Good Saturday to all.  I'm slow in getting here.  ML and I opted to not go to the Art Fair, today.  It's been raining steadily all day.  We can go tomorrow if we wish when the weather is supposed  to be clear.  I know this was the right choice as I received a call from my cousin's wife in SC who has been going thru a lot since April.  She had some hopeful news to share with me so I'm glad I was home to take the call.

Mary Lou sorry for the delayed trip.  Hope you have a fun time to make up for that. 

Yes QB, that was my recipe contribution.  I'm glad you like it.   I haven't made it for a long time but shall do so soon.   

We had a good time with our small group, yesterday.  I got a "dog" fix with the resident canine, a 12 yrs old shih zhu.  He even slept on my lap for a bit.  There was also a  cat who walked around, looked each of us over and sauntered out, not to be seen again.  Guess none of us passed his criteria.    He was a  large tortoiseshell male with startling green eyes. 

Supper tonight is grilled kielbasa and l/o potato salad and cantaloupe.

CHERYL seems like both you and I have similar problems, my kidneys are also bad, not needing dialysis, but probably will in the future, keeping hydrated and being careful is all we can do, I also have osteoporosis - but the injections help as does the exercise, just saw my Dr on Friday, he was really happy, kidney function had improved from last visit - I wasn't drinking enough water, he also checked my head, and agreed that I didn't need anything other than sympathy. He understood that it was pain that cased the accident, and we have a plan for the gastro guy for early next year for a colonoscopy, not needed just yet - unless I have another attack of diverticulosis. Then I need to get it done ASAP, At least I get to loose some weight and get a good sleep after the no sleep the night before LOL

SANDRA that mac and cheese sounds good, I do like having a crunchy top, I use potato chips (crisps?) and a sprinkle of cheese, adds some lovely crunch doesn't  it? I'll have to try INDY's Recipe

DEVONNE that was close for your weight, good work!! We also like Alaska but the scenery in Canada in the Rockies was spectacular. We were very lucky with clear weather.

INDY good idea to miss the show if the weather is not good, you wouldn't  have enjoyed the getting there, we had rain yesterday too, just very light AND annoying, it was cold too, we have all been commenting that we haven't had any zero temps this winter it feels cold but the wind has made it so,  it's actually  been a warm winter for us. Guess that means a HOT summer

I had dinner with my friend Joyce and her TaiChi group, they were all lovely, but too much food, they decided to get the banquet menu for everyone, at least 6 main dishes plus the starters, then fried ice cream, and then the master had bought a cake, it was watermelon flavoured, never heard of such a thing, it was sweet, but very nice flavour, it was his birthday in June and the TaiChi birthday in late July so he wanted to celebrate it all, he sat at our table mostly and he was a lot of fun. He's only young, 36 last birthday, and he is so excited about everything and happy !

I am tired, it wasn't a late night but we didn't eat till late and then I was too full to sleep when I got home, There was lots of take away containers left, I didn't want any, nether did Joyce, we think the master took our table leftovers, he said he's always hungry

I heard from Ashley, she tried something else, but it didn't work, I have no idea how to sign in with my email, so I couldn't use her login. I will keep trying
