120.8, all good!

Checked out another church today. Not sure we have found our church home yet. Will continue the search!

Yesterday put together our last piece of purchased furniture (a hallway coat hanger and shoe storage thing). My coffee bar in the kitchen is coming along. That's where the countertop ice maker is being kept along with my Keurig machine and frother. I have alternating white and black mugs hanging on the wall above the bar and have a custom sign that reads Weber's coffee and Tea Bar coming! I think it is super cute!

Today we are going to some of DH's late wife's family's place in Cape Coral. A grill out and pool party. Technically the wife is DH's niece in law but they are at most only 5 years younger than us. His wife was the youngest and her Dad was the oldest of a pretty big family!

Glad you have a few days by yourselves Liz, albeit you will be busy readying the place for the next bunch!

Congrats on the new low weight (I think) Peps! So nice of you to make the nice dinner for Ron. Perhaps you can do the tree together!

Diane, I posted in yesterday's thread about the stovetop. What you want is an induction stovetop. They are wonderful!

I bet Ron was happy! Also, 201.9! Getting there.

201.9 for me this morning.

Liz, it must be nice to have your house back to yourself, even if it is just for a day or two before the sisters come. It just struck me how fortunate you were to find DH who already synced with your snowbird lifestyle. Ron also is a Sunday brunch guy. He grew up going out to breakfast after church and still really likes to do that.

My plans changed yesterday. I hibernated. I stayed in my joggers and played games, read, puttered and watched a documentary about the BTK Killer. However, I did make Ron a delicious dinner while he was at church. So maybe the tree didn't get up, but I still surprised him with a delicious home cooked meal. He was delighted.

Grooming this morning and will most likely do puppy tails this afternoon or evening.

I would kill for some sunshine! Or wind (or even rain... ) I'm just not a big fan of cold, gray gloom. Thank goodness I have things to do today or else it could be another lounging day! LOL!

December tomorrow! YIKES!

119.4 - still

Last day of November! I can't believe that December will be here tomorrow.

All the company got home safely. Those departing from Orlando were about 1.5 hours late but that's not unusual out of that airport and those flying from our local airport were early. We were guestless by about 5:30.

All the laundry is done! Today beds need to be made and towels put away. Also, we need to go through the remaining snacks and drinks to determine what to retain and where to store them. The refrigerator needs some stuff to be tossed and I will make and freeze a turkey pie with the remnants from dinner either today or tomorrow.

This afternoon we are playing 9 holes of golf with friends then having dinner with them at the clubhouse. They have a new Sunday menu with pasta dishes made completely from scratch available as full or half portions. I love half portions!

One more day without guests tomorrow, then DH's 2 sisters arrive Tuesday for 9 days. However I just looked at the weather in Massachusetts and I wouldn't be surprised if they delay their arrival by a day due to the likelihood of snow on Tuesday. Luckily they are fairly self-sufficient so we don't have to entertain them all the time.

The bus leaves at 7:30 as usual on Sundays. I wouldn't mind skipping but it is a tradition for DH. After that we will have our usual Justice walk before we begin work on the house. Have a silent Sunday!

I am still in range - it's just that long held fear whenever my weight goes up that it will continue to do so.

Putting the tree up does sound like a nice surprise- I hope Ron was pleased!

And compression shirts for men are definitely a thing.
