Greetings all
The wind is howling today but not much rain. I want out and got dog food and then went to the gym to walk. There was a grunter but I obscured it with David Bowie. Fun to listen to old music I had sort of forgotten. But I really need to make myself sample current stuff. I have no clue.
So I decided to play grown up and work on taxes. Mainly to figure out what is missing. Looks like one investment statement plus retirement plan distribution statement. Web site says I don't get one which is BS because I took a big chunk out. So tomorrow I will try to call or chat with some robot or something. I thought maybe they had emailed it but nothing appears.
So DD Memphis looks fun. Glad the BB King place was good and not crapped up. He came to my college campus in 1970 I think. And Lucile.
Yo Peps freezer clean out! Who knows what mysteries you will find. Agreed an upright is the thing to have. I have never had a freezer other than the one with fridge. I fear it would get filled with unknown stuff like every other nook and cranny in our house.
So I am making a pot roast today. Just starting to smell yummy. We shall see how it turns out. Selecting a proper chuck roast is necessary.
Paula the shower picture is adorable. Bet you are looking forward to wedding.
Liz now I want noodles! What a great sounding dish.
Little Vivian is doing well at home. She will be much fussed over. And she has two teenage cousins who are eager to baby sit.
Yeah we should all think about what to do if something happens to partner. I have DH as POD on accounts and he will be able to get into my computer - he already can- though I don't know his. Plus my brother and I were talking about having plans for if we become drooling incompetent. We have no plans. Guess I should think of a POA. Maybe tomorrow. I have the second dental deep cleaning tomorrow so will think about that as I drool.

Sounds like a cool concert!

127.7. Needing bathroom time again!
Shower went well and I did muster up energy for the concert last night but needed a nap after church today!
The candle lit concert last night was very good. A string quartet played a little over an hour of Queen music! I love Queen and found myself toe tapping and singing the songs in my head the whole time! They of course had audience participation for We Will Rock You - stomp, stomp, clap! Would recommend!
Tonight we will order in pizza for the crew. DSD, fiancé and DC1 are all here!

I always like having a side-by-side refrigerator and just using that freezer. Even with that we would have too much stuff in it and have to sift through periodically. I just feel like I would lose track of what was in a bigger freezer and end up wasting a lot by letting it stay in there too long and having to throw it away.

Holston House was really nice, wasn't it? I have never stayed at an Indigo.
The financial meeting was between Mike and I. Since we don't co-mingle funds, we split most expenses but usually one or the other of us makes the payment on each. So we reconcile at the end of the month. Speaking of knowing what to do if the bill-payer is incapacitated, I realized that neither of us has a backup person to do that. We should figure that out.
Enjoy Memphis!

CC is doing fine. She's been busy with friends and Kirby. I checked in with her today! I'm sure she'll check in soon!
EXACTLY! Now I am finding things that "fell" to the bottom and they are so old they are not worth thawing and cooking. I found some meat from 2015!
An upright freezer seems better than a chest freezer for ease of finding things. As a kid I remember having to hang over the chest freezer, playing Tetris with all the frozen things while trying to find the pound of hamburger my mother asked me to get.
Liz, is your monthly financial meeting between you and Mike, or are you meeting with a financial planner? I like that idea! After 38 years together, our money is completely blended. The finances are auto pilot for me, as DH does all the bills. If I'm going to spend a bigger chunk of money, I check with him, not for permission, but to let him know. But with finances changing to retirement, we'll need to make decisions we don't have to now, such as how to handle the money in IRAs and 401Ks. And I really should know more about his bill paying system. What if something, God forbid, happens to him and he's incapacitated.
We had a very nice travel day, everything went smoothly. We were here by noon, dropped off our bags at the hotel and walked to Beale Street for lunch. We thought go big or go home, and started with the must see BB King's Club. I was pleasantly surprised. I thought it might be real corporate and touristy, but it wasn't. Awesome blues trio, good food, good drinks, reasonable prices.
We walked back to our hotel, a real treat to enjoy walk outside weather. We're staying at the Indigo Hotel, an IHG chain. It was a good price, and close to the action, and we get Priority Club Points, but it's not really my style. I think it's geared more towards younger people. It's also, in my opinion, one or two blocks too far from Beale Street. There are 2 huge empty buildings, one next door and one across the street. Feels a little sketchy. I am fine during the day, but I'm not sure about later at night. We might be doing a short Uber ride. It will be fine, but it's not Holston House in Nashville, which I loved.
Thunderstorms tonight, so we'll probably stay in. Tomorrow and Tuesday are supposed to be warm and sunny, but rain is predicted the rest of the week. We're planning on museums the rainy days.
Paula, I'm looking forward to hearing what you thought about the candle lit concert.
Sure hope CC is okay. I see Ann, and Miss 150 and Ocean Diane have posted in the last few days, but I haven't seen anything from CC...
