Nice day and feeling very quiet here in the house. DH and DS#1 on road trip to Wichita to visit with DH's older brother who took a nasty fall and was in hospital-now moved to rehab. All fine and progressing well. He is by himself out there - When it gets close to time to go home, I'll go out and clean clean his very nice, but very messy house, stock up, and tend to him for a bit. He used to be a dog person ( Labradors- each and every one of them named Snowball #s 1,2,3...as they came along). I might take Swann out with me as a "therapy dog".

Funny being alone with my time...plenty of projects to do, and probably won't get many of them done. Funny how that works...

Am glad DD's being proactive health wise...I am sure she will weigh in accounting for drs professional advice, balance that with the knowing she has of her situation and then, trusting her innermost promptings, make the right decision.

119.2 for the 3rd day in a row

Yesterday was a beautiful beach day and we also had a great dinner at the Beach Club last night. We are in a stretch of good weather as is usually the case once we get into March. To answer DD's question from yesterday, for some reason being at the beach is the only time DH can sit still for an extended period of time. He gets nudgy if we are at home with nothing planned but can spend 6 hours at the beach. I guess in his mind he is doing "something". He reads, listens to music, and usually naps at some point.

DD called her aunt (my very close SIL) to talk to her about what is going on with her health. SIL had endometrial cancer about 25 years ago so went through some similar testing.

Today is the 20th anniversary of the last time DD went on a visit. Her best friend had just had a baby a couple of weeks prior and DD's first priority after leaving the hospital was to go see her. It was the only time she ever held little Molly though she became her godmother posthumously.

Today the bus is leaving for breakfast in 10 minutes. DH and I are playing golf at 4. Not sure of the plan in between. Have a safe and super Sunday!

So sorry to hear about Blue but it is good that she went quickly. Always difficult to lose a family member.

Greetings all

A mixed day here. Sun then fog. So it goes. I got some laundry done before going out and about. Walked at the gym. Somehow my iPhone music fixed itself. No clue how. There was an old guy on the next treadmill singing out loud to his air pod music. Pretty funny but better than grunting. Amazing how we are these little matrix units these days. After that it was studio time and I did a lot of glazing. Place was packed when I arrived but parking lot empty by the time I left. Talked to one of our board members who says some other board members want to explore getting a new studio building built. We shall see. I don't think the numbers will work. Not holding breath.

Peps sorry dear Blue is gone. They do not last long enough.

Yay Paula on your goal! You rocked it. Enjoy.

Yep DD when you retire you will not enjoy buying clothes so much. I sure don't. But then again I never did. Shopping was always a miserable mission to find something business appropriate in my size that was not all polyester. I say indulge in what clothes you like. Nice to have a trade clothes person. Also nice your DD will wear your stuff. Hope the family event goes well.

Liz you are Justice are super walkers. Good on you. I swear steps are the secret to well being. I don't do enough. Hoping your DD gets an appointment soon.

DH hates the rotisserie chicken. So I will hide it in some kind of pasta. He will eat that.

Gallery duty tomorrow which means a dull day for me. Hope for good weather as more customers come in when it's nice.

Three little eaglets at Duke farms. I am so attached..

CONGRATULATIONS Paula on reaching goal! So, so happy for you.

It is a lovely Saturday here. It's not warm, but it's nice enough to have a few windows open for some fresh air blow through the house. It's about 63 outside with a cool breeze. In the sun, it's pretty nice.

Today is my L litter's 5th birthday, but sadly, today is also the day my girl Blue decided say goodbye. She has been living her best life with her mom Lynn for the past 7+ years, but it still hits hard. I'm glad she went quickly. She went into Afib yesterday. She got meds to lower her heart rate, but she went into failure overnight and was having trouble breathing this morning. Definitely her time. Of course, I immediately go into "repair" mode and start thinking whether or not I should place Molly with Lynn and her husband Michael.

Liz, I hope you are able to be with Tierney for the procedure. I have a feeling your presence would lend a great deal of support and calmness to the situation.

DD, interesting subject about clothes. I often find myself perusing clothing on line, but have become pretty good at limiting purchases. I over spent after reaching goal post VSG that and had some hefty credit card debt to manage. I keep reminding myself of that! LOL! I also remind myself that with retirement there is no longer any need for "work clothes". Of course, Dog show clothes is always a lovely excuse. LOL!

l may go to the gym while Ron is at church today. We'll see. It would be an extra day, so I could have fun and focus on whatever floats my boat. I could also do some cleaning and organizing. That might win out!
