Not much to report. After several easy months getting my Zepbound at Costco, it seems to be on backorder. And I have a busy start to the week with stuff each afternoon, so I'm not sure when I'll be able to pick it up. Grr.
Sad to see the Lions lose yesterday! I would just be happy if anyone other than the Chiefs win the Super Bowl. I think it's boring when the same team wins year after year. And I'm totally Taylor Swifted out.
We walked the dog today and came across two separate coyotes and a big squadron of javalinas. It's like Wild Kingdom out here!
That's all from sunny Sedona. Take care all!

Notre Dame I think. It's been a while since they've had a year like this!
Oh yeah - Paula, definitely Mamas Fish House!
Your friend's memorial sounds perfect and lovely. How cool that Mamma Mia was played. A wonderful tribute to her.

Greetings all
Sun is out and it's nippy but nice. Not much going on. Finally got a small amount of junk moved out of the bedroom and making plans for more. Meanwhile I went to the gym and walked. One additional nice thing about this gym is that the handicapped parking spots are often used by people using walkers or other assistance. Guess thats another reason for the big elevator. Anyway it's good that people with limitations feel good about using the place. There is a chair lift at the pool for people who can't walk at all. So far no one has offered it to me - yay.
So we are watching football in the snow. I think it's so funny that they go ahead and play and scrape off the yard lines.
The funeral yesterday was well done. Lots of people in this rather dreary old small town funeral home. How do they get it to smell like dust and Pledge at the same time? Its was a non religious memorial with lots of shared memories. The last item was playing the song "Mamma Mia" by Abba. Might sound odd but this lady loved that movie and saw it 26 times! It was kind of how she lived. Afterwards there was a lunch thing at the small town Portuguese hall. Lovely old place and good company. It all managed to be kind of uplifting and was totally in the spirit of this person.
More yum yums tonight. Chili tomorrow for the college championships. CC who is your Dad rooting for?
Ann drive safely. Hope you have one of those cold weather kits in your car. Candles, matches, flashlight and whatever. Pic of the chairs sometime
Yay DD a whole day without leaving the house. Tea and the Times. What a trip!
Yep Paula agreed you chose the right travel time. Whales galore!! See any babies? Mama's Fish House?
Liz sounds like a great party and trip. Hope that resort does better as it sounds like a great place.

Paula, you're rocking y'all's Maui vacay! Hope your dinner is as wonderful as I imagine it must be.
P.S. I'm home--back in Louisville!

Hi Liz, I just checked rates for that resort for spring break, and they would be doable. Unfortunately the airfare to Fort Meyers from here is insane. Spring break. Sigh.
It sounds like the boring drive was worth the reunion with so many longtime friends. I always find so much ease with people I've known a long time. There's a shorthand in their understanding of who you are now, because they know where you've been.
Hoping Anne's drive is uneventful. Whatever you decide about the sofa will no doubt be fabulous.
Paula you picked the perfect time to get the heck out of here. As I said, I'm not even planning on going out into the garage. Monday's wind chill is predicted to be -35. Ugh.
I'm about half way through the New York Times, and on my 3rd cup of tea. DH is watching football playoffs while I read.
We have some plans (besides work) that will require me to leave the house in the coming week. Tuesday dinner with friends, Saturday dinner with DHs siblings and spouses. It will hopefully be warmer by then.
I bet you will look beautiful in the dress

Spectacular day whale watching from our lanai this morning! They were super active with lots of tail slaps and breeches! Hoping I got some good photos even though they were a ways out! Hanging out by the pool right now soaking up some rays. My cabana boy (DH) just brought me an ice cream sandwich .Tonight we will go to a very popular (and expensive) restaurant that's very popular on the island. I bought yet another Tommy Bahama dress and will wear that tonight.
Glad your party was fun Liz and that you got to visit with your close friends. Safe travels home!
Safe travels for you too Ann! You have been putting on the miles! Glad you had a great visit too.

Drive carefully! You have a much longer drive than I do today.
