Hey I planted flowers for the people who are going to walk through my house (in pots)!

Stepdaughter definitely is embracing a relationship with you. Having been arms length from my stepdaughter of 43 years for probably 30 of those years I can tell you that when they open up it is a wonderful thing.

She is having 6 attendants. Not sure who all will be at the dress seeking appointment.

Greetings
It's cool and misty here today. Needed wipers on the way to Scrabble. It was a triumphant day for me as I won all three games including defeating The Shark. He is a very serene person but was emoting quite a bit about his lack of play options! Funny.
I came back home rather than stop at the studio. I am expecting a call about our gallery lease. Member meeting tonight and I hope to be able to report.
Tuna salad for lunch. Dinner last night was scrambled eggs. Tonight might be equally humble as the meeting is at 5;30 and will surely make me cranky and unwilling to cook.
Paula so cool you get to go on the dress shopping mission. Thats the fun part. Is there a big entourage?
And yeah, having aunties (and sisters) can be great.
DD I hear you on the bedding plants. In the midwest I would always get them too early and then have to frost protect. Bet they do just fine.
Not much else. I woke up kind of achey today so I am consuming advil. DH has some new kind of leg vibrating device that you stand on. Actually he has two different ones. Hmmm

We really have come a long way and it just warms my heart!

We love the downtown! I grew up behind Grandad's Bluff!

Liz sorry that friend let you down. I hope the person who you can hire gets the painting done quickly and well. Yes, cats are really creatures of habit, and don't welcome changes to the routine of their humans. When my son was young enough to have a set bedtime, his cat would come and meow at him if he was staying up later.
Looks like a nice day today, no rain last night, and sunny this morning. We had a lovely evening with friends last night, and we were able to use the deck. Bonus is although we didn't deep clean, we did tidy up, and clean the bathrooms well. So we'll leave the house in decent shape tomorrow. BFF will be here most days we are gone. Hopefully she will keep my flowers alive. Every year I tell myself you're going to be traveling, don't put in a bunch of bedding plants, just have some baskets, but then I can't resist. They are looking very pretty this year with all the rain and no punishing heat.
This morning I have a pedicure appointment, and then I need to get serious about packing. The long range forecast for the beach looks mild, not the sweltering heat we've experienced the last 2 Julys on the east coast.
Lovely post, Paula. Your mom and aunts are fortunate to have each other. As those of us in this club know well, you gotta be in the club to appreciate the value of the club.
And how lovely that your stepdaughter is including you in the dress selection ritual. You've come a long way.

I love LaCrosse! DH and I spent a weekend there a few years ago and found lots of fun things to do. It's so picturesque, and the downtown itself is charming.
Good morning friends! Weight back up a smidge, I either got rehydrated from my day out in the hot, humid weather or just need a good poop! Oh well, if I weighed weekly instead of daily (or truthfully more) I wouldn't be so obsessed with the little fluctuations.
Packing up today to spend a few days in La Crosse (hometown). We stay at a hotel in the downtown area right off the Mississippi River and there is always lots to do and good places to eat! Tomorrow we will visit with my Mom, brother and two aunts that are traveling through the area. They are my Dad's sisters and both of them along with my Mom lost their spouses in the last 2 years. Thursday we will meet up with my two best friends for dinner and an outdoor concert.
I love the idea of not tracking food but I don't trust myself to get enough calories or protein if I don't! Protein is definitely not my first choice when it comes to food and even with tracking, I'm often short of 1000 calories (which I set as my goal). I've been having a Premier Protein shake before bed most nights to add to both my protein and calorie levels.
I have no nausea or anything at the higher dose. I really think a lot of my early symptoms were from that whey isolate protein powder! Glad DS#3 can use it!
Stepdaughter is getting married next May. Our relationship started off pretty rocky (her end) but has improved a lot especially over the last year or so. She texted me this week and asked me to join her and her friends to the wedding dress shopping experience. I feel honored that she wants me there as the "mother figure". It's times like this that her loss has to be extra painful. I'm more than happy to go, so a flight to North Dakota has been booked!
