Hi, everyone!
Well, in typical style here at camp, it drizzled at night and a bit ghis morning, but it's all sunny now! The girls have headed out to hike the Cup and Saucer trail, then off to the Bridal Veil falls, about a 1/2 hr from here, we're just relaxing.
@walkonby , yes, it was SO nice to finally meet her ThBay friend, we snuck up on them at the beach and I just flipped out DD's hat off her, lol....later they played right through the game, Mexican Train....such a fun, non-thinking game! We visited for a while in the evening, then left them to visit together.
Sorry I can't seem to "like" anyone whikt here, so weird.
@cabmonk , great food choices! It's how we should all eat, except of course I'd need butter on those veggies, but thank goodness that doesn't contribute to cholesterol....at our age that would have been a problem.
Enjoy your Saturdays, everyone!!! I hope you all get some real relaxation this weekend!

Hi folks! Dropping in to say hello.
Doing little "catch-up " things today -trying to stay off my feet. I have tried my mother's old remedy of a poultice of sugar and soap on my ingrown toenail to try to draw out the infection. We'll see. It hurts l"Like the Bilio" as my dad used to say. I can't get it seen-to until next Friday.
Have made some calls and done some laundry and tended to my plants somewhat. Some nasty critter was digging in my newly -planted aloe plants and knocked one of the pots off the table-smash!
It's "Hide your nuts" time, I guess.😉
It's a beautiful day if somewhat humid. I have been doing some soul-searching and enjoying my alone time to think.
Well, enjoy your day, whatever it holds.

@avoncallingu I hope you get some relief soon from your ingrown toe nail. My great grandmother would make a poultice with sugar ,turmeric,water and flour and it works to draw out the infection.

Good morning, happy Sunday!
Dare I say that I am cold in the house? What a change! Night was rough for me with the sciatica really being painful in my left leg.
Nurse came yesterday. My 💓 is 43, so no change there.
Good news on another front, though. I was able to go back to compression stockings. It was so nice having nekkid legs overnight!
Our son was over yesterday, and continued helping with going through boxes from the basement, loading a lot of stuff up in his truck for garbage. It's such a huge help for us that he is helping with this!
Hope you all have a lovely day!

Hello, everyone!
Back from camp, what a perfect weekend with 'the girls'...they hiked the 16km trail (trail? climbing walls also!), they dropped by for coffee and tea this morning, then went off the the big flea market, then invited us over for another visit, which we did, then left there about 1pm. Such wonderful girls!
@cabmonk, I just re-read your menu, and I don't see much in the way of protein there.....I hope you're getting enough, Hon!
@flemeth, entertaining's a blast, but oiy, the clean-up; even when people offer to clean we feel obliged to say, "No thank you, it's fine.", when it's really not fine at all. I hope you got through it today.
@avoncallingu, eek, sorry to hear that your toe is still such a bother, another week to wait?! That's so long when you're in so much pain. Hope that poutice works!
So...."soul-searching", huh? What'd you find?
@Natalka, nice to hear you got some relief from that nasty heat I've heard about on tv this weekend out there! What a scorcher! I also heard it's supposed to settle into a normal mid-20s range for you this week..hope so!
Well, I hope I caught up on your posts....I think I've convinced (ie: whined long enough) my DH to fix us up with wifi at our trailer; I tried to download a book while there, and couldn't do it. Of course, with visiting the girls this weekend there wasn't much time for reading anyway.
Enjoy your Sunday, everyone; I hope it's sunny and beautiful where you are, too!Last edited by Lynn49; Sun, Aug 12th, 2018 at 03:38 PM.

Well, after going to church this morning, went to lunch with some friends. Two of them are flying to Italy tonight until Sept. 1. I am so wishing that was my agenda.
When I got home, I was taking off my bandage to soak my foot and ripped the skin under my toe-blood everywhere! It was looking very inflamed-even purplish so I arranged for BrotherR to come over to dogs it and here I sit in the local ER. Just don't fool around with infected toes.
2.5 hr. wait to see a doctor or practitioner.
Little girl with what they are calling "secondary drowning."
Another little boy with vomiting and diarrhea whose mother is complaining that he is ruining her birthday.
If I get out of here with only an infected toe, it will be a miracle.
I'm not touching ANYTHING!
Poor sick crying babies everywhere!

Difficult to "Like" that, @avoncallingu , but you're in a good place, now stay put! Poor kiddlings, exp that "mother" who's complaining the poor child is ruining her b'day! I just hate hearing things like that!!! There are couples who'd give anything to have a little one and treat it with so much love...why do the damn b*tches get knocked up!?!
I hope they can do something for you, and although it'll be pretty difficult to go through, poor kid, it'll be all over but the healing!!
{{{hugs}}}...keep in touch, Hon...

Thanks for your concern, Lynn! Dr. basically said, you're doing the right thing -soak it, used anti-inflamatories and polysporin and don't wear pointy shoes. Ha! I think I was in grade 13 the last time I wore pointy shoes. My father used to call them "Winkle -Pickers" cause they were so pointy that you could use them to pick winkles (like oysters) out of their shells.
No deep set infection so good old time and care. As Lynn knows, I have a few commitments this week which could be hard to work around.
I do have a very nice story to tell about the ER though. It was about 5:30 and I was pretty hungry so I went over to the dispensing machines. One young man kindly informed me that I shouldn't waste my money on the pop machine as a bottle was stuck and the mechanism couldn't move.
Then I was looking over the "sandwich and snack machine." Nothing much left and what there was didn't look very appealing. I finally decided on a turkey club wrap that was $5.00. Now the pop machine took credit cards, but this one did not. So here I was trying to juggle my purse, my wallet, and my back-rest. I had a $20 bill but the machine wasn't accepting it. Anot her kind young man saw me and tried to help, but we concluded that it just didn't have enough change to give me back. I was standing trying to get "re-assembled" when he came over and offered me the $5 in change and helped me to get the sandwich. I thanked him very much for his generous help. He said, "That's ok, we all live in Canada." He was a Muslim and the other fellow was a Sihk. In that waiting room, there were Old order Mennonites, Russian-speaking people, black couples, natives, old people, babies, teens,orientals, white people, and I thought, he's right! This place is a microcosm of Canada. Made me smile!
