I've lost a lot of weight since I had covid in December. I have to be very careful about eating now. I've had to buy a new wardrobe for summer and winter. I hated to do it, but nothing I had fit.

I need to do better at losing some of my weight. I'm a nervous eater, and I like all the food that makes me gain. When I had my tooth cut out, all I could eat was ice cream and soup for a week. That didn't help my weight much. I need to lose at least 10lbs, though, to make my doctor happy.

MARANTHA!! Even so, come LORD JESUS!!!
Thank you Summerthyme, for the prayers especially!! Praying that you are finding more joy in your life too!!!
I resisted as long as I could....it is hard to let go of any of my independence, but yes, I will be with family. My niece is more like a daughter to me, I was almost 13 when she was born and my Mom kept her while my sister worked, for several years. After Mama and Dada, her next word was Aunt Gi-Gi, which is close to my actual name.
When she was 6 her Daddy was killed in an auto accident and her Mother, (my sister) married within a year of his death. The three children were not allowed to ask questions about, or even have pictures of their biological Daddy. My niece would always find a way to get me alone and ask all about her Dad and I would tell her everything I could possibly remember, which was a LOT, because I had known her Dad since I was 5 years old. I am very close to her and I think I will be very happy there.....just wish I could take ALL of my critters!!
Hadn't thought of that, just came to the decision to go yesterday......but that is an EXCELLENT idea!
And thank you Moldy for the Congrats!!! I appreciate it and I continue to keep you in my prayers.....
It's kind of WEIRD.....as hard as I resisted, now I am excited to go!!!

I'm happy for you. I worried about you being by yourself and all the heat you had to deal with and having accidents. I don't know where you live, but you won't get too cold where you are going.
It rained for a little while this after noon and I think my multiplying onions grew a couple more inches. I need to cut the tops in the next few days. I'm going to chop them up and freeze them on a cookie sheet and then into ziplocs.

I can hardly wait for my walking onions to get here. They won't ship, until next month just in time for planting. I plan to use the tops for the freezer, too.

Thank you too, Nomifyle, I ALWAYS covet anyone's prayers, because, well they WORK you know!!
I worry about you and your hubby ....when you both had COVID, that was REALLY SCARY!! And I know, you are like me and have fallen a couple of times.
Even though I will have to leave quite a few things, and find homes for some of my critters, I find myself pretty excited about going. What more could you ask for......GARDENING 12 months out of the year!!! And they have said I can dig up the whole yard if I want!!!! That has me planning and checking all my seeds!!

I am in the market for a better pair of sandals. I bought the $20 mens sport style fro Wm this spring, having not worn sandals for years because of how bad my feet had been for so long after breaking them. Yeah, I have nearly destroyed those sandals, and sandal season is not quite over for my always hot feet. Does anyone know of a company that makes sandals that I can get at least 5 years of use? I hate having to replace things. Hubby gets frustrated with me because I don't consider things like cars and shoes (and other items made of durable material) to be disposable. It really bothers me that these shoes will soon be entering the waste stream, of which I am severely aware and try to avoid.

I planted walking onions this spring, and they failed to come up at all.

Congratulations, ioujc. I completely understand about not giving up your independence. There comes a time in our lives where we just have to accept the fact that we cannot do everything we used to do and take whatever help is offered. I live on a small farm where my daughter and son-in-law live--I am still somewhat independent but have help close by for all that I can no longer do. It is a real blessing and I hope your new situation will be as rewarding.

I wear my sandals year round. In the winter I add some heavy socks. Yes, I know it looks funky but I have so much trouble with my feet and legs that I will do whatever I can to make them happy. I get the Earth Spirit sandals or Dr. Scholl's when I can find them.

UP DATE ON POSSIBLE FLORIA MOVE
I have decided to stay here in the Missouri Ozarks. I found out that my niece is only 15 miles from Pensacola......and there is a land route to where they are. They are so unconcerned about all of this they have not even set up a pantry yet. They are just now starting and have NO IDEA how people are going to act when they start being REALLY HUNGRY!!!! I sincerely believe that by the LATEST, next summer they are going to be wanting to come up here, which I am encouraging. Their reasons for not coming now are jobs. I don't anticipate that will be an issue for much longer.
I am disappointed, but I will be very busy preparing a place for them to come and preparing more food storage for more people. It will end up being a LOT of people, as mu niece's two grown children are both married and have two grandchildren in the mix also.
Oh well, I was really excited but when I found out how very close to a large city they are, I would basically be going down there to die....which will happen anyway, eventually, but why uproot all I have just to go down there to get killed, when I can do that here much easier!!
I had nightmares all night last night about what will happen down there, and I did not mention this to my niece, but I can only PRAY FERVENTLY, that my dreams do NOT reflect reality!!!

We've had really good luck with the Croc brand shoes for working outside in the summer. Some of ours are 4 yrs old and going strong.

Ioujc, glad you found out now, before you invested anything in the move. They may well land on your doorstep soon.
