Cute cupcakes!
189.2 Nice to see an 8 in there! As is always the case with me being tall, the losses are hard to notice.
It's hot here. 80 yesterday and 79 today. The folks are loving it. And while I can objectively see it's beautiful, it's too soon to be this beautiful!
The flagstone cap went in easily yesterday! As easily as a 750 pound piece of rock can. So that can be ticked off the list. The gate install starts Monday. The folks go home Wednesday so we're in the final stretch.
Today is my crazy neighbor's birthday, so I will go get her an orchid or something along those lines. She always gets me something.
Otherwise, we need to figure out dinners for the next few days and go to the grocery store and walk the dog.
That's all from here!

Last day of DD's visit. She leaves at 4 this afternoon. We had a good golf tournament yesterday. Lots of complements from everyone on the event and the luncheon. It really did go off well even though our golf foursome came in DFL (last). But we had fun playing! I played a lot better on Sunday. For some reason I reverted back to my prior play.
Dinner last night at the Beach Club was enjoyable and delicious. DH had 2 glasses of wine which he usually doesn't drink (he is a light beer guy), so I had to drive home. He definitely was a bit sloshed.
Today is probably beach prior to DD's departure since it is going to be a beautiful day and she has to go home to lots of snow. Dinner will likely be leftovers.
Power came on finally yesterday afternoon at my SILs home and DH's home on Cape Cod. Hopefully there are no broken pipes. I did some research and it seems likely that there wouldn't be any given the amount of time the power was out and the fact that the house was unopened. The temperature probably dropped to somwhere in the high 30s to low 40s.
Justice heartworm pill coming up (in cheese, his favorite), then walk time. Have a fabulous Friday!
DD and me in the golf cart:

Congratulations on the sales! Hopefully you will have a steady stream of them. Do you have a Habitat Restore or similar near you? Could be a great resource for used frames.

Definitely have that ankle checked out. I have a lot of arthritis but it doesn't usually give sudden pain (more of a constant ache). The times I have had sudden pain in my joints are when a bone spur or similar causes damage to something else like a ligament.
I agree with Paula - studio buddy must stretch out the time at your home due to loneliness.

So sorry that getting home was so difficult! That's the hard part of travel. But the weeks prior were filled with experiences. So interesting that they eat in such a healthy way compared to people in the US. I bet their obesity rate is a lot lower.

I love the idea of thrifting frames and then upcycling them into something beautiful.

Liz, hope you and DD had fun at the golf tournament! Please share pics! You always come up with such fun outfits for your themed events!
OH is being slow and wonky so I hope I don't lose this post.
Got my first sales report email today and I made 3 sales yesterday and 3 sales today! Today it was only cards, but if I do that every day, I will be sitting pretty. I'm sure sales are happening because I'm the new gal on the block though and have new fun stuff to choose from! I also made an Esty sale today! I just reopened my shop 2 days ago! Much higher profit margin! Yay!
No water aerobics due to Bible study but I will go tomorrow. Will try and thrift some used frames to increase my profit margin and will look for some shells to either decorate the outside of some frames with or use in shadow boxes that I am going to market and see if they will sell. I also ordered some photo tote bags today to see if they go over well. It really is a different market from the Fine Art fairs I did. My Esty site will still cater to the Fine Art crowd.
Have a good evening everyone!
Sorry about your ankle pain. The sudden jolting nature of it makes me think you should get it checked out by a doctor if it continues!
Does studio buddy pay in kind (maybe a nice meal out?) for all the help DH gives her? Do nice if you guys to let her come over so often. I'm sure it is more about being lonely than actually needing computer help!
Oh man, what a crazy trip home! Glad you are back safe and sound and sorry your view is of snow instead of beautiful Brazil! At least you can go to your favorite coffee shop soon and give your Dad a hug!
