Generally it doesn't rain too long - a couple of minutes up to maybe 15 at most.

126.4. That uptick is not well deserved. Still well within my range but yikes, up 2+ pounds in 2 days! Makes me a little nervous.

Super busy day today. Started with a walk with DH, then on to a vision appointment. Thank goodness for vision insurance, I would hate to see the bill without it, as it is I had to pay close to $500 and the glasses frames I picked were not even expensive. I did get progressive lenses and paid for some extra imaging of the inside of my eye. I hadn?t been to the optometrist since 2022!

After the eye doctor, DH and I drove up to the Green Bay Botanical Gardens. The blooms have been disappointing this year so far, probably because of the crappy weather we have been having. After we got home we put in the new bushes in our front yard circle along with the metal cranes. I still think a water feature would look great there but we can let the next owner pay for whatever they deem appropriate.

We went out to eat at a newer to us Mexican restaurant (big surprise) and I had Mexican shrimp ****tail. Very flavorful, more like a shrimp gazpacho soup with avocados in it too! I have plenty of leftover for lunch tomorrow!

Time to soak in the tub and warm up these old bones! I am not made for Wisconsin weather, plus I have bought a few more Tommy Bahama dresses that I have been itching to wear and it just hasn?t been warm enough!

Hope you had fun snorkeling Liz! I love snorkeling! Lunch at the beach shack and dinner on the pier sounds wonderful as well. I bet Justice misses you as much as you miss him!

Hope Peps isn?t tearing up Amsterdam too much. DS2 went there the summer after HS graduation. The sex museum was his must see there! Lol!

Ron does not wish to accompany me to the Sex Museum. However, it's right around the corner from the hotel, so I do believe it is a must!

Sounds like it!

The Sex Museum? WTF?

So this is the reason for the change in feelings about Florida. Feeling a *****illy, LOL!

Yes, Wisconsin weather is playing a role in our decision but the housing prices have come down considerably too and there is much more inventory to choose from. We just need to be careful to choose something not in a flood zone and maybe a little more out from the coast.

I was 30 minutes to a beach when I lived in Port Charlotte but anywhere I could afford in Fort Myers when I was looking was just as long timewise (even if a shorter distance). We would go to the beach in Englewood or just north of there or to Boca Grande. Of course those areas are just opening up again after the hurricanes last fall. I think there are a lot of varied property options in Englewood too. We have friends there and their son just bought place near them recently.
