Greetings all

Big sun today. I am sitting here air drying my hair. Plenty of chores to be done but first on the list is to go to the gym and walk. Somehow if it is not 1or 2 on the list it does not get done. So first it is. DH did the romeo lunch today and brought home burger and fries so dinner is decided. Gallery banking to be done but I think I will wait since I work there again tomorrow afternoon. I may have mentioned that our treasurer's son had an aneurism, stroke and fell and broke his leg badly so she is absent for awhile and we will need to cover for her.

We had frozen gluten free burritos last night. Pretty good. I did not realize they were gluten free when I bought them. I think the tortilla (or tortilla-like thing) was made from rice flour but hard to tell.

And thanks for sharing Elise' birthday with us Liz. A mixed day for you. My lost young one was my 17 year old nephew. His birthday was Christmas so that day is a mixed bag. Nice to see your son's friend went on to have a good life. Facebook is indeed great for that purpose. Amazing what comes up. However I just got a friend request from someone that I know is deceased. Clean up needed Facebook.

Anyway, enjoy the SIL birthday Liz.

DD you are so lucky to have Bff around as someone who goes way back in your history. Very grounding. Sounds like she has not always had an easy life so she is lucky to have you and vice versa.

Yoo Peps and CC? Where are you all?

Sending house vibes Paula.

Time to face the treadmill.

Happy birthday to Elise, and to you, because a newborn Mom was born on this date too.

It's a funny thing this long term grief. BFFs oldest son left us when he was 13. He would be 39 now. We talk about him a lot, and laugh, but sometimes the grief sideswipes me, so i can't even imagine how it would be if it were my child. When our nephew , his younger brother got married a couple of years ago, I cried and cried thinking about how his brother wouldn't be there to be the best man. It caught me by surprise, because I thought the tears for him were all spent, but evidently not.

I did find some nice tops yesterday, and 2 pairs of crop pants in colors I already own. But why would I buy them? Because the current ones are looking shabby, but they go with so many things I already own. Happy to have nice replacements for them from Ann Taylor Loft at a very good price.

It was 90 yesterday! DH and I went to the beach counter service place at one of the big lskes in Minnesota. I am a cheap date, DH ordered a meal, and I had him add on beans and rice for me for $2.50. They have a lovely plaza where you can watch the sun set and the sailboats come in.

Today we are going to have a picnic at another beach. BFF has a rare day off, so we will meet her there. Could be 90 also today! I'm loving it. Next week will be more in line with average temps. That will be okay too.

Pretty close to the East coast! Be safe driving!

Yeah, houses always seem to need something done. The Cape house I sold last year had had everything redone on the exterior and the floors, furnace and AC done inside. Next up was contemplating replacement of 2 bathrooms and the kitchen cabinets. I just didn't have the energy for it.

I am sure that expensive parking for our little airport will be coming but for now it is free. And an Uber back and forth is pretty cheap as an alternative. DS is 10 minutes from his airport and just uses Uber.

So very sad to lose both parents so young!
