Oh boy. What a tough position to be in. But I think DD is right - she knew she was doing something not allowed but hoped no one would do anything about it. I think everyplace that I have lived which has an HOA has had that restriction BTW.

119.8

Quick post: We already did the Justice walk and I need to leave in a few minutes for water aerobics. DH plays golf in the Senior Championship tournament at 10:30.

Good day yesterday culminating in an enjoyable happy hour at the club, then dinner out at a nice new restaurant downtown.

I have had a somewhat scratchy throat for 3-4 days which I wake up with the morning and mostly subsides during the day. I wondered if it was allergies. But no, today I feel like I have a slight cold. So with the slow buildup does it mean that my body has been fighting it off and it will stay as a slight cold OR am I going to get a rip-roaring cold??? Time will tell.

Have a satisfying Saturday!

I have a brother who's 73 who says that every one of his longtime buddies now has a bidet. They've lived pretty rough lives physically (they started out together as teenagers in Vietnam, spent a lot of time in the woods, worked physical jobs, did some farming on the side, etc.) and are simply not as flexible (especially in the shoulders) as they used to be, which makes "wiping" a lot more complicated than it once was.

These are the ones I have loved: The wool upper is super soft. They can also be washed in the machine: https://www.allbirds.com/products/womens-wool-runners?price- tiers=msrp%2Ctier-1%2Ctier-2

Something tells me you will not find yourself bored after you retire ;)

Thank you! The HOA is required to announce when the board is meeting, even if no one else is invited. So she was understandably curious as to why we were meeting.

I did ask the president how the business came to her attention and she said she was walking in the neighborhood and some of the son's clients were having trouble finding the house and stopped to ask directions. Wrong person to have asked! She went home and started googling and the rest is history...

Yrs, awful position to be in. I suspect the friend knew something was coming, or why did she ask about the meeting? How did she know it was happening? People don't like being called out on what they know they shouldn't be doing... But those are the rules she agreed to, and they protect her too from someone opening a yoga studio or hair salon etc. You did nothing wrong.

Fortunately stumbled upon an Amish grocery store down the road aways...4.25 a dozen for extra large and feeling right fortunate about it.

3.7 mph?!! Wonderful. You are a mere .3 away from the magic 4.0. You go, girl!
