Good morning! Sounds like a beautiful Florida day with nice weather and fun plans. Hope your DH has a satisfying round of golf.

Sunny here, but not very warm. I think it will be in the high 40s. 60s will return the end of the week. I really enjoyed the days in Memphis where we could walk around in the sunshine without layers of clothes. I mostly wore sandals, and one day, even a sundress. The sun is warm here now if you are in a sheltered spot, but the wind still bites.

The turn out yesterday for the march was amazing. We drove to Minneapolis, parked and got on the light rail line that goes to St. Paul. We followed a group of about 10 with signs from the parking ramp, and thought, good, some others are going. When we got on the train, we were so packed in I felt a little panicky. Every stop, the platform was jam packed with people, but there wasn't an inch on our train. We talked to people who said they waited over an hour for an opening.

Today I need to do some laundry, read my NYT Sunday paper, and get my head straight for returning to work tomorrow. It's only been a week, but it feels like a long time ago. I had an awesome break, and really disconnected from stressful thoughts. We have one more spring break activity: we are going out to dinner with some friends this evening.

And you are a beast (in a good way!)

The sneakers have real laces. I have 2 pairs, one pair at each house. The second pair I bought through their "rerun" program which are returns that they sell in like-new condition. I saved some money on them and they were truly just as if brand new.

i think some people volunteer for HOA boards because they enjoy enforcing rules (whether they make sense or not). Seems like that sort of person likes the feeling of power. We had a rule in my last place that each person could have one dog and one cat as long as they were under a specified weight and not an excluded breed. One woman who used to help care for an elderly woman ended up with the woman's 2 tiny Yorkshire terriers when she died. They probably weighed 3-4 pounds apiece. She did not have a cat. Someone turned her in for having two dogs so she had to find someone to take one of them. Really? The 2 together weighed less than my one ten pound chihuahua.

I hope you like the chicken marsalla - just be careful with the sauce because sometimes it ends up too thick (but still tastes good).

Good for you!
