I didn't realize I could get USAA insurance based on my Dad's service. I have NO papers though as he died almost 60 years ago and my mother died 15 years ago. My moves since then have eliminated all the old papers.

Pa - will you be there the night of the 20th? It's the first night of the Plein Air Festival and there is a paint out from 4-7 at DA Ranch which is pretty and fun. I?'m going if you guys want to go! https://sedonaartscenter.org/product/d-a-ranch-sedona-plein- air-festival-paint-out-2025/
That's an interesting trip excursion in Brazil!
I think a lot of shows that are built around existing music have light storylines because the music is the show. But entertaining if done well. A Dolls House is not my favorite play. A bit too dark for me.

We have missed you (and missed hearing about Kirby)! We will be in Sedona in 13 days for 2 nights following a wedding in Scottsdale.

Congratulations on bringing home the hardware!! I do like the attitude of I've eaten what I've eaten. It acknowledges that we do the best we can in unusual cir****tances, and recriminations for not being perfect don't change anything.
We have USAA courtesy of my father in laws service in the Airforce. Now our kids have it too. Thanks Joe
East coast dog shows are over. Today was the big deal - Montgomery County Kennel Club. It's an all terrier show. The largest all terrier show on the planet, I believe. Crufts has a bigger entry, but it's not solely a terrier show. 5 days of showing is a lot. Buster is exhausted. Even Grizz who showed only 3 days seems pretty wiped out. Me? I'm pooped, but satisfied. Overall, really good results. Grizz went Winners Dog (best of all the non champion males) from the 6 month to 9 month puppy class on Thursday. AMAZING! The next day he was reserve winners dog (first runner up). Buster was overlooked the first two shows altogether. But after that he was in the final line up or in the ribbons for the final 4 shows. Today he earned what I hoped for - an Award of Merit at the national specialty with 84 Airedales entered. The icing of the prize is that for the 125th anniversary of the club I orchestrated the commission of a sculpture for trophy plaques. Buster's award of merit earned him/me one of those beautiful bronze trophies/plaques. I am thrilled.
I will start the drive home tomorrow, but will only go as far as Ohio. I don't feel the need to rush home on the first day after such an exhausting week and a half.
I've eaten what I've eaten the past 10 days. Not to much thought given to it and a lot of eating on the run. I'm hoping my activity level being fairly high will compensate for the extra non nutritional calories I've consumed.
BTW, temperature today in Macungie, PA was in the mid 80s. We've had gorgeous weather here all week.
It's late and I'm tired so it's off to bed!
123 or maybe 124 something. I can't remember! Appetite still increased with unhealthy cravings so I took my first shot in over 6 weeks. Curious to see how it goes!
No news on the house front except that our buyers might have a few more showings. I don't think the family that looked at our house will make an offer. They are looking more for a 2 story and we have a ranch, though the basement is finished with a bedroom, full bath, bar area and family room.
Costco orange chicken for dinner. I really don't like their sauce, too much vinegar so tonight I blended 2 little snack sized cups of mandarin oranges up and added it to the sauce provided with the chicken and thickened it a bit with a corn starch slurry. So much better!
Glad the party went well Liz and sounds like you have more fun plans for visiting. No breakfast bus today eh? Maybe that's why you thought it was Monday!
DD, Brazil plans are coming together. You will have an awesome time!
Safe travels back to AZ CC. Hope your spirits start to feel better soon!
