have an awesome day!
