As promised….
The winners for last week are--drumroll, please--Marie Jones and Brenda Miller. (Brenda is no relation, by the way. 🙂 ) Comment on, my friends--your turn to win is bound to roll around one of these days!
Me oh my
I know I wrote a blog last week, on Tuesday in fact, announcing the then-current contest winners, but Super-Jen has pointed out that it was never posted. YIKES. Once again, cyberspace has eaten my words. (Or, and this is more likely, I simply thought I'd hit that...
Today….
September 11. We will never forget--nor should we try. So many innocent people lost their lives on that terrible day, and they deserve to be remembered, in solemn respect, on this anniversary and always. That said, I, for one, will not be watching the endless loops...
Good-bye, Ms. Rivers
I will miss Joan Rivers. Okay, no, I wasn't a fan of her more graphic stage material, but I was and am a MAJOR fan of Ms. Rivers herself. Talk about chutzpah, talk about courage. Her career took at least one nose-dive. She went broke. She lost her husband to...
A cold morning
On this sunny Labor Day morning, when Bernice and I went out for an after-breakfast stroll, I actually needed a coat! Amazing, given the days and weeks of almost unrelenting heat we've been experiencing in and around Spokane. I love that crisp snap in the air that...
How high’s the water, Mama? or So this is Friday…
(With nods to my late friend, the one and only Johnny Cash, and to John Lennon, whom I never met, unfortunately. And he was my favorite Beatle, too.) Virtual Linda's water is, presently, at thigh level--two feet high and risin' 🙂 As for the Friday-ness, well, as...
Hydrated to my shins and other news
Hey, some days I come up with better topics than others. 🙂 Today's blog title refers to my newest toy, an iPhone app called WaterMinder, as I believe I mentioned on Monday. Interestingly, I've taken to downing a couple of big glasses of H2O before I even have my...
There’s an app for that…
Before I start in on today's main topic, here are last week's winners: Marguerite Guinn and Cathy Dixon. (Your prizes are on their way as we speak--Jen just left for the post office.) As always, the new round is up and running, so be sure to comment. Eventually,...
Good News at Weight Watchers and other pertinent (?) remarks
I weighed in on Wednesday and, I'm happy to say, I was DOWN two big ones! YES! I've been knocking around in a four-pound range, gaining and losing, for a month. From what I hear at meetings, this is typical. So, anyway, I am definitely happy about this particular...
Winners and….I’m baaaaack!
Whoop-de-do, I'm back. I'm myself again. My doctor took me off my ADD meds and the fog has lifted--hallelujah! Our winners, who should have been announced yesterday, are Kim Rudisill and Darlene Holley. Apologies and congratulations, ladies. As soon as you've...
Weight Watchers Report, Etc.
This morning I was down 1.2 pounds, so I'm happy. 🙂 Last evening, while Bernice and I were returning from our walk, I caught a glimpse of red on some tomato plants over by the greenhouse--yeehaw! I scored some nice ones, and carried them back to the house. Made a...
