119.8 - same. Don't know why it bothers me to hover in the 119s vs 118s. I guess because last year I mostly hovered one pound lower. Like that matters?

DD got home safely yesterday evening after we spent a few hours on the beach with her - actually a bit early contrary to her arrival when her flight was 2.5 hours late. She was originally going to be here for a week from Monday to Monday, but had to move it up to leave on Friday because of a funeral she has to attend over the weekend. Then the storm caused a move from Monday to Tuesday. So a short but good visit!

Last night we had leftovers and I washed the sheets and towels in preparation for the friends arriving today. We were with them in the Keys and they are staying here for 1-2 nights on their way back north. They don't arrive until 5 so we have the day to do our chores. I would cook something for dinner but they don't eat a lot of the same stuff we do. The wife used to be vegetarian but has morphed to eating fish and I guess some organic meats, but not all and is very picky about everything. So I don't feel comfortable cooking. DH suggested a restaurant where we took them previously and they liked it.

In the meantime, I have to put laundry in, a walk with Justice, then yoga and food shopping. Good way to fill a cloudy, potentially showery day. Have a stimulating Saturday!

189.2 Who knows what came over me, but I got all my tax stuff together yesterday afternoon! Shocking.

Continued warm here, but along with being about 80, there was a nice breeze making walking Kirby comfortable.

Liz, cooking for picky eaters is such a minefield. You guys were right to decide to do a restaurant instead!

Not sure what we're doing today. They don't seem inclined to want to do activities. We had planned to go to the botanical gardens in Phoenix, but it's over 90 down there, so that didn't sound good to anyone.

The gate guy starts Monday. Excited about that. Fingers crossed I like it. If I do, I might have him extend the North side patio fence to have gates on both sides. It has a privacy fence, but the ends are open, so Kirby can't go out there.

Anyway, that's here for now. Here's a bonus pic of Kirby enjoying ear scritches from my dad. He's going to be so sad when they leave. They are both threatening to dognap him and take him home with them.

Have a nice weekend!
