117.2 - unchanged

DH and I had a nice lunch at the place we have revisited from our first date every year. I ate fried scallops which I have been wanting most of the summer. Ideal place to satisfy that as they were perfectly cooked. We didn't walk on the beach afterwards though because DH wasn't feeling great so we came home and he took a 2+ hour nap. Older folks LOL.

Today there is nothing on the calendar. Yay! We will likely go to the beach as the beach days here will be waning when we get back from Florida in mid-August.

Did I tell you about the local artist we found here? I saw the picture below of an installation he did at a high-end local bar and went over to his gallery the other day. Those schools of fish are sold in small groups of 7, so you can start with a small display and grow it over time. So cool - We are thinking of possibly doing a small grouping initially on one of the walls in Florida. Here is his website: https://www.fryingpangallery.com/custom

Time for a Justice walk before the air quality goes down too much. Have a terrific Tuesday!

Wow! That is a lot of driving in one day - be careful!

DSD used to do one 15 hour day from Jacksonville FL to Massachusetts during COVID but at least she didn't have more than one day in a row. I think my max during younger days was two 11-12 hour days in a row and then I was exhausted.

Nice job on your test results! The smoke arrived here full force yesterday so air quality alerts are in place here too. Makes for a pretty colored sun at night, but it isn't worth it.

The fact that you dreamed of that door in Ipswich is a little bit mind-blowing. But somewhat along those lines DH and I have often said that it felt like fate that we met on the dating site. Right away we felt a connection which became much more after we met in person.

I did add the additional bag to the reservation... but I may not bring it back so I may buy a cheapie that I can leave in Florida.

After filling the tank and getting my super high octane leaded Starbuck's, I was on I 80 headed west before 7:30 EDT! I drove 810 miles today to end up in Avoca, Iowa - roughly 40 miles from Omaha, Nebraska. Tomorrow I'm going to drive 931 miles to end up in Coalville, Utah. That will be a LONG day of driving - about 14 hours. Well worth it to be home a day earlier than planned, IMO.

Off to bed!

Greetings all

Full on sun here. Ocean is so blue as is the sky. Beautiful day. DH went to see his tech challenged friend this morning to deal with a rogue printer. So I got to control the tv and leisurely watch news. I also had homework as our accountant wanted some information (ie did I pay all my tax estimates) and other stuff. Still more to do. DH came home and the printer is terminal.

After that I went to the studio and had a lot of new stuff. I was not sure all of it would go through but it did. So I glazed some more stuff and then took finished work to the gallery along with loads of gift bags that had been ordered. Busy up there.

So last night we started a new series on netflix called "The Hunting Wives". It is a dark comedy about a bunch of rich women in Texas and all the trouble they get into. Extremely trashy but engaging.

DD your woo woo moment is interesting. We have all had those moments. Eerie and not explainable but nevertheless a real thing. Thanks for the series recommendation. Sounds fun. We also like the Gilded Age but are all caught up.

Yes Liz, another bag indeed.

Safe travels Peps. I am guessing that you were at a specialty show?

Yow Paula those plastics are coming up soon. Score on the Ben and Jerry's. Gosh you might want to wear a N95 when picking veggies. Remember the covid days when those were impossible to find?

Not much else. More pot pie tonight.

Ahoy Kirby,

Diane S

Forecasts are the air quality improved here today, and should continue to improve this week. Hope that extends to Wisconsin!

122.6. Up another smidge. I would be happy to be at 125 going into surgery the start of September.

Had fasting labs for my upcoming annual physical next week. Everything looks to be in the normal range on My Chart! Yippy!

Air quality still sucks here. It's getting old. I think I will still go work in the garden tomorrow even if it is bad. Those veggies aren't going to pick themselves!

I went grocery shopping this morning to get ingredients for Mexican shrimp ****tail (tonight's dinner) and saw Ben and Jerry's ice cream on sale for $2.99 a pint. It is usually over 6 bucks. I bought 2 in an effort to be ready for surgery (lol, that's what I tried to tell myself!). I did drink a Fairlife today which is 30 grams of protein to boost up my level!

We won't be showing our house, the couple wanted to move here ASAP and that isn't our timeline.
