I disappeared for several days, but here I am again. We spent a long weekend in Miami with friends and returned late last night. Lots of things going on in our family. *Yesterday was our older son’s wedding anniversary. *Our younger son’s wife attended a conference and spent two nights away from him. *I’m loaded down with laundry. *We have no food in the house. *We are both exhausted and decided to skip the gym today. ~Photo of Doodles enjoying watching the birds from his daddy’s screened in porch in comfort ~ I hope you have been just fine since last Friday!

I noticed you were not around and I thought to remember you had scheduled to move from Florida at the beginning of May. Doodles look beautiful.

@DianneN I forgot that now you are "resident" and you stay longer. I am glad you enjoyed Miami.

Thanks for noticing, Anna. We won't leave Florida until June 6th. I thought of you when we were in Miami Beach and kept an eye on my purse the entire time.

Hello again and welcome back! I had a nice weekend, I used the last two weeks to gain some weight, I dedicated most of my time to eating . Gained about 6 pounds, 44 to go . Today I'll get back to gym, I focus on power lifting because I'm very skinny and I want to get stronger (one month ago I could barely do squats with 40 pounds on my shoulders). Not much happening in my life, just living and enjoying the simple things .

Thank you! It's so nice being back. Congratulations to you on gaining 6 pounds!!!!! I think between eating all your goodies and building muscle, you are on your way to becoming a fatty! I wish I had your problem. I'm just the opposite.

@DianneN yes, yes, I'm on my way, I'll reach fatness in no time . Also, both my co-workers are women and they hate me . I eat in one sitting more than both of them during the entire day and I 'm still skinny .

@Kasjnak My father was skinny, too, and nothing could fatten him up.

I did notice that you had not been here for a while . . . I figured you had been busy doing something fun . Happy anniversary to your son! I'm getting a bunch of chores/errands done today . . . I haven't felt like roaming around town lately. Laundry, cleaning, and cooking time for me! Doodles looks lovely against that blue !

@DianneN Too much do in real life - and too much to do here . And people like me don't help because as soon as you get rid of a notification, we keep giving you more . I got a lot done yesterday, and I intend to do more today. Ohhhh, how did your green beans turn out? I want to grow some!

@much2say I suppose it's better to get notifications than not. The green beans were delicious of course. lol I used to grow my own and the kids snapped them right off the plants and ate them raw. They do grow very well. I hope you do grow some.

I appreciate your noticing my absence. I should have written a post stating our mini vacay, but as usual, I was behind in notifications and didn't want more. Many thanks, and know you are not alone in laundry, cleaning, and cooking. I bought some fresh from the garden green beans and will make them using my special recipe for hubs tonight.

I wondered what happened to you. If I didn't see you here today, I was going to look for you on FB. I'm glad things are going well for you and you haven't fallen off the planet. Doodles looks comfortable. I love the way he knows his daddy is taking a picture of him. I've been doing well.

I'm rarely on Facebook anymore, but thanks for wondering. I didn't even post one photo of Miami on FB. It's no one's business where I am or what I'm doing. Some people are very touchy. Doodles always makes himself comfy - on cushions it seems. . Thank you, and so happy to hear you have been doing well!

pretty picture. I finished reading Pet Sematary and I thought I wouldn't have anything to read. I kept having to put books on hold until today. Two books came available. So I'm loaded down with books. lol I thought I could do Instacart to get some cat food, but they won't take my prepaid gift cards. And I want to see the remake of Pet Sematary for Mother's Day and no one has it.

We're looking forward to a home cooked meal. All we did was eat every meal out in Miami. Besides, I bought farm fresh green beans today and am itching to use them in my special recipe. My husband loves them that way only. Glad you went out to eat, and thank you. You can't ruin handsome.
