123.4 - up some more which is freaking me out. I didn't think I ate all that much yesterday.

We drove DS to his airport hotel in Orlando yesterday and he is on the plane right now ready to fly back to freezing Portland ME. His first task is to retrieve his car from where it was towed. He paid some guy at his apt complex to clean his car and move it if it snowed. The guy called and said that though he had cleaned the car he hadn't moved it yet when the plows came (he said they came early), so the car was towed away.

Still cold this morning - DH is playing golf at 9 and it will still be in the 40s at that point. He doesn't have those stretchy golf pants but may have to wear a regular pair. He has kept insisting that pants aren't needed for golf in Florida, but this year they are! Though it will warm up a little bit each day through Saturday it is still going to be quite nippy, then it falls even lower potentially to the 20s on Sunday early morning. Seems like a lot more cold here than normal years.

I am staying in today other than a brisk Justice walk. No water aerobics for me! Tonight I have a dinner/fashion show for the Ladies Tennis Tournament being played here this week. DH and I are volunteering at it tomorrow afternoon and Saturday afternoon. Hoping for sun and no wind... If any of you follow tennis, here is the website for it. It has been a big deal to sponsor it here: https://vbito.com/

Have a windy Wednesday!

Yes, Justice is coming. This will be his (and our) third time going for an extended stay. The ferry to Key West gets in around noon I think and leaves at 6. It is close to a 4 hour ride each way so a very long ferry ride for a short stay. Also, it often can be a very rough ride I have heard though my SILs took it to visit with us for a few days in March 2022 and had good rides each way.

I saw the pizza on FB! We have done pizza on the stove that way in Aruba. The crust is definitely more crunchy that way. We have also used a really outdoor grill to cook frozen pizza.

Good luck finding that bracelet! Everytime I try to hide something I always forget where I put it (and for many things I don't intentionally hide). I would have to put a note in my phone to have any chance of retrieving it ;)

Are you taking Justice to the Keys Liz? We have never visited there. I know there is a boat trip there from Fort Myers. Too much to do for a day trip?

Brrrrrrr! It is chilly here! No real outdoor activities today. We did make some food to support a homeless ministry our church partners with. I brought 2 huge pans of brownies and 6 pounds of cooked frozen mixed veggies! Then we went out to eat! The irony of that! For the cost we could have fed many more people! Oh well, we still did good even if we splurged on ourselves!

We also checked out a flea market/antique shop place that has lots of booths with different vendors. We will check out another one tomorrow. I'm thinking I might try to sell my photography at one of them. I won't do the high end stuff (that also costs me a pretty penny) but rather things like photo cards and smaller framed or matted prints. Things I can print on my home photo printer!

Tomorrow I also have a consult with an oral surgeon for an extraction and eventual implant. Dang expensive dental work. A friend of mine was just telling me that many menopausal woman have dental problems. I never realized there was a correlation between lack of estrogen and dental problems. Yay! More to look forward to!

Sounds idyllic! Though I'm with the locals - I'd have sat inside too! But then I remember you're probably still thawing out...

Such an industrious husband you have! Glad you were able to salvage the dinner!

Your trip reports both here and FB have been delightful. Thank you for sharing with us!

How did the soup turn out?

Wow! Gold is worth that much now! Perhaps I should sell a thick necklace I got in the 80's and never wear!
