If I were to guess she is like your BFF. Really lovely woman in all ways - she doesn't deserve it, but we all make choices for our own internal reasons.

I love beef stroganoff. Good comfort food.

If you like salmon normally and want a few recipes, let me know! I make salmon quite a bit!

Liz, it's possible the wife doesn't want to know. My BFFs husband was a cheat, and it was obvious he was cheating, but she was in denial. She found a picture of what turned out to be a mistress, unpacking a suitcase in a hotel room. Her husband told her he had loaned his camera to her. And she decided to believe him. Coincidentally, he had been away, alone, on a self care weekend. Hmmm. But I don't think that's uncommon. If you're not ready to leave or be done with it, its self protective. Or maybe she does know, and lives with it. It's a hard deal to make with yourself, but some people do it. Again, so thankful for my DH.
Beef Stroganoff! OMG, that sounds so good. I haven't made that in such a long time.
It's so dark here! Cloud cover, rain, and the sun is already so low in the horizon, not much natural light today. My working from home day is going great! I'm a report producing machine. And also doing laundry. I washed all the blankets, sheets and duvet cover for our bed. I'll get to the two guest beds before Thanksgiving.
The salmon left a lot to be desired last night, but I ate as much as I could. Not sure what's heading my way tonight. I know its not beef stroganoff!
149.5, same.
Nothing really to report today. Grey weather day again, might get snow by Thursday. DSD is getting it ND today, so I expect DD will be getting some as well.
We were supposed to have a lunch date but the rainy weather kept us inside. Having a Fairlife for lunch!
Still slowly selling scrapbook stuff. Basement also slowly getting organized.
Tonight I'm making beef stroganoff for dinner. One of my favorites as a kid! It is kinda putzy to make but tastes good. I'll freeze a good bit of it for a future meal!

Oh, DD ... you are SOOOO going to love retirement. Just think of everything new you can learn and everything old you can now understand more fully. We are so fortunate to have these later years to enjoy our changing perspectives and what they offer us.

Thank you, Paula and your DH. I really did inherit some great genes, although the ones that matter most aren't the "looks younger" ones, but the ones that allow me at this advanced age to still be mobile, emotionally resilient, energetic, and curious. I thank my mother every day--and I do mean EVERY day!--for growing my body and everything in it.
Although I'm not a mother, I don't think mothers ever get enough credit. And of course my dad deserves some credit. ;-)

Peps, you get all the gold stars for what you accomplished. Those cabinet cleaning details are world-class.

Last day before 10 days of company. Looking forward to it and not looking forward to it at the same time.
Today we have the electrician coming to cut up the ceiling to move the chandelier. Hopefully our fix-it guy can come right away to make the ceiling look normal again. When we had to replace all the plumbing in the house that DH sold he did the same to cover the holes in the wall and we couldn't tell where they were.
More gossip around the alcoholic member with the long-suffering wife. Someone said he has been known to sleep around especially on golf trips with the guys where he will pick someone up. In some ways I hope his wife doesn't know but maybe she should? Just an incredibly messy situation which I gather has been in place for many years.
Tonight we have a country western themed dance. I got cowboy boots and a hat from Amazon to wear. Not sure if I will wear jeans or a dress. DH is planning on jeans.
We need to get out on our long Justice walk early. Have a tightrope Tuesday!

I had to look up Atmospheric River - thanks to Google's AI, I now know that is how the west coast gets most of its rain (and also about the Pineapple Express LOL). When I used to travel to Seattle on business I always was intrigued at how the weather forecast in the winter was different by altitude. No such forecasts on the east coast.
I will have to look up Brokenwood Mysteries next.
