Greetings all
Sunny day here. Works for me. I puttered all morning with gallery banking and record keeping and emails to some of our artists. Also working on our lease renewal. Amazing how long it takes when I do my own clerical stuff. Then I went to the grocery for some basic stuff that we are low on. Burgers tonight I think. The costco carcas will go to the dogs.
Everyone is rocking their weight control. Yay you! Ostrich mode here. Maybe someday...
What a great looking restaurant Liz! Isn't there a big marine lab at Woods Hole? Super view.
Plovers CC! We have snowy plovers here in our dunes which are an endangered species so you can't walk in the dunes during their nesting season. Glad Kirby is amused. No he won't catch them. Our old Liza used to chase the seagulls but of course never caught any. Did get a few crab shells and lots of kelp..
I skipped the studio today. Lots to do there but I have beaucoup chores to do here. Maybe tomorrow.
Paula I looked at your etsy site. Cool stuff. Cards with flowers sell well at our gallery. Hope the show goes well.
We are still hooked on Tehran. Don't know how many episodes are left in season 2 but every single one is a cliff hanger. More tonight.
Talked to my brother. He said he had a great time up here on his visit. Maybe he will be back again this decade.
Birds DD! Chirps on a sunny day are like a perfect condiment to relaxation. Enjoy.

We have plovers here. They are so funny. They will pretend to be injured to lure "predators" (Kirby in their eyes) away from their ground nests. Then they take off flying in crazy patterns a foot or so over the ground squawking for all their worth. The dogs love to chase them. Toys that fly.

I'm happy with the flat stomach. But everywhere else has the gnarly scars. I have always thought I was a good healer, but that was beyond my body's capabilities! One day maybe I'll get those fixed, but I'm not sure I'm brave enough to try my upper half.
The way I describe my sagginess is that I look like a melted candle. Your surgery recovery was so rough, but I hope you can enjoy the outcome now. I would really like to get rid of my apron, but I'm also scared. I'm a slow but solid recoverer. I worry I wouldn't bounce back very fast. And a panniculectomy would be a much less intensive surgery than you experienced.
Beautiful date night setting Liz! I love a vibrant sea breeze for cooling. Breezes are alive, air conditioning (which I absolutely concede is necessary at times) is dead air, devoid of life.
I'm waiting for my brunch to digest a bit, and then I will go work out. We were going to have BFF over for dinner last night, but then her grandson's birthday party invite came up, so we did that instead. So today's plan is to make a nice dinner for DH and myself. We bought veggies at the farmer's market that we need to eat.
Today was supposed to be a heat advisory. It rained in the morning, and will most likely rain this evening. Not hot, or even very sunny, although it's trying to peek through a bit.
Bird watching on the porch this morning was delightful. The birds were stopping by to sip from the bird baths and 2 robins plunged in for their morning baths. I saw a cardinal, woodpecker, robins, yellow finches and house finches.
Are you able to eat fats, or did your pancreas surgery make that a no go? The French eat cheese and fruit for dessert, I'm just saying. And I think we all know how I feel about bacon.
I love the visual!

Wow! That weight is just falling off you! What are your plans for maintaining?

143.6 (no doubt a result of moving Heckle and Jeckle all over living creation) I have no desire to go under 140 which is not a bit attractive on me. I wish I could say, like Ann, " more desserts are in order", but then there is that sugar and white carbs problem. There is a reason why I don't drink anymore and the same thing goes with the above. Different demon screaming the same message....
Liz, the view from the restaurant is to be found nowhere around here, and for sure, if it was, the restaurant would be booked up for decades no matter what the quality of the menu.
Another busy day...hoping to get more stuff over to the new house. Goal for here is to open space and depersonalize, while at the same time leaving enough to maintain the craftsman "vibe". Personally, even though it is good advice, I think the realtor who suggested this ought to be over here helping me do just that.
While I don't have ****ly's cleaning bug, I guess it's time to get after it and have me a sedulous Saturday.
