Coffee is hot

Here too Lynda... Am glad you arrived safely.. how was the flight in?

Just a little hijack here, welcome to Boston!!! Where are you staying? I'm only about 5 miles north of the city. Hope you have a great stay. The weather looks great today a little muggy

Hi Rita--I'm at the Hyatt financial district right in downtown crossing. Muggy--I now live in Florida--this feels crisp to me. LOL! How times have changed. I am familar with Stoneham, my husband grew up in Wakefield. Am talking about getting together with Jane and Joann. Joann and I had talked about getting together this afternoon. But Jane just said something about tomorrow. I'm waiting for Joann to get out of work to call her. I'm gonna be in Burlington on Thursday afternoon. Plan on shopping at the mall--would you like to join me/us one of those times?

Unfortunately I work full time, but let me know what times and where and I'll see what I can do. I think I feel a headache comming on. The Burlington Mall is my home away from home. Few Malls can compare if you haven't been there in a while you're in for a treat

Morning again Val, wish I could knit or crochet that well, I am going to need all the warm clothing I can get my hands on this winter. I still freeze here in summer wherever they have air conditioning!! It is good seeing some of my good familiar "lighthouses" again. Best to you and all, I am going to make it somehow. Bea

Bea, I know you will make it, one suggestion is to stay on the boards... One of my goals is to decorate the house with all handmade things and cast iron, this old farm house can handle it very well... I found some real pretty black iron candle holders and scounces, and in one of my crafting book, I saw where someone took a picture and when they framed it, they framed in a doiley in one of the corners of it, it looked so neat, so will do that with Mariannes school pic this year.... and I need to get out my cross stitching and make some more samplers too, but my hands are swollen right now, and is hard to hold my cross stitch needle so the knitting needles work better at this point... Bea, You have got to look for that trophy and rainbow at the end of the tunnel, take things slow, and really think about your moves, and you will be fine..... am sending you best wishes for your back, I know how that is I have spondylitis as well, and my lower back is a mess.. and the more stress the more pain, so go slow, and treat yourself well.. Do a fun project to keep you thinking good thoughts for the new house in your future.... Saw in one of my crafter books some lady made place mats out of jig saw puzzles, she glued them all together and poly'd them, they looked so nice on the table...would definitly keep your mind off things.. take care of yourself, and you know how to reach me... (((((((((Bea))))))))

Thanks again Val, I know all too well that I have many a battle to go before all is over and done with. But I will make it and so will he. He is needing encouragement more than ever for the strength he needs to face alot of his dementor and conquer it. He literally holds all the cards and just doesn't realize it right now. Hopefully he will soon. I do though, feel so lost and helpless at times, but thankfully, through the gift of kind thoughts and prayers from so many like you and others instill in me the fight to go on. For that, I am forever grateful. Bea

Good morning. I have had my pot of coffee and a protein shake and that's about all I have done besides getting dressed. Going to be hot today. Short shorts and halter top for me. Shorts feel a little tight this morning hhuuuuummmmmmmm.

Good Morning Delores, Sounds like a cool outfit, me I am still in my jammies. Had my 2 cups of coffee, the protein shake will go down in a bit, and then the water bottel comes out... Is water retention from the heat, I know it is...... lol.... Is a little `chilly up here this morning, and the clouds are starting to come in again, they are saying more storms for today.... You have a lazy day, and do something nice for yourself, you deserve it!!!!!!

Val--What a beautiful bright blue sky here in Boston. I got in late last night and then there was a major thunderstorm. I need to get my butt in gear to go get my breakfast and get to the gym. I have no coffee in my hotel room so I'm heading down to get some. TTYL I take my vitamins and protein EVERY day. I am bad about many things--but that is one thing I am very good at.
