117.8 - always shocks me when I gain 1.4 pounds in a day. The apple cider donut was worth it though ;)

Lots of driving yesterday but that was worth it too. Great dinner followed by cake and ice cream at my nephew's home afterwards. Nice family gathering and my great-nephew was in fine form. A very active, handsome almost 5 year old. He brought us up to see his room which is wall to wall matchbox cars, LOL. The only downside was that my niece was very uncomfortable as she thought her breast was infected and was going to the ER after we left. It was on the side where she had a mastectomy, then a breast implant. Seems like she can't cut a break.

Today is more driving to meet people but not nearly as far. We are going an hour away to my former town to meet some friends and eldest DD at a winery this afternoon, followed by dinner with 2 other couples, SIL, and DD. We had wanted to get together with them all summer. It is supposed to be another beautiful day like yesterday with temperatures in the 70s.

Have a sunny Sunday!

Hi everyone, happy Sunday.

I'm getting ready to return to AZ tomorrow. Kirby just got his bath and blowdry. Jiminy Christmas, he makes the latter part a horrendous experience. He treats it as Dog Wrestlemania with teeth and claws. He has a fabulous time and I'm wiped out and in pain...

It's been a good summer, but I am ready to go home. I've been reading your posts daily, just haven't been in much of a mood to post. Glad you all are well and having fun!

The summer went by fast, and then it occurred to me not really, it IS October after all. With this extra warm weather my brain still thinks it's July. Safe trip home!!

83 here yesterday and 80 today. Crazy to see people swimming in Lake Michigan a week into October!

We have missed you (and missed hearing about Kirby)! We will be in Sedona in 13 days for 2 nights following a wedding in Scottsdale.

I'd love to see you guys if you have time!

I will let you know!

Pa - will you be there the night of the 20th? It's the first night of the Plein Air Festival and there is a paint out from 4-7 at DA Ranch which is pretty and fun. I?'m going if you guys want to go! https://sedonaartscenter.org/product/d-a-ranch-sedona-plein- air-festival-paint-out-2025/

We will be there (arrive on the 19th and leave later in the day on the 21st). Will check with DH.

DH and I just bought tickets! We can meet you there?!?

Of course! That's awesome (sorry, I didn't see this earlier)!
