Wendy,

I noticed your ticker is gone . Does this mean you've passed the 99 pounds off mark? I know you've been maintaining that wonderful loss for awhile- good for you! But I know you're anxious to move to the next phase! Supporting you all the way!

    Strawberries
    Watermelon
    Green salad
    About 1/4 cup dressing

WENDY ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT MADIE? since breaking her hip is she moving out of her home? hope she is doing ok

[wendysgoodnews]

No this is Mary who I met at church when I first moved to this area almost 20 yrs ago.
Madie is doing fairly well and will go home tomorrow.  From hitting the floor so hard her leg is still very swollen and has her MS still stirred up. 
She is feeling stronger everyday and her daughter is coming in today to care for her as long as needed.

[LINDA RN]

Sounds like you are in Full-Time Ministry, Wendy.
What a blessing you are!

[wendysgoodnews]

Thank you Linda
When I first moved to this part of Montana I met quite a few older ladies at church.  We have stayed great friends all these years and then a few have left us.  Now they are all getting into their 80's and are needing more then just friendship.  I have found that ladies in this age group don't stand up for them selves very well they just except what is told to them by doctors and professionals.  They need an advocate that they can trust and will do what it takes to get them help.
My mother is in her 80's also and we deal with the same things with her. 

Good news!
I just found out my son and daughter- in- law that are having a baby will be having a little girl.  Mostly our family has been having little boys so this is so special.

[wendysgoodnews]

I made turkey soup from some of the turkey breast from Sunday.  When I was seasoning it I went to put in pepper from Costco and opened the wrong side and poured a good cup of pepper into it.  It was going to a luncheon so I had to think of how to fix it.  I finally put it in the strainer and rinsed it all.  When we ate lunch the soup was a bit hot but not like it could have been.

Monday:

B:  Taco meat w/ refried beans & avacado
L:  Turkey soup w/ cabbage noodles
    Mixed fruit smoothie
D:  Taco again ( I made to much meat and need to use it)
    Frozen pineapple & orange

Congrats Wendy on being an expectant grandma to a little girl, you will love it! My BFF tells me it is so different than with a boy and she is enjoying every minute of it.

[LINDA RN]

Congratulations Grandma!
Great save on the Turkey!

Wendy-Congratulations on being an expectant grandmother to a little girl.  You will enjoy that little one so much.  I love and enjoy all 4 of my grandchildren, but the twin girls and I have a special bond.  Being the mother of 3 sons, this has all been new and exciting.  Pam

Wendy, congratulations!!  You'll enjoy that little grandbaby so much, I know.

I agree with you that the elderly need an advocate to speak up for them.  I've experienced so much with my mom.  The doctors really can do whatever they want with them, because the elderly lose so much confidence in their ability to think for themselves.  You are a blessing to all of your friends, I can tell.

[wendysgoodnews]

Thanks everyone we are so excited for our 1st grand baby to be born!
We are leaving on vacation Thursday and will be back on Tuesday.  We have decided to go to S. Dakota for our 25th anniversary since Mike has never been there and I haven't been there in years.
We were hoping to get away from the cold and rain but it looks like they are having pretty much the same weather.
I am taking my computer and will be  looking in as I can.  Pray for me to stay on track since we will be trying not to eat out all the time but get fruit and things from the store.
