Sherree S.

I sure do appreciate all the fine encouragements sent my way today. Thanks so much, Sara, Michelle, Deborah, Lamoine, Pat, Kaye, & Robert.

My weight is not my worth. I'll weigh in, though, tomorrow morning at Weight Watchers.

I'm wiped out from watching Maisie today.

Enjoy your evening, Peeps!

Thanks so much for the encouragement today, Robert, Sara, Lamoine, Deborah, Pat, Sally, Kimberly, & Kaye.

There are so many different textures of snacks that I like -- sometimes crunchy, sometimes chewy, sometimes creamy, sometimes gooey. I've been craving caramel lately (apples!). I can't think of anything that would replace caramel that wouldn't also be fattening (peanut butter). I think it's best if I just steer clear of snacking.

It was a Maisie day and a busy day. I dropped my car off for repairs this morning so I won't have a car for a few days. That's okay because I have plenty going on at home. Today I hired someone to thin out my hostas and my day lilies. I tried to do it myself, but it was just too hard for me to handle. Also, I had a new dining room set delivered. I put it together with a little bit of help from my son-in-law.

My daughter and family are moving on Friday and I wanted to give her my old table. So, now I have a nice new one. It's pretty fancy. But now I want new other things. You know how that goes.

Hope you're all having a great day.

I sure do appreciate finding a bunch of encouragements in my inbox. Thanks so much, Sally, Deborah, Sara, Robert, Pat, Nirmala, & Melvin.

Here's my vegetable recipe: buy a bag of frozen veggies, put some on a plate and cover, then microwave for a few minutes. Voila! If I buy fresh, my produce rots before I get to it.

I don't do fancy cooking. I would like to hire a cook, housekeeper, and gardener. I can offer room and board.

Today after church we had our once a month covenant group meeting. We had a great time discussing our book and catching up. The meeting was the same time as the Vikings/Packers game. I did get home in time to watch most of the 2nd half. I was sorry to see that Aaron Rodgers is out for the season. The Vikings won.

Getting ready for a busy week ahead. Enjoy your evening, Friends!

I sure appreciate your encouragement today, Sara, Lamoine, Pat, Deborah, Sally, & Robert.

I took this picture when I was on the boat for my recognition dinner. It was a gorgeous night.

For my exercise today, I did some gardening and some housework. I have a roomba, a dishwasher, and a washing machine. The rest I did by hand. I'd like to hire someone to do these things for me, but ALAS, I have no money.

My church had a craft fair today. As far as craft fairs go, it's pretty tame. However!
We have a Vietnamese congregation within our church and at events they sell egg rolls. The egg rolls are delicious with flaky crusts, etc. I was alone (as always) and the couple who makes the egg rolls invited me to sit at their table to eat them. Then, the woman gave me some of the noodles that she made for their lunch. They were delicious. It's funny how welcomed I felt in my own church.

Feeling the love today.

Enjoy your evening, y'all!

Happy Friday the 13th! I hope you've all had a safe day. Thanks to my encouragers, Robert, Sara, Karen, Nirmala, Deborah, Sally, & Pat.

In theory, using a smaller plate is a great idea. In reality, I would probably need to refill it several times because I would know i was getting cheated out of the portions to which I am accustomed to. I know. I know that the portion sizes in this country are way out of whack, and I know that we would be healthier if we ate less food. But. Winter is coming and I'm having some sort of mental health crisis and I need my food. Just for now.

It was a Maisie day. We went to Target. It's fun how much people like babies. Normally people don't just come up to me and start talking, but it happens all the time now that Maisie is with me. Babies just brighten up the darkest days. I bought her shoes, but she didn't like the feel of them on her feet when she stood in them. I can relate.

Enjoy your evening, Folks!

My encouragers lift me up! Thanks so much, Sara, Robert, Lamoine, & Sally.

I'm not much of one to drink sugary drinks. I do drink beverages with artificial sweeteners and I know that they have their own horrible side effects, but I am a true and utter addict.

I'm on here a bit early today. I just had my annual physical. I'm doing well for an old woman. Got my flu shot, too.

Yesterday, I scraped up my car on the side of my house. I am the world's worst backer-upper. The other side was scraped up from me backing into my gate earlier this summer. So, I stopped for an estimate on the repairs. It's not that bad, considering. However, I need to find a rental car so I can drop off my car for painting.

At noon I have a luncheon at church. This nature guy is going to give a lecture about bears. I have an affinity for bears, so I'm excited. I went to his talk about birds last year. He writes books and you can buy signed copies after the talk.

Tonight, I go for a Recognition Dinner on a boat. It's for my work with the National Park Service. I might freeze to death, but other than that, it should be fun.

Wishing you all a beautiful Thursday!
