If it's Saturday, we must be in Burlington, VT. We drove from the middle of nowhere to here during mid-day yesterday, stopping at a hole-in-the wall deli and market to get a great sandwich. Dinner last night was at a farm-to-table place with nice ambiance and good food. DS had recommended it from when he was in school near here.

I booked our flight back to Florida on October 14. Less than 2 months away during which time we will have DD's engagement dinner (tonight), bachelorette party (next weekend) and wedding (end of September). Along the way, DH is celebrating his 70th birthday and we have to get the house cleared out. Time to relax once we get back to Florida!

I had a terrible dream this morning that Justice disappeared. I was offering a $500 reward for his return. I did get a reassuring video of him this morning already from his caretaker.

Have a stupendous Saturday!

Rainy morning. We went for lobster rolls, but I ended up with the shrimp po'boy. Tasty. I mostly ate the grilled shrimp innards. There was a lot of butter swimming at the bottom, so picking up the sandwich wasn't possible. The folks got lobster rolls. They looked good, but I'm not sure I like lobster enough to spend that much for a sandwich!

I need to go to the grocery store today when it stops raining. And later walk Kirby. But that's all I have to do.

Not much else going on here. Have a good day!

I've become kind of picky about lobster rolls since DD moved to the East Coast. It's not that you can't get good lobster in the Midwest, but there's always the chance you'll get substandard, chewy, not so sweet lobster this far inland. Price aside, I would go with shrimp too.

I have found you at last! Long convoluted and still not exactly resolved story involving email addresses needed for sign ins that no longer exist and misplaced hard copies of passwords lost in the move, etc etc etc. Technology 17, Me 0; no matter, it will work out in the end somehow.

House is a total train wreck and despite my efforts, I still brought over too much. No problem as the purging spirit remains and I know St Vinnies will welcome all this bedding and linens I'm about to shoot their way.

Typing this out on a cell phone is nuts and I'm back to sorting and playing with my new doll house which is very enjoyable at the moment. No time factor-no pressure and am getting my steps and strength training in for sure.

Congratulations on the move!

Yeah! I was missing your updates. And yeah for all the blessings on their way to St. Vinny. I love the work they do.

Glad you solved the login mysteries. Sometimes happens to me, too. And congrats on the move part of the move being done. All these transitional phases are challenging.

Off and on rain here too.

DS 3 and I went to the macro insect photography exhibit which was pretty cool. Snacked on string cheese for lunch and then will have an early dinner at the sushi place. I get an appetizer called avocado flower which is spicy crab meat wrapped in avocado petals. It has some of those fried crunchies added in too. Very good and no rice!

Nothing else really happening today.

This has been a weird summer in the Midwest. So.much.rain. Again, so happy to know I will be retired in a year, with the option of chasing the sun and warmth when needed. And soon, you'll be living in the sunshine state!

That app sounds great!
