Our dogs have expensive taste too. We feed them raw (chicken, pork or ground beef) every morning and they kibble later in day.
The gyms treadmill is missing you I bet!
I like your rationale on why not to go visit the school! Makes sense! Have fun shopping. Hope you get some good close-out deals on summer stuff'
Greetings all
Another sunny day here. Operation New Garage Door is in full swing. Almost finished. DH, amazingly, has not been hovering about which is why it is almost done. Seems like we have pretty much rebuilt this whole house - new roof, siding, bathroom, floors. Whatever. So this morning I had to go back to the gallery to collect some stuff that I forgot there yesterday. Oh well. Then I went to the studio and finished up some items that were dry and made the ready for firing by sponging off the rough spots. No drama today. Quick store visit for chicken to cook for the dogs. They have expensive tastes!
Yeah our airport is only 5 minutes away. We see the planes coming in to land but they take off in the other direction so it is not noisy here. There is a coast guard base at the airport so all kinds of big military helicopters stop in. Fun. But they put in a new long term parking system which is messed up and expensive. No thanks.
DD good on you for talking to your former co worker. And good on you for not visiting. You are having too much fun. More zinnias? More summer shirts?
Liz you guys really get around! Enjoy the visit to the cape.
So I have been awol from the gym for a few days and am feeling guilty. Today was planned but excess errands got in the way. Gotta do tomorrow for sure. Meanwhile today's mission is to launder all the sofa blankets which have dog footprints on them. I really must go inspect the canyon,,,

I live close to the airport too. It's really perfect, as we can get there by two different freeways (if one is backed up, the other is available) and it takes 15-20 minutes tops. But also, the way the runways are situated, we don't get flyover noise. When we talk about hypothetical places we would move, we always evaluate access to a major airport. One of the things that appealed to us about the Tampa/St. Pete area when we were thinking about Florida.
Being retired, and add on the outstanding weather this week: every day feels like some kind of miracle. I am still giddy about being released from the obligations of work. Co-worker called me the other day to vent and ask for advice. I was able to tell her a few things I learned about particular students last year: so and so needs multiple prompts, so and so needs for you to hear him out, no matter how crazy his idea, and then he'll cooperate if he feels you listened, so and so's Mom will back you up if you call home... and i was happy to do it, but it didn't make me miss it at all. Some of the students have asked if I'll come in and visit, but I don't think I will. If I was still in the building, they would be stopping by my room, but as the year progressed, their visits would be less. That will happen this year too. Time will move on, and I'll stop being someone who they relied on, as it should be.
This morning I am going to go shopping. I don't have so many nice summer tops anymore (although my sundress collection is pretty good). If there are any still in the stores, they should be marked way down. I'll go take a look.
Not much else, except chipping away at household chores that were deferred for so long. I pretty much try to do one thing at least, and usually it involves cleaning out drawers or closets. : )

I wonder what part of the country Peps is in right now?
We got all the To Do's accomplished yesterday and enjoyed a good Oktoberfest dinner with friends at the clubhouse last night. I even got packed except for the last minute stuff though I can't find my preferred reading glasses this morning. Not unusual.
We leave at 8:30 for the airport, flying out at 10. I love having the airport only 10 minutes away. Free parking too so we can leave our car there for the 5 days. Our drive to the Cape house is a bit longer at 2 hours but at least we don't have it on both ends. The Justice walk will happen this afternoon up north. It is supposed to be sunny every day we are there with a high of only 60 today, but low 70's the other days on the Cape and 80 on Saturday when we go to Central Massachusetts for the party.
Have a throughput Thursday!

late night check in after gallery duty today, i took a new friend along because she wanted out of the house. It was not super busy but interesting people came in and kept us amused. I may have mentioned she has vision issues and cannot drive. We had fun engaging with visitors including some from the uk. Nice afternoon.
more tomorrow , later

DH loves apple cider doughnuts, well doughnuts of any kind, really lol! Sounds like you will have a busy 5 days!
Yes to Apple Cider Donuts! One perfect donut from a really good bakery.
Stinks that the buyers won't budge but not surprised. Fingers and toes doubly crossed that it will all work out.
We are only home for 5 days mostly for SIL's 75th birthday party with a side benefit of seeing all my kids that day. We will spend the rest of the time putting away all the outside stuff at the Cape house in preparation for the winter and figuring out what else to pack. Hoping to have room to pack some apples from an orchard. Hmmm... maybe we need apple cider donuts while there.

My 2 youngest never got along at all until the last few years when they reached their 30's. Time changes sibling relationships.
