WHATS HAPPENING WED THE 30TH

Two days till New Years wow…..im thankful that my health is good and no longer take pills for high blood pressure…have cut way down on the arthritis meds now too since the two knees are replaced…

Sandy sorry I missed your post on Sunday….sorry you ended up in the ditch wow that would have been scary…but thankful you could pull out of it by yourself. As they say most accidents happen with in five miles of your home. That is weird isn’t it. Oh I bet it was fun watching the kids slide down the hills…we didn’t have enough snow here to do that….Patrick did make tiny snowman that lasted till yesterday lol…I mean it was tiny too about 6 inches tall.

Jeanie-Ray anything I can help you with on gardening will be glad to help….if I was able I would even come and help you with it but by the time I do my own veggie gardening and all my flowers I don’t have time to turn around …

Oh my it looks so pretty outside this morning…we have about 2 inches of white on everything. The highway truck have been by the house plowing off the road and then putting down salt so I guess the roads are pretty good. You would think that down where we live that we would be the last on the list of roads to be cleaned but it isn’t so. They were by here about 5:30 and the elect company is about the same way….last year when there was that big ice storm , we weren’t here but Andy said they weren’t without power that long.

J0 I too have been getting less protein than I need and have been getting tired of all the different ways of doing the protein powder but we have to do what we have to do….have you tired any of the Isopure powder or ready to drink protein drinks? They are a little pricy but arent bad at all. Especially if you put them other flavored water….my sister gets hers at GCN ….

I have just been making my protein coffee and then pouring half of it in another container…which I warm up and drink in a couple of hours….also I make hot choc with protein powder in it….I also make my strawberry smoothies that everyone that likes strawberries loves. I use frozen strawberries to make it thick…you can use what ever fruit you love and I change it around sometimes. I still try to get in at least 2 protein drinks a day which equals 60 grams of protein and I probab ly should do another one since I cant seem to eat meats well at all. The only meat im able to eat any of at all that doesn’t make me sick is deer.

Everything else sits like a lump in the pit of my stomach and is like that for a couple of days after eating it.

BARB:::: I know you are getting excited about getting rid of the unwanted skin….I would be too. That will feel so good to not have that stuff hanging…

Tell your hubby for all of us thank you for all he does to keep the roads clean and safe for everyone. I know it has to be a hard , thankless job.

I know Baby does give you lots of pleasure , especially since you feel like you have part of your sister with you still.

When you coming down to see me again? In the spring? Would love to have you visit again…come to stay a week and I will see if we can get some others to come then too. Will do the boot camp that we never got done last year. Lol…I still need it …I am hoping that I can get to walking again soon. But the cold right now freezes my knees. Maybe I need some leg warmers to pull up over my knees when im outside. I have some old sweater sleeves that I do that in the house but they fall down to easy if I try to walk lol

SUSIE:::::; did you get your snow you have been wanting??? Im glad that your opening on your incision wasn’t as bad as you though it was…no one will probably ever notice it at all.

I sure do wi**** wasn’t as cold as it is too. Take care of yourself. Sorry about your plastic surgeon not being in your network….will just have to find one that is I guess if they are going to cover the cost of it.

JEANIE-RAE:::: sometimes building raised beds to plant in is the best thing you can do for gardening. Is a little expensive to start but you can make your beds out of rock or old lumber you have around ….just make sure you can reach the middle of the beds from each side so no more than about 4 feet wide. Could start with one bed this year and then build another next year.

On protein drinks over the long haul I have found that the wal mart brand vanilla flavored is what I use the most of. Mainly because I can flavor it anyway I want to ….all of the nectar things and stuff like that I don’t like but that is just me I guess. Because a lot of people do like them…im too cheap to try too much stuff lol .

I hope you get to feeling better really quick….will be a new year here in a couple of days , need to start out well and healthy. Lol

BEV:::: LOL only 87 days till spring huh maybe we need to have a big count down counter on here somewhere lol . I am anxious for it to be here. There has already been way too much cold for me. This is the first winter we have been here in about 5 years. And there wont be another one believe me…

I know you have to feel so much better not smoking….I quit 15 years ago wow doesn’t seem that long ago but I know my lungs sure have thanked me a lot. I use to have chronic bronchitis all the time it seemed and havent had any now for about 12 years. So I guess all of that has healed .

See you tomorrow on New years eve……
