Happy Monday
I enjoyed the quietness of this weekend. Chores were done and my hub was not feeling well so looking after him. We caught up on our shows.
I am looking forward to Costco lol 😂 I need to stock up! I like doing errands out of town with my hubby. We take time to go out to dinner and a walk somewhere. 💕
@SunShineAlwaysGrateful
Nice to combine errands with pleasure like having a walk or dinner afterwards!
Wishing your hubby a speedy recovery.
Something I enjoyed in the weekend was that it ended.
Something I am looking forward to this week is nothing.
@OneErased
I hope very much that something will come up this week to look forward too 💙. It's hard when there is nothing to look forward to. What did you like before in the weekends or was it always like this?
I wouldn't really know without going through my journals. But things are how they are, really.
@OneErased I am sorry you cannot think of things to look forward to. That must be difficult.
I have seen you pop into the discussions ami and I host and I invite you to drop in and see if it feels better just to be with people. There are also open chats where you may find a lighter atmosphere more in sync with your mood.

- Something I enjoyed in the weekend was ... Taking a friend out for her birthday and the restaurant gave us our food for free. How unexpected😊
- Something I am looking forward to this week is . Going to therapy sort of🤔
@WorkingitThrough2
That free food came as a big but welcomed surprise! 😃
I wish you a good therapy session, nice that you have access to it!
@amiablePeace77
It was Mothers' Day here in France so I was taken out to my favourite restaurant along the banks of the Dordogne River. We also celebrated my grandson's 9th birthday.
This week...... I am not sure what to expect, but I hope it is quiet
@Fradiga
Sounds wonderful and 2 celebrations in one go! A belated Happy Birthday to your grandson 😃
@Fradiga Happy Mother's Day in France. What you described sounded lovely and you enjoyed it.
I just joined and can't find a group with 'older folk' facing issues. with overall life, getting old, raising grandchildren, and taking care of mom with dementia. I just moved to Florida six months ago, I am in therapy. I hope I don't sound like a complainer, I have everything else in life to be thankful for. I just saw your post and you seemed someone friendly, around my age, I'm 65.
@Kyntah
I am happy you wrote! I am usually around from 10 AM in the morning (in France) if you are in a different time zone. The chances are good that I'll be there tomorrow evening from 6PM, if the morning is difficult for you. Please do come chat - I won't bite

- Something I enjoyed in the weekend was ... microwave dry roasted walnuts with soy sauce.
- Something I am looking forward to this week is ... sunshine when it gets here. The cloud and rains and cool weather continue.
@soulsings
Dry roasted walnuts with soja sauce sounds yummy soul! I need to try that. How long do you keep the nuts in the micro?
Sending you lots of sunshine, hope it arrives soon! 😃
@amiablePeace77 @amiablePeace77 I did a 1/2 of a pound of shelled walnuts (out of the shell. Spread them on a dinner plate so the nuts are one layer high. Sprinkle lightly with soy sauce and flip the nuts with a spatula or flipper so they are coated with soy sauce. On high I microwave for 4 minutes. If you want to try you could do 2 minutes then stir and 2 minutes more.
I do almonds 1/3 of a pound on dinner plate with your favorite oil and salt spread out 1 layer high. Then I cook in microwave for 5 minutes at powre lever 7 of 10. I test if a little golden brown in center. If not 2 more minutes power level 7. I cool before eating and they are very crunchy.
@soulsings
I enjoy walnuts too! I either eat them as a snack or crush them into a salad (lettuce or mixed)
@amiablePeace77
I went for a bike ride and I loved the smell of the elderflower everywhere. I made a syrup but it didn't turn out very well. I enjoyed a half day camping and hike in a mountain.
Next weekend we have long weekend again im so excited. I found a very interesting place to camp. (Hope it's not so cold) It is in 2000 m and under a glacier. And many waterfalls and mountain lake. And a very long hanging bridge. I enjoy every day if there is sun 😬
@kala
Never forget what Thomas Edison said kala "I didn't fail 1,000 times. The light bulb was an invention with 1,000 steps." So you can still have lots of tries 😄
Sending you some sunshine for the weekend.
