We would describe that as a slow news day! Lol! I remember my grandma's very small town newspaper describing the social happenings of the town, who had family over for a visit, who hosted coffee at their house, who attended the church bazaar, what Mary Ann made for dinner! Lol kind of sounds like our conversations on here some days! All about each other's lives!

Greetings all

Continued sun here. There are beach warnings but no wind. I guess the sneaker waves are really bad and dangerous. A few days ago a local man was fishing and got washed away. He had a wife and a couple of little kids. Not safe. Good thing I have no urge to go fishing.

So today is our 31 wedding anniversary.. Time flies. Not doing anything special except going to our favorite restaurant with the ocean view which has good small plates. Plus we will stop by the gallery so I can take some new stuff. A trip to the gym in a bit and thats about all. I made grilled roast beef sandwiches last night with smoked cheddar and that was good.

Hmm Liz that dog is giving Justice the stink eye. Hope you don't meet up with it on walks. But it looks like a great spot - enjoy. Somewhere 5000 miles away DD has her toes in the same ocean!

CC you are industrious. Good on you for getting those repairs done. And FYI husbands don't always do the guy maintenance chores. My DH is great with electronics but other stuff ????. Along with a nicer larger home comes more devices and items to break and things to clean I guess. And a water spout from the Toto???!!! What a mess. Glad you had a fun lunch and got to hear about Antarctica. One of my scrabble friends went there last year and was really impressed. I would go if it wasn't so hard to get there.

Rats on the golf cart chronicles Paula. What a crappy dealer. Is there such a thing as the Better Business Bureau any more? I guess these days it is a bad Yelp review.

Not much else. I really need to find some new things to do before I am totally fossilized. Art is rather uninspired these days and I need to come up with new stuff. Good time to experiment as sales are slow at the gallery and I don't have to worry about production.

If I were someone who could mange to find a husband, I would have waited! But given my unending singleness I'm glad I didn't. When you're on your own, you learn how much you are capable of and it challenges your creativity. While I would be very grateful for help and a husband to share the load with, I have learned you just have to get on with it. Do what you're capable of and ask for help or hire it out if you can't. And I've had a lot of decades to get creative with how to do hard things by myself. Lots of Youtube tutorials! I will say, my last house was never this much work. But the cold/heat/sun cycle here is brutal on houses.

I commend you being a homeowner as a single person! I wouldn't want all that responsibility for home maintenance. In fact, I made sure that DH and I were going to get married before buying our last house, otherwise I'm pretty sure I would have rented (which I know had it's own set of problems). Thankfully DH is very handy and home maintenance helps keep his ADHD in check a bit! The man can't sit still! You seem to be pretty handy yourself! Good for you!

Great solution!
