CC, I think you've said before, but I can't remember ... how tall are you?

Welcome home! Too bad about the gate business, which sounds like a big inconvenience in addition to being pricey to fix.

Ditto Miss150's praise re ditching the scenic views photos. Good principle.

What better milestone! How often do we actually weigh less than the stated weight. I think I'm now shorter than it says on my driver's license, so I've had weight loss and height loss!
You describe my favorite kind of morning, watching the birds cavort, savoring the morning breeze before the heat comes, DH close by.

Just noticed, I'm 4.2 pounds less than my driver's license! And I was lying when I gave that one!
Bonnie, my painting isn't hung yet. My decorator asked me to collect paintings with black frames for a collage wall in the family room. I'm up to 4, need more...

Congrats on finishing the photo sorting! I realized long ago I'm great at starting projects, but not at finishing them. So go you!
185.8 this morning. I haven't seen that number in a long time.
The flight was wonderful and uneventful. Such a luxury. Home safe and sound. Before I could do anything else, I vacuumed the whole house. Dust, dog hair, and dead scorpions. The dreaded 3 Ds. Thankfully they were all dead, but I really didn't need to see 7 of them. So defeating. Then on NextDoor this morning a neighbor posted asking for a scorpion sting remedy since she was stung on her lower back this morning sitting down on her couch with a cup of coffee!! Whole new vistas of things to worry about.
After the vacuuming yesterday, I went to leave and the exit gate to our neighborhood wouldn't open. It's our only way out. Lots of back and forth with the board president and the repair guy and neighbors who had workmen that couldn't get out. He came and fixed it, then it broke again this morning! More back and forth. Before the guy could get here to fix it (which took 2 hours, another big problem), a dump truck tried to get out the entrance and ripped the steel gates off the wall and broke both gear boxes. The gates are irreparably mangled and we'll need to have new ones fabricated. The dump truck company said they will pay for it. It's going to be pricey. Next up is meeting with the sheriff's department this afternoon to file a report in case the company balks once the estimates come back. And while that's happening a bunch of fire rescue trucks came through to rescue a hiker as our neighborhood back fence was closer to the victim. Pandemonium! My neighbor who I really like jokingly said, "you know everything was just fine until you came home..." Ha!
The repairs are happening to my deck and it looks incredibly torn up, but like he is doing a super job. The wallpaper in my power room looks great.
Just walked the dog - it's a gorgeous day. It's interesting how different the light is here vs Michigan this time of year. In MI, it's a gold glow as the sun is getting low in the sky. Here it's still high up and incredibly bright. Lots of balloons this morning over the house. Kirby had forgotten about them and barked up a storm upon hearing/seeing them. So vicious...
I think that's it. Need to go rustle up some lunch. Take care all!
Yah, I ran out of time before the move to do it right so it was take all or nothing at all (and of course, I couldn't do that). Loved your idea about winnowing out scenic views. 21 huge albums and aiming to cut in half.
LOL! So you moved all the photos to your new home? I did that for my prior 2-3 moves but I just won't have the storage space anymore so it was time.
