119.4 - down another .4. Probably because I ate very little for lunch. We went to a place where our friends think the grouper Reuben is wonderful. I hated it because it was fried with a whole lot of extra crunchy batter. I ate a very small amount of the fish after stripping off the batter and a few fries.

Before going to lunch I sat in the sun on our dock with Justice. Very pleasant. This was after our 5 deer walk. They are such sweet creatures. Apparently that is part of the reason they are endangered. They are getting too used to coexisting with humans.

Today we were going to go to Key West to poke around a bit and go to dinner there. Not sure if that is happening now as the more mobile of our friends says her hips are hurting her so she can't walk around. Her DH is usually the one least mobile because his ability to walk was greatly affected by the stroke he had almost 40 years ago. As he ages, he is starting to use a walker periodically and sometimes a wheelchair. I guess DH and I are lucky that we rarely have any issues affecting our mobility. Regardless we will take our usual 4 mile walk with Justice this morning.

Have a timely Tuesday!

Your Dad has changed a lot in the last few months, but it is good that he is happy.

Congratulations on being back to your weightlifting. I am sure you must feel pleased (even if a little sore) about that.

Poor Buster. My beagles used to get ear infections periodically and they did not love the drops I had to put down into their ears. Luckily the chihuahuas don't get them much with their upright ears.

I think snowboarding was new when my younger kids took lessons. As I recall youngest DD preferred snowboarding over skiing right away. I did see a couple of brief snippets of ice dancing yesterday while we were out to lunch but that's it so far.

Enjoy that weather! I am missing water aerobics but it is finally beautiful weather here too.

I hope your leftovers were somewhat substantial. It does sound like you needed something a bit more.

Each day seems to be bringing gifts to you. I am sure that your Mom was flitting around in happiness for you.

The deck off the ship we were on was great but also not so easy to get back onto. The stairs were a little high. DH had to slither into the deck and was making porpoise noises after he did so to the amusement of the other people that day.

Some cultures are much more kind to aging people than America. We had companions with my MIL almost 100% of the time in her last couple of years and most of them came from Jamaica. Such kind and caring women. They told us a lot of them did that work because it was an extension of what they would have been doing in their own country - taking care of their aging family members.

Yeah it does take a while to rebuild the stock that one is used to having access to.

Now that's ambitious. I don't think I could keep up with that though I do check dates on stuff and clean obvious spills. It's that stuff under the drawers that I only get to about once a year unless some major mess in the refrigerator forces me to do it sooner.

Greetings all

It is overcast today but not raining. More like our usual winter. I went to the studio to pick up newly fired stuff and made a few things. After that I stopped at the bank for some cash and decided to take out a new CD since I had extra in the checking. Had to call my niece to get her SSI number since she is beneficiary. I told her don't worry I am not croaking. Money from my mom that she should have.

CC how adventurous you are to clean out the fridge. Good plan. Get rid of all the jars with one pickle and who knows how many mustards!! Nice going. Now you are set for guests and the fridge is good for quite awhile. Reminds me of when we moved and had to clean out. Amazing what was discovered and some complete unknowns in the freezer.

Yep Paula you had better get some real food. For sure something hot. Like soup.

DD what a great boat ride. (said as one who cannot get back on a boat without help). You are rocking the beach days and the grotto sounds very special. And agreed about the hummingbird. A message for sure.

Chili tonight left over from last night. We had a fun super bowl watch whi*****luded cheesecake. We liked the Bad Bunny show. Also watched some Olympics. I like the skiing and figure skating and snow boarding. Years ago I used to ski and I remember times before there were any snow boarders. Skiers hate them because of how the boards scape the snow around into bumps. Someone once told me snowboarding was like falling down the stairs with your shoes tied together. Those jumps are astonishing,

Diane S

Yay for beach days Liz! I did make it to water aerobics today!

I didn'****ch any of the Super Bowl or the commercials. Heard some chatter about the half time show (mostly good). I'm not much into tv if DH isn't around. He is now in Milwaukee to be with DSD after her surgery tomorrow.

Still busy distressing frames and printing out photos. I'll post a few on TT!

Not sure what I will have for dinner. Breakfast was a Built Puff bar and snacks throughout the day consisted of wasabi peas, 3 fresh mozzarella pearls (the tiny ones) and a Swiss roll! Feeling like I want some "real " food but don't really want to make it! I do have some leftovers from last night that I can warm up!

Wow! Your cleaning energy is impressive!

We had so much junk in the fridge when we moved but we tossed most of the good stuff too. We were not going to bring coolers stuffed with condiments and the like! Pretty pricy to replace everything though and I still keep finding things we are missing during meal prep and with dinners!
