After I read Diane's comment about hot dogs I recalled that there is a Wine Dinner at the club with hot dogs this week. The Wine Dinners are generally elegant dinners with multiple fancy foods paired with wines from a specific vineyard or distributor. The theme this week is "Take me out to the ballgame", and hot dogs are one of the featured foods. Cute idea, but we are not spending $125 a person for that.

Paula, first celebration for the wedding tonight! Have a great time!

The next week here is forecast to be very sunny and HOT! Summer has definitely arrived. We need to do the longer dog walks early and late in the day with just short ones in mid-day. We may go to the beach club but only if there is a nice breeze by the water and will stay under the umbrella. Good training for Aruba in 2 weeks. Speaking of which, DH lost another couple of pounds and wants to be down 3 more to 190 by Aruba. That may be a stretch. His weight loss is noticeable to everyone now.

Tonight we are going to a fancy restaurant by the water an hour away. Many people have recommended it over the years but we have never made it there. One of those things to do in the last weeks here that we have put off all year. The total bill will most certainly be less than that wine dinner with much better food.

I am done with golf here for the season. Worst game ever yesterday. Maybe I should take the summer off entirely, then start the fall with lessons? It would save on packing.

Have a thirsty Thursday!

Haven't had a ricotta bake in a long time. Nor have I had a good hotdog. Hmmm...

Costco hot dogs are the bomb! (And I'm not a big lover of hot dogs!)

Long travel day. Glad to be at our VRBO. Dogs for the most part traveled well, we drugged both of them with Trazodone. I'm pretty sure Emma peed on me a bit in the car. She was on my lap the whole time and my shirt and pants were a little wet when we took one of our bathroom/gas stops.

Tomorrow we need to pick up DC2 at the airport, take possession on the grand cat and do some errands for DSD. Tomorrow night there will be a gathering with the families and entire bridal party at the bridal party's VRBO. I think they are having Qdoba cater it. I think one of our errands is picking up the food for the party. Hope it was paid for in advance. Our monetary contributions to the wedding were given long ago!

Good for DH. We just shrunk a medium Tommy Bahama shirt of DH's by not paying attention washing/drying instructions. He only wore it once! Perhaps DC2 can wear it but I'm not sure it's his aesthetic as he would say!
