Hi Everyone,
I'm just cleaning today...I have already taken a tool all around the house to gather cobwebs. They seem to multiply quickly. In a minute I will go out to gather some succulents to plant a little mini garden for a friend. He loves gnomes and I found a tiny ring holder with a gnome in the center. It will look so cute with mini succulents all around.
breakfast- protein drink
lunch- cheese and two pieces of dry salami
dinner- pork chops, mashed potatoes and zucchini
snacks- watermelon, cherries
I also struggle with sugar... I can eat some, not a lot, but it is an addiction for sure. I also have the chip thing Jeannie. So I try to keep it all in moderation. TRY is the magic word.
It sounds like you two are enjoying a nice vacation. You should call me when you get together in Wyoming! My cell phone number is 209-923-3060...I promise I won't stay on too long.
Trish,
I hate the heat too. I have to tell you that I just won't go outside when it's this hot. Sugar is so hard for those who can still eat it...I am so thankful that I cannot because let me say, I'd eat the hell out of it. I might take a bite here and there, but it's a small bite and that's it. Salty chips kill me...I just cannot leave them alone.
Keep yourself hydrated.
Linda,
I know you are excited to be heading out...There's a cowboy museum and, strangely, a boot factory. We are of course taking the kids to Yellowstone, but we are taking them to the museum and to the boot factory to get their own boots. If you are driving, take a quick detour and head to SDakota and see Mt. Rushmore. Then drive straight across WY...there are tons of things to see along the way.
We are getting things together. Next week, I have a friend from the Middle East coming for a few days, then we are packing, and on the 23, we are heading out. I hope you are still there.
Good Afternoon Linda and OFF,
I'm still struggling with the sugar. I am also not making good meal choices. That's all I'm gonna say about food.
I am still reeling from this week's news.
I need to get in some exercise somehow. It's been hot and humid here.
Hugs,

Its early and I am up. I have been getting up like clockwork at 6:13 or 6:14 every morning for a month or so. I am in Mountain time so 6:13 is 5:13 and here I am wide awake.
Today will be a time of gathering information on the things to do in Cody and the surrounding area. Went to the grocery store last night so I could avoid shopping on the weekend which I understand is a very crowded time. Other than that I will probably take a Lasix and stick around the house. I have some swelling in my left leg but not as much as usual when I travel. The edema is not as bad as I would have expected so that is good.
Today I will have a protein bar for breakfast, left over grilled chicken green salad for lunch and udon for dinner with a veggie. Snacks will be an apple or an orange.
What happening with you???
I'm here in Cody, just call me or post and give me a day, time, and place. I will try to check in everyday.
I am running in and out...I am going to rent a van or a larger car to take on vacation because my car is just too small for the kids to ride comfortably.
I had an egg for breakfast and a tomato sandwich for lunch...
Snack will be fried soy...I'm sure it won't be enough so I will eat a cracker or two...I have three.
Dinner is soup....yeah soup.
Ladies, stay cool and I hope to see Linda in WY....
hello... I hear you on the heat thing... we are having a heat wave...
when I finally came to work (I was late) I noticed that a commercial trash truck broke down on our property and there were 2 guys ..one mechanic trying to fix it and the driver... i asked them if they want some water - and then gave each of them 2 cold water bottles. These people work so hard...
II plan to stay inside today... out just enough to get to and from a car...My car has good air.. we are expecting 100F+ with a heat index (humidity) well above that...
I hope to get a massage tomorrow... and then just chill.. no big plans for the weekend...
we may go to see a movie... I would like to do some sewing.. (fixing things or just taking things in/ heming..) I am not an expert- but it is nice to be able to do that. I also woudl like to make/modify a few pillow covers... I have a few neck pillows and I have a fabric and i find it ridiculous to pay $10-$15 or even more per "special pillow case " when I can buy a standard one for $2.. and I can make 4 special ones from it...
beside that - nothing is going on...

good morning Nancy and those to come
I am packing up and getting ready to Check out of our last hotel. Tonight I will sleep in my home for the summer. Hope the beds are comfy. My food for today:
Breakfast. Protein bar
Rest of day best choice possible on the road. I brought my scale with me and tomorrow I'll see if the trip has done much if any damage.
I hope to see Jeannie in a few days.
Have a good one ladies
Good morning, everyone!
Today I have to wait until after 7 pm when the hydro costs go down...our country hydro fees are outrageous here...but I have to bake a double batch of IMPOSSIBLE CHEESEBURGER PIES....one for my family and one to take along to a POT LUCK that I am attending on Saturday. I have already made banana bread...enough for the Potluck AND to freeze in smaller portions.I rarely bake in the summer but, if I am going to bake, I make use of the hydro and fill up the entire oven at once.(I had bought a bundle of ten extra-ripe bananas yesterday for one dollar!****il then, I continue doing my artwork projects.
We are still waiting for rain and JB told me to take it easy on the water...our cistern is getting pretty low...we may have to call for the water truck. Our cistern usually holds 35,000 gallons. My water bottle is always with me.
Our Belgian Shepherd, Quira, and our feral cat community have a child's wading pool filled with fresh water to keep them well-hydrated. There's plenty of shade trees around the yard, so they are all safe and well-cared for.
Our younger son, Derek, is working for CAA/AAA and driving a tow truck...his shift is 12 hours...1:00 pm til 1:00 am and is out rescuing people's cars in this terrible heat. I gave him my "hot flash towel" to keep with him in an extra-large ziplock bag and a bit of water...it has little gel-filled pockets that keep the water cool and he can wrap that around his neck to cool off...thank goodness I did not choose the PINK one when I bought it....lolol.
Thankfully, Danny works inside.
Today's menu:
Breakfast: protein drink
Snack: banana
Lunch: hard cheddar cheese & fresh fruit
Snack: yogurt
Dinner: homemade extra-lean beef patty, cooked beets and tossed salad
Bedtime snack: one cup of large-flake rolled oats cooked with milk & nuts & seeds sweetened with local unpasturized honey
Please stay safe...
