Hi all, Sorry I havent written in awhile. Been very very busy with Petunia!.. the new puppy.

I got her to keep me on my toes. Be careful what you wish for. Good lord she keeps me on my toes!

She is absolute perfection. Very loving little puppy, as she has had a loss as well, being taken from her mommy and brought home to me. She is definately having seperation anxiety. If I move, she moves, If I step, she steps. I cant do the dishes without her finding me, and laying down on my slippers..she simply must know where I am at all times. My birds have been good with that as well.. they are forever calling me..." Mommy!! C mere!! Mommy!!!" I hear it all day. lol.

Anyway Im so happy to see all these Northwesterners in here.. and yes, that includes Alaska as far as Im concerned. we do need a NW Picture for our group...how about something with ferns and waterfalls.. thats Northwest if I ever saw it.

Any donations? any photographers in here?

So I have been moving forward with my life. I joined LA weight loss, and am losing very quickly.. I want to lose 50 lbs by Feb of next year. Ive already lost 20 at least since my husband died. As soon as his choice of groceries were gone, it was no problem to lose. He liked very high fat stuff.. overeating isnt my problem though, its UNDEReating and only once a day. So my body stores everything thinking Im going to continue to starve it. That and the thyroid issues I have..I basically have NO metabolism.. lol

Anyway, thats going well, my puppys got me moving ALOT,, I still want to go camping. No groups for that in my area. I was shocked. I thought there would be some sort of " Outdoors group" in my area for widows, singles, widowers etc.. but no, nothing of the kind?

Im still looking though... So how are all of you?
