Teeny tiny printing on forms really annoys me. Were they all designed by people on their 20's?

I would definitely bypass the gift shops too but the costumes and cars would interest me. DH went to Memphis once for business - he thought it was more divey than Nashville. He stayed at the Peabody and said that he thought that was in the center of things and that area would be typical.

You are so lucky to have long-term friends like that!

PS - it's SNOWING. After being in the mid-80s for a bit last week and forecast to be in the low 80s next weekend. Weird weather year.
Greetings all
It's sunny but windy here. Ok by me. I did my walking at the gym, picked up eye drops for next weeks cataract thing and then went to the studio. Made a few new things but was not especially inspired. After that I had to do this ridiculous business personal property tax form for the studio. The print is so tiny it is truly illegible. I copied last years form with additions for recent acquisitions. So stupid.
Hey yesterday must have been national eat pastries day. I ate one at the studio from a box that someone brought. Fortunately the place is not like a teachers lounge so that does not happen often. More likely is that people bring fruit from their home trees.
CC those steak bites look great!! It is enough to make me actually set foot inside Costco. I love those aisles where they have all the prepared stuff. Good options.
DD enjoy the rest of Memphis. Yeah to be 80 and traveling the world is a great goal. Glad you did Graceland. Fun.
Peps I was reading about visceral fat and that is the kind that you want to be rid of as it is most harmful. So it is good you lost some of that.
Paula be grateful that you still have those long time friends. It matters. Enjoy.
DH brought home a turkey wrap so that is dinner tonight. Have some hamburger that must be cooked so the dogs get lucky,

I saw both TT posts briefly: Bonnie's and yours. I had the same reaction to Bonnie's supposed post - seemed very odd.

Looks good! I'm an Heinz 51 sauce person and I bet these little bites would taste good with some of it.
Liz, impressive job with the router. It seems you and CC have the fix it skills. I feel like my whole life could have moved up another level if only I had learned to build shelves. I guess its not too late.
Thanks for the Snow White review Peps. It got such crazy press I had intended to view it, just to see for myself what all the hubbub was about.
Paula, I can see why you miss your friends. There is such comfort in the presence of people who know everything about you: the good, the bad, the ugly. No need for pretense, just authenticity.
Today was Graceland. I ran out of steam before DH, and sat on a shady bench, enjoying the heat while he got his fill. It's a very American phenomenon I think. I can't think of any hero, a president, a pope, a saint, an artist that generates this level of fascination. I could take it or leave it, but some parts are interesting. I liked looking at all his stage costumes the most, especially from the 1968 Special. The cars and airplanes, not so much. And the gift shops! There are multiple themed gift shops. I bypassed them all, but DH cannot resist a souvenir magnet.
Not sure what we will do this evening, as the threatening storms are here. Last night we did get back to Beale Street and listened to Earl the Pearl, a Beale Street legend. Amazing. In between sets we chatted with a couple from London, and then another couple from Hawaii. The people from Hawaii said they'd been traveling for the last 20 years, and that they were in their mid 80s. They were quite vibrant and interesting. My Mom at 83 has been without functional mobility for several years now. Some has been bad luck such as cancer, some, not great choices. I can't know what's coming my way, but I am going to try my best to be in my mid 80s, listening to incredible blues bands in somewhat divey bars.

Tasty Costco find. Little individual packs of cooked steak bites for 20g of protein each. I'm very sensitive to mystery chunks in cooked meats and this all seems good quality and tender. Lightly seasoned. I'll be getting these again! Expiration date is in 24 days from yesterday, so it's not something I have to speed through.
