    And here’s the one that got away. Saw it in the window of a shop in NOLA. Decided I had to have it. What could it cost? $200? So worth it!

    Went back after the shop opened and found that it was priced at $4000! To rich for me. The bull is kind of a consolation prize.

      Yeah, at first blush I like it too. It’s one of those things that you’ll question your sanity at the time in a few years.

        I have a lot of stuff like that. My kids will throw it all away soon enough.

          I prefer the bull. The monkey looks like something from NOLA that should stay in NOLA..

            Bought a mountain bike. Want to do more of that. There are a lot of trails around Tucson.

            1. Will probably land on a cactus
            2. It arrived less than a week before the first cataract surgery. Got a few miles on the Loop paved bike path.
              A mountain bike proves I am still a kid, doesn't it?

              Put my horses in boarding for the winter. A necessary splurge. 9 below with the wind howling and blowing snow sideways out there right now. Mr. Pique and I actually miss the barn chores.

                I miss my barn chores too. Somehow getting exercise doing something necessary feels better than exercise at the gym.

                  That would be a great photo array should you choose to share it with us!

                    Yes. Like it is voodoo possessed and will come to life at night. NOLA just has that vibe.

                      Our splurges are all related to moving. We left our frayed living room furniture behind and bought a leather couch and chair-that-reclines-but-doesn't-look-like-it. (Much classier than the big ole comfy 60s-style recliners. 🙂 )

                      The movers broke our adustable bed, so we got a new one.

                      Ooh--this is a big one. The house didn't have a primary bath, so we added one with some spa-style amenities--a huge whirlpool tub with physical therapy-level jets all the way down the reclined back and a bidet with a heated seat.

                        Now that's my idea of a splurge!

                          @Jodi Which reminds me, how is your back doing these days? Sounds like you’re feeling better?
