Temperature fluctuations like that are difficult to deal with. Overheated one day and cold the next. Yuck!

I like seeing Kirby here too!

I put my lists on my phone, including packing lists for various trips which I keep and copy for trips of a similar length and type. DH is a paper list maker and often loses them LOL. The advantage of a list is so things aren't forgotten, but for me the disadvantage is that once I write it down it is as if my mind purges the information and I can't recall it without the list (so recreating it would be very difficult).
Good luck with that meeting. Wine afterwards may be needed.

Too bad you all have the fire smoke. We had some of that last week but I don't think it was as bad as you have now.

It was a great mini-trip and exactly the right length of time with the nice weather. That hotel really pleased us. Sitting on the lawn in the early evening, listening to music and watching young families with their children running around and rolling down the lawn was just precious.
On the thought of going through the whole house and purging stuff: That's what I had to do last year first to get it ready to sell, then for the final purging/packing. It was a bear to do and I felt like I should have been doing it on an ongoing basis 1-2 closets/cabinets at a time over the years so it would have been more manageable. But am I doing that now in Florida? No, of course not LOL.
And I had a Belgium waffle maker too! I think we bought it with some of our wedding funds in 1981. My younger daughter has it now after the house sale last year. She has nice memories of her Dad and I cooking waffles on weekend mornings or sometimes for dinner.

Popping in quickly from Ohio. Weather here has fluctuated wildly. Yesterday was well over 90 and HUMID. Today it barely hit 70, was rainy and felt chilly during parts of the day. Dog show is fine. Yesterday we did okay. Today we were hands down last place. As they say, another dog show. Naturally, I have discovered the local ice cream chain - Handel's. Naturally...
CC - sorry about your dad's health this year. Boooo. Not sure when you changed your avi to Kirby, but I like it!
Block Island looks like a wonderful destination!
Tsunami vs Tornado... Hmmm.... Hard pass on both for me.
We used walking sticks in grad school. Did studies on them! They really increase your workout! More similar to cross country skiing with the arm movements!
Sorry there has to be so much drama over what seems like a reasonable solution. Yes, don't forget to buy the wine!
DSD is lucky to have your artistic eye creating a wedding album for her! Back in 1987 when I got married, you had a limited amount of photos to choose from, and hoped for a couple of great ones. Now there are so many images I can imagine it's overwhelming to narrow it down.
Greetings all
Overcast but it is not smoke. Just the usual haze. We do get smoke here in the summer and there is a significant fire northeast of here. Not a danger to us but not good.
So today I have more errands and have made a list that I have already misplaced. Geez if my head was not attached. Once I find or recreate said list I will run these errands and then go to the studio. There is a meeting there at 4;30 that I must attend as a board member. It will be the glass members *****ing because we are going to take away some of their space to use for clay members. There have been quite a few high drama texts and emails going around, some of which are selfish and juvenile so I am not looking forward to this. Wine purchase was one thing on my list...
So Liz that Block Island place looks so great. I love those older wooden buildings. So classy. On to your next trip!
CC sorry your Dad is having issues. Maybe Mayo is what he needs. They are pretty great. Meanwhile enjoy the architect stuff. For your darker room there are these things called solar tubes. Essentially a round skylight but they are unobtrusive and much cheaper to install. My scrabble friend just put two in her house and they are a nice light source but without glare or intensity. A thought.
DD I did not realize you were getting Canada smoke too. Not nice. I hope it is not enough to avoid the outdoors. Yeah walking is problematic. My advice is to walk outdoors as long as you can and not worry about speed or distance. Last I checked it is not a race. Enjoy the music tonight. Anybody use walking sticks? I have considered them though it may be another thing to trip myself on. Treadmill is good for now.
So yesterday I spent about 40 minutes on the phone with tech support for the Cal Tax department for gallery stuff. It was astonishing how much time this person could waste and manage to be no help at all. Problem still only partially solved. I am too old for the digital world.
Maybe steak tonight.
