Sounds like a heavenly drive! Isn't it nice sometimes to look at another house and realize how much more you like yours? I used to like that feeling if I viewed another house when not really actively looking though there was always that danger that I might like it more than mine.

Grrrrr, I wrote a long post and poof it's gone!

123.9, moving on up. I think my new goal range is 120-125. I don't feel as skinny as I was before PS. I guess I'm really not since I was about 122 before surgery and he took about 4 pounds of skin off! I didn't want to get below 125, but now I think I can.

House saga continues. Our buyer finally let us out of our contract today so our house is officially on the market. If our seller in FL agrees to a the new contract our realtor will propose, we will have until October 28 to get under contract and will need to close by December 3rd. It's a Hail Mary try, but we are going to give it our all. Had our first official showing tonight and plan on an open house on Sunday.

DSD left today and DS2 arrived. Too bad we had to quickly get the house show worthy and then hop in the car with the dogs and drive around for an hour!

Please lift up prayers and good vibes for our house to sell fast and for a fast close!

Liz, I'm not sure if I have it in me to really learn golf either. Like you, flubbing up begets anxiety which begets more flubbing up! I can see where having lessons on the actual course would help as opposed to the practice range!

Nice for you to see the downward trend!
Taco Tuesday sounds perfect, now I want tacos!

Thanks for sharing the story about your former student! It would have brought tears to my eyes too! How cool to know that you made a difference in someone's life and I'm sure he is just one of many!

I like the slightly shaky feeling after a good workout. Less a fan of post workout soreness. We all have our things : )

Another incredible Prince video worth a look: The Rock n Roll Hall of Fame induction for George Harrison. A group of Musicians are playing As My Guitar Gently Weeps. Prince steps forward towards the end of the song to play his guitar solo. Even musicians like Tom Petty have a look on their face like Holy @#$+ this guy can play.

Prince starts around minute 3.25.

Greetings all

Big sun today and it is pretty calm. I drove the scenic way up to Trinidad and the gallery to take some new stuff. The view from the cliffs there is spectacular. I never get tired of it. After that I did the gym. Two days in a row!!Thanks to DD I am still listening to Prince music. This morning I watched his Super Bowl halftime show from 2007 as somewhere I heard it was the best half time show ever. Maybe in the context of the Bad Bunny stuff. Anyway the Prince clip is worth a look.

After that it was studio time. They were setting up for a kids class when I left. Quite the giggle to listen to.

Yay DD what a fabulous moment from your former student. And how cool of him to approach you to express thanks. What a gift you are to have helped someone enough with reading to be a nurse. And guess what? I bet there are loads of others who never get the chance to say it but are grateful. Yay and more yay. And BDW that menu sounds great.

Well Liz fun at golf is the idea - less fun if taken too seriously. I used to have to golf once a year for an event our law firm had. I see the fun but it is also not easy.

Pot pie tonight. DH hit the store on his way home from the dentist.

No scrabble today as one of the four is absent.

After the gym I indulged myself by driving by a house nearby that recently came on the market. The place looked kind of dark and over shaded. Curiosity satisfied.

206.5 Continued downward movement. I'll take it.

Client dog already done. I have to admit, the extra cash from trimming dogs is pretty nice these days!

Back to the gym yesterday. I'm already sore. Is it weird that I like workout soreness? I really do.

I had a moment of unadulterated glee today thinking how this retired life is really my new normal. I felt so free and unfettered.

DD, what a wonderful treat to run into a student and learn how much of a positive impact you had on his future! I'm so pleased for you. Experiences like the one you had today are the true rewards of being a teacher. You and I both know what we did wasn't about the pay!

Have to meet with the NUT therapist today and then run some melatonin over for my dad. Then I'll hit the gym.

Tonight it will be Taco Tuesday. Little effort and very satisfying!

"A hundred years from now it will not matter what my bank account was, the sort of house I lived in, or the kind of car I drove... but the world may be different because I was important in the life of a child."

Golf is okay - a bit frustrating for me because I keep thinking I should improve faster and honestly don't care enough to put in a lot of work/lessons to do so. But I like being out on the course with old or new friends. And sometimes I do okay at it. People who can just go with the flow and not get annoyed with themselves when they flub a stroke tend to enjoy it earlier on but I have a hard time just saying oh well and moving on. In other words if I make a mistake I get anxious and make several more mistakes because I am anxious. My own worst enemy.
