Well, ladies, I need to start my day. I will have to try and catch up a little later on. I miss all of you and hope to have more time soon. We have been busy with having a front patio addition done. It is finally almost complete except for a few minor touches. I have been busy working out and am now dealing with a knee injury as a result. I am down almost 20 lbs. The time that I used to spend on tpf has been spent walking the hills in my area. Right now I am sidelined. I have to make a doctors appointment today because it has been five days and my knee is still swollen. It didn't stop me from going to a play yesterday with friends. I wore my RJ Kelly.IMG_9407.JPG IMG_9413.JPG

The Apple watch is supposed to be thinner and to have a better battery life. I am going to go and see it tomorrow. I am thinking of replacing my old one if that is the case. I love my watch but the battery dies half way through the day if I have been working out. It was fine when I was sedentary but having a sports watch should enable you to use it and not have it die while working out.

That's good to know, Meg. Thank you. :smile:

Wow, Meg... you look amazing!!! But I'm so very sorry to hear about your knee. Do keep us posted on what the doctor says.
I've been back to walking by Monterey Bay (my knee is so much better now than it was before the surgery) and I've lost 17 pounds since last January. I've been taking in waistbands like crazy, but I'm afraid to have professional alterations done in case the weight comes back on. I'll give it until next January, and then we'll see.
I've also gone back to doing Tai Chi, which I used to do every day before I was diagnosed with RA, and it really helps with my energy levels.

I got the iPhone 7. I had the 6+ which was just too big for me to comfortably carry. Otherwise, I probably would have waited as there was nothing wrong with my phone except it wasn't holding a charge as well as it should. I am very happy with my new phone. I used DH's upgrade since I wasn't due until next month. When he is ready for a new phone I will let him use mine.

Meg, it's good to hear from you!
Our whole family was able to updgrade, and did so, even though I thought we were all happy. Without upgrading, IOS 10 has some neat things, like fireworks, moving balloons, that you can add to messages, if the recipient has IOS 10. It helped to have a 21 yr old son to tell us how to use it. If anyone needs the easy tutorial, let me know!

Well.....unfortunately, things have gone into the proverbial crapper since the summer. Two weeks ago, Oreo, my sweet, handsome, gentle sheltie, stopped eating. I ran him to the vet who ran the gamut of tests. Seems that Oreo had kidney failure. After 5 days straight of IV fluids, there was no improvement and was getting worse by the minute. I had to put my sweet, little boy, the love of my life, to rest this past Friday. Needless to say, I am more than heartbroken and can't stop the tears.

I am so sorry, so hard to lose our fur family. Thinking of you. Such a beautiful Sheltie.

Purchased these two Hermes scarves in the summer on a whim because of the color mix in the scarves. I almost returned them but the colors which are similar go wonderfully with my clothes. There is only one problem and that is it doesn't seem to be in my DNA to be able to tie a scarf so it looks nice. I will use the larger one as more of a wrap and the smaller one who knows unless I can finally tie something decently.

Oh Oreo I am so sorry to hear this. It is so difficult to lose one of these family members. I hope you broken heart heals soon.

They are both gorgeous, Izzy. I hope you can find some scarf-tying instructions on you tube... it would be such a shame not to wear these!

Love love this gorgeous jacket!
Are these available now in the stores or have I missed my chance? I tried a few years ago to buy one and was told they weren't available. Any suggestions?

Hi. I am so sorry I'm just seeing this now. I never get post updates from tpf anymore. One of the main reasons I don't get here anymore. Anyway, I got the jacket recently and they were still available. Supplies are limited though.
