Pam Hahaha. . . Momma knows best. Seriously having fruit & vegetable trays or fixings on hand do help during busy visits. That's a great way to support your goal of being mindful when eating. Enjoy your time w/ your family.
Audrey Good that you could get that off your chest and help broaden the discussion.

THUMBS UP AUDREY....I agree with you 200%. I gave up on unbiased journalism...just not happenin' not in MA! Enjoy your walk on the beach. We just got back from Walmart and Hannaford's. Our Walmart was a ghost town. I guess people are afraid to shop there given what happened. The young man at the door said yesterday and today were the slowest he has seen in a LONG time. Happy to be home as it's extremely hot out there. We did take miss LuLa for a very short walk and was happy that she performed quickly. June, not having children, we tend to want to adopt people LOL. Donna is a wonderful gal that is slowly gaining her independence and courage back. She moved here 3 months ago and we can all see a BIG difference. I used to think that my family wrote the book on 'drama' until I married Carl LOL...I guess no family is 'safe' from it! Well, now it's time to unwind and perhaps even get jammified...or at least into something more comfy and cool. I'm about ready to pour me a HUGE glass of iced water with a little lemon in it Take care, all!

Ann I hope you enjoyed your errands.It's actually only 93 here at 3:00 but it is humid.I feel for you on the cold place.Lately they have had the AC blasting in church with today being no exception.So nice of you to help Donna out.I do feel for her.I can understand how some wives of abusive husbands feel the need to stay for financial reasons,etc it's just not right for them to have to endure all that abuse.I'm so glad she has her parents.Terrible of her daughter to disown her.
Pam I'm glad you were able to find fruits and veggies for the family get together.
Audrey Enjoy your beach time.Are you staying for another week?Good for you on the editorial.
June Thanks for the prayers.It's a sad time in our country now.How are you doing today?
Ann Enjoy your water and unwind for the day.I'm not there yet.I still have things to do.I can imagine how slow Walmarts must be right now.We need to stop by ours either tomorrow or Tuesday and am frankly kinda hesitant even in our sleepy little town but these shootings are everywhere now.If the parents were shopping for school supplies in El Paso I pray someone doesn't target the schools down there now.

Becky in Donna's case she was the only one working. She worked 3 jobs. He was a Veteran that also abused both drugs and alcohol and refused to get help. When she left finally their daughter told her she is no longer a part of the family. She us 35 with kids of her own and a husband that only works when he feels like it. Such a mess. Now Donna's daughter wants to make amends because she has $$ from the sale of their house. I'm hoping she will stick to her guns and not give her a dime. She does want to set $$ aside for her grandkids that she never sees.

Ann That is so sad about Donna.I hope she sticks to her guns also.Is your Walmart a super WM or one of the Neighborhood Stores(I think that's what they call them).
It will be interesting to see how soon people will start going back to Walmart's like they used to.Our HEB and Walmart are both on the hwy separated by a mutual road where you can go from one to the other.

Our Walmart is called a super center however it's smaller than those in the surrounding cities. We like it because it's so close.
I'm also praying she sticks to her guns. I never bring her past up as it's not my place. When she brings it up I give my opinion only when asked. Sometimes she just wants to vent and I just listen.
Sun is setting so will be leaving shortly to walk.
Hope everyone enjoys the rest of their Sunday.

Ann, I hope Donna can stand her ground with her daughter and save any surplus funds for her grands.
I FINALLY heard from Son#1. I've been trying to plan my annual trip to the Jersey Shore and this is the only week in which the Kressling doesn't have soccer practice every morning. Take out all the days with other things already scheduled, and the magic day is Thursday - which, fortunately, looks to have decent weather.
Now to keep track of all the other stuff...
