Gray, intermittently rainy, and cool here today. Claudia wants to go to Frankfort for lobster rolls today. Pretty popular food truck up there. It's funny, she was just complaining about all the eating we've done lately, but yesterday suggested we go get Reuben sandwiches at the inn (I asked if she would split one with me, so we did), then wanted to go get ice cream (I couldn't as I was too full), and now lobster rolls! It always felt like the food suggestions were coming from me, but maybe I was just quick to just leap on the food bandwagons presented to me. I suppose the meds are working enough that I could take or leave any of it these days. I still enjoy food, can eat a fairly normal meal, and occasionally get snacky in the evenings, but this drive to try/eat everything is not present at the moment. Then again, I was convinced it wasn't working at all just a month ago, so I am an unreliable witness on this issue!

The scale moved a little more today thank goodness after pretty much a month of staying the same, and a second month within 3 pounds of that. 188.6.

Off to drink a protein shake... Enjoy your Friday!

I was always told I should have my puppies spayed or neutered at 6 months. Very interesting to hear that there is a reason to wait. Justice wasn't neutered until he was 3 so he had plenty of time beforehand.

What a difference you made in the futures of those kids! I hope you have that opportunity in your last year.

Red rice yeast? What is that? Do you sprinkle it on food? My DH doesn't really like ratatouille either, but I still make one big pot right about now when the farmers markets are bursting with all the goodies. I portion it up and freeze it. It heats up nicely.

Greetings all

Another beautiful day here. Sunny and breezy. Started the day with visit to doctor to fog mirror. My cholesterol is high and always has been but it's worse. He wants me to do red rice yeast since lipitor made me miserable. He is so funny. He told me I had plenty of attitude. LOL got that right. Then I went to the studio and made a few things. Power washing is going on outside my window so thats kind of noisy. Stopped at the hippie health food for a few things including red rice yeast. There was a farmers market outside so I got some green beans and cherry tomatoes. I would like to make rattatouie but DH hates it.

CC it seems your dad is experiencing some aging stuff. I have observed some older people lose a bit of their "finesse" in social situations and sometimes react in a slightly childish way. Crazy Pat had those issues big time and was angry and cranky a lot and it helped me to think of it as aging and not just that she was a mean witch! Sorry you and Claudia have to deal with it. And teenage Kirby must be a handfull. My niece the vet checked the bones of the puppy she got from me before she was spayed to insure bone development was sufficient. But that was a small dog. She things animal welfare groups have pushed veterinary opinion into early spay neuter and its best to wait. I let all my puppy buyers choose since I knew they were not going to haphazardly reproduce.

DD how cool is that reading program!!! It must be awful to be a kid and go to school and not being able to read well which makes everything else impossible. I think kids need to start learning to read from birth by hearing language and being read to. I feel lucky to have had parents that recognized this and I can't remember not knowing how to read. It's such a gift. You are a gift to your students!

Liz hope you get rodent free car soon. I saw some internet post about anti rodent spray for cars. Who knows.

Great job Paula on 21 lbs. Good on you for baby duty. Such a sweetie.

Ann enjoy your lazy summer days. Thats what summer is for.
