Topic: RE: Tom's Farm, the Novel
I can tell you that it would be a 6-8 hour drive, much easier flying into Ontario airport and have one of us pick you up.

As soon as Doug is retired I can see road trip in my future!

Thanks, it was alot for me to go out and walk as I did, I think the standing watching everyone drinking wine is what did me in!!!  lol.

I am feeling better just really really really really really, did I say really (?) tired!

Diane~

Thank you for the great details of your day!  I live in Northern Cal and didn't know how far Tom's Farms is from up here.  But after your account, I might just have to venture off for the weekend and find out!!

Good job, Katt at putting together what sounds like a great event!!  I know how nerve wracking these things can be!!

Feel better Diane~thanks again.

OMG I missed a good time.  Again.  Drat this mess of living up here in God's country!  We had a total relax and kick back day.  Tomorrow is some more of the same.  WE have company and are just visiting and relaxing and going to other friends house and visiting. 

Thankfully I figured out what was causing my incredible pain and discomfort on my insides.  My poor guts have been in turmoil for about 2 weeks.  I've been bound up and full of painful gas.  Well, about 3 weeks ago I switched to Activia Light yogurt.  You know, that stuff that's supposed to be good for you.......................well NOT!  OMG.  3 days after switching back to my Yoplait yogurt thigns are back in order.

I seriously need a spa date.  I've been so busy lately I've been neglecting taking care of myself.  Shame of Me!  I must take care of this

Hi Rick,
glad to hear you are on the mend!

Today I did yard work for 2 hours then scrubbed both bathrooms and did 4 loads of laundry.  I was tired and took a small siesta this afternoon.  I was good to be outside I love working with my flowers and stuff.  Tomorrow will be walking, to church and then at the flea market.  I love to  go up and down every row!

I get up at5:00 in the a.m.  TO start getting ready to meet you for the very first time.  I fluffed and I puffed and tucked and Nipped and  squeezed myself into the cutest dress ever all to meet you and you lovely Bride Anna.  But NOOOOOOOOO you don't even bother to show up at all!  I was so mad!  I was so exited to introduce you to my 5 million kids.  I can't believe you did not even call me. Don't expect me to ever wake you up on a Friday again or even remind you what day it is.  This is unbelievable.  I can't tell you how mad I am.

Hey Diane and Katt and Rhonda and everyone that I met at Tom's Farm (Reintroduce yourselves to me please - I'm new and my memory is a little wonky),

I had such a great time meeting everyone but we have to all get together again soon so I can remember everyone's names.  I am so glad that I drove out - I almost didn't because I was a little nervous about not knowing anyone but that quickly changed when I was told to start introducing myself.

As for my overalls - you'll have to catch my ass to get them...

   muahahahaha.... 

Thanks for being so nice and when can we get together again!  I had a blast with all of you!!!  You guys rock!

Hey Rick...sounds like everyone had a great time at Tom's Farms.  It is really wonderful when you can put actual faces together w/cyber postings.

I didn't clock any thing official..just a whole bunch of walking all day long.  Been to Fry's Electronics, WalMart, FoodMax and then home from each.  WalMart and FoodMax required multiple trips to unload the car and then just moving to put stuff away.  I can tell I've been walking alot..my lower back starts to hurt...an old injury from my teen years.

Hopefully tomorrow will be back to the normal route for me and the dogs.

Diane, thank you for the kind words. I had a lot of fun putting this event together. It was a great day, with good friends ( new and 'old'). I really appreciate the help that I received from Judy Anne and Sheryl at the welcome table. The clothing exchange was a huge success. I got a few cute things myself. The rest will go to women's shelters in the area. It was great to see Donna, Tina and the boys. They are sooo cute. Loved aeeing Rhonda, Gerry and the kids. They are an awesome family. (Rhonda, you're gonna have to twach me sign language so that I can communicate with Gerry a lot better...lol). It was great seeing everyone having a good time. I am glad that eveyone had such a great time. I raffled off 3 bottles of Torani syrups and a gift bag full of miscellaneous items (a pen, candles/holders and picture frame). Well, I need to get dinner started, so I will post later and keep a lookout for the pictures. Diane, thanx for post your mini novel...love you! x0x0x0 Feel better soon.

Topic: Tom's Farm, the Novel
We headed out this morning early, got to Tom's Farm at around 10.  Things were a little different this year.  Tom's farms did some remodel and we had a huge tent, with tables and chairs under it.  At the head table was Cheryl and Judy Anne, two OLDIES, not in age, tho JudyAnne said I looked like a old lady with my walker.  Anyway, we went to the sign in table, with those two wonderful ladies at it.  Cheryl placed a beautiful friendship bracelet that I believe she made on my wrist.  What a wonderful way to greet us, and I will treasure it forever.  I loved mine.  Signed in, got our name tags, and a raffle ticket.  We left before the raffle so I have NO idea what they gave away in the raffle.  There were pictures from previous Tom's farms and OMG.  Monica, I saw you probably right after surgery.  Had no idea who you were.  What a difference.  Anyway, I said Hello to so many people.  Met Leslie from Yucca Valley, we are going to have a burn your overalls party like we did for Becky's shirt.  What a wonderful person she is, so full of life and she did so well at lunch eating JUST soup and sticking with the program.  Then Rhonda had gotten there, and the party was on.  The entire Foster clan was with her.  It was 5 thousand kids that she has, really only 6, Lil Michelle was there with her little Charlene.  Lil Charlene calls Dougie 'Papa", it is so cute.  There were so many hugs and kisses from everyone, to everyone.  It was wonderful.  I met mystwalker, I hope I said that correct and her Fiance Chris, who ladies is a real QT pie.  What wonderful nice people.  Jandell was there with her hubby, Eggface was there.  I just love that woman.  Jean was there with one of her BFF's, she has alot more than one.  Celest, Gary, SueBee, I met Ricks wife for the first time.  Rick looks unbelieveable.  He is so slim.  Then a huge group of us went to lunch.  I did see JudyAnne there for a bit at lunch but I don't know where they went.  We had lunch at Senor Toms. poor Linda was there trying to eat something, bless her heart.  We all sat outside, I sat next to Becky and across from Jandell, there were the 5 million kids at a table, and all the adults eating at other tables.  Dougie and I had to wait 15 extra minutes because Rhonda ordered food for those 5 million kids.  After lunch we went to taste some wine and cheese, but the wine lady was out to lunch!  So off to the sugar free candy we all ran.  I think everyone walked out with at least one bag of sugar free candy.  It is all delicious.  At last, the wine lady came back, we all wandered there, and Dougie, Jean, and Linda tasted some wine.  I saw Rhonda with two large loaves of the softest freshest bread I had every seen.  It was still hot from the oven.  Good thing I didn't have a knife and some butter, I would have loved to eat some, right there in the middle of the store, and it would have been so worth it to puke it all up.  But lucky for all, I didn't have any of the above mentioned things, so Rhonda got away with the bread,

Doug and I then drove back over and some of the people came over to the car to say goodbye to me.  I overdid it.  My back was screaming at me, and still is, just a little softer now because the perocet is working.  OH how could I forget, Chris S showed up!!!!  I FINALLY got to meet her.  She looks exactly like her picture and she is just as sweet as she looks.  Katt, wonderful job!!!!  I don't think everything could have been any better.  You did a great job and THANK YOU for putting it together and for all your hard work.  All of those that brought clothes, thank you, it was a great clothing exchange.  I did see Monica there, but heck by then she was buried in clothes, looking for new things.  So many from so far, thanks for driving out and making Katt's hard work pay off.  This group of people that were out there, you made Tom's Farms a success.  Today reminded me of the day that we had a supper for all of those that were running the LA Marathon.,  There were over 100 people there that day, I don't think we made 100,, but there was a pretty large size.  It was fun.  So if you missed today, make it next year.  Great to meet so many people we have only seen in pictures.  They all came alive and real today.

So someone please finish what happened after we left.  I know that Javi was there, thank you for the clothes for Doug.  He has some much better t-shirts now.  I have a ton of PJ's  I didn't see Gus and Anna, I probably missed them.  Next year I will stay all day because I won't be so tired like I am now. 

Again thank to Katt...wonderful day, beautful weather and a gathering of some wonderful kind sweet people.

Hugs, Diane

Good afternoon all,

Well it is that time of day that we all tell how we "Moved to Lose" today and just remember, everything counts.

Sorry for the late posting but we just got back from the Tom's Farm event and had a great time. Met up with some old friends and made a bunch of new ones. It was great to finally meet people in person and put a real face to the postings.

For me, well I just did a little walking today while I was there. Did just under 3/4's of a mile walking around at Tom's Farms. Doctor took the cast off and the stiches out but forbid me from walking the park (yeah right****il Friday....... We will just see how my foot feels by Tuesday or Wed LOL.

Have a great day all..............Rick

Morning Luana and Cali gang
Just a quick run by before I race out the door to go pick the m/h up...again :-(  The heater still isn't fixed but it's not the Shop's fault..he's trying! LOL

So, we're staying home this weekend which is probably a good thing afterall.  I've been 'fired' from the treasurer's job for our carving club, effective Jan 1 when new officers take over.  I was originally kinda miffed at the way it was handled but decided it was more my eqo stepping in than anything personal. And now I am sooooo grateful!! LOL  No more 'obligation' to show up at meetings, produce financial reports, run the major seminars or answer stupid questions from people who don't have a clue about money matters, not that the clubs finances are rocket science.  Lon was Vice President and 'declined' the Presidency...more like REFUSED the position...and now we both will have our time free and only have to attend meetings if we WANT to (they are really rather boreingggggg).  Anyway, I'll take today to wrap up the books, make sure everything is in order, file my next to last financial report and then CELEBRATE my freedom ^_^

Well, Lon is ready to go..so we are out the door, pick up the m/h and then run some errands.  Might even squeeze in a scooter ride this afternoon if it warms up enough..just need mid 70's and I'm good to go ^_^

Hope Tom's Farm was a blast. so Cal...sure hope to see pics!

Owning up to my self defeating snacking and doing something about it!  The scales have moved DOWN a whole bunch  Yipppeeeee!

Recognizing all the hard work and time hubby put into the m/h trying to get it ready for another test run this weekend...even tho we didn't get to go.

Another beautiful day provided by my Father...He does such a glorious Job LOL

Realizing that being 'fired' from a voluntary job isn't a bad thing afterall...I don't have to deal with all the stress that came with it!

I know you all are thankful today..tell us about it!!

Hi Barb,

Great quote. What a boring life it would be if we didn't try new things or only tried things that were guaranteed to be a success.

I know taking care of parents as they age isn't easy. It's so hard to when they can no longer live at home.

Today I am thankful for;

1. Having the financial means to take care of all the expenses associated with all the errands I need to run today.

2. My charming and kind husband who always has tons of hugs and encouraging words for me

3. The sun that's out today

Next!~

HI all,

Have fun at Tom's Farm today. It sounds like a nice way to spend a Saturday.

I am up to my eyeballs in errands and chores. I am feeling overwhelmed. I'll just have to make a list and cross stuff off as I do it and only do the stuff I need to immediately address. Otherwise my to do list could keep me busy 24/7.

I've been stuck at the same number for a couple of weeks now and I feel panic settling in, but I have had to retire a couple pairs of pants this week so I know the inches are coming off. I just have to remember my body likes to hold on for a couple of weeks and then likes to let go all at once.

Take Care!

Hey Lori,

Sorry to hear you are under the weather.  Sending you healing prayers.  How do you like the neti pot.  I am a horrible winter allergy sufferer and it was suggested I get one.

Also a lil birdie ****irsten) told me you wanted to do a water stop over the holiday break and I was planning to do one then as well.  Would you like to do it together?  Let me know.

Good Morning Lu,

By the way it was great talking with you the other day on FB.  It was good to catch up, and glad you still love me, cause I still love you.

Yesterday was a fun day for me.  Got to get out and have lunch with Lisa, and Becky.  I DROVE for the first time in 3 months.  It was great.  BUT then the car broke, couldn't get it started, mind you this beast only has 55k on it.  It's a battery thing, well now my clock won't work, so I think it is time to bring it into Ford and collect on that extended warranty package.  Doug got the car to work ok, as it is just a battery problem, but what a pain in our arshes.

We are off to Tom's farms today, should be a really fun day,  I won't be spending all day there so we shall see what later today brings.  I hope that everyone has a terrific Saturday.

Diane

Hi Barb

This is so true, that is why when I was young and stupid I went to Pt Valletta by myself because no one want to go.  Wound up being my favorite place to vacation!  Bought a timeshare without knowing a thing about them and have loved it!

Today I am thankful for:

The sun, it is going to be a glorious day!

Ms V, she makes me laugh (got herself dressed today - what an outfit!).

I am really thankful for my life, who ever thought it would turn out like this!!

MoMo,

Congrats girlie!  All your hard work pays off and I hope this means you'll be coming down my way more often and we can have time for a visit.... hint hint.  I mean I can't believe you'd make it to Concord and not have time for a visit.  JK, I know how that is.

Hugs and congrats!

Barb

Good morning Cali,

Looks like it is going to be a wonderful day!  The sun is out and no rain like yesterday.  We will work in the yard and then treat ourselves to some lunch.  So I will get plenty of exercise.  I have to do some laundry and try to clean the two bathrooms, they get dirty so fast!!  Ms V loves to splash and make "big bubbles".

Hope it goes well at Tom's farm, I lived in so cal for 36 years and have never heard of it until the boards.  Wonder how I missed that one!  I am sure you will all have a great time!

Good Morning Luana and Cali Friends,

Good to see you posting Luana, we miss you.  Glad to hear your sister is doing well too.

Today brings craft fairs for Isla and I.  We both are "crafty" people and love going so that ought to be fun.  She is so excited to go.  We accomplished a lot yesterday getting Ron's Dad moved for what I hope and pray will be the last time.  He seemed to settle in nicely and was quite content when Ron and Isla left yesterday.  Last night we did dinner at the Old Spaghetti Factory and then came home and played dominoes with our dear friend Steve.  I didn't win but Steve did and since we were celebrating his birthday, that seemed fitting.

I hope everyone going to Tom's Farms today has a wonderful time.  Please remember to take lots of pictures cuz we want to see everyone and how great you look.

Well off to do some housework.  Have to do some chores before I go out and play!

Hugs,
Barb

I took it a few months back when I was really sick and it was the only thing that got me back on my feet. It's an antibiotic, not an nsaid....
hope you feel better or get better for what ever reason your taking it.

Don’t worry about failure. Worry about the chances you miss when you don’t even try.

Good Saturday Morning Cali Friends, what are you thankful for today?

Today I am thankful for....

1. Getting my father-in-law settled in to a room in a place where my mother-in-law will feel safe and secure in saying good bye to him each day without worry.  He likes his new room and his room mate is wonderful and their family is also very involved in his care.  He has his own TV and Ron is even going to bring his chair for him.  We're going to put some family pics on the walls and make it his own.

2.  That today is Saturday and my mother-in-law and I are going to go to about 5 craft fairs that are local.

3.  Talking to my old boss yesterday, and sharing my successes with my RNY as her husband will have the surgery by my surgeon soon too. 

OK your turn, what are you thankful for today?
