Happy Saturday, all!

Yesterday the guy who I used to hire occasionally to trim trees for me called and asked if I want some free firewood. He's cleaning up a rental house's yard and needs to get rid of it. Naturally, I said YES!! He's even going to bring it to me. So today I'll be helping him unload his trailer, then stacking wood.

I've been slacking off on walking around the pasture, but I'm working up to starting again. I'd really like to get a Fit Bit. I don't have a smart phone. Do you know if it works without a smart phone?


QVC had a special on the new FitBits they have out. They do work best to display daily, weekly info on via an iPad or Smart phone with apps - but you don’t need. Mine slightly buzzes when I hit the 11k steps i have it set at, but also easily displays time, date, streps taken, total daily mileage, etc. sometimes i use the “app” but often don’t.

IT will work stand alone you just miss out on all the annoying badges and wards. They are awesome with reminders and fairly accurate on steps and heart monitor. I just upgraded from a blaze (Bigger and more smart watchy) and the wife had an Alta HR (which is thinner). The only reason I upgraded to an iWatch 4 is the ECG feature. I have a fairly high stress job and I wanted a more accurate heart feature-just short of actual medical equipment.

Thanks for that information. That's just what I needed to know. I'll start saving up for one.

Are you SERIOUS???? I really need to come visit you. The only time I’ve ever saw an ostrich being ridden was in an old movie called Swiss Family Robinson.. it was the story of a family who made their life on an island after being shipwrecked! I’m actually terrified of giant beaks but I would still brave it just to experience:)

Have you seen the movie Blended with Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore?
There’s a scene where they ride ostriches.
It’s actually a cute movie.

Oh my!! That’s too cold for this California girl!!

We are getting rain this afternoon, a day this week and a more the next weekend!!
We haven’t had this much in a long time!!!
We had high of 3C yesterday. There was frost on the ground all day. I got so chilled, even though I stayed indoors (probably because I am not well), that I had to use a hot water bottle when I went to bed :(

[emoji33][emoji33][emoji33]. I don’t think I want to visit there.. we have a restaurant here that is becoming popular in the area called the Twisted Root Burger Co. they offer many kind of burgers that can be made from exotic game... I’m not a fan myself:-(.

Ostrich is very healthy actually much better than red meat for cholesterol.

Oh shame. It really has you in its grip. I hope it gets better soon.
