Greetings all

It is overcast here after a few days of sun. Great for my guest. We had a super fun time reminiscing about our law school days during which we acted like junior high students. Reviewing all our professors and classmates was fun. We also saw many sights and views here, ate at fave restaurants, visited the Murdered by Capitalism grave, gallery and beaches. All good but too short. So now it is up to me to do the next visit and will do so. DH became obsessed with making sure her car was in shape for her trip home so he was checking tire pressure and oil and trying to make sure gps worked and such. So funny. She is like me and hates gps. Give me a paper map any day.

So today I am back to my usual lazing about. I will do the gym and such. House never did get fully picked up but it was all fine. Don't know why I sweat this stuff. I will likely skip studio today and get back to that routine tomorrow.

So Liz bet you are looking forward to getting home. London is great but like all big cities exhausting. I remember the national art gallery as being spectacular. Ditto British museum. Glad you found local toys for the kids. And hope by this time your SIL is safely on the way home. Whew! A trip for the ages for you!

Peps we love the shirt. Agree that you must have it. Why not? Enjoy the leisure.

Paula hope the show goes well. Big sales. Enjoy.

Not much else. All is well here.

Liz, it sounds as if you are READY to get home and back to a more serene life on Cape Cod. 3 weeks of travel is A LOT - especially the way you have done it. I imagine that the first leg with the SILs added a great deal of stress to the start of your trip, too.

I have been searching for the shirt I regret NOT buying while in Germany. My brother thought it was far too loud, so I did not follow my gut as I should have. Found it yesterday (I had been searching the wrong label!). I really should have bought it in Germany. I'm paying a boat load in shipping, but now I am happy. It's ridiculously loud and vibrant, but I really love it. I am now officially on clothes shopping restriction! I have plenty, and being retired, I have fewer places to wear my "fun"/dressier clothes.

Today I have a client dog, but not much else. I think I will do a little around the house and see if Ron would like to go to a movie this evening. We haven't been to a movie in some time and I think it sounds like a good idea.

Here's a pic of the very LOUD shirt...

Wonderful that you had a good visit with your friend! It was worth all the cleaning!

Stay cool today and good luck!

Big city vibe coming off of London pictures! I'm sorry your DD has to face the choice of such a serious surgery, but it would seem her uterus has become her enemy. My story is very different, because I had 2 children and was definitely done with reproducing at 42, but my god, what joy I felt about losing that traitorous organ that brought me do much pain and misery. A friend wrote in a card, Now you are like the Goddess Diana, running free and unencumbered trhough the woods. I liked that idea.

Paula, we are in the same state! I wnt to an art show and the farmer's market today. Hope your show went well.

After the farmer's market, we went to a state park thst has a fabulous lake called Devil's Lake. DS says it is named with a level of disrespect. It was (is) a sacred space for Native Americans in the area, and was named Devil by settlers because it was part of what they considered a pagan religion. He said there is a current movement to rename it Spirit Lake. Anyhow, it is gorgeous, and the water was warm and clear, so we had a nice swim. Later we had a nice dinner, and now we are back at the hotel.

Tomorrow we will have bruch, and then there will be a bike ride for the riders, which is not me. I don't mind a little down time.

BFF's son is staying at our house while he works out where he is going to live now that he and his wife agree that they will separate. There will be many tough days ahead, but hopefully he is on the path to a happier, healthier life.
