Do keep that Anniversary card in your pocket for a time when you're feeling better..saving it for when the celebration can be best enjoyed.

Ghandi's quote is a good one to remember.

Yes, will post a picture when hutch is installed. i am pleased to have found one so solid because the new ones I found cost a whole lot more and were made out of fake wood.

Liz, that cabinet is stunning, and has me glancing speculatively at some of my own "brown" wood. Please post pics when you've set up...It's going to look gorgeous.

Devon, no doubt you and Airedale entourage are impressing all and about in a most delightful way. Swann, as he sits disheveled in his corner of the fireplace is your biggest fan and dreams constantly of a time when Prince Charming arrives at the door with diamond studded collar.....

yes, poor dog fits in well with the state of the house at this moment. My dissatisfaction with the overall scruffiness is a sign that I am finally feeling better. Tomorrow is my turnaround day for sure and looking forward to it.

The situation in Venezuela ( no- edit that to the here and now state of affairs in our very own country ) has me deeply disturbed. That the other two branches of government are seemingly complacent and/or incapable of standing up to this madness.....

"When I despair, I remember that the way of truth and love has always won. There may be tyrants and murderers, and for a time, they can seem invincible, but in the end, they always fall. Think of it: always." - Mahatma Gandhi

So sorry you are still under the weather! Out of curiosity, what is the name of that seafood restaurant? I wonder if I've been there.

Oh wow! What a beautiful hutch. You really scored on this one! Have a fun day with Sunday breakfast out, a Justice walk and the 9 and dine!

DH made reservations for our Anniversary at that seafood restaurant we really liked in ***** Gorda but we will need to go a different time, I'm still feeling pretty crappy. Boooooooo! Finally took a Sudafed today but still feeling very plugged up. I'll have to cancel my dentist appointment for tomorrow too, I doubt they will want to work in my germ filled mouth!

120 even today. As predicted, the upward trend has started! I miss going to water aerobics but will wait until I am on the mend. Not fair to get others sick too.

Congrats on the dog show Peps! You should be proud!

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!

Congratulations on a great showing! I haven't looked at the news yesterday this morning. Wondering what the status in Venezuela will be today.
