Love the dancing in the storm meme. I had a visitor from South American one year. It was Christmas Eve and it started snowing. She had never seen snow before. She ran outside and started dancing in the snow. She is a ballerina and her dance was so beautiful. One of my best memories of Christmas Eve.

Good morning, Jennifer and Menuers,
You can post that meme every Friday. It is perfect for anyone who has a job. Plans for the weekend are gym, Mom duty, I am going to prune my Thanksgiving cactus, I am hoping the dealership is available to teach me how to use the park assist in my car. I want the Genius to show me before I try it out in the wild. Leaving for vacation the first weekend in May and normally I have a Kentucky Derby party that day. I requested that when I arrive, I have Mint and powdered sugar to keep the Mint julep tradition alive.

Good morning, everybody!
This week has flown by. We went on a tram ride and a Jeep Tour in the desert. Yesterday, we went to the tennis tournament at Indian Wells. We fly home in the early afternoon. And we reached an agreement on the Florida place. Hopefully we will close in two weeks.
I will post pics next week, but wanted to say "hi " to everyone.
Have a great weekend!

The people on Facebook and other media who write those nasty replies think they are demonstrating how smart they are. I don't engage back which I am sure upsets them more. They can be so ignorant. Sorry you had to experience their ignorance.

Good mornin y'all.
i have my first B12 shot this morning then another urine analysis. Then my mom is wanting to hit up the thrift stores. I am hoping for more energy. My GI tract is pretty bad right now. I guess it's the iron but man...I could do without this. After I get through some of this medical stuff I'm going to attempt physical therapy on my hip. My shoulder is still jacked but it is what it is.
This weekend my brother and the fam is coming over. We're just doing hamburgers. I haven't been eating just a whole lot during the day. Nothing sounds good. We have 6+ bags of chips. My brother and fam is going to go to her families cabin in southern NM Sunday and they wanted us to get some chips from Sam's. I haven't touched any of the chips in weeks. Well I tried some my mom bought. Two potato chips. I have some rainbow assorted carrots I need to fix today or tomorrow.
