Sounds like there will be spring fever in your area today too!
Helping our neighbors is a reminder that we will need help as we age too. Everything that used to be easy stops being that way. They can't tolerate the winters but the travel is a challenge. They are going to have their daughter get in touch. We can work with her on arrangements for the dog, but also on the best way to get them here and back next year without the confusion of this year. Maybe the daughter books transport of the dialysis machine and dog in the same car by a driver. And we pick them up at the airport on this end (arrange it with the daughter so they don't have to think about it, just get driven to the airport by their daughter and we are at the airport here when they arrive).
After writing the last paragraph I remembered the last year my former MIL went to Florida. She was independent for years, first driving her car herself back and forth to Florida, then having the car transported and flying alone. However in that last season she was feeling very unsure of herself so I flew down with her and rented a car. At the end of the season her son flew down and brought her back on the plane.

How kind of you to help the neighbors out with their plane booking fiasco and for taking care of their pooch and finding a way for him to get north too!
124.6, back down a bit and I was still eating Mexican leftovers yesterday so not sure if Mexican food is to blame!
Our bus leaves around 10:00 for church. Today is supposed to be sunny and warmish (lower 60's). Plan is to grill out hamburgers for dinner and perhaps fire pit and/or hot tub!
I might take a walk outside as well! DH will be golfing!
Happy Sunday!
120.2 - still holding onto that Mexican weight gain apparently.
Usual Saturday for us for most of the day yesterday even though it was with heavy off and on showers which were not supposed to arrive until today. We ate lunch out then went to our favorite place for outdoor music. Luckily we were under an overhang so didn't get wet.
A short while after we got home our neighbors from downstairs arrived at our door in a panic. They couldn't find the flight they booked for this morning to check in and ended up on the phone with someone asking them to pay another $1000 for tickets - they don't cost that much for this flight. We think they called a number that doesn't really exist for the airline by googling and got a scam artist. Luckily we cut that off. This couple is in their 80's. The husband is in somewhat poor health undergoing dialysis every few days. The wife has seemed very overwhelmed by everything this year. We took them to the airport early this morning and found out that they did in fact have tickets, but the airline refused to take their dog (6 pounds overweight). Because of the dialysis the husband had to get north (his machine has already been transported), so we send the couple on their way and have their dog, a sweet King Cavalier spaniel. Now we need to find transportation for him back north. What a crazy situation! Justice is not sure what to think about his new company.
In the meantime, since it is Sunday, the "bus" leaves shortly for breakfast.
As a Star Wars fan would say: May the 4th be with you!

It's weird that weight fluctuations like that. Definitely sounds like Mexican food is a culprit.

Sounds like spring fever is in play!

125.4, Like Liz I too gained more than a pound in a day. Good thing I'm on the low end of my range so it isn't too anxiety producing!
Our Dos de Mayo party was fun last night. Great group of people and the food was yummy! We have one couple that moved to Austin MN, but the husband still works one week a month here and they have one kid graduating from a private college in Green Bay and 2 others going to school in Milwaukee so they ovarian get together with the old crew!
I'm busy printing more photo art to mat so I can take to my first summer art show in Door County mid May.
Church tomorrow morning and then DH is going to golf 9 with a friend in the afternoon. I'll either take a walk outside or work on photos some more. Maybe both!
Greetings all
Oops missed yesterday. I had gallery duty on sort of short notice but it was fine. The little town looks great and a decent amount of people came in including about 10 in the last five minutes for several hundred dollars worth of sales. I kept having to be the ear model for ladies looking for gift earrings who went through many pair. All good. DH brought home a tuna sandwich from lunch so dinner was set.
So Derby day Ann. Glad you get to do a party and dress up. I wondered about those giant hats - seems like an obstruction. Enjoy the day even if you do have to drink bourbon (my first drunk experience and the stuff gags me to this day). GL on continued remodeling.
Yay CC for the rugs. That does indeed look like the perfect thing for yacky dogs. Pic looks great. But the assembly looks like a whole body jig saw puzzle. No wonder you are sore.
Yeah Liz there is always one in every class who can do everything. Kind of why I don't do classes of anything physical. Glad you are enjoying it.
Congrats on 10 years Ocean Diane. You are doing so well! GL with dating. There are nice people out there. Our 80 year old widowed friend found someone really nice who is also 80.
Plans today are minimal. Gotta hit the gym and then maybe studio time. I am eagerly observing my giant climbing rose bu**** has loads of buds and one or two blooms but soon it will be intense. All the flowering shrubs - azaleas and rhododendrons and cherry trees and dogwoods and other unidentified stuff is blooming big time. It is great.
Autopilot DD. Well that works. Bequeath your pencil sharpener and other goodies!!! Theatre sounds great as always. Soon you will be partying like it's 1999. Remember that new years eve? I stayed home and did nothing while DH was on duty at the hospital where he worked in IT. Nothing happened.
Ditto Peps! 1999.
