Thursday afternoon in FL

[bluepinecones]

Surprised to log on and not find post in Morning coffee.
This is my last day at a very nice campground in north FL. Leaving tomorrow to see Liz for a few days. After that just one more brief stop before I have to head back home. Been unusually cold/cool in FL so far tho probably more 70 degree days than not. And I've been fortunate enough to dodge most of the rain. Very windy today, in fact it is rocking Magic as I type.
So glad I was able to make trip. Have had opportunity to see many friends and meet several new ones.

Still morning here for another 13 min. Sun is out, but cooler day than
Sat weekend. Rain again tomorrow. Yesterday, late afternoon, we had a nice rolling, rumbling thunder storm and good rain shower. Never did see any lightning. My handyman is down with back injury from working on a friends car, so I'm in hold mode on several projects here, from decks to my van (he needs to help lift battery out so can go get new one.) headed on errands shortly then work on stuff here. Need to finish gathering tax pers so I can input them into my assistant (Turbotax)! Doesn't take long but it's a pain to do and haven't done without. Y other assistant (Mel) in over 35 years since I began doing them.
Recently noticed interesting thing happening. Last summer and through first of year, I was losing much more hair than usual, likely aided by stress. I knew time would help but decided about January to try a supplement of Biotin capsules. Just this past week or so I suddenly realized I'm getting only a hair or two when I brush vs handfuls just weeks ago. I marvel I had any hair left at all. Now my head has fuzzy new hair growing all over. First time in my life ive ever really noticed this whole natural process. Had my waist length hair trimmed to a few inches past my shoulders and now with hair regrowth, it's looking so much better and makes me feel better. If you think you are losing more hair than usual, I'd say it's worth taking a look at a Biotin supplement. I got mine on Amazon after reading many reviews. Probably stop it once this bottle is empty.
Have a good day all and stay safe.

We are having a beautiful Spring day in the way SE coastal area of TX! Temps are probably touching upper 70’s. I just walked over to meet a lady and her husband a few rows away. Had a nice visit. They are new to this life style. Not full time but most-time I guess. I am about to be in a quandary as I am running out of bread and I really don’t want to take the car loose, go to town and then hook up again. I am thinking I may cook a can of biscuits I have had a bit and that will be breakfast and in a pinch I can throw salami in it for a samwich. But, wait, this RV park is serving breakfast in the morning! No need to cook that tonight....veggies are I tonight.

Sarah, I hope you are still hanging around at Liz area next Monday. I hope to get there then. Would love to see you again as it has been a long time. Hoping all the bad weather managed to miss your home place. It is kind of like AL is the new ‘tornado alley’. TX and OK will gladly hand it over to you! Be safe if we miss each other.

Velda, glad you are having luck with your hair. I have heard of the Biotin shampoo and conditioners but not the supplements. That’s good to know information. Sorry that your handy man is down in his back and putting your schedule on hold. Bet you are getting a little excited for your first trip in a long time. Hope you get information about son finishing training so you can get a trip lined up. I am sure it will all work out in the end.

Good afternoon!

Just got home. I stopped at a Great Clips in Palm Desert this morning and got my haircut shorter. Just couldn't take it hanging on my neck anymore. Got it cut into kind of a wedge. Then had breakfast and stopped at a visitor center on the way up the mountain. Once over the mountains, it started raining, off and on, off and on, off and on... couldn't make up it's mind what to do! Just when I pulled in my driveway, we had one little downpour and now the sun is out.

Now I need to go thru all my photos and get some posted. Then frost my hair tonight. Then back to work tomorrow. It was a fun relaxing couple days tho!

Some of my co-workers recommend Biotin capsules to their customers. I have heard it works pretty good and now I know someone else who has tried it and had success with it! Good to know!

Thanks for the Biotine tip.
Yes Birdie I will be at Liz's until Tuesday.

We had another sunny day. My clothes hamper was running over so decided I better wash some clothes. I hadn't even unloaded my dirty clothes from last weekend. Decided to mow in front of the barn before it gets out of control. The last time we put the cows in there they broke a water pipe. Some fence panels need to be put around the pipes so they don't cause anymore damage. Rotated the tax boxes and hauled the oldest one to the old house so I could get last years box out of the middle of the floor.

I will have to look for some Biotin. I had read somewhere that Prenatal Vitamins were good for your hair so that's what I take. I think they helped a little but I don't remember to take them very regularly. My eye doctor had recommended that I take PreserVision Areds.

Birdie, are you going to the GTG at Hillsborough River? I went a couple of years ago. I still remember the strawberry shortcake. They were selling strawberries on the side of the road near the campground last weekend. I haven't seen any near here yet but don't know what I would do with a flat of strawberries. I know, I could make a strawberry pie or quite a few pies.

I noticed more hair in my brush a year or so ago and started taking Biotin dissolvable tablets I got at Costco. I also wanted it to help strengthen my nails that had started to split. It’s worked wonderfully for both and I take it regularly since my multivitamin only has a very small amount.

guess I will have to go get some bioten ... my problem with my hair is the top is thin the length is good and thick... and my nails they struggle with splitting and whatever else bought some stuff to put on them that worked in the past and never have remembered to use it need to do that
didn't get taxes done as the computers were down so will do that next week then Alice and I went to Parker and the wally world got stuff for my friend and myself as well.. now I need to pull out her costs so I can tell her tomorrow.. have games and on Friday we do food so Mel made taco bowls and I am going to do the meat got some fruit need to cut should be really good...Kerry will be leaving next week (she plays games with us) so wanted a nice meal... talked with the sister last night she feels she will still need my help when she goes home to get to drs. suggested that I could park the 5th wheel in the church's parking lot or on a section of street not far from her house... hmmm I think not!!!! so need to figure out what to do... can think of some option's none of which I want to do one would be better that the others but when I don't know how long I will need to be there. Her son went to the dr. about his clavax and was told he needed to wear the sling for 3 more weeks then PT and he has an appointment some time in April... so he is going to continue wearing the sling until he see's the dr. I think the three should be up next week... but so will have to figure out once again what I need to do... but it will not be leaving the 5th wheel in a parking lot in Vegas!!! then tonight Alice and I went to supper for fish... was really good
