It is foggy today. The sunny weather was too good to last though I don't mind fog. It is cooling. Whatever. The new gallery treasurer called and wants to take over doing the gallery deposits so she can reconcile the cash better. Fine with me but I don't think she realizes how much she is taking on - gotta go pick stuff up all the time and take it to the bank. So I spent the morning making a big package of stuff she will need. After that it was payroll, some studio time and then trip to the gallery to take new stuff there.

Crud Liz. Blisters! No fun. Hope it clears up. Sore feet spoil everything. Did your SIL ever find a dress for this trip?

Boo we hate to see the Peps chronicles coming to an end. What a great trip. Safe travels.

Paula the pool party sounds fun. Kind of a 60's thing but very much a good time. I don't know why people don't do that more often as it is a great family thing. Around here there are few outdoor pools. It is just too cold.

We had the quiche last night. It gets an A for easy. Enough for two more nights.

I am gonna have to take the dogs to the groomers. They are scruffy and sort of stinky. Peps I know you are cringing from he thought of me having these dogs clipped but it just has to be done. Maybe just the older one?

We started a new series called The Waterfront. It is okay but kind of dopey. It was advertised as being like Ozark but it is not that good. But better than exploding aliens.

You are in fantastic shape which will serve you well for an active retirement. No surprise you needed a good nap though with everything you have been doing. Are most of the excursions you have been taking included in your cruise or have you purchased quite a few additional ones?

Sort of a busy day... early up and out to visit Schönbrunn Palace in Vienna. It was the summer palace for the Hapsburgs from the 1700s -1918. Quite the little summer home. LOL. After a later lunch, I napped. I mean really napped. Like two hours. WOW! Felt great. Not gonna lie.

We have one more day. We are cruising to Budapest. We will do a panoramic tour of Budapest and in the afternoon see the Hungarian Horsemen exposition. Then, we'll pack up and head to the airport the next morning. I will be happy to get home, but a bit sad to leave this life of luxury behind!

I have appreciated my higher level of fitness a lot during this trip. I have noticed how much more spry I am than the average fellow on this cruise - especially on the walking tours. Also, I have noticed how many people use their arms to help them get out of chairs. Grateful for all those squats I do! LOL!

I'll post a few pics on TT. Food was good today!

DH has gone golfing (6:30 am tee time). No way I would play this early, but he is happy to get up for it. I hope he does okay as he is still suffering from sciatica though it has been improving.

Yesterday I didn't accomplish much other than planting the flowers I bought and starting my packing. I have a few bulky items so I hope they fit in the suitcase (current converter, steamer and at least one pair of wedge shoes, maybe 2). DSD who is arriving 2 days after us sent a picture of the clothes she laid out to pack. Much better at color coordinating everything than me.

I did pick a bunch of hydrangeas yesterday and have them in vases all over the place.

Not sure what we will do today other than continuing the pre-packing like getting medications counted out. Maybe a little beach time? That's a bit difficult for me right now as I have a skin condition which causes blisters on my feet and when it is active I have to work hard to make sure they don't get infected. Getting sand in them is not good. Wouldn't you know it would flare up right before I leave for Europe?

Time for a Justice walk soon! Have a monstrous Monday!

It's another sunny mild day here. In the 60's outside. If anyone wants a summer trip without sticky heat or mosquitoes, come here. United Airlines has a flight direct from Denver to my back yard. Summer here is so fine.

So I did my walking and rediscovered old Laura Nyro music which was the sound track of my college years. After that I stopped at the hippie grocery and bought a quiche. No pot pies. Old people discount day. Skipped the studio as I will be there tomorrow.

Peps did you get to see the horses at the riding academy? Bet they are awesome. How interesting that Patton helped the school survive. Can you get over the counter codeine there? I would...

DD the sweet peas do not have blooms yet so no fragrance. I can't wait. The roses have a little. Hope your travels go well and aunt does ok.

Yep Liz take charge of deck arrangement. If you have the spacial ability go for it. My DH also has none so those of us that have it must take charge. And get more hydrangeas.

CC are you getting ready to travel?

Interesting about the trizepidide doses. Hope you all find sweet spot. Interesting how we expect a body reset when we weigh each morning yet somehow our bodies did not get the memo.

Yeah I would not plan on Egypt anytime soon. Med cruise? Maybe.
