I had one like yours which eventually died - this time I bouoght one that I wear on my wrist & agree with just how hard it is some days to make those 10000 steps!!!Sharmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00083171054233507648noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950707707023756757.post-79425374195645020432016-02-20T21:44:06.749+00:002016-02-20T21:44:06.749+00:00We'll never stop spoiling our kids when they c...We'll never stop spoiling our kids when they come to visit Linda! How nice that your son came home to you to talk out his troubles. I hope things were resolved for him. What a lot of work you've done for the lounge! The prep work is always the most time consuming and the most difficult. Too bad your son didn't time his visit a few hours earlier and he could have helped with the grunt work ;) We just took our daughter back to university town and are relaxing after the long drive there and back. Won't see her till April now when she is finished for good! I'll miss having the little road trips up there, makes a nice chat time with my husband on the drive home :)<br />WendySeptember Violetshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10931133319044031928noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950707707023756757.post-514612789556144762016-02-20T13:43:34.637+00:002016-02-20T13:43:34.637+00:00I am a pushover for my boys and spoil them if I ca...I am a pushover for my boys and spoil them if I can.That is what Mother's are for!

I have king size foldable mattress so that comes in handy even when I have many guests. No way, I would have had the energy to clean the bed. But yes, food I could have made:)<br />I am also going to get a Fitbit, let's see how terribly I am failing . <br />Preetihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14719450107640709790noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5950707707023756757.post-51487928030719277252016-02-20T09:14:34.369+00:002016-02-20T09:14:34.369+00:00Well done on the walking is is hard to walk the re...Well done on the walking is is hard to walk the required 10,000 steps each day.

I would donate some, but already committed to a different charity as well as trying to make myself a blanket. Well done with the walking - that's a lot of walking!

That's the thing about our grown kids, they love us but if we've done our job right, they don't really need us...until they do. I'm delighted when my son pops by too, and he lives in our same town. I see him every few weeks but I miss him in between visits. Your squares are pretty.

I don't know how we would have managed without somewhere to put everything. But I'm really glad she didn't pop home to see it. I think she has fond memories and imagines her room as ready and waiting for her if she ever needed it. I'm slowly clearing it back to normal now. When we know she is visiting, I pull out all the stops and make it really comfortable....but not too comfortable that she wants to move back in.
