Peps and DD meet up today! Pictures please!
Yesterday was family time for several of us! Our gathering worked out great. DH and BIL get along well which made BIL want to stay which is quite unusual for him. Lots of good New England food and ill SIL ate more than me. She is working hard at getting her weight up. Right now her newest lung cancer treatment is working well but her back is the problem. The pain is really debilitating for her though it is osteoporosis related not cancer. Her oncologist had another MRI done recently on her back to be sure.
We had a fire in the pit after dinner - our company stayed until 8! We tried to watch TV afterwards but I crashed and fell asleep on the couch around 9. So about 9 full hours of sleep last night mostly made up for the sleeplessness of Friday night.
Today looks like a beach day though probably without any swimming because we still have rip current warnings. We may go to the music venue directly from the beach. Potentially leftovers tonight as we have quite a bit left from yesterday including 2 slices of caprese salad from farmstand tomatoes, corn from the same stand, and I have enough lobster to make lobster salad.
But first the bus leaves for breakfast at 7:30, followed by our Justice walk. Have a superlative Sunday!

Great family visit for you but no AC? That seems odd in that part of California. Though I guess it is dry heat unlike Florida where everything would get moldy with the humidity it there isn't enough airflow.

Are you planning on moving most of your furniture to Florida? Having to figure out what to do with all my stuff when I sold the Cape house last year was a royal pain though I am not sure much of it would have worked in the Florida condo. I just moved some miscellaneous pieces that had personal value to me.

Your trip is coming quickly. So exciting!
I envy you with the baby holding. I haven't been around any for a long time. The last was my great nephew who is almost 5 now.

Your theory definitely makes sense. I only went up 2 levels in dose to lose weight and then back down to maintain. Regardless it has finally freed me from "dieting" or even having to think about maintenance other than avoiding obviously dangerous things like Vienna fingers LOL.

LOL, it's in the 60s here and I am wearing a regular weight sweater! I'm having a Northern California Coast experience. I bet the family is so happy to have the two of you there!

Yikes! No shot for me! (Said in my best soup Natzi voice a la Seinfeld!)
Continuing on with the decluttering/downsizing! 2 more huge garbage bags of mostly winter clothes taken to Goodwill and a handful more items placed on FB marketplace! Sold my RugDoctor carpet cleaner in less than an hour after posting and had many people vying for it. Guess I underpriced it. Oh well!
Took a DH walk today. Need to get them in since vigorous walking will be out for quite a while post surgery. Will try to get one last kayaking day in before surgery too!
Crab legs, cheesy biscuits and salad for dinner! Yum!
Enjoy your dinner meet up DD and Peps! If I was on the other side of the state, I would join you!
Good for you Liz on being able to entertain yourself when DH is busy golfing. I would probably just sit at home!
If I were your BIL Liz, I would definitely leave my house for such a delicious New England dinner.
Like you, our sleep was fractured. There were people drag racing somewhere near our house. I kept waking up to revving engines and squealing tires and wondering why the police weren't shutting it down. Very strange, because we have a very professional police department *****sponds to complaints of dogs barking.
The morning started with a baptism for a great niece at the Cathedral in St. Paul, the seat of our archdiocese. It's really quite a beautiful church. Afterwards, brunch at my BILs house with nieces and nephews and babies. I got to hold my birthday twin niece while she slept and admire her perfect little pearl ears. And the little nephew born on Tuesday stopped by for brunch. I didn't know how they would feel about people holding their incredibly new baby, but they offered :). Auntie heaven snuggling babies all afternoon, and playing with my older great nephew and niece. And catching up with their parents. My heart is full.
I am still tying up lots of little details for my trip. I fly to Boston Thursday, August 28, and then we fly to Scotland on Friday, August 29. I feel a twinge about being away on my wedding anniversary, but DH is being very cool about it. We are rarely apart for so long, and that feels somewhat strange. We will meet up again on September 8, and then spend 2 weeks traveling in Massachusetts and New York state so it will be all good. It's a good life!
