Nacy, I’ve seen those on line, they are adorable. I bet the one you have is super special since it comes with memories of a fun trip.

I order evergreen scented candles from the same company every Christmas and save the little tins for GD so she can store odds and ends in them.

Speaking of log cabins and favorite things, I decided to order a set of Lincoln Logs this year so my GD can construct villages on my console table as Christmas decorations. Egads, the price!
So I ordered a big off-brand set called ‘Wooden Logs’ - much cheaper. I got them yesterday. They are plastic. Rookie Amazon mistake! I’m sending them back and have already ordered a much smaller Lincoln Log set at a much higher price. I figure I can add sets to it over the years. In about 10 years (and several hundred dollars) I should have the village I envisioned, and maybe a great grandchild to build it!

I've been watching a match-making show. It's interesting to see how some people choose to meet their future spouse. I met my husband randomly through a common hobby.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Skies are blue
And the dreams that you dare to dream
Really do come true
Someday I'll wish upon a star
And wake up where the clouds are far behind me
Where troubles melt like lemon drops
Away above the chimney tops
That's where you'll find me

Golden I immediately recognized the version you quoted, but although the singing is amazing I have to say I've always thought it sounds like he forgot the lyrics and just kept singing anyway LOL

If it's not your burden to carry, you may just have to put it down.

It is really really true that no good deed goes unpunished.

I never learned to wait to be asked to help. I just see a need, and fil it.

One of my favorite things is snow skiing. South Lake Tahoe has a famous ski resort called Heavenly. From on top of the mountain you can see the beautiful blue shades of Lake Tahoe which never freezes because it's so deep. The top of the mountain is a very harsh environment and it's right at the top of the tree line. The few trees that do manage to cling to life between the boulders are ancient gnarly contorted figures. It looks like a giant natural bonsai garden. The first thing I like to do when get off a chairlift at the top is get off to one side and say a prayer thanking God for making such magnificence for us to enjoy. I swear that standing at the the top of Heavenly Ski Resort, I can actually hear angles singing.

Somewhere over the rainbow
Bluebirds fly
Birds fly over the rainbow
Why then, oh, why can't I?
Somewhere over the rainbow

If happy little bluebirds fly
Beyond the rainbow

Some of the most difficult words to say are:

"I was wrong"

"I need help"

and

Worcestershire sauce.

hang in there everyone!! i'm sure it's not easy. many of us here on the forum are having a hard time with caregiving issues. i'm still on a break from the forum.

but - i must - update you on important matters:
the crush i have on a man.

sooooo, this is just to say, that i continue to have a crush on him. (he's single; i'm single). i still, of course, won't tell him how i feel. we continue laughing at each other's jokes (he has a great sense of humour).

so, that's it for now.
update over.

i continue to have a hopeless crush on a man. hopefully he doesn’t realize.

anyway we talk often. and i noticed i’m starting to talk more and more like him! haha.

they say couples become more and more similar to each other with time. well, it’s happening to me and we’re not even together!

anyway…i’ll just continue hopelessly having a crush on him.

poor bundle of joy

Watching a beautiful Tim Janis video about National Parks.
Banff National Park and Torres del Paine Park are beautiful.

There are llamas (or Alpaca) in the high places, antelope too.

Agreed about limitations as one ages. Used to get carry out ×7/week. Plus huge jugs of iced tea. Remedied that by eating in and making my own tea. You do have to say "No, I cannot do what I used to do." Much to my chagrin - like when someone with zero common sense uses our local food pantry as a Goodwill donation.

The Amazon box just delivered says on it:
"Aw, another excellent choice!"

I agree with AlvaDeer and Golden!
Two very wise and active women.
They can run circles around me.

I didn't even go outside to see the Amazon box. The photo arrived in my email, and dH brought it inside. I saw it while laying down for a rest, after prepping the pork tenderloins to cook.

Goodnight everyone!

AlvaDeer,

Here is my schedule of Rules to Honor my limitations:
(Whether one is 62 or 82) They are for me. Each person can adapt them for themselves. If you can do more, then good for you!

Never an appointment on a Monday (because it cannot be cancelled over the weekend.)

If going out (shopping, an appointment) plan it for every other day.
If after the appointment you want to shop, limit it to 2 hrs. max.

Never walk a lot shopping, and then think you can do any gardening the same day. You ARE over-doing it. There is no honor in that. That's for the next day. After gardening one day, take 2-3 days off, unless you hire a gardener for the heavy duty work.

Walk slower. Do not walk over uneven surfaces like bricks, cobblestones, or those beautiful flagstone. You will fall. At our age, it is much too silly to fall just to get out of work or get sympathy.

Drink water. If you get dizzy, or even just a bit tipsy, sit in the garden in shade, don't work in it. Come inside in temps over 78 with sun. Wear a sun hat, and sunglasses. Isn't that what our gardens are for, sitting in the shade?

Does anybody have a fantastic recipe for iced tea, or lemonade? Can you pick some mint from your garden?

Even on days you feel great, follow your limitations so you can feel even better the next day. No one ever said in their last hour, I forgot to pull that one last weed in my garden, did they?
