Blueberry pancakes actually sound really good to me right now! I think I'm getting weary of protein bars!

Prescription masks aren't all that expensive - deceased DH had one and one of our friends here just got one. Shops that have them just pick whatever is closest to your prescription- obviously if your eyes are very different you need each each side to be distinct.

AND only 1.5 days!!!!!!

Well we had good weather for one day, yesterday. Here comes several rainy days in a row.

Liz I do hope the rain/wind lets up so you can snorkel before your time runs down. Diane interesting that you have prescription snorkel mask. I've considered it. I do find the refraction of the water improves my vision to a degree, but can't help but wonder what I'm missing out on.

Kayaking at last Paula. There is something so zen the moment you feel your kayak lift in the water and start to float.

Peps you are making the most of it! How many stories are there like Anne Frank's? The world can be so cruel. And in the midst of deep, unimaginable cruelty, there are those people who are beacons of light, like the people who tried to save Anne and her family. Because of them, we can go on, despite the horror.

More sweet cards from students, some homemade, some purchased, all absolute treasures. Aww, my heart. One full day tomorrow, and then a short one on Friday. Friday at 1:30pm I have an appointment with my Weight Loss Surgery clinic. Kind of anticlimactic, but I want to get it out of the way.

I agree on the pancakes. Seems like almost every American breakfast on a menu has pancakes included. Often to just have eggs I have to do them as a side order. I actually don't like most American pancakes because they are too fat and cakey for me. I prefer something more like a crepe which is actually what a Dutch pancake consistency is like but they are just way too big.

You do know I was being tongue in cheek, right? But I did love that the Dutchman thought of Florida being home to octogenarians only!

The average age in the community we live in is about 59-60 now (in 2020 it was in the mid 70's). So not everyone in Florida is super old. A lot of people are buying and working from there at least part time in their 50's.

Ultimate compliment from a Dutchman at the National Holocaust Museum today: "While you are very tan, you are far too young to be from Florida. You must be from California?"

So Paula, you better rethink that Florida thing... You're a year younger than I am! LOL!!!!

Greetings all

Cloudy again today. The house got cleaned and it appears that DH has finally done some de-junking in our bedroom. I reserve judgement however until I inspect the rest of the house to make sure it has not just migrated to some other room. Meanwhile the house got cleaned and I am getting organized for the day. Same old gym and studio and such. The gallery member that I split days with is still in the hospital and has in fact been moved to the university hospital in SF. So that does not sound good even though he is better off there than here. They can't seem to figure out whether he had a heart attack or not.

Thanks for the travel updates Peps. European breakfast sounds great. We should take note. America seems to run on pancakes. You will indeed leave pounds there if you keep this up. Seven miles is a lot. We should all eat like Europeans. Three meals, modest portions and no snacking. Seems pretty straight forward. Glad you got to the Ann Frank house. That series "All The Light You cannot See" provided so much back story on those events

Ditto the Liz travel report. Nothing like beach basking.

More chores to do around here including organizing gallery papers and cleaning off my desk. If DH is getting junk cleared out then I had better do the same. Only fair.

DD T minus two days?

Take care all. Diane S
