Hi Everyone! Sorry I didn't post on SUN as I like to do, but my computer was misbehaving & going very slowly, so I just gave up & played games offline. Yesterday was my birthday, & Hubby took me to dinner at Carlos' "Mexican Restaurante", my fave eatery. I had a shrimp, crab & veggie dish that is topped with cheese. I'd never ordered it before & it was so good, & not expensive either. Yes, I'm cheap, LOL! I'm enjoying finally seeing the line on my weight chart going steadily down again, even if it is only a teeny bit at a time. Hubby is laying down for his before work nap, so of course the dogs started barking frantically, as usual. I hushed them, then heard a sound on our front porch that startled me. It was a FedEx delivery, my new sandals that our youngest daughter ordered for me last week. They are Sketchers, & are very comfortable. My skin is very sensitive to rough textures, but the straps on these are covered with soft cloth & don't bother me at all at least so far. I'm wearing them now, just to "break them in" a bit while I'm sitting here so hopefully when I walk in them they'll be partly adjusted to my feet & will stay comfy. We've had a brush fire near here that started Monday night. It has burned over 230 acres so far, but no houses or lives lost thanks to our diligent fire fighters. We've seen helicopters & a renovated WWII bomber plane, flying up & down our creek behind our house, hauling water picked up from the lake down our road, & also some fire retardant to drop onto the fire. I took some good pics & need to get them downloaded onto DVD disks before our SIL changes me over to my new computer, which should happen in the next week or so hopefully. They're busy moving, so this delayed getting my computer ready. It's good to feel excited again about losing weight, I was starting to feel like there was nothing I could do to lose the necessary weight for my hip replacement. Now I'm feeling like "I CAN DO THIS" once again. Thank you all for your encouragement, & may you have a bright & blessed day. ((HUGS)) Glammer

Thank you for your encouragement, Socolova. We aren't in any danger from the fire, since it is about 5 or 6 miles from us & there's a lake & several creeks, plus roads, etc. between us & it. But they're still working to get a good handle on it, & have a long ways to go yet. Thankfully, so far no homes have been lost as far as I've heard. Yesterday's hi temp here was 104! This is not helping either the fire, or the poor firefighters battling the blaze. We've had lots of community support & donations of food, equipment & other help. This does my heart good that our community really comes together in these times. We've had some very bad brush fires through the years, so we all know how devastating they can be, & how quickly the destruction can come, even to those who think they're "safe". Thank you everyone for all of your birthday wishes Deb, StarStar, LMJ114, New Kim & Roses729, I've had an awesome birthday! Dinner with Hubbers on Tuesday wrapped it up for me this year, pun intended, hee hee! I hope you had a wonderful birthday too, StarStar, & belated Happy Birthday to you too! I'm still waiting on my new computer, thinking they'll bring it up to me this SAT, as they plan to visit us then. Wishing you all the best & happiest of days today! Hugs, Glammer :)
