What a horrifying accident. I hope he is able to have a decent recovery. We have a friend whose son had a terrible motorcycle accident several years ago and broke an uncountable number of bones in addition to losing an arm. They didn't know if he would live or not for several weeks. But he did survive, is doing great with an advanced prosthetic arm and can mostly walk on his own (though he will use a wheelchair for long distances). Since then he has collaborated with the designer on his arm, became a motivational speaker working with others who have had similar traumatic injuries, and met and partnered with a wonderful woman.

I hope that cold stays at a low level. I actually think it is good that people now wear masks when they have something like a cold. I feel like we used to go to work and shed all kinds of germs (which is why I was always paranoid about touching doorknobs and stair railings at work). But it was unacceptable in those days to work from home and we were expected to be in the office unless we were incapacitated.

You absolutely are a savvy shopper to be prepared to feed all those people for $300! Do keep warm though! I used to work with people in offices in the mid-west and would hear how cold their winter was. Made me feel guilty complaining when the temperatures are in the 20s in Massachusetts.

I loved the polar bear hat! So great that you are jumping right into meeting people and having fun.

Where did you eat in ***** Gorda? When I lived in Port Charlotte we usually went out in ***** Gorda or Venice.

I think the slow mornings are one of the best parts of retirement. I used to think I would sleep later after I retired but I still get up fairly early partially to enjoy lots of coffee drinking, news reading, OH posting time and just ease into the day. Sitting here next to DH drinking my coffee with Justice on my lap is the best!
