Happy Anniversary to Paula and her DH. Time flies doesn't it?

Hopefully all sick folks are at least a bit better today.

So many questions about the arrest of Maduro in Venezuela. Was the action legal? Will Congress okay it after the fact? Can the US really run the country (should it)? Definitely best to be Canadian when out of the US these days.

Yesterday was a good day. We went to Port St Lucie to look at a hutch I saw on FB Marketplace. It is an old, heavy, solid piece that has been refinished and will fit perfectly in the wall space I want it on. It is being delivered tomorrow. Very reasonable delivery price which made that decision easy. Picture below. After that we went to an outdoor Tiki bar on the water in that area to listen to music and have appetizers for dinner. I had shrimp on a skewer with pineapple and a coconut sauce. So good!

Today the usual Sunday bus leaves at 7:30, followed by a Justice walk. We have a Nine and Dine golf outing at 2:30. Most everyone in the community is playing. It should be fun. We start on the one hole where the tee shot is over water. A mental challenge especially on the first tee shot of the day.

Have a serene Sunday!

That dinner sounds delicious!

I am with Kurt on keeping some sparkly lights up. I have a tree on the lanai on a timer with them.

I am in Palm Springs. Yesterday was a phenomenal day for my dogs! I showed my two regulars - Buster and Grizz, but also one of my pups that was bred with some friends who do not have the skillz to show the dog, so I do it. It is a labor of love and friendship because getting an Airedale ready for the show ring is no small feat. It takes 3 months of coat work and about 90 minutes of prep each morning for the show ring. All three dogs got group placements. Dash (the young Airedale) won the Bred by Exhibitor Best in Terrier Show. Grizz won an owner handled group 3 and a $100. But it was Buster who made me the proudest! He was awarded a Terrier Group 4 at the Desert Empire Terrier show, beating many of the top, top terriers in the United States. Then today, of course, was the "back to reality" day where we did very little. Grizz earned a point towards his championship and Buster was awarded select dog (1st runner up to best of breed).

Glad the sickies are feeling better and that the weather is warming for the snow birds. The usual glorious Palm Springs weather is not to be had this weekend. BOOOOOO! At least it's in the low 60s and not raining.

The "capture" is unsurprising. Venezula's oil has been a target of interest for months and months.

Paula, even last summer I avoided telling people I was from the USA. There was already much anti-American sentiment in Europe.

Sort of exhausted so that's it from me today!

I got on the waitlist back in April or May, but then never heard anything and figured it was the universe telling me it was the wrong time. But I'm still on the list, so there must be other plans for us!
