The best thing I did today was to get an internet connection at the cottage (I'm in Canada). It is dial-up because there is no cable and very slow! But I just couldn't stand the idea of five days without knowing what my peeps are doing.

I can look in on people and see Sammy cooking, Beady sitting on the lanai, Chels playing with Gregory, Susan&Tom cleaning and packing, Nonie in the cellar, Donna trying to talk John into buying a mansion, Bright playing with her grandkids, Ronda rocking on, Marti walking by Lake Erie, HB and Kathie planning their trips back to TV, etc., etc. TOTV is a wonderful way to keep in touch.

I sat in the hot tub for an hour with Fireboy, looking at the Lake and counting my blessings. I think this is the happiest part of my life so far. I'm having a great time in Canada, and look forward so much to being back on the Reservation.

Hi Bare,

I read your post and just smiled. I felt very happy for you. I loved your synopsis of what everybody was doing.

Sounds like you and Fireboy had a wonderful time in the hot tub, just being with each other. "I think this is the happiest part of my life so far."

And the other good thing you did for yourself - internet connection - was just another way of being good to yourself.

Looking forward to seeing you back home in TV and hearing all about your vacation in Canada. Would love to know more about your world travelling aunt.

Miss ya,
HB

Yes, you know me well. Saturday night I'll be enjoying the boys again. It'll be my last time until I return home from TV mid August. Gee, I'll miss them so much.

But I'll be able to enjoy my other grandson all summer. He lives in Leesburg and I'm looking forward to seeing him, spending time with him, and babysitting! He's 3 and a joy to be around.

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 

Today, I had a long long conversation with an old, much loved friend. One of my GF's in college. We shared many, many laughs.

p.s. don't you just love talking in initials! OMG! IAAM! (I made that last one up.) :joke:

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 

It is 90 degrees at the cottage today, very unseasonal for Canada in early June. I think someone in TV must have sent some hot weather north for me to enjoy. But it really cools off when the sun sets.
Thank you Sammy for the rainbow pictures.

Before I go in the hot tub, I think I'll go check out the LSL web cam and see if any peeps I know are hanging around The Landing. Or perhaps I can see Chels on patrol in the buffalo fields.

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 

Hi Bare! We were in the square. Did you see us? Went to meet some very nice people for dinner. Talked about you and Nonie a lot, GF's. :-*

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 

Chels, I saw you on the webcam doing wheelies with Cassie (Chel's golf cart). Very impressive. I got my paddle boat out of mothballs today and took a spin around the Lake. I named her Cassie2.

Like Nonie and Bright, I'm enjoying lakes with no gators. And now the weather is really hot (for us hot is 85 at the Lake). Life is good.

I miss everyone in TV, but feel I'm still part of things by checking out the posts on good old TOTV!

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 

I spent most of the day lounging in and out of bed with vetman watching old movies. Very relaxing day.

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 

I shopped very early this morning and spent the rest of the day relaxing on EBAY.............oh, the "stuff"! I am not looking for anything .........just cruising around.

Shirl, my daughter works for eBay in San Jose. Doesn't it make you crazy! So much to buy, so little time. LOLOL :joke:

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 

Hey Chels,

In my case, so much to sell so little time! ::)

Spent a wonderful relaxing morning with two great friends HB & SL sitting by the lake and chatting endlessly. It was sad to see them go but as they drove off SL was singing.....

"See you in September" (remember that oldie?)

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 

Chels, something about lounging in and out of bed with Vetman sounds very appealing. ;)

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 

Hi we had a fantastic weekend. Took back roads to visit Nonie and Bernie at there lake front summer home. Saturday could not be more perfect - wonderful friends, ideal weather and a delightful pontoon ride to a local restaurant.

Sunday the time just flew by. I wish I could have made time go slower.

Thank you Nonie and Bernie for a wonderful weekend.

I must tell all of you Clara is an excellent sport and George is very friendly.

HB

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 

Chels your day sounds perfect.

HB

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 

HB,
LOL LOL ,do ya think you should clarify who Clara and George are? We are a strange bunch in TOTV! Wild imaginations you know. ;)

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 

Inquiring minds want to know...

I was wondering about Clara and George...who the heck are they?

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 

Nonie, they will have more fun letting their imagination run wild. Who knows, perhaps some one will guess who Clara and George are?

HB

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 

Bright, you are so funny! Your a regular curious George. LOL LOL

Is this really driving you nuts?

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 

Well, I know Clara was a clown and George was curious...very curious...

Where is my mind going?...LOL

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 

Bright, you create some interesting visuals, We must be of like minds!!! HA HA HA!

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 

Nonie, isn't Clara "pretty in pink"? But I don't remember George being George??? :dontknow:

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 

I believe that was Molly Ringwald as Andie Walsh...

George??? George Bush? George Harrison? George Michael? George Clooney? George Washington?

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 

Bright, one day if you are really lucky, you will meet both Clara and George.

When you do I want to be there to see how Clara and George react to you and you react to them.

They are both delightful, take it from someone who has seen them often.

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 

1rnfl Bright! I didn't want to give away who Clara is, but poor George. I don't remember that being his name. Duh! Having many senior moments (or as my daughter says "she's on a senior recess" lately! ;D

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 

Today I bought a Garmin nuvi 260 and I just love it. F-16 and others on here helped me with this decision. I highly reccomend this affordable GPS. I can drive anyplace now and not get lost! :)

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 

Chels I thought you wanted to give Bright a hint when you posted

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 

After an horrendous weekend with landscapers and plumbers, I allowed myself to discover Cold Stone Creamery and am just sorry that I didn't purchase a large!

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 

Today we took one of our grandchildren to Chunk-e-Cheese. He had a wonderful time and I enjoy playing the games also.

If you wonder how to celebrate a birthday, many years ago the g'children decided my hubby "wanted" to celebrate his b'day at Chunk-e-Cheese.

Since they were the planners they got him a crown from Burger King and his gift was a jar of anchovies to put on his pizza at Chunk-e-Cheese. They blindfolded him and gave him as many wrong clues as possible. The kids and I had a fantastic time. All we did was laugh. Hubby being a great sport went along with it.

HB

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 

Just one correction please. Its Georgie as in "hey there Georgie Girl" and Georgie is female!!

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 

Chels, that is going to be my new favourite expression: "on a senior recess", love it! :a20:

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 

HB

I know if I ate pizza every day I would become "Chunkie Cheese."

But, I don't think you meant that....didn't you mean "Chuckie Cheese?"

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 

Bright I stand corrected. As Chels' daughter will tell you I'm on a senior recess.

Over the years we have only had pizza there once. That was the first time we ever went there. Since then we take the kids out to eat whereever they want to go. Then we go to Chunkie Cheese to play the games.

They do have an all you can eat salad bar that is usually quite good.

HB

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 

HB,
If we are on senior recess when we say something stupid, what are the kids on when they say or do something stupid???? I think I resent that statement >:(

Can ya tell we have no air conditioning??? grrrrrrrrrr!

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 

Nonie, neither do we have ac. We do have a whole house fan which helps.

Didn't mean to write something that upset you. Please accept my apology

I guess I am looking for something to say when I can not recall something that I know I know.

HB

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 

Junior recess? Idiot recess? You're in Big Trouble Recess?

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 

HB, Im not upset with you at all, Im po'd at these young kids who think we seniors all have alzheimers. I guess I felt that way once about "older people" too.

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 

It makes me laugh at myself when I forget obvious things. I feel like a cartoon character of an old person. I can laugh cuz I'm still young, I just have this really old wrinkled up body!

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 

I was going to answer this but I forgot what I was going to say. :o

Re: What One Good Thing Did You Do For Yourself Today?
 

I spoke with a friend today that was going through a rough patch. I think she'll be fine and that makes me incredibly happy!!!
