That looks really inviting Liz! And that lobster roll is huge! Enjoy your hike.

I woke up around 7:30am but have been lollygagging about, enjoying the view and reading while I waited for DH to wake up. Enjoying the dolce far niente: Italian for sweetness of doing nothing. The tide is out this morning and it changes the landscape so much! I believe I read that the tide changes more dramatically the farther up north you are.

I think it will be coolish today, and a bit overcast. We will probably poke around shops a bit, and then who knows what. Tomorrow we have concert tickets for an Irish music trio.

This town is SO much quieter than summer when we visited before. Pretty much just us retired types in the resturants and coffee shops. It will be interesting to see if it picks up tomorrow or Friday. It's always been quiet at night, there aren't really any bars or places to hang out after 9pm, but generally bustling in the day.

When I woke up this morning to a water view, in a comfy bed with DH sleeping next to me on a September morning, I had to pinch myself. Is this real life? yes it is. : )

Darn garage!

DS called me yesterday about the Apple event because I was commenting that my iPad is slowing down a lot (it is 6 years old). He said in about a month I should be able to buy the generation one lower for less money. Oops - I just checked and that announcement did not include the iPad which isn't supposed to be upgraded until spring 2026. Hmmm...Since I use my iPad in place of a laptop I don't want it to get too far out of date and drive me crazy.

It's my neck and lower face starting to bother me too - it's been almost 9 years since I had it done.

I wouldn't travel for pleasure or very far away so soon after surgery. We have already decided that my health takes precedence and if there are any concerns DH will go solo and FaceTime me. The plan is to only go for 5 days and thankfully it is a direct flight.

Greetings all

Rain has stopped but it is cloudy. All good. I started the game with scrabble and won one but lost two, including the Shark. I see to be getting worse. But I was gifted a bag of home grown graventstein apples which are perfect. I took some to the studio for the hungry artists. Got some glazing done and I am now enjoying an apple with peanut butter.

Welcome back to USA DD. Sounds like you have more fun coming. Agree with Peps and Liz - niceness comes back to you if you treat people kindly. More people need to learn this. Sometimes I think people in foreign countries are surprised if Americans are un-ugly.

Lobster rolls!! What a treat. Eat one for me. I don't understand why we have crab here but no lobster.

Yay new furniture Liz. Always nice. Glad you are through the funeral which must have been hard. Seems like Catholic funerals are big on family participation but whatever works. And glad Mike had a nice birthday. Good pic.

Yeah CC yoo hoo!

Peps I agree it is sweet to hear your dad excited about the phone and that he seems content. So cute that he had a hot date. Congrats on all the show wins! you really cleaned house at that show.

We binge watched the rest of Wednesday last night. Pretty good. DH was in 7th heaven today as Apple had its new product event. But so far he does not want a new iPhone. Good thing becuase the new garage door and opener will be 3K. Poop.

The final frontier of quiche tonight.
