Your Dad is at the point where you have to start to see some humor in the interchanges because if you don't it is all so sad. Reminds me of the "chocolate wars", when deceased DH accused his sister and me of stealing his fudge and he ate a whole box of it at one time to keep us from getting at it.
Peps, I am going to walk my daughter down the aisle (DS is performing the ceremony)! Very, very happy about doing that. I believe both DS and I are doing the Father/daughter dance with her.

In my previous moves, I would be ditching stuff as I unpacked because I didn't have time to sort when I packed. I'm hoping to mostly avoid that this time by pre-sorting in every closet and cabinet. We shall see how successful I am...

Sounds like your weather changes quickly in the fall just as it does in the Northeast.

Fantastic! Welcome home to you and Kirby. I am sure he will be thrilled to have the change in scenery but he will probably miss your stepmother until they come there I bet.

Peps, thanks for sharing your dad's evolving description of the broadcaster and his response to it. IMO, your response, which helped him, was so good.

Thanks. I figured you were close to that height. Your up-north summer sounds like a big win.

And you looked good at that weight!!!! I imagine you are almost back to your old "hiking" weight.

For fun, I looked up on my calendar when we had lunch and cross referenced with my weight app. I am 21.6 pounds lighter than the day we met 
And in evidence of my total preoccupation with weight at every moment of my life, I thought about it and guessed I probably weighed around 206 that day. When I looked, I was 207.4. What a weird superpower...
Liz, sounds like the hustle and bustle of the wedding is already starting! Such exhausting fun! I'm sure you are delighted. It is sad that your DD won't have Paul there. Will she walk down the aisle alone, or is there another significant male in her life who will walk her down the aisle? Her brother? Also, nothing better IMO than a bride who feels beautiful in her wedding dress. So glad your DD is happy with the alterations!
All of you seem productively busy. I'm busy, but not sure how productive.
I realized today while visiting my dad, he has turned a page in his dementia journey. He uses words that make sense, but don't really convey what he intends. Today he was telling me the audio on his TV was lacking. When I prodded him for more detail, I realized I had no idea what he was trying to tell me other than he didn't like what he was hearing. He kept using the words amplify and amplifying. Then he started mentioning the notes the broadcaster was speaking were wrong. I finally understood he didn't like the broadcaster's voice! It had nothing to do with her volume level. However, he was convinced that there was a setting on the TV that would allow him to change her voice into a more HUMAN (his word) and appropriate voice for a broadcaster. Sigh... I fussed with the remote to make him think I was doing something about her voice and he was content that I had made the problem better. He also mentioned writing the network to have her taken off the air because naturally they would be losing viewers because of her tonal quality.
Weight is good. Still in my minus 50 pound range.
CC, you are at MY Goal weight! Congratulations. I am now 25 pounds under my DL weight. Whoop Whoop!
Shot day!
Not much else.... CHOW!
