Never heard of Kevin's - will have to look them up.

I did see tha****er aerobics was cancelled at our Florida place. Not sorry to be missing yet another cold front!

Enjoy your golf cart. I loved mine but alas they are not allowed where we live (but we also only have a 1 car garage so it would be difficult to have one).

You will be excited once you are there and start your new life for the next few weeks. Nice tradition to be met at the airport and love the description of your neighborhood. Can't wait to hear further descriptions and see pictures!

So sorry you are sick again! Must be your immune system leaving you too exposed. You are sure it isn't a sinus infection?

Very inspiring food choices though I would agree that one needs to concentrate on the important stuff first and not the Diet Coke.

When I don't plan well and snack around for meals, my diet gets really bad really fast! When I cook, I end up with leftovers for days, which I don't always love.

Yes we have had a sun surplus. But rain is the norm.

Studio buddy lives in a shack in the woods which is so full of junk you can hardly walk through it. She is building a nice house on the property but this has been going on for years. It really just needs the interior finishes and plumbing but who knows when it will be done. Outside work must be done in the summer but seems like the finishing could be going on right now. who knows. DS

You have been having a lot of big sun! So important in keeping the winter doldrums away (at least for me).

Have not seen any falling iguanas but there are supposed to be flakes in the northern panhandle. Glad they won't be here! By Wednesday it is supposed to be back to warm, beautiful FL weather!

Does your friend ever host at her house? You are a good friend for inviting her over to your house on the regular!

Ben liked constant noise in the house too. Me not so much. I don't think I turned on a tv or radio the first month he was gone. The silence was wonderful!

Greetings all

We have sun here today though it is chilly. Ok by me. DH has gone to the grocery store so I get to control the tv and am watching the Patriots. DH likes the house quiet but I like some kind of sound whether the tv or NPR. Not much planned today other than the gym and a few errands. I looked up farro soup recipes but think I will do a pot roast tomorrow since there is football game and hungry studio buddy who is not an adventurous eater.

DD your trip is almost here! I looked up Porto Alegre and it looks like a great place. Loved the look of the markets. Pretty far south and many time zones ahead. How cool that your friends want to come meet you at the airport! Kind and comforting. Are you going to be able to get on to OH or maybe FB or at least text one of us to share. Hope the flights are uneventful and on time.

And Liz hope the weather has cleared. Good lamb chops are a thing of beauty. No naps are quite like a deck chair nap. I think they make a non drowsy version of Dramamine but probably just has some caffeine in it.

Curses CC more illness. Your immune system is indeed challenged. I do think the zinc stuff works not to mention the healthy things you have purchased. Fresh veggies are always good to eat when prepared properly but it is the prep effort plus the timing that leads to the fridge compost drawer. One has to prepare them in a day or two or they lose all appeal. Anyway sorry you have more need for kleenex. Rest up and by all means consume much diet coke. Fluids are good in all forms.

Paula crap that it is cold there. I saw on the evening news that there were falling iguanas again. No doubt Florida houses don't have much in the way of heating. When we moved to CA I laughed at the dinky furnaces out here compared to the behemoth one we had in Omaha. Hoping for a weather change soon.

Well time to get busy. I completed 6 of the 7 items on my list yesterday and the last has to wait until the bank is open.

We started watching The Mayor of Kingstown last night. A drama about crime and the prison system. Good but very dark. No exploding aliens.

Sorry you have rain today Liz. Hopefully it did clear up for you!

Happy the sea sickness has subsided too! That is definitely no fun!

Go Patriots!
