Another lovely view Liz! It's 47 degrees here, your photo looks especially inviting today. As everyone else said, so glad you can be in Massachusetts for your daughter's surgery. It will be a great comfort to her, and to her husband.

Paula that soup recipe looks good. I must give it a try.

I need a laptop. I have a Mac Air book at work, and I REALLY like it, but I don't actually need all the features in my retirement life. But I want it. What I know I don't want: an iPad, a touch screen with a detachable keyboard, or anything bigger than 13 inch screen. I don't even know for sure why I want a Mac Air book so much. I don't have an iPhone, and I don't think I even want one, so it's not for the syncing capability. I use Google suit mostly, calendar, docs, Google meet etc. Probably because my Air Mac at work is so reliable, and easy to use.

I came home to DH cleaning the house. I like it!!!

We just bought a new laptop. Got an HP off of Amazon with a $200 off coupon! It is a 17 inch I think, so bigger than your specs! Our high today was supposed to be 35, but was 20 with windchill.

I had an old Mac Airbook and had to retire it. I didn't feel there was anything I couldn't do on my iPad. I do have a Bluetooth keyboard but rarely use it. I also have MS Word and Excel on it.

Much cheaper than buying a new airbook.

Greetings all

It is sunny here and even warm. I can see t shirts in the near future. Got a late start because DH wanted to watch an episode of Dexter since he could not find ancient aliens. Oh well. Skipped the gym (and feel guilty). Went to the studio and finished some things. Kilns unloaded today and there were loads of things to see. Always fun to look at the array of new items.

Yep Liz customs is no joke anymore. No fun allowed. My brother had steel bars around his ribs for awhile. He kept a picture of the X-ray and doctors report on his phone so he could show the TSA what they were. But yeah metal body parts could create issues. Guess our sleeve staples are titanium. Anyway glad your DD is moving forward and that you can go help even though it's a travel overload. No jet lag for you!

Peps I think you should stay put unless you travel to somewhere and fall in love with it. Good medical matters. And I bet you land in Eurppe under 200. Bet you are looking forward to the trip.

Stay warm Paula. There will be spring...

DD if you want a mac book then I say get it. DH has one but he has one of every apple thing. We both use our iPads extensively. DH reads constantly. Kind of depends if you want to read, write or both. I do any typing on a desk top mac but not all that much.

Eye doctor tomorrow. Probably will schedule the other eye. Hope so. I really need new glasses. So I may miss Scrabble or part of it. The Shark will have to torture someone else.

MOre tastee sandwhiches tonight. Love it when I don't have to think up a dinner.

Two new art items:

Delightful and so much sass!

They make me laugh!

I really like the second one!
