What a weekend!!! We took the kids to their swimming lessons, then went bike riding, and finally for a hike along the river. This more or less does a triathlon for the kids... LOL, swim, bike and hike!

I ended up with 11829 steps, about 10 miles of riding.

Then last night I walked around the neighborhood, to get the sitting and driving 8 hours out of my system. Only 6064 steps for Sunday.

I have dabbled on and off with yoga for years, but have recently decided to get serious. I am working my way through the beginner series of videos on doyogawithme.com and will start video #5 today, which is the second of a lesson about proper breathing. So far, the videos have done lots of stretching, the sun salutation and downward facing dog among others. I feel so good afterwards and I am really noticing a difference in how my knee is feeling (less stiff and stronger). Once I get through this beginners series, I am going to do their 30 day yoga challenge (beginners version; they also have intermediate and advanced, but I'm not ready for that yet).

Besides the yoga, I've been walking every day and going up and down the stairs as much as I can manage which is also helping my knee.

Went for a trail run on Saturday and about 5 minutes from the end went down with a severe sprained ankle. It's all swollen and turning pretty colours, I heard a snap when I did it so I have an appt with my physio to check it out. It isn't broken but he can tell me how severe the sprain is and when I can go back running - the all important question

Beefmaster (large variety)80 day Indeterminant 2. Better Boy (large variety)75 day Indeterminant 3. Celerbrity (medium-large variety)72 day determinant 4. Moreton Hybrid F1 (small-medium variety)70 day indeterminant (Harris Seed Co exclusive) 5. Jet Star (small-medium variety) 75 day indeterminant (low acid?)(Harris Seed Co.) 6. Supersonic (medium size)78 day indeterminant (Harris Seed Co.) All these tomatoes are similar in taste and texture when grown in the soil where I live. Its a clay base heavy soil. I use peat moss and worm castings as soil amendiments. No chemicals. I water with treated Lake Onterio Water and of course rain. I have had no disease problems to speak of and am luckey so far. My wife as she processes the harvest she mixes all the different up. what she grabs is whats in the jar/freezer bag. larry

Marji, A new home with a dedicated sewing studio! Lucky you!! Calliope, When I do a Depression Block, I like to have a distinct light and dark between the 2 sides. It seems to make the pattern 'pop' better. But, there are times a muted look is desired, too. Lois, Your turtles are so cute! And, they're green....watch out, Beverly might snag them. lol You're welcome, Bobby. Glad you like them and they are useful......I like that they're clear and I can see what's in them. :-) TG/Linda, Can't believe you're running out of things to work on. How about doing a reverse redwork project? Donna, It makes me so frustrated when something like that happens......don't want it to get the best of me and it looks like you're the same way. I. Will. Get. This. Right! lol I'm doing a grid on this quilt and using the blue painter's tape. It's working out pretty well. I just might be able to get it up there before the shower after all......maybe. :-) SharonG/FL

Sandra, looking forward to seeing a pic. Sue, I Skyped with DD with morning and she seems to be enjoying the warmer temps.:) Ritaweeda, sounds like we have the same experience. It took forever to get rid of everything we moved to the new house that I didn't want anymore....I guess it is an ongoing activity really. I still feel like my house is "new" after nine years and am still putting things up on the walls. Like you, I like a sparser wall. Off to do some yard work on this lovely weekend, Bible study tonight. I definitely want to get to the sewing room and finish the top for DD's depression block quilt. Then it would be fun to see if I could pull enough fabric for the falling charms throw for the family room.....or sew together the quickie wall hanging from another Lotto winning....or maybe do both. (Obviously I've had too much coffee...shouldn't have made the second pot. LOL) I'll try and post pics I received from my sister of the two quilts in the old cedar chest she inherited.

I sat yesterday while watching football and cut up 2 and 2.5 inch squares from some small scraps. I am almost to the bottom of a huge tote of scraps. Just cutting the scraps up into manageable pieces in the sizes that I use. If nothing else, I can sew 4 patches as leader enders. I hope to work on my grandson's quilt today some. I am preparing for my second hamstring repair surgery by getting the house in order. I hope this one goes as well as the last. We have set the surgery date for November 12. A month earlier than estimated from the beginning, but the surgeon is very pleased with my progression. I am not looking forward to being on a walker/crutches for another 6 weeks, but I am looking forward to having it fixed. We are having a potluck at work tomorrow. We do an all day potluck. So I am making individual frittatas for breakfast and making mushrooms stuffed with sausage and cream chease for the rest of the day. We have some sterno tables we store in our break room for these potlucks. I also have a veggie tray with hummus to take. We usually have a half dozen tables full of food. Crockpots, room temp foods and foods that require icepacks around them. LOL It's just a big pig fest.

Dh has a knee injury, he slipped on wet rocks doing a stream crossing a week before. So he only wants to "walk" and it has to be flat. He's lifting weights too. We're doing 4-5 mile walks.
