Coolish here today, when we walked to the nearby coffee shop for a late breakfast. City living does have it's perks. Later we went to see the movie The Big Bold Beautiful Journey. Pretty meh, which was disappointing because it starred Colin Farrell and Margot Robbie who are talented actors. DD hated it, DH said he liked parts of it, and I felt like there was a story there, but we just skimmed the surface like a skipping stone and never got to the depths of anything compelling.

Now we are trying to pack all of the souvenirs we've collected along the way including several bottles of wine and one of honey whiskey. I think we can do it!

It's been a wonderful trip, or I guess several different trips. Part 1: Boston Part 2: Scotland Part 3: Rockport MA Part 4: Ithaca and the Finger Lakes Part 5: Amherst Part 6: Boston . DH asked if I'm ready to go home, and I am, but if he said we could deviate to stop at a warm sandy beach, I could wait a few more days to go home. That's one thing I haven't had so far in my retirement. I went swimming ONCE since June. I will make up for it the 6 weeks we are in Brazil.

I'll "see" you all tomorrow when I'm back to the midwest.

This was a year or two before vsg...ds

Sending good vibes for the house search!!

Wow, I would never considered an element like nickel could be in foods to the extent it causes an allergic reaction. Very interesting though, that you could research it, and make some dietary changes. hope it brings you relief from very troublesome symptoms.

121.5 for 3 days in a row. Guess my body is liking this weight right now.

We are in glorious Florida with temps in the lower 90's and humidity isn't bad at all today. If I wasn't wearing layers of compression clothing, the temps would have been perfect. I'm going to try and only wear bike shorts under my clothes tomorrow instead of full length compression stockings and bike shorts under my clothes. Hopefully the swelling won't be too bad. If so, I'll readjust later in the day with the whole garb! I did get some feet swelling from the 3 hours plane ride.

Went to a restaurant called Twisted Lobster tonight. DH had a lobster roll and fries and I had fried clam strips and clam chowder (shared both with DH and I took one bite of his lobster roll). Of course we got Key Lime pie to go and that has already been consumed! When in Florida........

Hope you and Justice had a good walk Liz. I would pack a lunch at the beach club too (it's an actual sandy beach on the water right?). One of my fav meals last time we were in Sarasota was turkey and cheese charcuterie on Rosemary crackers when we took the boys to Siesta Key beach!

Tomorrow we will look at 3 houses in Bab**** Ranch and then on Tuesday will visit 2 different golf communities and look at another 3 homes. Fingers crossed that we will feel at "home " with one of them, an offer will be made and accepted and our house will sell without incident!
