We are not ready to lose Ginny.  And  really not ready to have her lose her zest for life. 
Please send up a prayer that she won’t lose her quality of life and can heal from this.

I got some sad news a few minutes ago. 
Ny dear 98 year old friend Ginny got back yesterday from Pennsylvania where she was staying with her daughter. 
Her daughter was recovering from surgery and Ginny flew up to take care of her. 
She was there more than a month, and enjoyed the grands and great grands. 
Photos were posted on Facebook of Ginny in a backyard water balloon fight. 
Last night, home in her own bed, she got up to go to the bathroom and forgot she left her suitcase between her bed and the bathroom. 
Yep! She tripped over it and broke where the ball fits into her hip socket. 
The orthopedic group and other doctors are trying to decide what to do. 
At her age, surgery is especially risky, but Ginny has been trotting up and down stairs, dancing any time there’s music, 

and enjoying life in general. 
Her only signs of age are macular degeneration and having a harder time reading the dice. 
We are not ready to lose Ginny. 
And  really not ready to have her lose her zest for life. 
Please send up a prayer that she won’t lose her quality of life and can heal from this.

Ginny sounds like an amazing woman.     Sending positive thoughts and prayers her way.  🙏

Our prayers 🙏 are on their way to Ginny.

She sounds lovely and it is so sad she has had this nasty accident.

She sounds years younger than her age and deserves to have her mobility back.

I don't know how we got in the whole first name topic. But I do know that posting on Internet forums is an "imperfect" form of communication. "Imperfect" because while we feel like we truly know each other as "friends who have not yet met" after years of back-n-forth, do we really know each other?

 

For example, I posted not too long ago that my dry sarcastic sense of humor - while I'm sure it's hilarious in person 😉 - does not come across well in writing.  I learned this many years ago on other forums when I accidentally offended several people.  So I've tried to tone myself down. Add to this, there are a few people here that are good friends in real life who may joke back-n-forth and it's easy to let our guard down and join in.

 

In my humble opinion, I believe that some of the "personality conflicts" here are a result of miscommunication or misinterpretation of certain posts.   Best to take a deep breath, step away for a bit if needed, and then come back and move on.

 

I think some cute pet pictures are in order. But I don't have a pet. At least, not yet. 🙂

It was York Designer outlet.

It is about 90 miles from home and we usually call about every 4-6 weeks.

Lovely to hear from you.

I hope you are keeping well.

Hello Sweet Belle!

[helen haywood]

@jagsfan I’m so sorry to hear about your friend’s fall.  Ever since reading about Ivana Trump’s fall I have been thinking even more than usual about trying to ensure we don’t fall.  I had a friend who lived alone, in her 80’s, who wore flip flops and caught one on the stairs…with both hands full so she couldn’t break her fall.  We live in a two story house and I am always careful to have a free hand to hold the stair rail when going up or down.  So now I’ll add to remember to not put anything to trip over in my way at night.

 

”Luckily” since getting Diana and Minnie I’m used to walking with one eye on the floor.  They absolutely do NOT get out of your way…evidently that’s my responsibility.

We have an abundant amount of cucumbers from our garden this year.   I am looking for suggestions on what to make with them.      I have given a lot away to neighbors and this weekend may set up a Help yourself - Free produce at end of driveway. 

 

So far I have made cucumber salads, cucumber water, just made a pitcher of cumber mint mojitos (Boy are they Good!) and I found this recipe I want to try this weekend.     https://www.marthastewart.com/1118951/chilled-melon-cucumber-and-mint-soup

 

Any suggestions?

Use them as cups for chicken salad

 

Cut into 3/4" slices, the use a melon baller to hollow them out. Very refreshing

I have had cucumber vodka - forgot about that.   I cannot remember where I had it so it must have been gone😁     Thank you!

Now that I discovered I like the cucumber mint mojito I may have to try infusing cucumber into simple syrup

Works best with English Cucumbers due their narrow width and firm skin
