124.8 lbs this morning. Weighing below 125 weirds me out and gives me permission to eat something unusual and tasty--however that combo presents itself.
I'm soaking in the bathtub right now--no workers in the house on a Saturday! I'm sipping half an ounce of excellent bourbon, which is permissible in Kentucky any time of the day. Tonight's plan is to grill a steak and add a baked potato and green peas. Simple but lovely.
Paula, I know you're probably involved in post-nuptial events, but we look forward to a full debrief--either here or on TT. You really did look gorgeous and so very fit in your wedding dress. You and your hard work deserve all the kudos you've received!
Thanks to all for your appreciation of and outrage for our painting traumas. However, eventually this too shall end.
It's another gorgeous spring day here. Such a wet spring has made for great grass and world class blooms. We did have thunderstorms and tornado warnings last night. The grand dog who spent 3 hours with us whimpered and trembled terribly in bed with us--storms and thunder are one of his phobias.
That's all the news fit to print!

Already on the plane route to North Carolina. Will keep you posted re: the pup. Pictures on TT as soon as possible.
118.2
Paula looked beautiful in the dress she wore to the wedding. Can't wait to see more pictures.
My son's cousin (via his birth family) had her second child yesterday morning. Alton joins his sister Violet. DS has been very close to her since they met when they were both 14. They look enough alike to be twins.
DH and I had a relatively lazy day yesterday other than the Justice walk and yoga. After that we hung out on the beach in the shade (well we did take a beach walk so I guess that counts as activity sort of). Last night we went to Happy Hour at the main club, then had dinner at the Beach Club. Yummy mussels for dinner. So funny that they are always on menus as appetizers but I still can't eat them all.
This morning there is the requisite walk (early these days to beat the heat), then water aerobics. DH needs to try on the suit he ordered so the pants can be hemmed and I am picking up my dresses for the 2 weddings this year. They were supposed to be done a week ago but the seamstress needed extra time. We are relieved that both are done in time for our trip back north in 8 days. We did not have time to have the alterations done there (and didn't know where to go in DH's town). Oh and I have to buff the last painted furniture piece and put the starfish knobs on so that project is complete.
Have a stupendous Saturday!

Our yoga instructor was telling us today that she received a call that she had won $2.5 million and just needed to wire $55,000 to receive it. She asked the guy if he thought she was an idiot and he kept trying to convince her it wasn't a scam until she hung up. You have to be so careful these days and double-check everything for validity. So much for being able to be naive.

I found them - maybe I shall order him a pair! He agonizes over choosing clothing. Me not so much LOL. BTW, he wore a size large (vs XL) linen shirt I had bought him last night and it looked great.

Greetings all
Lots of chatter today! Love it. I am luxuriating at home controlling the tv while DH is on safari to Romeo lunch, Target and Costco. Incoming shrimp later in the day. Meanwhile I plan to hit the gym and bank and another nursery for the elusive sweet peas.
Paula thinking of you and wedding festivities. Hope it all goes well and I bet it does. Fun and memories.
Yes Ann I too would be super annoyed about the incorrect paint and finishes. This stuff matters because you live with it every day!! Many years ago I had a decorator who bolloxed orders and sent over the wrong counter top finishes. So annoying. Wishing you better luck for the rest of the remodel. But lucky you on the lift button on the car. My car has no such feature and I wi**** did. Major convenience.
Poppy is not feeling well. She just stands and acts weird. I think it is a gut issue. Seems a little better than last nigh****ching closely.
Liz that restaurant sounds great. You guys know how to find the fun. Meanwhile I googled hot dog and wine pairings. There are such things. But that menu does not look anything like ballpark food. Looks good.
Yay Peps on normal sized shirts. Also on new pic.
Yeah the calla lillies are weeds. I did not plant them. They often grow in ditches etc. We have some lovely weed plants around here but also some frightful ones. Himalayan blackberries grow everywhere around here and they will completely take over a lot if allowed. They are relentless and have horrid stickers. The berries can be eaten but you are scratched badly if you try to pick. Nasty.
Ocean Diane interesting about your on line friend. Ann is right - caution is good. So much information out there. A few years ago I got an email from a friend I had not heard from in awhile. Kind of odd. I responded. Then she told me she was in Dubai for an oil company shareholder meeting and had her purse stolen and could I wire her $1300! Fat chance. I did contact the actual friend. Anyway, proceed with caution. Good on you for doing homework.
Time to get out and about. Sweet peas await.
