Very busy days Liz! Good thoughts for your daughter's surgery and the quality of life improvements it will bring her.

A spring get together would seem to work best. Since our niece lives in Phoenix, DH and I would probably travel to Arizona together and make it a vacation. We've never been to Arizona, or the southwest for that matter. Or, if people are just flying in for a day or two, I could do that too, and DH and I could do Arizona together on a different trip.

Yesterday Aussie sister returned to our house for the day, and DH took her to the airport at 4am this morning. She should be back to Salt Lake City soon, after doing a connecting flight in Chicago.

One of my last ground travel details, I got an email back confirming a driver to take us across the Isle of Mull from one ferry port to another. They only accept cash, 140 pounds. I need to call my bank to order some pounds. I know I can get some in Glasgow, but I'll feel better if I have that amount on me in case there are any ATM snafus. Other than that, some laundry, filling a packing cube with summer clothes for DH to bring me, and some odds and ends.

While yesterday was cool and sunny, today is cool and overcast. A preview of Scottish weather?

Lol, as I was talking to my DH, he said he would rather stay home too! I've already subjected him to a few class reunions where he didn't know anyone!

118.2 - 5 days in a row at the same weight. If I do one more day it will be a record since I stabilized more or less a year ago LOL.

Didn't do much yesterday other than walk Justice a couple of times and finish a book. It was drizzly until mid-day. DH can't sit and read all day, so he worked in the yard and started making a bocce court in the backyard. DH's 13 year old granddaughter asked about putting a trampoline back there. Might be fun for her the 2-3 times a year she visits for a few years, then it will be this hunk of stuff moldering in the yard which no one will take responsibility to remove... He is hoping she drops the idea or that bringing her to a fun place a couple of towns away that has them (along with other fun kid stuff) will suffice.

Today we may go to the beach for a little while. It will be busy the next few days as tomorrow we take the ferry to Martha's Vineyard to spend the day with my eldest DD. Thursday I travel to central Massachusetts to see other DD and stay overnight to be there for her hysterectomy Friday morning. If all goes well I will head back to Cape Cod late Friday. DH's 2 daughters, their families and maybe some friends are coming for the weekend. Busy times!

Interestingly, because DD is on Mounjaro, they have her fast for 24 hours prior to surgery. They used to have people stop the medication a week or 2 prior but now they just have them do one day of fasting.

I just remembered I might want to do a little bit of picking up around here (very little as I am not cluttery). DH's DD and DSIL may be arriving tonight to stay through Labor Day (will arrive tomorrow if not tonight).

Have a terrific Tuesday!

Fall comes fast doesn't it?

My DH would probably prefer not to come, but either way I would be fine at a B&B or wherever. We are staying at the same one we have been to twice before when we come up after the wedding this October (Sunset Chalet).

Whatever you decide CC would be fine with me! You are very gracious to open up your house and even more gracious to consider having people stay overnight!

I would vote for a Spring date. Would prefer spouses (would probably stay longer - in an hotel or Air Bnb -and make a little vacay out of it) but I know DH would be fine with me going solo and staying home and watching the dogs. Oh yeah, we won?t have a kid around to watch the dogs! Maybe DH should stay home! Lol!
