I like pot roast too as does DH. But I haven't made it for years (certainly not since I met him). Will have to try it your way at some point.

I enjoy wineries too and cheese and crackers are always a treat. I could do charcuterie for dinner most nights!
Yum! I like pot roast but DH doesn't so I don't make it anymore!
Yes, where is CC? Hope everything is okay.
Home shopping sounds fun Paula, oh the possibilities!
Loved the picture on Facebook of the boys just sacked out on the hotel beds after a busy day Peps. Congratulations on your outstanding wins!
Florida looks like home on you Liz.
Diane, absolute admiration for the discipline you flex by starting and completing your gym plans. Has it been over a year now since you started going consistently?
Busy day exploring wineries in the Finger Lakes region. We went on a walk to a waterfall in the morning. The woods smelled spectacular. After that we visited 3 very different in feel wineries. I did a tasting at each one. When we finished number 3, I was definitely done with wine for the day. It was lots of fun to try so many different wines, and I think I learned a few things about what I like. We had some cheese and crackers along with our wines, which is always my favorite. The weather was perfect, sunny, but not too hot. The lake region is extremely scenic. A very good day.
Right now DH and friends are watching the Vikings game on the TV in the breakfast room. I watched for awhile, but not really my thing. I came up to the room, and will go to sleep in a little bit. Tomorrow we drive to Cooperstown to go to the Baseball Hall of Fame. Absolute bucket list item for our friend. I will bring a book, because I'm sure I will finish the museum before the others. Not a problem, a little time alone will be good.
Greetings all
The sun finally popped put. Yay. Got my usual slow start today but finally did some gallery banking. I also started a pot roast in the slow cooker this morning so we will have a feast tonight. It smells great and seems pretty tender. Thyme, a bay leaf, salt and pepper and a cup of red wine make a great roast. DH does not know about the wine. It is good sized roast for the two of us so dogs will get to share.
I had to force myself to get to the gym. I was feeling old and achey and did not want to go but bargained with myself that if I go I could quit early. Well once I get halfway done I might as well do it all. So sitting here smugly with a glass of fair life milk.
Gallery duty again tomorrow so it will be a busy day with kiln opening also.
Peps that pic at the show is great! Love the casual element. It that the show that is at the Marin County civic center? Bet it is a really big one so your win is all the more special!
My 2 cents on your Dad's meds: my mother was prescribed some anti anxiety meds and sleeping meds that crazy pat would not let her take because she did not want my mother doped. I regret that I did not stand up to her more and get my mom the meds. Hoping your Dad is comfortable with whatever is worked out. Seems like feeling a little dopey is better than being fearful.
Liz we love your view. Dolphins please.
Paula please don't overdo it. And what a great way to look at houses! Nice. Good luck. Sounds like a good way to eliminate the NO WAY places.
Time to add the carrots and potatoes.

I get that! That's one reason I insisted on getting a new for us home when DH and I got together!
I love that you are able to do those virtual tours. Such a great advantage.
I am happy to be warm but also this is my home now which makes me happy being here. DH's home on the Cape is great but I will always feel like I am just visiting.

Medication with dementia is tough to wrap one's head around. Over-medicated may keep them non-combative and not scared. I never would have thought that but it was what happened with deceased DH. When he couldn't understand what was going on in the last stage he was frightened and lashed out (like a dog does when they don't feel safe). Sometimes medication is the only solution even though they may end up out of it. Such a sucky disease.

Yes! Screen AND glass sliders. So year-round no matter the weather.
