Congrats on dropping into a new decade. The work at the house is progressing! You must be excited about how the gate will look. Your Dad and Claudia leave already? Seems like a quick visit but so good for them that they had warm weather.

Hope DD has a good trip home and you got to enjoy the beach. We did errands early but then had pool time!

118.4, staying pretty darn consistent!

Went to Home Depot for weed killer and herbs for my planters. My Basil died on me during the cold snap and I want cilantro. They had no cilantro plants so I will need to start from seed. A project for another day. We also went to Goodwill and I picked up 10 frames for 22 bucks! I think all but one will work well for my art! One was metal. It had a wood look but after getting it home I realized it was metal. We ended our errands at a really yummy Mexican place in ***** Gorda and of course there were enough leftovers for dinner!

I did go to water aerobics today and plan to go tomorrow too! Not sure what else will be on the agenda for tomorrow. Maybe planting herbs!

Nice weather all around (except for maybe DD).

Glad the ankle brace is helping some. Yes, you certainly don't want a fall!

Enjoy the veggie pizza!

Nice job easing into the 180's! What is your goal again? You must be close!

Your home improvement list is dwindling down. Must feel good!

Enjoy the time you have with your Dad and Claudia before they head home. Enjoy the warm weather too, even if it seems too soon. I'm glad it was extra nice for your guests!

Greetings all

It is sunny and almost warm here. I don't think it will last but our local tv weather man is so weird that who knows. This is the tv station that is so low budget that when it is raining you can hear the rain on the roof of the tv studio on the broadcast.

So I got a little ankle brace thing that is just a stretchy support. Helps some. Most of the time I move around fine but fear the sharp twinge that could make me fall. Yeah if this continues I will at least go to the podiatrist. Not being able to move around safely is a big deal. I considered the gym today but went to the studio instead. Plenty of activity there and painting is going on. Also fire day with three big gas kilns going.

So Liz that is a short visit from your DD! Looks like you had lots of fun and the Wicked event was a big success no thanks to the busy body but instead due to your organizational skills. Fun stuff. You and DD look so cute together in witch gear.

Pizza tonight. I was able to convince DH that there are other forms of pizza besides 1. pepperoni and 2. plain cheese. I got him to bring home the gourmet veggie from his Romeo lunch. Yay another dinner solved.

CC glad that your folks are enjoying a warm Arizona even though it is unusual. Good day for a dog walk. And while I am enjoying the sun here too I also worry about lack of rain and the impact for the summer. I guess all the snow is at Lake Taho.

Good news - a new airline is coming here with direct flights to Las Vegas. Maybe we can go see something at the sphere. My brother is going to the Wizard of Oz soon which I would love to see.

Cute cupcakes!

189.2 Nice to see an 8 in there! As is always the case with me being tall, the losses are hard to notice.

It's hot here. 80 yesterday and 79 today. The folks are loving it. And while I can objectively see it's beautiful, it's too soon to be this beautiful!

The flagstone cap went in easily yesterday! As easily as a 750 pound piece of rock can. So that can be ticked off the list. The gate install starts Monday. The folks go home Wednesday so we're in the final stretch.

Today is my crazy neighbor's birthday, so I will go get her an orchid or something along those lines. She always gets me something.

Otherwise, we need to figure out dinners for the next few days and go to the grocery store and walk the dog.

That's all from here!

119.8

Last day of DD's visit. She leaves at 4 this afternoon. We had a good golf tournament yesterday. Lots of complements from everyone on the event and the luncheon. It really did go off well even though our golf foursome came in DFL (last). But we had fun playing! I played a lot better on Sunday. For some reason I reverted back to my prior play.

Dinner last night at the Beach Club was enjoyable and delicious. DH had 2 glasses of wine which he usually doesn't drink (he is a light beer guy), so I had to drive home. He definitely was a bit sloshed.

Today is probably beach prior to DD's departure since it is going to be a beautiful day and she has to go home to lots of snow. Dinner will likely be leftovers.

Power came on finally yesterday afternoon at my SILs home and DH's home on Cape Cod. Hopefully there are no broken pipes. I did some research and it seems likely that there wouldn't be any given the amount of time the power was out and the fact that the house was unopened. The temperature probably dropped to somwhere in the high 30s to low 40s.

Justice heartworm pill coming up (in cheese, his favorite), then walk time. Have a fabulous Friday!

DD and me in the golf cart:

Congratulations on the sales! Hopefully you will have a steady stream of them. Do you have a Habitat Restore or similar near you? Could be a great resource for used frames.

Definitely have that ankle checked out. I have a lot of arthritis but it doesn't usually give sudden pain (more of a constant ache). The times I have had sudden pain in my joints are when a bone spur or similar causes damage to something else like a ligament.

I agree with Paula - studio buddy must stretch out the time at your home due to loneliness.
