Funny you should say that about the shopping. Seemed like that to us when we visited. The train sounds like fun - will love to hear how it goes. I think we will be back there next October as we have a family wedding in Scottsdale in mid-October.

Sorry for the loss of your friend. That's always a shock when contemporaries start to perish. Still seems so weird that DH died at only 67 (I will be 70 in March).

The moving definitely gets old after a while. I too had a couple of drawers of deceased DH's personal items and all those pictures to sort through before the move this summer. I'm not sure I ever would have done it if I stayed in that home.

Being able to shop in the closet is great fun, isn't it? When I moved from my longest term home to Cape Cod in 2014, I dumped all my small clothing (lots of size 2) because at that point I had given up on losing weight. After my VSG in 2016, I was kicking myself for doing that. I did not do that during regain after VSG though after learning that lesson.

Nice to feel that at least the main part of moving is done isn't it?
Looking under the house doesn't sound like fun though. You don't have basements in that part of the country either (we almost always have them in Massachusetts and pretty much never in Florida)?

Oh that train ride sounds fabulous!

Friends are here. The husband took Kirby for a run this morning! And per Kirby's MO, he came back more excited than he left. Exercising just lights his motor. Also true to form, he loves them and wants to crawl inside their skin as there is no such thing as close enough.
Then we went for breakfast and walked around shops. I really think the uptown shopping is horrible. T-shirt and crystal shops and bd restaurants. But we did walk around Tlaquepaque shopping center which is beautiful.
Tomorrow we are riding the Verde Valley Railroad, a 4 hour ride on a historic train through a canyon with historians and a bar... should be beautiful with the changing foliage.
I think that's all for now. I totally need a nap!
Take care!
Sorry for the loss of your friend. And your DH having a list of grievances currently made me chuckle!

It is really hard to decide what to keep and what to toss, especially for a deceased loved one. Both current DH and I have saved stuff that we can't quite part with yet. What a great quote on the kitchen remodel! Appliances will for sure add to that (says the woman who has replaced the refrigerator, microwave, range and now dishwasher in her kitchen!)

Greetings all
Checking in before I go out and about today. I plan to stop at the gym and studio before our piano thing tonight. So looking forward to getting DH out of the house. It's sunny but chilly today and thats ok. It is november. Our football team has no game today so we won't add a loss to DH list of grievances about the universe.
Well Bonnie, good luck with going under the house to look for ducts. Gotta admit I would hire that one as well. Many years ago we had the ductwork in our attic looked at and figured out it was not connected to anything and we were just heating the attic and not much else. Fixed that. Much better. Hate the idea of crawling in to such a space. More power to you.
Ann the remodel sounds great. Cost sounds great for a whole kitchen. Best part is DF is figuring it all out. All you have to do is wind up your old house! Piece of cake! Enjoy the process. Peanut butter and whiskey.
Yep Liz, pontoon boat sounds about right. Speed on a boat is not appealing. Glad it was fun.
Not much else. This is a really slow time of year for me. Christmas stuff is starting to show up. We are invited to friends for Thanksgiving so I will be spared the ordeal of cooking though I feel I must help my friend more than usual as this is the one who was so sick last summer.
Can't remember if I mentioned that one of my high school friends has died. Part of our 12 girl clique. This is the first one of our immediate group to pass. Guess we are getting to that time of life. RIP Jeanette.
