118.2 - unchanged.
Last full day here in the snowy Northeast. Hopefully CC got home without too much difficulty and Paula and her DH have safe travels today. It will be cooler in Florida than it apparently was last week, but will warm up again next weekend. I'm sure we can manage 4 days of temps under 70 (but over 60 during the day).
Yesterday we had another fairly quiet day, though we did go meet DSD and SIL for a very nice dinner at a beautiful fish restaurant on the Cape Cod canal. Good food, service, and company.
Plans today are the usual bus trip in about 20 minutes, a Justice walk for as long as he will go in the snow (his feet get cold), then laundry, packing and cleanup in the house. And we have to go pick up the rental car to take to the airport tomorrow morning. I think we are doing leftover Chinese food for dinner, but DH may do that at lunch in which case we will go out and split something.
Have a streamer Sunday!

No big weekly trips here either. I remember when I was young mother I used to shop on the same day every week armed with a list which was prepared by studying what was on sale and planning meals around that. What a difference now. To shop for more than one dinner is unusual, though we do keep a running list of basics needed if they are getting low whi*****ludes our usual breakfast/lunch foods. I actually don't mind food shopping because I do go with a list and am fairly efficient. Like DD I don't like to plan too far ahead because we often have our plans change. My one guiding set of rules is that if I am going to cook it has to be easy, have relatively few ingredients (or it isn't easy), taste good, and last for a minimum of 2 meals for the 2 of us.

I've already ordered an induction range for my new FL house. I missed my WI one so much!

I don't do big weekly trips either. With just two of us, it seems a big grocery haul results in wasted food I have to toss. Sometimes I stock up big on canned goods if there is a sale, because I do use a lot of beans. But produce needs to be purchased every couple of days.
We started the day with big sun, too. Now it's completely clouded over. Boooooo!
Greetings all
Big sun today. I think the atmospheric river has fizzled and it will be nice for awhile. That means I have no more excuses to stay home and will get out and about today. Studio and maybe a grocery run. Seems like I no longer do the big week of groceries haul. So be it. I kind of want some kind of chicken in the slow cooker. Maybe another pot roast for new years day.
Happy birthday CC! Hope the rest of your travel is uneventful. And that you get a chilly house at last. Excess heat is almost worse than excess cold. Good choice to watch the Diplomat. Super series. Be safe.
And safe travels to the rest of you that are out and about. Snow shoeing? No thanks.
Liz I bet Justice will be thrilled to get on the plane when you go home. He needs his beach. So do you.
DD congrats on having a no cook day. Nothing is better than Christmas leftovers. That is one issue we have when dining at someone else's house - no leftovers. However I will still take it over doing all the cooking. And so nice that DD has the friends to pal around with. Priceless.
Paula glad you are on the way and the cat chronicles are over. Drive safe. Hope you plan to stay put for quite awhile.
Still contemplating the induction stove. I am gonna do it. Just considering the logistics.

On the road again.......
Just over 3 more hours of travel before we get to our stopping point for the night, Chattanooga!
So far traffic has been fine and the dogs are doing well in the car and no F bombs have been flying because of kids! We left at 5 am and ETA for Chattanooga is 6:04 according to Apple Maps on my car.
Catch ya all later!

We went to the Fever candlelight Queen show and it was awesome! I see they do them in Fort Myers too. Worth checking out for sure!
