I hope that cold stays at a low level. I actually think it is good that people now wear masks when they have something like a cold. I feel like we used to go to work and shed all kinds of germs (which is why I was always paranoid about touching doorknobs and stair railings at work). But it was unacceptable in those days to work from home and we were expected to be in the office unless we were incapacitated.

You absolutely are a savvy shopper to be prepared to feed all those people for $300! Do keep warm though! I used to work with people in offices in the mid-west and would hear how cold their winter was. Made me feel guilty complaining when the temperatures are in the 20s in Massachusetts.

I loved the polar bear hat! So great that you are jumping right into meeting people and having fun.
Where did you eat in ***** Gorda? When I lived in Port Charlotte we usually went out in ***** Gorda or Venice.

I think the slow mornings are one of the best parts of retirement. I used to think I would sleep later after I retired but I still get up fairly early partially to enjoy lots of coffee drinking, news reading, OH posting time and just ease into the day. Sitting here next to DH drinking my coffee with Justice on my lap is the best!

Update on the man who fell while climbing: "Great news in regard to the GoFundMe campaign for our friend and longtime contributor (to Arizona Highways magazine) John Burcham. As of this morning, we've crossed the 60 percent mark in the current goal to raise $100,000. That money will help with the mounting medical expenses that John and his wife, Bernadette, are facing in the wake of his John's tragic climbing accident in Sedona.
John was about 40 feet up a new route he was pioneering when the sub-pillar within the rock collapsed violently, sending John careening down in an uncontrollable fall and causing all of his protection to rip out. After crashing to the ground, a coffee-table-sized boulder landed directly on the upper part of his body, breaking nearly every bone in his face. Because he's a veteran climber and the consummate professional, John was wearing a helmet, which split down the middle (swipe to see it). Nevertheless, it did the job. And saved John's life."
