118 - up a bit but no surprise. Great food last night: shrimp, oysters, lobster, steak, and cream puffs. Yummy! It was a great party - 415 people with tables packed in the usual restaurant area and around the pool. Lots of dancing poolside (and as far as I saw, no one fell in LOL).
Today is water aerobics while DH golfs. First I will take Justice for his long walk alone. Need to get moving to get ready as I stayed in bed an extra 25 minutes this morning.
Dinner out tonight with DH's work friend and wife who just moved here. I wouldn't mind staying home as we will be busy all next week with DH's family but everyone wants to pack in stuff before the holidays.
The weather looks like it will continue to stay beautiful for at least the next week. A great start for Paula at her new home!
Have a wonky Wednesday!

Isn't Amazon the best?
I bet Bella is going to be a lot more careful around the pool area going forward. Justice has never had a problem avoiding all water of any type. Maybe because he was a Florida dog? It took a while to even get him to walk in shallow water at the beach on Cape Cod.
I love that your new community is so welcoming! Sounds like you will not only be busy but will have the opportunity to make a lot of new friends quickly.

An 80 point play sounds amazing. I would be lucky to get 5 LOL.
I did see the redwoods once - must have been around 1982 or 1983? They were wonderful. My BIL lived in Pleasanton and DH, SIL, and our 3 kids (the older set) stayed with them for 2 weeks one summer and did a lot of side-trips all over California.

Well at least the onion smell isn't fully a Kimble job though I guess you have a point that if you had a proper vent it wouldn't be everywhere. Diane's idea of simmering spices sounds like a good way to bani****

I love having an app on my phone to change the house temperature if I need to (or set a schedule so it get warmer automatically before I usually get up). We have a Sensi thermostat here. Super easy to install and use. At my Cape house I had a Google Nest one which also works well but I found it more difficult to program. Alas, no such thing at DH's Cape house because the furnace is 40+ years old and not wired the way they require.
Snow is always pretty but I don't miss it!

I'm missing my scale! I don't think I've done too much damage but one never really knows if not monitoring!
Our second day in our new house and all is well!
My Amazon card is blazing hot from all the ordering I've been doing. Tomorrow we will go grill and sofa sleeper shopping locally! I still need to get a desk for my office, a file cabinet and storage cabinets!
Bella dog took her first unintentional swim today. I had just gone outside to sit poolside and the pool cleaning person entered the pool area and Bella being the good guard dog that she is, went chasing after her and decided to take a short cut over the spa but of course fell in. Our dogs have never swam before. She was actually able to keep her head up out of the water and the pool lady quickly scooped her out if the spa. Thankfully it wasn't the big pool. I would have had to dive in fully clothed to get her. Note to self, order life jackets for dogs ASAP! I had planned to already but need to measure their chests for sizing and my measuring tape is in a POD somewhere between WI and FL.
Bug guys also stopped by. We are now signed up for pool service and pest control!
A few neighbors stopped by in the early evening to be the official street welcoming committee and they invited us to the street's annual Christmas party. We probably have 25 houses on our street and I guess a very generous and obviously wealthy neighbor rents the clubhouse for the party and has it catered for the party along with providing an open bar! Every household brings a gift valued around $40 to exchange! How fun is that? They also gave me November's calendar of events and there are so many fun things to do - Nine and Dine like at Liz's community, comedian with buffet dinner, karaoke night with dinner, Lanai Ladies which I guess ladies visit each other's lanai's and have snacks and wine, this Friday there is a Decades dance and buffet and they even have a Community Thanksgiving dinner catered! Every weekend they have brunch specials at the Clubhouse on both Saturday and Sunday. The bus wouldn't even have to go very far! I'm so excited about all the things there is for us to do!
Well I still like the gym treadmills because they are smoother and I just like going to that nice place. But the home one will work in a pinch. Thats what I started on,
The scrabble group has seriously good players who have played tournaments. Those have time limits with a timer similar to a chess clock. 25 minutes each side. We don't use them for our play because we all like to move things along. We allow use of dictionary since we all want to learn new words, Its fun.

Will you venture on your treadmill at home or do you prefer to go to the gym? My first choice is outside exercise but I do prefer home instead of the gym otherwise!
80 points for a scrabble word! Impressed. I just quickly lay down a word without much strategy. Do you guys impose a time limit to get a word on the table? I hate waiting for slow pokes!
You are right, I'm not missing the cold and snow at all! Several friends sent me pics of the snow we are "missing " today! Sunny and 80's today without humidity, picture perfect weather in my book!
Glad you got to sleep in, that is a treat indeed!
You really are having house woes! Boooooo!
I like pot roast but DH doesn't, so none for us!
