Hi Cat, how are you today. I bet that you are feeling a lot better now that you have your room booked! When are you leaving for your vacation. I bet you are excited. Are you going to visit your daughter?
What kinds of things are you planning to do on your trip? I bet that you are excited! I hope that everything goes smoothly for you and that you have a wonderful time.
I hear that California is is beautiful heavenly place. Are you planning on having a cat sitter for the kitties while you are gone. Hope you are having a nice weekend. Here the weather is beautiful. I am enjoying it. I am supposed to do walking and it is sure nice for it to so lovely, not hot or humid and there is a nice breeze. They are putting in a lot of new flowering bushes now so the nieghborhood looks great. Take care and have a nice weekend. Lots.

Good Morning,Cat. The bed felt so good I stayed there. Running behind. We get heave thunder et al but very little rain. I still have to water. My BG 108. How were your readings? I hope good. Going to foot dctor at 1 last time I walked out as he had 7 ahead f me. This time I will have to stay as a callous on my big toe has cracked open. There is always something. How is Jim doing? Give him my best. Russ doing better. You should see the two of us on walkers...no crashes yet. Tom comes tonight so Reed's Diner will be open. Take good care both of you. I care. HUGS,Reed

Hello Cat. I forget to tell you Chico,the cat gave me a big cupcake for mu birthday. He loves rolling on my rugs. We had a nice day of gentle rain. We sure needed it. For some reason I culd not sleep. Woke up at 3 could not get back so got up and did the Birthdays. Mu BG 109. I will take it. How are you and Jim doing? I hope well. You still run low? Did you get any rain? The A/C manis here checking my unit to get it ready for summer..if you ask me I think we all ready have had summer. Have a great day. HUGS.Reed

Thanks Cat! I'm really hoping you make it to the event in June!

hi cat, my bread turned out horrible. first, I should never make it on such a humid day. then I let the first rise, which is 5 hours, go too long, and I messed up on a couple of other things, it's very tempermental (sp?) I guess that's why more people don't make it. just makes me determined to understand everything that goes into it. I can make a regular sandwich loaf in my sleep, it's been almost a year now since we bought any store-bought. getting ready for the quilt show this weekend. I'm doing some demos, I'll be there all day Sat and Sun. we only do this every other year, it's how we make our money for programs, speakers, and to give out scholarship money.

Cat! Chair yoga is great! ioften do the chair with my ladies at the retirement home. Shame its only 12 hour. I do 1 1/2 hour and include meditation, etc. Please keep me in the loop for the Philly gig. I never go to philly but would consider a train from Wilminton for the day if possible? I dont get these updates for some reason? Send me your e mail so I can tell you funny cat stories and forward some PD info I often see for you.

Have a great day!

Good Morning Cat. 85 so far does not feel too bad. Thank you and Jim for the very nice birthday card. It was very thoughtful. I am getting loads of emails from former students. One from the class of 1969 sent a beautiful floral arrangement all small orchids. Lightning all last night no thunder no rain. Russ is on his walker watering the plants. TOPS tomorrow. White Elephant Sale, I have 3 bags of stuff. We use the money to help the people who got to the TOPS State Convention. BG 102. Hope you both are doing well. HUGS,Reed

thanks for the welcome

Hello all thanks for the welcome......hacksaw23

Our weekend was good with the exception of my stomach not feeling good Sunday. Everyday is different. The shower was very nice. Maggiano's in Cherry Hill. They are having a little girl. I need to get started planting in my flower beds too. Have been just concentrating on the veggie garden.Hope your weekend was really nice.

Thanks for the welcome! It's great to see such caring and thoughtful people on this site.

Hi again, I saw this T-Shirt and thought of you, I think that you would look adorable in it Lots.

Hi Cat, how are you today? Happy Mother's Day! Do you have any special plans at all? It is so beautiful here that it is almost magical. We have been so lucky with the weather lately, it really lifts my spirits.
I have not been on the computer lately because I am having some trouble with my thyroid, and they missed catching it in the blood tests, so I have some uncomfortable symptoms, and one is carpal tunnel, especailly in my left hand, which is really having an effect on my typing. Hopefully with the medication change it will get better soon, but I am seeing the doctor tomorrow to find out.
I hope that you are doing well. Isn't it fun to have new flowers planted? I love all the annuals, what color impatients did you get? I think that I have had lupine before and didn't know it, thought that it was lavender! Well, I hope that you have a wonderful day. I am glad that your kitties are behaving themselves, I guess that means that sometimes they don't? I am wondering what kind of antics that they pull on you!
Suri is so good most of the time. She only gets in trouble if we leave the wastebasket where she can get it, but that is mostly us forgetting to put it away when we leave, then she will look for something fun to chew. Have a lovely day my friend!


Hi Cat, Been busy all week. Work & PT keep me hopping. Still have some stomach issues. I guess it just takes time. Weather here today is perfect. 78 and a light breeze. Have Samantha for the weekend as Kevin & Jen had a wedding to go to. Will take her home tomorrow.Had dinner with my Mom tonight. Pete working a night shift weekend for QA inspections but sent me flowers. Brian leaving in the morning to give a presentation in San Diego for several days this week.He sent flowers too. Will see Kevin when we take Samantha back.My BS has been great. Can't complain about that. Just wish my stomach would cooperate. See the Dr 0n 5/23 for a post op check, so we'll see what he says. See the Foot Dr 5/30 when I'm done with PT. Hope your PT has helped you and you are feeling well and enjoying this patch of nice weather. Worked in the garden to prepare for some major planting this coming week. Tomatoes, peppers, cukes, corn etc. Have a wonderful Mother's day.

Good I thought it turned out funny and just wanted to share it! LOL!

U have a great Mother's Day too!

oh yes cat, he has done other things too. he got laid off 10 years ago, just before Sept 11. you know no one was hiring after that. so when our health insurance ran out, he got a job selling cars. he could always do that again. at least they provided health ins, that's the BIG thing. but if he didn't sell a car, his paycheck was $31.75 a week. anyway, I would love to meet you too. I'm not sure where they are holding it, I think it's a separate deal from the big expensive conference. I think I'm going to walk around the lake today. good therapy for the bg and my head.

Hello Cat. A nervous day. Russ is seeing the hip doctor, He told me if he needed a hip rep;acement he would do it as he does not want to be tied to a walker. Rember 2 months ago he had a growth on his adrenal gland? We forgot about it. The surgeon did not he called yesterday and Russ sees him May 22. What next. With all the stress I do not know how my BG stays good...BG 104. Still NO RAIN.It is terrible dry.How are you doing? I hope your readings are a little higher. I just baked Brownies. Tom comes tomorrow. My very best to Jim. Have a great day. Hugs,Reed

Hello Cat, I already like it here. Realized that I'm a LADA T1.5DM, and made new friends already. Thanks for the welcoming message!
