Just watched it.

Yikes!

Exactly.

I see the charm of the little one, but she can make the one she bought awesome, and so much more room! That one has the same pickled oak cabinetry in the kitchen we had when we moved into our Washington state house, we completely redid it. I love that the house she bought has tall ceilings, and all the space in the basement is awesome. And that yard! And baseball fields behind, so much better for kids.

Have avoided seeing that movie. There is an idiot with the nuclear codes in the White House as you know.

It’s actually good. Was not happy with the “ending” The person in the White House in the movie is not an idiot (though you wonder at first). It basically shows the same 15 or so ish minutes from multiple different viewpoints, so you find things out as you go along. It kept my interest, and I watched it all without skipping ahead (which is what I do quite frequently when things get stupid or too drawn out). But it did freak me out more than usual. ( We are all doomed. )

Have any of you watched that new netflix movie? A House of Dynamite. Jesus.

Would be nice. But I’m not holding my breath.

Great photos!

I was just thinking about them the other day. That’s was so awful,

Darn Tough’s are close to $25 a pair. (But they are worth it because you can get another pair for free when/if they wear out.

How excellent. And Doug -

The beauty of darn toughs is that they are guaranteed for life. If you wear a pair out, you take them where they sell them and get a new pair for free. Wear my socks out in the heel - and so far I’ve only exchanged one pair. (They are not cheap.) they have lots of adorable designs.

Better the last couple of days. Now I just feel like I have a “regular” cold, lol. Two days of absolute miserable, two days of bad on either side of that. Steve has hand surgery on Thursday for his Dupuytren’s contracture, so he’s out of commission for doing most things. So far he hasn’t caught covid, so we are hopeful. Ever since my back issues (when he had to do everything for 4 months) he’s been doing half the cooking and most of the grocery shopping which has been really nice. Now it’s my turn to do it all again, so I’m glad I’m getting better!

In the winter I wear darn tough. Best socks ever. Multiple weights and sizes and they keep my feet warm. I’m the summer I wear whatever cotton mens ankle height socks I can find at Walmart. We don’t have many choices for clothing here. I wear a 10.5 - 11 shoe and women’s socks never fit me.

Sounds good. I wouldn’t reinstall it either!

Bernard, one of my gallery mates got hers a couple of weeks ago - early - because she had heard it was going around. She was right!

I agree. It was a good monologue.

What are you going to do with the sliding door? Are you going to put a deck back up? I like the color scheme.

Wow, Steve. Glad you took it down.

Your descriptions made me laugh, Amanda! We are in Butte, Montana. We’ve been here since 2018, and just the thought of moving again raises my blood pressure! We moved (and bought and sold houses) 4 times from 2012 - 2018, the last two were from Montana to Northern Maine and back. Steve has driven the largest U-Haul van with an auto transport trailer in almost all of our moves, driving multiple trips with various vehicles, and I did have to scout ahead via google earth from home for him to figure out which motels had parking that he could safely pull in and out of (with the Uhaul circus ) without having to back up (because backing up is impossible)! Then I would call and make a reservation for him for the night. I think those last two moves took 6 driving days (5 nights in motels).

And yes, Steve was patient 0 (or one of 4 patient 0’s) in Montana in March of 2020. He was much sicker than I was that first time, and that was compounded massively by the unknown/fear factor. We self quarantined in our house for a month, with friends dropping off groceries and toilet paper on our front porch. I caught it again in the fall of 2023 (before I got my booster) and now, but not last year (I got my booster in time) - I don’t know what I was thinking this year, but have had so many things going on lately that i just couldn’t find the time, BIG mistake! Because I remember 2023 covid feeling like I was much sicker than in 2020. Same this time. Yuck.

Amazing that you didn’t have a reaction to the shingles vaccine - that one was pretty awful for me, especially the second time since I knew what was coming!

Every time I put the shopping carts back at the grocery store I think of having to push 7 at a time in from the parking lot at Costco and breaking down into tears the first day. And sadly, my back has given up on me, too many years of riding really bouncy horses has taken its toll. Almost 2 years of lower and upper back pain, multiple MRI’s, epidural steroids, several specialists (neurosurgeon and orthopedic surgeon) with the ortho surgeon saying surgery is likely going to cause more problems than it solves. Luckily moving (walking) helps, so I can still do stuff - sitting upright is what brings on the pain. Makes it difficult to do anything at a desk or the kitchen table for very long. And the only thing I manage on horseback currently is walking, which means I rarely ride anymore.

️ Should have gotten my vaccine late summer instead of waiting til fall. It has flattened me - fever and cough and truly feel like death warmed over. Didn’t catch it last year. But got it bad the year before. This sucks.
