Greetings all

The day started cloudy but there is full sun now. No blimps. I managed to drag myself to the gym and did my walking. Not fun but I lived. Listened to some music cuts I had not heard before of Aretha songs. After that it was studio time. Things are pretty dull there. I need to figure out some new projects. The new glass studio still sits there....

Glad you centered your pictures Liz. I look at decorating stuff on Facebook and often the art work is not hung correctly. Your home is really a showplace. And yeah do the SIL birthday party.

And wishing you luck Paula on the home front. Somehow stuff will come together. Yikes on the golf club fees. I had no idea. No thanks.

Peps how is Blitz?

CC still missing you.

DH brought home fish and chips from his lunch at a sports bar. He said it actually was a pretty good place to eat. Something we never would have gone to but for his Romeo lunch.

Our team plays tomorrow. This will be a tough one.

Are you required to have a golf membership in that community? We have a club membership here but it is not required and a fair number of the people who live here do not have one. Most of the golf club memberships around here are pretty similar in price.

Quiet day yesterday. I tweaked the furniture and moved the pictures over the couch so they are centered. I only went out to walk Justice and food shop. I bought a rotisserie chicken, pulled all the meat off, and mixed it with a can of Rotel tomatoes and cumin. Great dinner!

Today I have yoga and Justice needs blood work done prior to his annual teeth cleaning next week. Maybe it will be sunny enough to go to the Beach Club or the pool here. Likely I will go to Happy Hour tonight and probably eat 1/2 burger at the club (and save the other half for another meal). I only have 3 more nights before DH arrives to figure food out for.

Speaking of which, other than DH staying with the grandchildren this week, it turns out there is no real reason for him not to be here in Florida with me as he has not felt good about his golf game so doesn't plan to play until he is back here. He was originally only coming for a few days next week, then going back north until 10/7 (I was going north for SIL's birthday from 10/4-10/7). Due to logistics around the birthday party and his not playing golf we may just both fly back 10/2-10/7, so we will be doing the rest of the traveling together.

It has felt very important to celebrate SIL's 75th birthday with her after seeing her so ill this year. I hate to think it but it somewhat reminds me of how critical DS felt it was to have a birthday party for his Dad in his last fall. Somehow we all felt it might be his last.

Time to get in gear for the morning walk. Have a finicky Friday!

When I have had furniture delivered without that designation they unpack it and put it in place but no white gloves on puffing and smoothing everything. Was kind of funny until it got annoying. Came with the purchase (from Pottery Barn).

That Ninja Creami sounds great! I am going to pass the info onto DSD who was very intrigued when I told her what you had said about them when you bought it.

I am pretty sure one of them was letting all the swears out while they were in the stairwell (it was in a different language so I can't be sure). He was super irritated at several points. I gave him a great review because they worked really hard and everything got here properly. But he did show his annoyance pretty obviously so I wonder if doing these "white glove" deliveries is appropriate for him.
