I am going to be brave and type this directly in OH since it seems to be behaving lately. Usually I type it in notes, then copy/paste here.

We made it to Saratoga Springs to meet with DH's family members last night after an extra long drive due to traffic. Accidents on highways sure clog everything up. We had drinks at a bar next to the horse track, then ate at a popular restaurant in town. Very fun, but I realize how poor my hearing is in noisy crowds at places like that. I can hear fine when speaking with people without loud background noise and I can hear the TV without turning it up, but crowd noise has me smiling and nodding a lot. Reminds me of my grandmother and mother who had hearing loss in their later years. At some point I will need to have it tested but I don't think it is necessary yet especially since even the modern devices don't help a lot with background noise.

We need to leave in about 45 minutes to drive to DD's wedding dress fitting. It is on our way home, so this trip worked out conveniently for both. We will spend the early afternoon with DD and her fiancé, then go back to Cape Cod. Hopefully we will be able to miss the bridge backup. It was 3 miles when we were leaving the Cape yesterday just after noon time.

Have a scintillating Saturday!

Congratulations on a great offer and quick sale! I'm sure it is hard to leave the house, but now that the work is done it is wonderful that it went quickly.

Your description of the outdoor shower experience makes me yearn to have the same!

Greetings all

Today started cold and foggy but now it's sunny. I have not done much. We had lunch at a Mexican restaurant with friends including the one that was so sick and in the hospital 7 weeks. It's great to see her up and about and totally sharp. She says she has been gardening which puts her ahead of me.

Speaking of gardening, my sweet peas seem to be on the verge of blooming but not quite yet. I want them to hurry up. The wild sweet peas are blooming all over.

Yeah Liz, stay in your home for as long as you feel like it. good plan. Ditto fuzzy blankets. My favorite sofa throw feels like a kitty.

Yay Bonnie house sold! Those letters written buy prospective buyers must be a big thing these days. We got them for our mom's house. Get it done. Move on. Get into the new place before winter!!

DD what lovely events you describe. Concert venue sounds super. Ditto shower. Have a great evening.

Leftover Mexican food tonight. DH hardly eats anything at the restaurant. Yet he eats eggs and toast an hour before we go to the restaurant. Go figure.

I got a call from the gallery that we were low on small bills so I did a bank run. Had a teller who was obviously new. She had trouble counting out $150. I had to help her...

Peps is on the road. Hoping for show pictures. The Arch Monument in Nebraska is really cool but not dog friendly.

Well time to go do my walk and balancing act. Picture me on a tightrope with a long pole...

The Great Lakes have salmon but for the most part, WI is not a big producer! I get mine from Costco!
