I started to be surprised at mosquitoes in Arizona and then remembered you were in Michigan! Nasty buggers.

Kind of a lazy day. Kirby and I walked a little over 2 miles this morning and on the road to whee the house is, we got stopped by a neighbor driving by to chat. I got eaten alive by mosquitoes while we were standing still. With all the rain they're really bad this year and this road stays damp and shady year round. Perfect for the bloodsuckers! I'm just covered in bites. They love me. Awful.
I brushed Kirby today, went to the store, sat outside, vacuumed, and made a really delicious pasta dish for dinner. It was not low calorie, but tasty. Oh and I shopped the Amazon sale. I actually needed stuff and was patiently waiting for today. My mesh wifi router is dying, so that was 43% off and my hairdryer smells like it will go up in flames any minute (electrical rather than dust or hair burning) and that was also 40% off. I was not going to get burned like last year when the tv I bought the week before ended up $500 less during Prime Day and I couldn't undo it!
I forgot to weight today. Tomorrow is shot day.
Hope you're all well!
Hey I planted flowers for the people who are going to walk through my house (in pots)!

Stepdaughter definitely is embracing a relationship with you. Having been arms length from my stepdaughter of 43 years for probably 30 of those years I can tell you that when they open up it is a wonderful thing.

She is having 6 attendants. Not sure who all will be at the dress seeking appointment.

Greetings
It's cool and misty here today. Needed wipers on the way to Scrabble. It was a triumphant day for me as I won all three games including defeating The Shark. He is a very serene person but was emoting quite a bit about his lack of play options! Funny.
I came back home rather than stop at the studio. I am expecting a call about our gallery lease. Member meeting tonight and I hope to be able to report.
Tuna salad for lunch. Dinner last night was scrambled eggs. Tonight might be equally humble as the meeting is at 5;30 and will surely make me cranky and unwilling to cook.
Paula so cool you get to go on the dress shopping mission. Thats the fun part. Is there a big entourage?
And yeah, having aunties (and sisters) can be great.
DD I hear you on the bedding plants. In the midwest I would always get them too early and then have to frost protect. Bet they do just fine.
Not much else. I woke up kind of achey today so I am consuming advil. DH has some new kind of leg vibrating device that you stand on. Actually he has two different ones. Hmmm

We really have come a long way and it just warms my heart!

We love the downtown! I grew up behind Grandad's Bluff!

Liz sorry that friend let you down. I hope the person who you can hire gets the painting done quickly and well. Yes, cats are really creatures of habit, and don't welcome changes to the routine of their humans. When my son was young enough to have a set bedtime, his cat would come and meow at him if he was staying up later.
Looks like a nice day today, no rain last night, and sunny this morning. We had a lovely evening with friends last night, and we were able to use the deck. Bonus is although we didn't deep clean, we did tidy up, and clean the bathrooms well. So we'll leave the house in decent shape tomorrow. BFF will be here most days we are gone. Hopefully she will keep my flowers alive. Every year I tell myself you're going to be traveling, don't put in a bunch of bedding plants, just have some baskets, but then I can't resist. They are looking very pretty this year with all the rain and no punishing heat.
This morning I have a pedicure appointment, and then I need to get serious about packing. The long range forecast for the beach looks mild, not the sweltering heat we've experienced the last 2 Julys on the east coast.
Lovely post, Paula. Your mom and aunts are fortunate to have each other. As those of us in this club know well, you gotta be in the club to appreciate the value of the club.
And how lovely that your stepdaughter is including you in the dress selection ritual. You've come a long way.
