What a shame the storms came in so quickly that the exhibitors could not prepare. Crazy this time of year. No shows outdoors like that in Florida in the summer as that kind of storm happens so frequently.

Smoked ribs sound great but the heat not so much. Sorry they were drier than you liked. I sweat a lot when it is hot too - I had sweat dripping down my face a couple of times yesterday because we were not in the AC for several activities including the dinner dance last night. DH apparently does not sweat as much so commented on it.
Sounds like your architect has some good ideas for your Dad and Claudia and hopefully will for you too.

Being introspective about this huge change in your life is to be expected. When was the last change this huge? When you got a full-time job? I think I felt a little scared that I wouldn't know what to do with myself when I retired. The feeling certainly wore off after I got used to my new lifestyle.
At least your Dad is not angry or scared. It's good that he is in a safe place and maybe it is good that his mind is doing some traveling?

It does seem like BFF has some realization that she is overstaying since she approached DH and not you. Hopefully she responds well in the situations when you have to set boundaries, but it must be tough for you to have to broach the subject calmly. Certainly staying that long past the closing is really pushing the envelope.
We painted the bathroom a cream color with 2 walls a hydrangea blue. They are the colors I had in my other Florida home in the living room. They brighten it up from the dark gray it used to be (kind of a metal gray). I'm not sure that bathtub refinishing is great if you take lots of baths. I would think it would wear off over time. But we never take baths so it is really just to make it look better in the room. We usually just use it to hang things to dry.

We got the rain, but it didn't last long. It's was a nice break and the trees need it! We ended up moving the dinner party to my house in the a/c. Whew! My ribs were dry darn it. I think I need a new smoker...
Lol!

There was a bar on the grounds and several restaurants close by that DH and I said we would seek shelter in if needed! Though not sure the businesses close by would have the room for everyone!

You are handling things much better than I would. I also don't doubt that she purposely asked the question to DH knowing he is a softy! I agree about the closing date and moving out date. Who would think they would still not be completely moved into the new place!
