@bopper  You are wearing different hats these days.. Hope your DIL is more comfortable now.

 OOFAs- I like them too.. So comfy.. I am wearing a Vionic recovery shoe I bought a year ago- part of my stash shoes!! HA! 

  Not much success with capris.. I did keep one by Baleaf from  Amazon. And I have turned to light wt. hiking pants and got a nice pr.  from Qince which is my new site to explore - reasonable prices. I  may get another pr. -$39.99. I am also looking at a linen pant.. Instead of getting shorter, my bottoms are getting longer!! HA! 

I also ordered an 'As is"  capri from the Q- $19 - Zuda.. if nothing else, I can lounge in them.

 Your DH is doing great...!!! As are you!

 @Dazlin   Skin cancer is so prevalent out here in CO- the intense sun and higher elevation. My fair Irish/ English skin knows that well.   There are lots of good treatments these days.. Keep us updated on her.

 3 miles seems to be a good distance for all of us right now. My wonderful hike was 3.5 with an elevation incline.. Total time was an hour and 45 min, but we sat at the Keyhole( top- what a great mt view) for awhile. My legs weren't sore- but my shoulders were from carrying a pack and hiking sticks.  

Yesterday I walked 2 miles outside plus 2 miles the track at the rec center.

SNOW this morning.. YUP!! it's heavy wet, but not alot so far.  I had planned to get a pedi today.. See how the roads  later today. It's not going to melt today.. in the 30's.

 Have a good weekend.. if you celebrate Easter, enjoy. My son and grandson are coming over for bfast and I have a basket for my GS.

Good evening.  Saw my Ortho Surgeon today and he was happy with my knee.  We talked about my walk and why my knee hurt that night.  He said the swelling in my knee will go down, it just takes time.  Unless I have a problem or concern of some kind, he doesn't need to see me until November.  

Hope everyone had a good day today.  Take care.

Happy Saturday!   I did a 10 minute warmup walk on the tread, then 30 minute of functional strength, that got my HR up!

@violet runner you and I are shoe junkies.  My hubby is getting irritated that I have so many "casual" shoes and then " workout shoes"  I told him that is the only consistent thing that never changes size LOL    So now I bought another pair of OOFAS, they have the bungee laces and are very comfortable, I'm not so much a sandal girl, I have 2 pair of OOFAS but I don't wear them often.  I'd rather a sneaker.   But I did get a pair of Bayleaf pants from Walmart, they are blue and came today and they are nice and lightweight and comfortable, now you have me thinking I need more!  I will look at that site you mentioned though for Quince.  I thought about linen too but I'd probably look like a bagged out wrinkled mess in them.   And I do not iron!  I'll check out the As is.  

We're going to church at 5, I asked my granddaughter to come with us as it is geared to families and kids but she said no.

@JudyL knee is making progress as long as you don't over do it!  

@Dazlin How's the critters?  

We have quite a lot of bunnies in the backyard.

Well better clean up some kitchen dishes.

DH is doing well, he rode my stationery bike today.  

Have a good day!

Good morning!  

This morning I did a 30 minute walk at the park.  A little over 3200 steps, about 1.5 miles and 21 minutes "in the zone."  LOL  Fitbit tells you everything.  Was nice getting outside and instead of walking from home to the park, I drove and parked and then walked.  Keeping fingers crossed that knee will be ok.

@bopper - that's great that DH got on your bike for a bit.  Sounds like he's doing well.

Wishing everyone a peaceful, enjoyable Saturday.

@bopper , you and hubby are doing so good...I admire the determination.   Animals are doing good here...I should go work on them today, bugs are bad.  I've been preparing for Easter dinner, so yesterday was mostly extra cleaning and I set up dining table...today I maka the sauce,  lol...tomorrow I'll get the baked ziti together, and a spiral ham.  Daughters will bring antipasto and a cheesecake...one of them bakes everything from scratch.   She usually makes cannoli and cookies...so just cheesecake this time...shes leaving for Chicago Monday on business...busy girl. 

No walks for me 😔...been feeling tired, and I want to keep up here...hopefully I get to the intracoastal Monday or Tuesday. 

Have a quality Saturday evening everyone!!

 I had in my mind to check out the OOFAS @bopper  today and then spaced it.

  I am boycotting big box stores this weekend- I guess Costco is not on the "list" so I did stop there and got gas and my prescriptions. Met up with usual Sat  coffee group.

  Now home- took a short walk earlier- but going to go  again after I chat here and get out at least once more. It's not warm- but not bad- 40's.. Tomorrow will be a better outdoor day. Easter here is bfast.. GS and son coming up.

  @bopper  I would look like a  mess in linen too even a linen blend.. But might still take a chance. I often think that type of pant makes my hips look even bigger.. HA!

 Yes, we love our shoes..  My husband made a comment about it the other day too. And frankly , I don't see that I have that many!! HA! My comeback is he plays golf twice a week- that isn't cheap either.. We do what we do!

 @JudyL  I think you are doing great-  You are starting to reap the rewards of getting your knee replaced..

 @Dazlin  All your foods for tomorrow sound delicious.

 Time to get some steps in..

[Dazlin]

HAPPY EASTER TO ALL...HAVE A BLESSED DAY!

[JudyL]

Good morning!  There's still 10 minutes left for me to say that.  LOL

I just finished doing the 30 minute stretch DVD and it felt wonderful.  There were a couple stretches that I couldn't do yet but did the rest of it.  Won't do a walk today.

Have a good Sunday!

[bopper]

Happy Easter everyone!   Kind of low key day here.  Did church last night, today I walked outside and on the tread, DH rode the bike again.  It's on the chilly side only 43 here.   Saying rain/snow mix for tomorrow.

@Dazlin you had a productive day and meal sounds really good.

@JudyL good job on the walks, you are picking up the pace too!

@violet runner I looked on Quince but didn't see hiking capris am I missing something?   I do like my Bayleaf pants though.

Enjoy your evening!

[violet runner]

@bopper - didn't buy hiking capris at Quince- I got the high tech ankle pant and I wore them yesterday.. love them!! Gonna wear them hiking and walking. I played with my GS outside and all day and they held up great.. I got the gray/ olive color.. I wish there were more colors- only 3.  I also ordered the linen pants to see how they fit- if they don't, I'll return for another ankle pant..  I am 5'8" so it's a true ankle length on me. Sorry for the confusion.

Also the Zuda as is- huge- sending back.. if you order consider the sizing.

  Havemy GS all day today- no school day.. Not sure what we'll do- I have a few errands to run.. he'll be my helper..
