    ONE STEP AT A TIME... AUGUST, 2014

    I hope you don't mind, my lovely NocaC! :h

    I'm starting this month off with a request that we all feel free to express the LURVE! Pretend we're aging hippies. (Where, what?)

    I'm so glad we have each other. You're my dear pals, and I know most are all pals to one another too, and it's great to watch the interaction and be a part of it... I'm privileged.

    There's nothing elegant about this start-off... just a genuine shout-out to everyone here on this thread... you are a great bunch of people... and I have to day... I LOVE YOU! :l :h

    Alcohol has been a wrecking ball... and we're here to clean up the mess and help stop the carnage in each others lives, through support and friendship.

    OK... I need to find a picture... I'll be right back.

            Hello all,
            Zen that is a great start to the month. I cant believe it is August already. The summer has flown by. Still some good weather left to enjoy so I hope to get out and do just that. Need to dust off the bike and ride. Dh has had a bike rack to put on the car for about 2 years. Need to install a trailer hitch first and that has been in the huge box in the dining room for about the same amount of time. I told him to just have one installed but NO he wanted to save money and do it himself....well we know how that will end....aaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
            Off to the gym then putz around here. Garden needs tending to. I have let it run amok so need to reel it back in and do some pruning. I will have red tomatoes any day now and I see some pasta sauce in my future. mmmmmmmmmmmmm

              Hiya!

              Good for you with signing up for the 5k training dottie! Have you got some decent running shoes? They can be a big help in preventing injury, I find.

              Glad you're feeling stronger nora and well done on taking the AB.

              Hope everything goes well with your visitors fenny.

              Thanks for getting us started on the new month zenners. Does nora really have that tattooed on her foot? Nora?!!

              :hallo: sunny, techie, paulie, mama et al.

              Have a great August everyone.

                  Dottie how do you make your pasta sauce - can you make it from cherry tomatoes? I have SO many tomatoes, and lots of different ones, but peeling the cherry ones would be a joke ......

                  Nora - hi there, I am doing okay - been back to the doc who has given me MORE ABX for my ear - the infection has not gone away ..... got steroid ear drops and a nasal spray as well this time - it WILL go away this time !!

                  Pauly - sorry about your daughter (is it your daughter ?). Breakups with b'f are SO awful when you are young. I remember sobbing and thinking the world had come to an end once.

                  Hi Reccy - nice to 'meet' you. I am a fellow Brit by the way .... transplanted to USA a LONG time ago!

                  Hugs, Sun XX

                    sun I just throw all the tomatoes into my Vitamix and blend them to a puree. Then put in a pot with garlic, basil, oregano to taste...cook slowly for many hours or until thickened. I have peeled them and taken the seeds out and it doesn't seem to matter. If it is a little bitter I add a little sugar.

                      recluse I need some new running shoes....I have some old ones that I just wear around the house so I will invest in a new pair. This training is sponsored bu New Balance so I am sure they will have some sale prices to get the participants to buy new shoes..OK by me since I think it will help.
                      I wanted to get into this sooner but the summer is just too hot for me.
                      I plan to walk the 5K I signed up for in September.

                        Dottie - I have a Vitamix too - but I cannot peel cherry tomatoes !!! I would be here until next year! I have Googled it and will work on it ..... tomorrow is when I plan on picking and dealing with a TON of tomatoes !!!! I have a lovely recipe for pizza that also uses zucchini and peppers that I love - so thought I would try to use the tomatoes from the garden instead of buying tinned ones .....

                              Hi All and welcome Sunshine,

                              August is going to be a great month for all of us.!

                              I've made some goals for this month which will challenge me and looking forward to making them happen.

                              I'm rehabbing a small house on 6 beautiful acres east of Cincinnati and committed to run a really fun half marathon.. Both are labors of love. Does anyone have goals for this month they would like to share?
                              2023 - focus, getting it done, and living the way it should be and being the person I need to be.
