Just talked to my DD and we rescheduled her flight to tomorrow. There was only 1 seat left on that flight. I was going to reimburse her for the cost difference but she contacted them and they are crediting her for the extra amount. That flight is the ONLY Westchester flight other than a Delta flight which hasn't yet been cancelled for today.

Happy Surgiversary! My 10 year is at the end of next month.
I was thinking it was usually in the 70s this time of year where you are but just realized that I was thinking of Scottsdale where we spent the month of February in 2022. I forgot it was quite a bit cooler in Sedona when we visited there that month.
Yes, that hockey game was amazing!

What a trip you have had! Safe travels! I bet you will be exhausted for a while after your return but so worth it.

Busy puttering yesterday and I never got around to posting. It was my nine year "surgiversary" yesterday. Time flies.... I was about 8 pounds less last year having been on tirzepatide for a while. I then gained to 20+ pounds and am now here. I marvel at you all with your 2 pound "swings". My swings are like a carnival ride.
It was so gorgeous yesterday, we spent a lot of it outside. But first it was pancake and bacon day. I had eggs instead of pancakes, but kept the bacon of course. Then Claudia and I did ladder chores first (I hate being on ladders with a fear of heights so it's nice to have someone to hold the ladder). We changed out my weather station that had died and then put some speaker covers back in the ceiling after they'd shaken out from the roof deck repair pounding. Then she blew the dust out of the cat patio (still needs a lot of cleaning) and I took the couch weather cover off and hosed off all the red dust. We capped the day walking Kirby, having green enchiladas, and watching two episodes of the Night Agent.
Today is the start of being in the 70s. Crazy! There's even a 77 in the 10 day forecast. I'm getting my hair done, but that's it.
Loved watching the hockey team win! Imagine having your teeth knocked out and going on to make the winning goal. Heartier souls than me! I'd be sobbing and making an emergency call to the dentist.
That's it from here... take care! Safe travels, DD!
Good morning! What weird weather this winter! Usually it's reliably warm in Florida by the end of February. The weather here has been cooler than normal some days roo, which has been welcome, because normally February would have some humid days close to, or over 100 degrees. Instead it's been in the 80s mostly.
We leave our Airbnb today at 11 am, and then hanging out with my "sister in law" until she delivers us to the airport around 5. We fly to Sao Paulo, leave there at 11pm, and arrive in Atlanta in the morning. Atlanta to Minneapolis has us arriving around noon.
We're sad to be leaving, but hugely grateful for the wonderful time here. There's a quote I love about how the ache you feel is the price you pay for the richness of loving another place and the people who live there.
I'll finish up the last bit of my packing now. See you all in the Northern Hemisphere tomorrow!

Quiet day yesterday with only 3 of us checking in. Is today the day DD travels back home?
We had golf yesterday though it was delayed by rain and was a bit soggy and cold to start. Had to buy a new quarter zip top from the Pro Shop to keep warm. We had fun with the couple we partnered with though. Our golf courses are filled with all kinds of birds who pay no attention to the golfers. One of them got hit by the other woman's golf shot and didn't even move until we went over to check to make sure it was okay at which point it gracefully flew off.
It is 44 this morning with a high expected in the 50's today. No water aerobics today. Essentially all our kids and other family members are suffering a Nor'easter today. Oldest DD is supposed to fly here from Westchester NY tonight at 7 pm to stay until Friday. She may or may not make it.
Meanwhile I have my new space heater plugged in and warming up the lanai while we sit here. Have a momentous Monday!

Good luck getting the vendor booth ready. And getting the golf cart back in good shape hopefully.
Good that you already know enough people to start your own Bible Study group. I am assuming they work somewhat like a book club meeting? Time discussing the Bible and some social time?

Having a lazy day once in a while is a good thing! Yes, best to have a list for the grocery store but sometimes other stuff gets purchased anyway. I keep a running list on my phone so always have one.

Yes, most Bible studies work like book clubs. Sometimes there is a teaching time with the leader or the group watches a video but most of the time the group is assigned a reading and then it is discussed the following week. Time for socializing and prayer is usually included.
