Hi Vickie and my OFF family:
So where is everyone? I thought I was on here late.
I've been missing here lately. Monday was a busy day and then my friend Mary Kay came into town on her way back to Michigan. She has been traveling since December -- she's been to Louisiana to visit her sister, then to Texas and California and back to Texas and Louisiana. She's looking to move to Corpus Christi. She lounging on the couch with her little dog, Sadie, who is smaller than Juliette.
Mary Kay and my brother Gary went to Audubon State Park this morning in Henderson, Ky. I wanted to go, but woke up with a really bad backache. So I stayed home and did laundry. They did a walk that was a lot of uphills ... I wouldn't have been able to do it. I would have stayed in the museum. But oh well ...
We are thinking about going out for Italian tonight; last night we did Greek (Acropolis).
Congrats on losing weight.
Hello again!
Still surprised that no one is here!
So I went for my walk, but I'm hampered by the pain in the balls of my feet. I could walk for 60 minutes now, if my feet would cooperate! It feels like fire, it burns so much. As I begin walking longer and longer stretches, the pain gets almost unbearable. So I came home and looked it up on-line: Metatarsalgia, or pain in the ball of your foot. Yep. That's what I have.
And, of course, one of the leading causes (besides old age) is obesity. Well, hell. I'm TRYING to lose weight, but I need to exercise in order to do that. I think I'm going to try some gel pads that go right under the balls of your feet and supposedly redistribute the pressure somewhat. We'll see. I'm headed up to Walgreens next to see what they have.
I'll check back later on tonight. Hope everyone is doing okay today.

Hi Vickie,
Congrats on almost being in onederland . Sorry about another relative having cancer and giving Maybelle back. That was a nice present to Carrie.
I'm doing okay. At least the snow missed us but it's very rainy today. I got up really late today but I didn't go to bed till 2 am.
I went to visit my friend in rehab, they finally put her on morphine for her pain. Hopefully this will help her get better.
I did my exercise after I ate breakfast. Still trying to get my Sunday paper read and yesterday's paper too.
Thoughts and prayers for everyone.
Love and hugs,
Yvonne
Glad to hear Kenny is on the mend and there was no cancer. Sorry to hear about your sister-in-law.
Hello sistas! I'm surprised to start the thread this afternoon. Guess everyone is busy.
I'm excited to report that ONEDERLAND is once again within sight. I weighed 200.4 today. Just a half pound more to go! I hope I weigh less than 200 lbs. on the doctor's scales on Friday.
Today is a total do-nothing day for us. Thank goodness. Yesterday we took Maybelle back to my SIL Karen. It was a bit awkward but we got through it. And it was sheer heaven to wake up this morning and not have to clean up doggie pee and poop!
But I did find out that another BIL Sandy was just diagnosed with prostate cancer. That is now two of Butch's three younger brothers who have been recently diagnosed with cancer. It stirred up some bad memories for me. Between learning that and having to leave Maybelle behind, I did cry a little bit yesterday. I couldn't help it.
But then we did go to downtown Wimberley and shopped awhile and ate dinner out, which was fun. I bought Carrie an early mothers day gift: a little amethyst ring. Amethyst is Caralee's birth stone. Carrie was so excited.
I haven't been for my walk yet but I'm going soon. The exercise is why I am losing weight.
Tomorrow I take patty Kate to the vet. And on Friday Carrie leaves for Waco. She'll be gone for 6 nights. Wish me luck. I've tried to arrange things where I don't have to get up and go any where during that time so it won't matter how little sleep I get.
Well I'd better get my walking shots on and head out. I'll check back later. Love you all!

Good afternoon Jeannie and everyone....
Jeanie....I am so glad Kenny got all that surgery done. He is now on the road to recovery. I hope it goes quickly!! He had quite a mess going on in there. No wonder he was feeling so awful!! Sending good thoughts for you both.
I am so sorry about your sister in law and her husband. That obviously I really hard for him. He made the right decision that he could make. It may not be what the children feel is right but none the less it was him making his needs known. She will be in good hands and he knows she is receiving the best care possible. I am keeping them both in my thoughts and prayers.
As for me..... I am frozen to the core!! I went with Fran to run errands and then grocery shop. I thought a light jacket would be enough...WRONG! It is only 27 degrees with the wind chill. The wind is fierce and strong! It is also sleeting off and on. I was so glad to get home and warm up!!
Nic and Jamie made it safely back to Iowa last night. They had a great time in Montana. Nic enjoyed the skiing and snowboarding. This was a special group for children with cancer and a parent. Plus, Nic got to spend an evening with Jamie, Stephanie and Stephanie's family.
I am going to go back and curl up on the couch with my down comforter!! Just looking outside makes me cold!!!
Mary...I am so glad you are coming back to us!! Thank your friend for me. She really is doing a great thing for you!!!
I am so tired I can't remember who else I was going to reply to. Please forgive me. You are all so important to me!!
Prayers for our loving OFF Family and their families. Special prayers as needed.
Have a good rest of the day...love and hugs to you all...connie d
Hi Ladies,
Jeannie hopefully your husband will feel a lot better now. Sorry about your brother's wife. I'll keep everyone in my thoughts.
Kathy glad you had a better morning with Jazz. Good luck on your job search.
Mary glad to hear that you got Internet and a computer, you were missed. Sorry about the delay in the demolition of your old trailer. Good you will have better house payments then you did before. You'll be in your new home soon. Glad you got a good friend helping you out.
I'm doing OK, still trying to catch up with my reading from Sunday. I did take a short walk to the pharmacy this morning even though it was cold out but sunny. They're talking about a snowstorm again tonight. I wi**** would just go away and warm up.
Thoughts and prayers for everyone. Everyone have a good evening.
Love and hugs,
Yvonne
