Hi all, I have to make dinner but I did want to report that the new bird house I put up in the spring is occupied. I can see the nesting material sticking out. I haven't see the birds yet, but this is one of those little things that make me happy.
Beth-I am enjoying the bird cam. that is what inspired me to go check the bird house.
Got to get grilling!
TTYL Amy

CATHY-I looked at South wind on youtube. very nice. who does your arrangement? is it in a book? hope the cat is better I have Pilates at 9AM and yoga at 4:30 so lots of time in between. Pilates is only 30 min but we do one thing after another so goes really fast.

Hi All, Libby- Happy anniversary! I hope you got to celebrate
Dutch- could DS have allergies?
Faye- I am glad you like reading about my lessons. I never know if I am saying too much. It is nice to talk about them to people who understand what I am talking about. I really enjoy my lessons,
Barb- Good to get rid of stuff. I have too much but it is hard to get rid of things.
Beth-Glad your bale garden is doing so well. I like the bird cam. and now I have seen Dad arrive with fish.
Cathy- the camp you are going to sounds really fun. Have a good time!
I primed the bannister part that I want to paint. It looks bad right now but hopefully I can get a coat of paint on them today. I am going out to ride first and have a hair appointment at 3:30 so somewhere in there I will paint. I feel a bit overwhelmed but I will keep working on it and it will get done.
HAGD Amy

Good Morning - Amy & Libby - you ladies are very ambitious! I'm in awe! I have now left 3 messages for my contractor about coming to look at the deck -still no response - very frustrated -will leave another message today- We had a nice ride yestereday afternoon -not sure if I will ride later today after Upreach - only one more week until the 2 weeks off -will try for an early morning spot for the summer. Tomorrow afternoon I am going to the new shop for a bit as they are having an open house for the entire complex - maybe make some sales! LOL
Dutch how is DS? kids (and DH"S) are not great patients! Libby Happy Birthday ( and is it your anniversary too? - if so happy as well!)
Beth -good about your garden -do you have any vacation plans coming up?
Cathy -the harp camp sounds like fun -

Thank you for the birthday wishes! I'm 59 today, kind of surreal, I'm the same age now as my mom was when she died of breast cancer in 1989 Lots of good memories also I'm ok with my weight- yet that peskie 10 lbs goes up and down. I really have to focus on it to stay down to my skinny ok weight! I'm at my heavy ok weight right now. I'm off for a fun day, breakfast with a friend from work (old work) then off to dd (its her birthday also) we go shopping and lunch at PF Changs as a ritual. We are driving out to horse camp with her dd and having a girls night (w/o horses). We are going to play horse monopoly - it's really fun and s'mores over the campfire. I'd better go get ready and feed the ponies- work crew will be here again all day today on the kitchen! Yeah!! HAWD everyone!!

LIBBY-did you get to the symphony? what's horse monopoly? HB to DD!! and good luck with the kitchen BARB-when you wrote going to the new store for a bit---I thought there was a new saddlery and you were getting a bit for Penny but I knew you ride bitless and then figured it out LOL!!!!!!! Have a good day at Outreach. sorry about the contractor AMY-I do love reading about your lessons and when you would talk about how you line up to the jump. I can picture my course when I did that and it does now bring up nice memories. it didn't for a long time. So thanks. your descriptions are perfect and I know just what you are talking about good luck with the bannister. New haircut or trim? DUTCH-I think someone asked a good question--could DS have allergies? BETH-how's the walking? are you up to your old speed or still working up to it? CATHY-any news on the garage?? Pilates was great. we really move. I call it vinyasa Pilates (vinyasa yoga is where you don't take breaks--you flow from one pose into another). BUt my trainer for wt. training is leaving. I'll try someone new, a guy, next week and see how it goes. off to the new eye dr. soon. will be there a long time. then yoga later. waving to all. HAGD

Hey all
Happy Birthday Libby!
I've wondered the allergies as well. We have a 4yr wellness appt in a week or so and it's on my list to ask about... Anything is possible.
I played with Ally yesterday. In and out the trailer twice. Took a whopping 2 minutes! Need to work a bit on coming out calmly, but I'm otherwise happy with the progress!
Have a great weekend all!

Hi, all! Faye, I looked a videos of Pilates and thought "whoo-boy, maybe not for me!". Of course, it was advanced but looked really scary for someone with not much in the way of core strength I'm glad you like those recipies. You might also want to try Mark Hyman's Blood Sugar Solution Cookbook. This is the detox diet I did a few years ago, and even though I couldn't keep up with the diet, I did like some of the recipies. Southwind was from my teacher; I'll scan and send you a copy (I think I have your email address). Libby, happy B-day! Sounds like you're going to have a good day celebrating...and Horse Monopoly sounds like a blast! Have you ever played Liebrary? It's for readers and can be quite a hoot! Barb, hope you get in a ride today after Upreach. Hopefully this new shop will have better sales...you should totally be out-selling glass people! Dutch, that fact that you're getting Ally into the trailer should be a cause for celebration! As you say, the QUALITY is a work in progress Amy, I also like your horse stories...it brings back memories of showing...I did love showing...sigh. Hi to Beth...how are the baby Osprey's doing? No word back, no emails, phone calls...nothing re: the garage. I guess it will be on hold for another couple of weeks. As of tomorrow, it will be 4 months. I went to the pool yesterday, no one there. One of the regulars had just got out and was going into the hottub, but I had the pool to myself. Of course, it was cold and overcast and drippy, but even in winter there was usually SOMEone there Quite nice though, until the foot cramp Today will walk to local vet to pick up kitty refill. I'm now down 7lbs. Kind of excited but trying not to think about it too much...that's usually when I get cocky thinking I can have a huge dessert for a few days in a row with no after effects...Ha! Cathy

Hi all, Had my WI this morning and I am not doing well. I am disappointed in myself but have started AGAIN to track. I don't want to put the weight back on and I don't want to give up. Remember when we used to write Tracking Yes on our posts if we were tracking. I think I want to go back to that again. I also want to start weighing myself every day. I don't WI at home at all and I think I need to keep better track.
time to go paint.

Tracking -yes Cathy-I'm with you CATHY-hope the foot cramp is ok. can't believe it's 4 mos with the garage. Thanks for the email. You can start slowly with Pilates. Look up Windsor Pilates. She does lots of basic videos. DUTCH-glad you have the appt coming up so can ask about allergies for DS. It's raining pollen here! eye dr. was great. he had emergency surgery in the AM so it was a long wait but they are all very nice and a big TV and good magazines so at first I was annoyed but he was worth the wail. all was fine. waving to all.

Good evening. I got some sad but expected news last night. One of our old trail riding horse friends passed away last night. She had had lung CA and fought it a long time. Her DH had her cremated and will have a small Memorial service on Monday from 3 to 5. DH and I plan to attend. A lot of memories to be shared from that time period.

Hi, all! Tracking: yes Beth, so sorry for the loss of your friend. It's the memories you hold on to...unique to you and your friend alone. Faye, glad the eye dr went OK, but bummer about the wait. I guess it depends...if they are worth the wait, then cool I will check out Windsor Pilates. Amy, how are the nesting birds doing? A friend built me a box a long time ago and I think I got chickadees, which are pretty prevalent around here. There's a hermit thrush, recently moved into the neighborhood, I can hear it's song...just lovely. Like a glass flute. Hi to all that follow Got in my walk yesterday, kind of cool and drizzly so actually nice. Sun came out late in the day, and the wind has picked up so allergies are just crazy! I'm officially on vacation so did my errands, and this afternoon will work on the polyurethaning the bathroom cabinets, first coat. And yes, Faye, I will have a couple of fans going and the air filter to hopefully keep the stink down Cathy

tracking-yes but going to be over
CATHY-good luck with the cabinets.
hot here. got 2 geraniums(should have gotten 4) ; got pole things for the peonies (too tall, DH had to cut them down for the peonies but it seems to be working) tied up the daffodil leaves so it looks nicer.
DUTCH-any more trailer training with Ally? LIBBY- are you at harp camp or Monopoly so somewhere with DD or was that last weekend. Anyway, hope you are having fun BETH-sorry about your riding friend. not easy. BARB-hope things are selling. FB page looks great AMY-how are the bannisters? did you paint them? how's it going
waving to all > HAGD Tomorrow brunch from the Temple

Good Morning- Faye - that is funny about the shop & "a bit!" the shop is in a "planned" shopping outdoor "mall" of sorts with a bavarian theme (hence the name "Salzburg Square") Years ago it was filled & "the" place to go- but sadly over the years shops left & now they are trying to revitalize it -there are only about 8 shops there now -all newish -but about 8-10 empties -so it's a rebuilding process. There was a small turn out (it is kind of out of sight out of mind spot) but we are hoping for growth. I sold one piece -several people said when it was holiday time they would be back......since i am on consignment there i can keep stuff for a while to see how it grows.
Didn't ride Friday -too tired after Upreach -Dee & I did go out yesterday -today we are going to Boston w/ friends for lunch then a show -don't know the name -they had extra tickets so we are going -it's going to be a hot day . And tomorrow & tuesday -if i ride it will be very early -8ish -.
Beth -sorry about your friend. Amy -I understand about the weight issue -while I am mostly ok w/ where I am -I'd love to drop those 10 and keep them off Dutch- yes, getting her on the trailer is a big thing -so keep up the good work. Cathy- sounds like a good project for bathroom -clear or tinted? Great about WL! Hope kitty is ok . Libby -how is Lucy doing?
Off to take Tundra to park for a quick outing before we head to Boston -HAGD - RIDE if you can - keep cool -

tracking- sort of. most of the day. Guess that doesn't really count but at least didn't call the day a loss and if tracked prob. only over by a few. did a lot of gardening so probably ok.
CATHY-congrats on the WL!! how did the polyurethaning go? any swimming or hiking today? BARB-how is DF doing? hope the "mall" can pick up speed again. enjoy the show whatever it is. Will you meet up with Judy? have you heard from her? I FBed msged but haven't heard back. BETH-how is DH's teaching going? does he like doing it? DUTCH-any more fence building? AMY-I need to get better with tracking but hard on the weekends.
waving to LIbby and ATF HAGD

Barb; I still have a vivid memory of the last time I saw my dad driving down the road. He was going really slow and had about 6 cars behind him, cute/sad memory. I hope you guys can tackle that one safely. Beth; so sorry about your friend. Amy; I'm not really tracking, although I should be counting carbs instead of in my head-writing down on my phone. So I'll join, when I say tracking, it will mean carbs Faye; I think I would like Pilates better than yoga. I'll look up that person you referred Cathy to. Dutch; you could give him some allergy medication (talk to doc first) and see if he gets better. That's a good way/easy way to tell. Cathy; glad you got the pool to yourself. Let's see I've been doing the kitchen since December, so 6 months, you garage has been 4 - Ugh!! Didn't get to the symphony, the crew was here till 5 and it just didn't work out Didn't get the nice dinner either. We are going to bar-b-que steaks for dinner tonight to make up for it-celebrating our anniversary today! 23 years! second marriages for both of us. Had a blast with dd on our birthdays, thanks for the good wishes everyone!!

www.amazon.com/Mari-Winsor-Beginners-Pilates/dp/B007VB8V7U/ref=sr_1_9?ie=UTF8&qid=1497210347&sr=8-9&keywords=windsor+pilates the above is a link to a beginner Mari Windsor Pilates DVD . I have her more accelerated DVDs because I had done classes but to be honest, the things you do in pilates are basically the same to get started. I do the leg and ab series before doing fancier stuff and on the reformer it's just the same exercises pretty much but with resistance. she was big with celebrities as I recall. I thought her DVDs were easy to follow and nicely done. LIBBY-glad you had a blast with DD and BBQ is a lovely anniversary dinner. Congrats. DUTCH-if you do give DS allergy med be care about being sleepy. BARB-Hate to say but the arguement to that logic is you don't want DF driving into someone else. She may be willing to be in the car but it's not safe for others. I think the biggest source of accidents is people falling asleep at the wheel. waving to all HAGD
