How fun to have pictures from each year. You're Benjamina Button, aging in reverse!

192.2 argh! "Regular" dinners are hard on me. And this morning is Sunday pancakes and bacon. I am going to have eggs and bacon instead, but still.

Adding on to picture day! The mirror hanger came yesterday (and lifted the 50 pound mirror like it was nothing). And amazingly, both of the hooks that it hung on in the middle of this bug wall were on studs! That never happens. It looks so great, I'm really pleased.

Heady with decorating success, I ordered a semi-antique runner rug for my hallway. That's apparently defined by age, over 50 years old, which makes me semi-antique as well! I found a website (based here in AZ) that has thousands of rugs and they have free shipping and free returns if it doesn't work. Add in fantastic prices and it was an easy decision to give it a try:

Not sure what the plans are today. But it will include a dog walk. Hope you all are doing well! HAPPY BIRTHDAY, DEVON!

120.2 - gaining Paula's weight again. I did eat a fair amount last night but not a huge quantity. I think I may be a bit backed up from travel and lack of sleep. Yes, a second night in a row of poor sleep. 3 hours total maybe?

Took a long time to drive to Captiva yesterday but it is really beautiful here. We had a cute little dog friendly cottage last night. This resort has several restaurants, a couple of pools and ocean beach access. We took a long walk on the beach with Justice when we got here yesterday afternoon. I was a bit sweaty afterwards but he was happy.

We went to the Bubble Room early so we wouldn't have to have a late night. We got there at 5:15, had a drink at the bar and were seated by 5:30. Dinner was fairly tasty but WAY too much food and though their desserts are famous there was no way. DH got one to go. Maybe I will have a bit tonight. The place is really unique. Pictures below.

Not sure when we will leave here today. Checkout is at 11 and it is 8 now. DH just said he wants to have breakfast, take a walk, then leave. We want to stop by the fancier resort he stayed at for 15+ years with his family to see if the buildings which were destroyed in Hurricane Ian have been restored, then we will drive the 3.5 hours across the state home. Either we get takeout or go out for dinner tonight as we have no refrigerator until tomorrow morning. Thank goodness for coolers (all our condiments are in the wine cooler at home).

Happy Birthday Peps!!! Have a sunny Sunday!

Funny the comments from CC and Paula about your voice. You definitely do have a melodic voice, but of course I have been lucky enough to hear it in person.

We watched some of the curling last night too. Still don't understand the scoring but interesting to know about the shoes. I love vegetarian black bean burgers, but sigh - no can do.
