Greetings all

The sun finally popped out and it is breezy. Got up kind of early by my standards. i have been eating avocado toast the past couple of days - must be the so cal influence. Whatever. Kind of done with it. So I got back to the studio and did my walk. Added a tiny incline and also did the stairs. My weak and sore legs are not going to improve unless I pu**** After that I spent some time at the studio. The glass room is under renovation and looks good. New doors on the place that open outwards to allow for more stuff inside. One door sort of crashes into my door but oh well. Got some things done.

Liz your beach day sounds fun. Kids at the ocean are always a hoot. It is so interesting how people who grow up in tough cir****tances end up being the best parents. Hoping your DD surgery goes well. Years ago my friend did that and after a couple of days she said she felt better than she had in 10 years. Fingers crossed.

DD we will think of you crossing the pond. So much to do and see. Pictures please.

Peps you really are the road warrior. That is a lot. And no road trip is complete without a detour or other snafu. Glad you are home safe.

Nice paddle photo Paula. Wishing you the best on home plans. An adventure to be sure. Ditto surgery.

So our football team plays tonight and I invited studio buddy and will make chili. Three nights dinner solved. Better get started.

Stairs and an incline on the treadmill! You go girl!

Chili! I may need it soon!

121.9, down a smidge.

Bible study group brunch today went well. Almost everyone attending brought me a bouquet of flowers. Super sweet but our house looks like someone died! Have not seen so many flowers since Ben died! The Bible study is an out branch of our garden ministry so it makes sense that they all thought to bring something pretty from nature! Maybe I'll gather them all up and post a pic on TT! I did combine 2 of the bouquets into one of the vases!

Hello Fresh meals continue to be good. Had chicken Schwarma lettuce wraps, chicken enchiladas and braised beef stew this week. All tasty! I especially like their Schwarma!

FB marketplace selling continues. Both DH and I are posting things!

Why the flowers? Because they love you in the group but you are leaving? What a tribute.

I actually want to do Hello Fresh once we are in Florida but it seemed very gung-ho until I backed off now no deals...

I hosted a brunch at our house today and I just got finished leading the last several months of a Bible study. I think the flowers were part hostess gift, part thank you for leading our Bible study, part we are going to miss you when gone!
