That yacht looks incredible Liz! How fun! I?m with Ann, how can anyone not like salmon!

128.5, same! I?m good with that!

Had a good early birthday celebration with the fam last night. Cake was only okay, not that it any different from what it has been, my desire for that kind of food has just diminished quite a bit. I had a second small piece today and now I?m done with it! Go at it boys! We played a fun game called code names. It?s kind of like password in that your partner has to guess a word with just a one word clue.

Tomorrow I have my plastic surgery consult. Planning on a tummy tuck at minimum and a 360 circumferential lift with additional thigh lift at the most. We shall see what he thinks and how much it will all cost.

Enjoy the week ahead!

I used to play a lot of gin rummy with an ex of mine. Problem was that he didn't like to lose so we had to keep on playing if he wasn't winning!

Party on my friend, 1999 or 2025!

129 lbs.

Happy Sunday morning. A bit dreary here in Kentucky today--just regular springtime weather.

Liz, your yachting holiday looks wonderful! But I don't know how to understand that someone doesn't like (love!) salmon! It's such a healthy, delicious dish. I wish I were there to eat all DH's leftovers. LOL!

We've already been to Home Depot and to Costco, which is enough of a chore list. The rest of today will be a lot of gin rummy, trash talk, and ****tails. Sometimes we revisit our courtship spring break behavior. ;) I am so aware all the time now that DH and I are not all that long for this world. The least 10 years have flown by, as will the next 10. So why not party like it's 1999?

Otherwise, nothing to report.

It does look like a dream! What a beautiful way to start the day. Love that it's hot. Perfect for enjoying water activities :)

The blues group we heard last night was really good. The venue was very cool. They serve an awesome French 75. A charming evening.

This morning we're going over to son's apartment for breakfast and he will make us coffees with his fancy machine. Then off for the 5 hour drive home.

Enjoy a charming Sunday!

On the boat - just had breakfast (see below). The boat is beautiful and the crew (3) are super sweet. Already hot this morning. Quite the experience so far. Like being in a dream.

Speaking of which I slept 7 hours last night so in much better shape this morning. We are going to a famous bar, then probably some snorkeling.

Food has been good for me but DH isn't eating much as dinner last night was salmon and there was also salmon on the bagels this morning (he doesn't like salmon). I'm sure it will improve from his perspective.

Have a sunny Sunday!

DD's records have been transmitted thank goodness, but the new doctors are at the better teaching hospital so they may want to repeat some things (though so far just an ultrasound and blood tests have happened successfully).

They did give her a week's worth of progesterone but no iron suggestion - I will mention that to her.

That's nuts, Liz. There are things they could give her to slow bleeding until they can see her instead of letting her suffer. Tranexamic acid or progesterone for two. Make sure she is taking iron supplements in the meantime!

Greetings all

It is not really raining here - just sort of spitting as we used to say in the midwest. More storms to come. I went to the hardware store to find picture hanging stuff for some art items. They are actually ceramic and oddly shaped so I had hoped to find some sort of hook to glue on. No dice. On top of that, all the picture stuff was displayed on a rack that was at least 6 feet off the ground. So it was impossible to see. I asked for a step stool. Also no dice. I left annoyed. I am making my own out of some wire. Get the idea that I hate most retail stores?

So gym after that. Today's music was Peter Paul and Mary. So awesome. I saw them in concert over 30 years ago and they were sort of old then but they are timeless. Made my time fly by.

So today's mission is to make these hangers and see if they work. I should have made holes in the pieces but just did grooves. Oh well.

Yikes Ann I saw the news on tornados. Near Poplar Bluff which I remember from our trips to the Ozarks. Not good. Seems like storms are getting worse. Glad you had a good night out. Two kinds of wine! You are living it up. Never thought of stocking up on champagne but it might be a good plan. Keeps longer than eggs.

DD sounds like a great visit. Your DH has a keeper and we hope he knows that. Fun for you.

Paula french toast bake does sound too sweet but a good brunch dish. A friend of mine used to make a cottage cheese puff dish that was also good. So your kids think you are too thin? Too bad.

Liz glad your DD at least has an appointment though it seems shameful that she has to wait and the other doctor is discarding her. Seek the cancel list indeed. Will her previous records be transmitted so they don't have to re invent the wheel? BVI spounds like fun though rum drinks can be killer. Bon Voyage again.

It appears one of the Big Bear eaglets is deceased though it is hard to tell as the nest surround is deep in snow. Only two bobble heads are visible. Thousands of people are crushed, including me.

Shrimp tonight. I am making a sort of fried rice with a lot of celery and less rice. We shall see. Then it will be time for more Dexter - our new indulgence.
