Started the road trip home at 4:15 am. Emma dog got me up a little after 3 to finally go potty (she pretty much refuses to go until she can't wait any longer when traveling). I tried to fall back asleep but no luck. DH was awake too so we just decided to get up and start driving. I think we got home around 3. 2 long days of travel!
Lots of crap eating while traveling. McDonald's the first day and Taco Bell today. We have to just get drive through stuff because of the dogs. At least it is only one bad meal per day, not 3. We will see what the scale says tomorrow.
I will go to water aerobics tomorrow before the cold front hits FL. Probably won't go Tuesday-Thursday unless we don't get hit that hard.

I can just picture Kirby rolling around in all his fluff! Emma dog hopped right up on our bed as soon as we got home!
Crazy week for hikers!

We love Nobody wants this! I got the Samsung Bespoke with convection oven with air fry and air sous vide and of course induction for the stove top. Same as what I had in WI except I got black stainless steel in WI and just stainless steel here in FL to match the rest of the appliances.

Tee Hee DD fast forwarding through the combat scenes. Years ago I read The Hobbit and loved i****ched the movie Lord of the Rings and hated it. It was just one fight scene after another and then it just stopped when they got to some big fort. No thanks. Explosions are ok if they are a spy thriller but not alien guts and gore. The new series DH started called Alien something is a series based on the old Alien movie. Gag. I have advised that it must be watched while I am out. Fortunately, DH likes all kinds of shows and likes chick shows like Emily in Paris.
And how wonderful that your kids are getting their lives worked out. You done good. DS

What a lovely family you have that far outshines the difficulty your mother brings to your life! It's like life has to stay in balance. All that good is more appreciated with a "spicy" mom to bring the contrast.
Kirby rolling around, announcing to all I am home and these are my spots : )
Am I the only one who will be living in a northern town by tomorrow? DS left for Wisconsin at 6:00 am this morning, because a snowstorm was coming around 9am. It was one of those beautiful snowglobe kind of snowfall, but it did accumulate fast, and it was slippery. They made it home before the storm reached them in Madison.
My BIL's 6 children and their spouses and the grandchildren were all at his house today. The Arizona and California grandkids loved the snow until they got cold, then not so much. We had brunch with them and my heart is so full right now. They were my babies too, and we spent so much time together when they were growing up. We were so broke when our kids were little, but at the same time so rich in relationships. At least once a week my SIL and I would take them all swimming during the summer and I babysat her whole crew every Tuesday so she could go to Mass in peace. Like I held them, I loved holding their babies today.
DD is here until early Tuesday morning. She and her boyfriend have tossed around the idea of moving to Minnesota because it would be easier to buy a home here, and, i think DD is feeling a pull towards home that she didn't feel before. Of course we would love it, but we want her to be that is what she really wants. She would decide this summer.
As far as we know there has been no formal proposal or ring, but DS and his girlfriend are talking about what kind of wedding they want to have and even said they will probably get married in May 2027. We are delighted. She is lovely, and they are happy and peaceful together.
Tomorrow we will probably go out for coffee. Tuesday we will put DD on the plane back to Boston. For New Year's Eve, DH and I plan on going out for brunch together, and then a quiet night at home. New Year's Day we will visit some friends at their new vacation home in a cute little tourist town in southern Minnesota on the Mississippi River. Then, we begin packing in earnest for Brazil.
