I always feel that it would be kinda nice to have phone calls , with grown children telling their Mom how much they love them. They do express their love in so many ways--cutting grass--carrying the pump up from the lake--calling their Dad--- all that is "family love"-- ways to express it!
Right now we are in a storm---rain pounding down-- I never remember a summer with so many storms around us--tornados too--- kinda different! ---- Some days it feels like "Dorothy and the Wizard of Oz" here!
This picture was sent , of food, in Seoul, Korea, where Son #2 is right now.---Korean foods-- different and so good!
I must add too, that there is NO ICE CRAM in this house--and that is different too!
I hope you get out and walk-- even 10 minutes!
You are only as old as you feel Lynda! Some days I do feel older than old too but today I feel energized after my aerobics class. I still have ice cream here but only plan to buy some when my grandson is here. Do hope I can manage to do that as some days my willpower is not great. Sounds your your son enjoys Seoul and the food there. We were there in 2000 for my daughter’s wedding and had a good time. We did eat a few things that were strange to us but it was a good place to visit. Have a good day in the rain. We are supposed to get some too as well as thunderstorms again. It has been a strange summer this year! ⛈ 👍
ReplyDeleteHi Carol--sa strange summer for sure! --Good to hear from yu-Lynda
DeleteGreat post , the food looks very nice, but no ice cream is a little hard to take! Donna x
DeleteWe all need ice cream in the house! There are certainly more storms this summer! Here in NY area we get pounded and the rain comes down in torrents for hours. Happy to see you blogging again!
ReplyDeleteLynda, Fred's concerns over your walks are legitimate ones! I read where bears are now looking for more food before hibernating & although you aren't their food, they may feel threatened that you are between them & their food! Be extra cautious and don't go through the bush now, please. We are getting lots of thunderstorms right now, booming thunder! One is coming today/tonight! Take care. <3
ReplyDelete--Hi Gloria--lots of more storms aren't there?--- I will watch for bears--- Nice to see yu-Lynda
ReplyDeleteI think you should carry a bear horn! You need to scare the bears--or men--when you see them get too close! There are some crazies out there, Lynda. They are bad, so you don't expect them... Because you are good! So get a bear horn or something like that! Or mace! Men don't like maced! I'm glad you got a walk in. I think most weird guys sleep in, and drink all night. But you never know!
ReplyDeleteSo glad to have you back. At least now you know how missed you are when you don't show up!
ReplyDeleteGet yourself a bear bell for your walks. We had a bear take down our empty feeder this summer. . . never had bears where we lived in VT but here in NH is a different story. We are expecting your rain to get here tonight and tomorrow.
ReplyDeleteNice about the Korean food...Have a nice day!
ReplyDeleteWe are to get severe thunderstorms, heavy rain, hail and possible tornados tonight. I am hoping that it doesn't happen. Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteHappy you have returned. Our weather here in south central Wi is pretty cool today. My thermometer says 70 and there is a cool wind. I think you do need a bear bell though. Careful out there Lynda!
ReplyDeleteI got within ten feet of a brown bear in one of the U.S. National Parks which definitely caught my attention and caused an adrenaline rush! I stood real still and breathed a sigh of relief at the bear stared briefly before turning around and heading another direction.
ReplyDeleteA bear horn does sound like a good piece of equipment the kids ought to "gift" you! Hope you are safe and dry, and avoiding the downpour! Be safe and well, and keep Sparking!
ReplyDeleteI like Korean foods home made.. When I was there I was treated many time in family homes to real home cooked meals.
ReplyDeleteLol well you could run into a bear.. yikes . Do you carry the horn and spray?
Keep walking you are doing fantastic.
Take something with you when out walking anywhere, in case you fall, that is more likely to happen, then meeting a bear….your voice will not carry well. Enjoy time out in fresh air.
ReplyDeleteI do some exercise at my house and walk around my house during the day.
ReplyDeleteHave a great Tuesday
Great Day in my book!
ReplyDeleteI'm behind again. I understand being so busy that you have to let some things go. I'm not that busy but have been having a real hard time with my legs - seems I may have to have the other knee replaced one of these days soon. So I guess that has made me pretty crabby!!! I don't blame you for being surprised that your son would ask to buy your house - yes, you are still living in it! I expect we will be living in our home until our time on this earth is over.
ReplyDeleteSometimes I can handle frozen yogurt in the house and sometimes I can't . You have to know yourself at any given week . I passed those little tiny chocolate bars in the dollar store today . And I said to myself , their small not too many calories , I could save them for a small treat . But , I thought would I this week stop at 1 or 2 or would I eat them all up ? I decided this week I just couldn't take the chance . So , someday you probable can handle that ice cream , just not this week . Keep up your great work
ReplyDeleteWell, it's good for you to know your husband loves you enough to not want you eaten by a bear! :) I'm glad you're out getting your walks in and enjoying life. Hopefully you're getting in some enjoyable piano time.
ReplyDeleteThat Korean food looks interesting. I might need to check it out; haven't had Korean food in years, and then only once or twice.
I'm with you ... if it's too yummy and a sweet treat, I cannot have it in the house.
Happy Tuesday!
The food looks yummy. Please get a horn or loud bell and some bear spray. Unless of course you go walking with a friend, then you only have to be able to run faster than the friend. Joke...LOL. We would never do that to a friend.
ReplyDeleteI hope I get out and walk, too! Once I’m home from work, I just want to sink into the couch.
ReplyDeleteJust want you to know I might not be able to comment as much - work blocks me! 😭
But I enjoy hearing what you’re up to. Speaking of hearing, I’m coming up on 3 years of better hearing and your blogs about himself and his hearing helpers helped me get over my worries and get these hearing aids. No regrets!
Hugs and love,

Please be careful of where you walk. As you know, bears are extremely dangerous and wayward males lost in the woods as well. Try to stick to the roads. Himself is right. We all worry about you! You're also doing good with the ice cream. Stay safe during the storms tonight.��
ReplyDeleteDo you carry bear spray? If not, maybe it's something to think about.
ReplyDeleteI did get on my elliptical exercise bike for 12 minutes!
ReplyDeleteWe are a bit southwest of you, but it stormed here in Minnesota last night, too. We lost power for a short time recently.
It does pay to look at things differently. I have read we should try to see the world through the eyes of a child. {{{HUGS}}}
Good that famil expresses love, maybe in different ways, but they express love.
ReplyDeleteThat's what famil is all about.
HUGS
Walking is good for us, we just need to do what we can to be safe. I don't intend to give up walking as it keeps my knees working. I also ride bike, but taking that up again at 71 is challenging. Keep up the good work with the weight loss. Beth Mosko.
ReplyDeleteYes, we always have some ice cream in the house. Its a must.
ReplyDeleteChecking in after missing a few days - it's always good to read your messages! They put a positive spin on things and always put a smile on my face and in my heart. I am going to start a list of the positives of being older than old. It may take some thought.
ReplyDeleteIt has been an unusual summer in more ways than one - but we'll stick to the weather. The western half of North America is hot and dry while the eastern half has also been warm but wet. We have a bumper crop of mosquitoes which make being outside a bit unpleasant. The boys and I sometimes only get in one walk - in the morning when it is cooler and we don't have to share the shade with all the bugs. Stay well!
Wish you could send us, in Oregon, your rain. We're in a many-months'-long drought now. Fires thrive, but nothing else much does.
ReplyDeletebe careful on your walks hopefully Beau will learn to walk with you
ReplyDeleteWell, maybe "Himself" was concerned more than about rape on your walk in the bush! Still catching up on your blogs. (((HUGS)))
