PS - I got my first pair of HOKA shoes. I'm a convert. They may not be the prettiest, but DAYUMMMM! They are are a little slice of AWESOME!

The day got away from me, I guess. I had an appointment at 10 am to look at an apartment for my dad in the memory care side of his assisted living place. That was a no go because it was a suite of rooms shared by three women. Yeah, no.... NOT a good idea. So, I didn't even go look at the rooms.
11 am dentist appointment, then on to Trader Joe's to pick up some supplies for my dad (and eggs for us) then home for lunch. At 2 pm I had vet appointments for 2 dogs. Finished that, came home sat around for a bit and then hit the gym around 5 pm. I've got to feed the dogs and cook dinner so we have something to eat when Ron gets back from his liturgy meeting with the new pastor. (Though I'm tempted to hit El Pollo Loco for Taco Tuesday!)
Oh, I was in such fine spirits while at Trader Joe's, I bought a bouquet of Sunflowers for my side table. I've a sense of calm lately. Feels good.
I agree with everyone about visiting Auschwitz. It will be a powerful experience. Visiting the Anne Frank house in Amsterdam had a strong impact on me. While it was sobering, there was a sense of its overpowering historical importance that was inspiring. I visited several historical WWII sites while on the cruise. Powerful reminders of the past and how it happened. It was impossible not to make correlations to some of what is going on in our own country today.

Yes! Fresh would taste much better but jar Salsa would be easy and quick!

Kind of nice when there is a bonus day to get ready for company. I hope the dental visit went okay.
Loving caregiver to your Mom, all your children and to aging, toothless dogs. So sweet.
123.7. Down a smidge.
Had a lazy day most of the day. But got motivated this afternoon so DH and I took a hike. Lots of hills and steps which clocked 250 feet of elevation gained, 876 up and 784 down. Both are a good leg workout.
Also ground up meats for dogs, chicken and pork. One only has 2 teeth yet so we have to make ground meat for them.
Still need to prepare for Bible study on Thursday mort. I might go and help out in the garden tomorrow.

Greetings all
Another overcast day here but the sun will likely visit later. DH is out running errands so I have my way with the tv. I do like news shows but DH is getting so cranky about national news that we have to limit it. Whatever.
Today's mission involves considerable time at the dentist. Hopefully they will seat the crown that did not get done last time because it did not fit. That and three fillings. This time I will go armed with a klonipin to keep anxiety in check. I just hate this stuff. In addition I will make a gallery run to take new stuff. I will also continue the house cleaning. My visitor may be a day later than expected as she is on an epic road trip. So be it.
Liz I am so glad you will visit Auschwitz. DD is right. It is important to preserve, remember and respect these places. Not easy but not everything is fun. A meaningful trip.
DD sounds ike a good time to visit the young family building a new house. Bet those kids are having a ball living in the trailer. What an adventure. And yes, significant gardening counts as a work out. Love your description of the Cabaret performance. Art matters.
We are still stunned by the flood events in Texas. Hoping new alarm systems result. Our area has tsunami sirens though I don't think they work. We are not in the tsunami zone - one negative about that ocean view house I looked at is that it is in the zone. There was an earthquake a few minutes ago to the south of here but minor. We did not feel it.
Time for me to get moving. Dog blankets and debris await.
