Thanks for the series tip! We finished Dept Q and need something new to watch.

Those burgers sound great. We rarely do burgers at home for some reason. Usually if we grill it is steak.

You are definitely practicing for Florida!

Now that I have been around my current weight for quite a while, I am finding that as long as I watch my eating "rules" most of the time, an occasional blip in eating doesn't cause any weight increase. I don't track calories at all. It's actually weird that DH is tracking WW points and I am not tracking as I used to a fanatic about things like that when watching my weight.

We knew about the lifetime pass but DH didn't have $80 on him. We will get that next year.

Good news about your Dad. Hopefully he is back home soon. And good for you figuring out those driveway lights!

So, so sorry about your friend's husband. Impending deaths and births - the circle of life.

Preparations for Europe have mostly been via making packing lists and checking that I have enough medications for the timeframe. I need to remake the bed in the other bedroom so I can start laying out clothing, etc. SIL has found a dress via Amazon that she can wear though may look at one more place today. She is going to make it to Spain but we might not do a lot of walking around.

Loved the dog pictures! Looks like they have the same mixes we have here!

I hope none of you end up really sick. That can really put a damper on your travels.

Good morning friends!

I am in Vienna. We are back from a walking tour of the old part of the city, called District 1. This afternoon we return to the same district for our tour of the Spanish Riding School. I did a little research and was intrigued to find that General George Patton is in great part responsible for salvaging the school from ruin after WWII. The school and breeding program was going to be terminated, but Patton saw to it that the US kept it going until it was self sustaining through the Austrian government.

I am refusing to let my little cold get me down. LOL! At home I might be taking it a bit easy. Not here. I'm fine to push through. We are only here for two more days after today. Then 14 hours on a plane and home we will be by Wednesday night!

Not sure I mentioned that I was a bit short on my tirzepatide for this last dose. Only about 5 units, but it is enough that I can somewhat feel the difference. I can see easing off the medication will be a slow process.

We went for an after dinner walk last night (brother and I). Beautiful civic gardens and an amphitheater with a symphony orchestra concert. Absolutely delightful.

Except he is fine to run around the yard! So it's kind of useless except for May when it's buggy. But maybe I'll use it more when the screen rolls up and it just feels like an alcove of the backyard!

The previous owners who built the house had cats, which can't be outside cats here with all the predators. So they built things like low windows next to the outdoor fountains so the cats could see them and a "cat patio" - a screened porch off the main bedroom for the cats to be outside. It has a fireplace, and TV. But it was called the cat patio on the plans and they called it that as well, so I just kept referring to it that way, even though I am not a cat person!
