Rare puppycanducruise Posted May 26, 2021 #3 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Good morning. Thanks for the Daily Report. Happy Hump Day. Congrats to Sally Ride, an inspiration. Every day should be Senior Health and Fitness Day. I don't remember the last time I made a paper airplane, I guess I'll do that later. I think that quote is me. But maybe not.😉 Cooler and a few showers today, we need the rain. Sending prayers for everyone on the Care List. Cheers to all who celebrate. Stay safe. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
dfish Posted May 26, 2021 #4 Share Posted May 26, 2021 (edited) Good morning, everyone. Quiet night last night, but I did have the windows closed and the air on. I'm glad to say the air is working just fine. Senior fitness day means I'll be heading off for the gym in a few minutes. Monday, Wednesday and Friday I do the weight machines along with the pool. Today's meal is an easy one. Just make sure you wrap the rosemary inside the bacon. There were several sites with the recipe and the recipe was all basically the same. One suggestion was to use chicken thighs instead of breasts as they are juicier. Personally, I prefer breasts over thighs, but everyone has their own preferences and palates. https://www.allrecipes.com/recipe/217981/grilled-chicken-with-rosemary-and-bacon/ Edited May 26, 2021 by dfish 23 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare kazu Posted May 26, 2021 #5 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Thanks for the Daily, Rich and our morning smile 🙂 I’ll happily celebrate Sally Ride - a first who broke through the glass ceiling. Health and Fitness is important for everyone, not just seniors. But we seniors need to stay active both in body and mind 😉 LOL on the quote. The meal suggestion sounds like a good one. Not sure about the drink of the day - Sangria yes - crab-apple sangria??? The wine of the day is a winner, I’m sure. Love Spain’s Albarinos. Well worth paying a corkage fee on a BHB 😉 Unfortunately, I’m going to find myself back at the periodontist today. 5 days away from the final procedure and I have a problem he wants to check.

Here is a pic of the wonderful earth. It has gone up in price (thanks Covid) but still reasonable at $46 Cdn here and can fill a lot of planters. Prayers for those on the Care list & for those that need them and 🥂 to those on the Celebratory / Shout Out list. Happy Hump Day everyone.

Mr. Boston Posted May 26, 2021 #6 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Happy Wednesday all and thanks for the daily report. I remember Sally Ride as the first American woman in space. Senior good health and fitness shouldn’t be taken for granted. I’ll have to make a paper airplane today, sounds like fun! Funny quote today. I grilled chicken last evening so probably won’t repeat today. I’ve never been to Guam but I can’t wait to see the photos. Looks to be a warm day here today and hopefully the wind dies down so I can finish planting the last few plants before the weekend. Prayers to all those in need. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare rafinmd Posted May 26, 2021 #8 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Thank you for the Hump Day Daily, Rich. A great selection of days with a special shoutout to Sally Ride, a true American Hero. I was never good at paper airplanes. Senior Health and Fitness are especially important. I love the quote. Never been to Guam. The meal sounds so nice I hardly need an alternative but will add one anyway. It's Fruit Salad with Yogurt and Honey, and Turkey Roast with Giblet Gravy and Cranberry as served on MS Prinsendam May 26, 2015.

cat shepard Posted May 26, 2021 #10 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Thank you for today’s Daily, Rich! Cheers to Sally Ride! Every day is senior fitness & health here. Geesh, paper airplanes - I wonder how my local birds would feel about them? Jacqui & Roy thank you for keeping our lists! Morning Dailyites & my Sisters! Another gorgeous morning, but probably the last of our true Spring weather mornings here. I have been blessed. Last night’s moon was spectacular! We hung around the beach long enough to see it come up. It was too windy to take a picture- I could not keep my hair out of my face to see. Zumba day for me. We will see how warm it is when Vindi and I head out for our long walk. She is not a fan of humidity. So far the wind has kept it away from us. Love the quote. The meal sounds good. Summer that Sangria sounds good, but I usually think of cranberries as more of a Fall fruit. Of course it is Fall somewhere, right? Prayers for all who need our support. Cheers to all who are celebrating! Stay well everyone! ******** Today’s wine is made from the world’s tiniest grape! We all know good things come in small packages, right? The only recent info I could find about it was from an Australian wine site, so thank you to our friends down under! I found one online site in Mexico that ships to Florida for $24.21. I suspect this one might not be easy to find locally unless you are in Spain or Europe. La Fontana – Albariño D.O. Rías Baixas Albariño is the world’s tinest grape and has been referred to as “the perfumed aristocrat of Galicia,” by Jancis Robinson. The main region for Albariño is in the Rías Baixas appellation in the Galicia area of Spain. These wines have a distinctive flavour, similar to Sauvignon Blanc for its bright citrus appeal, as well as Viognier and Gewürztraminer for its aromatic floral notes. Production – 100% Albariño with 70% macerated on lees Colour – Bright yellow with golden -green iridescence Nose – Tropical fruit, green apple, banna and Kiwi Palate – Smooth and pleasant acidity with ripe fruit flavours dominated by peach. Good structure and a long pleasant finish Pairing – Idea with fish and seafood or as an apéritif. 23 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasick Sailor Posted May 26, 2021 #16 Share Posted May 26, 2021 This is for Roy and me: I could never make a decent paper airplane. My brother gave me his all the time. He built, I flew. Good morning Dailyites and our special friend Rich.. Thank you muchly! Love and hugs to my sweet sisters! I am all for senior fitness! But we are trying to watch what we eat. Had halibut and salad last night. Making seabass in a not so weight friendly.. beurre blanc sauce tonight. The meal of the day looks real good Deb, but I would make it with thighs.. Thank you Jacqui for adding our friend to the care list. Poor guy.. prayers to all on our care list and lifting a glass tonight (see? That's fitness) to all on our celebration list. We have our 1 year home inspection today. Hope all goes smoothly. 20 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
smitty34877 Posted May 26, 2021 #17 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Good morning everyone. It promises to be a hot humid day here complete with thunderstorms later. @cat shepard, our Fred agrees with Bindi about humidity. We took our long walk early and he still challenged me at every corner as he was wanting to go home ASAP. Thanks to Rich for the Daily and to our list makers,recipe finders and contributors. It is always such a pleasure to visit here each day. I will celebrate Sally Ride and Senior Health and Fitness. I remember getting in trouble with the nuns for sending a paper airplane to my friend across the room. So funny the things one remembers from so many years ago... We have plans to visit with family later in the week and I still pinch myself with the new reality we can carefully experience. Have a wonderful day today.

StLouisCruisers Posted May 26, 2021 #18 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Good morning, folks! Thanks Rich for the Daily. Without it we wouldn't know what special days to honor, our menu suggestion or where our ships are located. Props to Sally Ride's accomplishments and may she RIP. I'm not sure how great I'd bee at making paper airplanes but could give it a try. And I applaud National Senior Health and Fitness Day. I am happy to say our gym at the Sun City Amenity center is now open without reservations or masks. The hours aren't as good as they used to be yet, but will be soon they say. I really need to get back in there to work on the weight machines. I've lost all my muscles! The menu today looks interesting. I always appreciate the photo with the recipe Debbie so thank you for that. Sometimes seeing that delicious dish prepared can spark you into preparing it. My DB tells me he is working with his PCP, his cardiologist, and his insurance company to get the paperwork straightened out so he can get the procedure he needs. Apparently there was a glitch in "whoever did whatever". I never did understand the rules of insurance companies. So confusing. The news coming out of my DS's hospital is not good, but at least they've relented and started allowing more visitors per day. I'm not sure if that is hospital-wide or because of her condition. My twin will be going to visit later this morning and give me a full report, so I can decide what I need to do. I may be making flight reservations, etc. later today to get up there to see sister. Please say some extra prayers today for Nancy! I have never been to Guam before. I started keeping a list of the ports to see which ones I need to study for future travels. Since March 1 this is the longest stretch of days that I have a NO in the column next to the name of the port. Four days in a row! Wow! When DH says I think we've pretty much been everywhere I can conclusively show him we have not. Time to book more cruises. 25 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

cunnorl Posted May 26, 2021 #20 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Good Morning from a warm and sunny day at the beach A salute to Sally Ride and may she rest in peace. Today there is a rocket launch and so I will sent a special prayer for her along with the rocket. Quote is a good one. I am like that sometimes. I try to stay active but I dont like machines in the gym. I prefer swimming or walking. I walk most of the time that I play golf so hopefully it is doing something! Never been to Guam. Thanks to anyone who can post the pictures. There are just too many places that I have not been. Hope to change that soon!! @StLouisCruisers Special prayers for your sister. Will be thinking of you and your family today. It is never easy and when you are separated by distance, it seems worse. Hope the news will be better from your twin. Stay safe and enjoy today 17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mamaofami Posted May 26, 2021 #21 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Good morning everyone.A shout out to Sally Ride. Senior fitness is something I should take more seriously. I think I love the quote, but am not sure. Off to the Opthomologist for my yearly checkup that is at least 6 months overdue. I’m sure I need new reading glasses, even if the prescription is the same because they are very scratched. Expecting temps in the high 90s with an afternoon storm. Hope to make it home before the rain. Prayers for everyone on the list. Stay safe, Carol 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ger_77 Posted May 26, 2021 #23 Share Posted May 26, 2021 Good morning, thanks for the Daily! I distinctly remember watching the lift-off when Sally Ride went into space, thinking with pride, that a woman finally broke through the glass ceiling in a rather spectacular way. Senior health and fitness is important, both physical and mental. Love making paper airplanes; for our DS's 18th birthday party, we had a bunch of friends his age in our back yard and I brought out a box full of computer reject paper for them to make paper airplanes. Seriously, you'd think they were all 6 years old again - the competition was fierce! We haven't been to Guam, but our DS and DDIL flew there for a week from Tokyo and both said they absolutely loved it. They said it was like Hawaii, except it wasn't as commercialized. I'm looking forward to seeing photos on here. We had to cover the plants again last night - yes, we had frost - but the temps are gradually warming again and hopefully this is the last night until fall that we have to cover the plants. DH is still asleep, so will have to see what the day brings as far as a reaction to his 2nd jab. Hopefully there won't be any to worry about! Speaking of worrying, I worry about all the dear grandchildren who are breaking bones! Those poor little ones; I always feel bad for them when I see them in casts and slings. I like today's menu suggestion, and have everything except the rosemary - a quick run into the grocery store will fix that. I'm not a fan of grilling bacon though, as the flare-ups can be quite dramatic from the fat dripping onto the burners. I may try it in the air-fryer and see how it turns out. Along with a side dish of dilled potatoes and a vegetable, that will make a nice dinner at our house tonight. And wine. Prayers for everyone who needs them and even for those who don't think they do. Extra healing prayers for Roy, and for those recovering from illness. Clinking the glasses together tonight to toast all on the happy list. Be well, stay safe, wash your hands, wear your mask(s), and get your jabs! Smooth Sailing! 🙂🙂🙂 Gerry 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
