Good Morning/Afternoon! Glad you found an RV park that may work well, Kathleen. I have only been to IKEA a couple of times, but I really enjoyed shopping there. Didn't buy much of anything, but as DH would say, "I got ideas...." Good luck with your drive back home and with your busy weekend. Hope your DH's new job is going well.
You have certainly been through the ringer with your plumbing issues, LindaR. Hope there are no more unexpected expenses like that, and you can get back to more normal.
Hope the doctor can help with your leg weakness, snicks. I always thought I would like stretchy jeans, but I have found they put way too much stretch in sometimes. That results in jeans gradually falling down during the day, which can be very uncomfortable.
Quiet day planned here, and I'm very happy about that. Work yesterday went well, but there were a few complications since we had many extra on the salad bar where I was working. I went to my alternate fitness center, and used a different elliptical machine. I always get my heart rate up and sweat on those machines, but for the first five minutes or so, I could not figure out how to change the settings for incline and effort, and it turns out that I had both very high. So, I was concerned that I would do some harm to myself until I figured out how to reduce both to my "normal" levels. Wow! DH was a bit out of it yesterday afternoon, but we struggled through things. I really hate dementia.
Cooking day today? Another temptation-free day for me since I have way too many kitchen items/dinnerware, etc. already.
Our walk went fine this morning except for a few threatening dogs (barking and lunging) -- no harm done, thank goodness. Your dog story was horrible, twinny.
The large saguaro cactus in next door neighbor's front yard suddenly fell down yesterday. I don't know why since there was no rain, etc. These are new neighbors, and I had puzzled about how to get in touch with them since they are back in Oklahoma or someplace. But, a landscape guy showed up and made quick work of the cactus. I tried to talk to the man, but I don't think he understood English or at least I didn't understand his English if that was what he was speaking. Very efficient worker, and I would like help with trimming a bush or two.
Waves to Jean (working today!), Arlene, twinny, Bernie, Rosa, Marijane, Susan, Karen (thinking of you), Charlene, Barbara, pinky ann, Gayle, and all of our posters and readers.
Have a great day everyone!
Hugs,
Linda

Hi ladies, hope everyone is doing ok today.
Thanks RC for starting us off today. I have never been to an IKEA, but have heard of the store and would go to one just to look, if there was one around here. How long is your drive home? I am sure you have lots to do. It would be kind of fun to have a new city to explore. Glad you found a nice place to live.
LL, yes, I am hoping for 'something' when I see the doc next month, not sure what, lol. I may change doctors, haven't really decided for sure if I think anything we are currently doing is helping me, or not helping me. I too dislike the too stretchy jeans, wish they all would not put so much in them. But the ones I ordered last night I had also gotten a pair of in the early spring and they were ok, until they just were too big for me. I am down 3 sizes from when I retired, so this needs to stop. Lol re: too many hands on the salad bar yesterday, that can make it more complicated than less people. Glad you got the elliptical machine adjusted before you hurt yourself. So sorry you & DH had a bad afternoon yesterday, hope today is better for you both. I don't need anything for the kitchen either, I am overflowing with kitchen ware now. I used to hold big dinners fairly often, but only once or twice a year now, so don't need so many things now. I hate when dogs are like that, it is scary. Your neighbors must have known somehow that the cactus fell down, but that was quick having someone there to take care of it. Sorry you could not communicate with the landscaper. Hope you find someone to take care of your bushes. I agree with kittyfan, you seem to be a very strong lady and you do not walk alone.
It is a cool morning/afternoon here and I got outside early and worked within the pool area, got a large portion done, now the rest seems manageable. If it stays cool I may make it all the way around the pool in the next few days. Our pool is inground, 18' x 36' and has a large area fenced with lots of plants, etc., that all needs weeded and spruced up, getting a bit tired looking. I haven't spent any time in this area since early spring, so it was past time to work there.
Have a great day everyone.
