Hectic day in Budapest! Last day tours... PACKING! We have to leave at Oh dark thirty... Actually not too bad... 6:30 am is when we leave the boat to drive to the airport. Departure time is 9:30 am. Arrive in San Francisco at 4:45 pm. Isn't it nice? Just shy of 7 hours to get home.... LOL! But, I do feel like I get the day back that I lost flying to Europe.
See y'all on the other side.
Safe travels Liz.
BTW - no big hullabaloo about the US/Iran/Israel "conflict" over in this part of the world. As best I can tell, most of Europe views us as uncouth, self important, and historically illiterate. They don't care too much either way about the tourists as long as we're spending our dollars here.
125 on the dot again! Calories were even a bit low yesterday (and I felt hungry before bed but didn't eat).
Spotty rain today. We did go to the botanical gardens and the roses were in bloom. Lilies will be up next. Our lilies at home are just starting to open up. So pretty! Rain in the forecast for the next week. Yuck! Thankfully it doesn't rain all day most of the days.
Asian lettuce pork wraps for dinner tonight. Easy, healthy dinner.
Safe travels Peps and Liz! Those lobsters looked incredible Liz!

I did! I halved this recipe: https://www.wholekitchensink.com/how-to-make-easy-homemade-t zatziki-sauce/#tasty-recipes-13796-jump-target
It would be nice if Kirby did when it's hot, because he doesn't like the heat...
116.8 - a new low since achieving goal almost a year ago. What's up with that? No rhyme or reason why it dropped that I can figure out. We had great lobster and stuffed quahogs (aka clams) last night. Picture below.
Yesterday i got a lot of miscellaneous packing done and we went to the beach for all of an hour. Way too HOT!
Today I have my Medicare wellness visit with the NP, then we might try a beach on the other side (ocean vs bay) to see if there is more of a breeze. Not for a long time though as we are meeting friends for dinner about an hour or so from here.
Tomorrow Peps is flying home and I leave for Madrid on a 10:30 pm flight. Funny that it is on the same day. I hate flying overnight but there is really no choice when flying to Europe. I just do not sleep well on planes.
No Justice walk for me, though DH will take him. He needs one badly. He was such a nudge last night. Up, down, up, down. And eating grass outside. Something tells me that he got into something he shouldn't have on his ventures yesterday. Have a total Tuesday!

Those meatballs look yummy! Did you make tzatziki sauce too?
Now that Kirby has taken the first step (literally), maybe he will try going fully in (or maybe not)? Justice didn't used to like even getting his feet wet on the beach but now he likes walking at low tide and going through the puddles. No way would he go any deeper though.

I cannot do exploding aliens LOL. Congratulations on getting rid of the gallery deposits. One less thing on your plate.
Yes, SIL did find a dress. From Amazon!

Beautiful day here. And Kirby got his feet in the pool! So brave. Only took 2 years. Ha!
Other than that, lazy day here. I made some good greek turkey meatballs. Very easy. Why don't I make meatballs more often? https://cocinainspiradora.com/savory-greek-turkey-meatballs- a-flavorful-delight/
I reupped my PBS Passport subscription and have been binging Masterpiece shows. Patience, All Creatures Great and Small, Magpie Murders, Marlow Murder Club... Hoping to find some other good ones I missed.
Not much else for now. Take care!
Greetings all
It is foggy today. The sunny weather was too good to last though I don't mind fog. It is cooling. Whatever. The new gallery treasurer called and wants to take over doing the gallery deposits so she can reconcile the cash better. Fine with me but I don't think she realizes how much she is taking on - gotta go pick stuff up all the time and take it to the bank. So I spent the morning making a big package of stuff she will need. After that it was payroll, some studio time and then trip to the gallery to take new stuff there.
Crud Liz. Blisters! No fun. Hope it clears up. Sore feet spoil everything. Did your SIL ever find a dress for this trip?
Boo we hate to see the Peps chronicles coming to an end. What a great trip. Safe travels.
Paula the pool party sounds fun. Kind of a 60's thing but very much a good time. I don't know why people don't do that more often as it is a great family thing. Around here there are few outdoor pools. It is just too cold.
We had the quiche last night. It gets an A for easy. Enough for two more nights.
I am gonna have to take the dogs to the groomers. They are scruffy and sort of stinky. Peps I know you are cringing from he thought of me having these dogs clipped but it just has to be done. Maybe just the older one?
We started a new series called The Waterfront. It is okay but kind of dopey. It was advertised as being like Ozark but it is not that good. But better than exploding aliens.

You are in fantastic shape which will serve you well for an active retirement. No surprise you needed a good nap though with everything you have been doing. Are most of the excursions you have been taking included in your cruise or have you purchased quite a few additional ones?
