Not feeling the love today...
Greeted the day with news that my dad had once again been taken by ambulance to the ER. He fell at some point during the night (my brother and I suspect when he was going to bed) trying to turn off a lamp in his living room. He did not use is "Life Alert" button around his neck. He lay on the floor all night until someone found him at 5:45. Sigh... He's fine and back at home. I went to visit after lunch today and he was completely at ease, but cognitively somewhere else. He had some **** and bull story about being at his vacation place getting the mail which had been sprayed with glue and he fell, well the mailman fell because he actually did not fall, while he was trying to open the glued mail. So you see, it wasn't his fault genetically. I know well enough to just go with it, but dayum!!!! Ain't dementia grand?!?!?!?!
Still annoyed with what's his name that sits in a chair in my living room.
I've eaten a lot of crap food the past two days. LOL!
Liz, I'm envious of Mike's weight in the 190s. Not like I couldn't be there, too, but envy works for me today. 
Upper grade and middle school concert tonight. Need to get my butt in gear for that.
204.4 today.
Greetings all
Sunny but windy here. I piddled around all morning getting little done. Messed around for a half hour trying to change the password on my medicare supplement account because of billing changes. I only had to talk to three different people, none of whom spoke English very well but the last one at least knew what he was doing. Then I decided to go to the nursery to get deck plants. It is so windy that the awnings covering the plants outside were really flapping and made me nervous. They had no sweet peas nor chinese chives. I got other herbs and a few bedding plants. This is a nearby nursery and I guess I have to go to a bigger on in the next town to get my sweet peas. First world problems.
Costco hot dogs! Gotta admit I have never had one. By the time I have trudged through that place I just want to escape so I never stop for one. Just as well. My treat was always the 25 cent bottled water. And yeah there are actually some good hot dogs in the world. I like the all beef ones. Used to be a gourmet hot dog stand on the plaza near my old office. Actually gourmet hog dog is probably an oxymoron.
Liz I can't imagine how your club will pull off a fancy wine and hot dog dinner but who knows. Maybe Wagyu beef hot dogs. Find out from someone what they actually serve at that event. We are curious. Does that club have a web site? Gosh Aruba already? You guys sure do a lot of fun stuff.
Not much else. I need to make a list of my summer projects and prioritize them. Monday I go to the eye doctor and must demand some new kind of glasses. My distance vision is great but close is terrible and when shopping it is disconcerting to take glasses on and off to see something 10 feet away vs 2 feet away. I had those transitions lenses for years before the cataract stuff and those worked well. Again, first world problems.

Speaking of fun, Paula enjoy all the wedding festivities. Hope the weather stays decent so all the chores are easy.
So I made the broccoli ricotta bake last night. It was ok but not great. Needs more parmesan cheese. I do think it would be quite good with spinach. I am making an effort for us to get more veggies and DH pretty much hates most of them. He will make a costco run tomorrow so I am asking for shrimp.

After I read Diane's comment about hot dogs I recalled that there is a Wine Dinner at the club with hot dogs this week. The Wine Dinners are generally elegant dinners with multiple fancy foods paired with wines from a specific vineyard or distributor. The theme this week is "Take me out to the ballgame", and hot dogs are one of the featured foods. Cute idea, but we are not spending $125 a person for that.
Paula, first celebration for the wedding tonight! Have a great time!
The next week here is forecast to be very sunny and HOT! Summer has definitely arrived. We need to do the longer dog walks early and late in the day with just short ones in mid-day. We may go to the beach club but only if there is a nice breeze by the water and will stay under the umbrella. Good training for Aruba in 2 weeks. Speaking of which, DH lost another couple of pounds and wants to be down 3 more to 190 by Aruba. That may be a stretch. His weight loss is noticeable to everyone now.
Tonight we are going to a fancy restaurant by the water an hour away. Many people have recommended it over the years but we have never made it there. One of those things to do in the last weeks here that we have put off all year. The total bill will most certainly be less than that wine dinner with much better food.
I am done with golf here for the season. Worst game ever yesterday. Maybe I should take the summer off entirely, then start the fall with lessons? It would save on packing.
Have a thirsty Thursday!

Poor doggies (and humans). Long rides in the car are not fun.
But the wedding celebrations will be! Have a great time!

Haven't had a ricotta bake in a long time. Nor have I had a good hotdog. Hmmm...

Geez, that was a close call with the pesticide. That stuff is dangerous. I'm pretty uncoordinated doing things like that so I could end up getting myself too. Good thing you were close to that sink!
The sun damage is incredible there in Arizona. I guess you just have to plan for regular replacement of anything outdoors.

Costco hot dogs are the bomb! (And I'm not a big lover of hot dogs!)
I've never had a Costco hotdog! I know my Dad was fond of them though! I'll take the rotisserie chicken!

Long travel day. Glad to be at our VRBO. Dogs for the most part traveled well, we drugged both of them with Trazodone. I'm pretty sure Emma peed on me a bit in the car. She was on my lap the whole time and my shirt and pants were a little wet when we took one of our bathroom/gas stops.
Tomorrow we need to pick up DC2 at the airport, take possession on the grand cat and do some errands for DSD. Tomorrow night there will be a gathering with the families and entire bridal party at the bridal party's VRBO. I think they are having Qdoba cater it. I think one of our errands is picking up the food for the party. Hope it was paid for in advance. Our monetary contributions to the wedding were given long ago!
