Morning all!

Going to run to the store in a bit to get a few things, then to UPS to ship the spare key and title to E's car. I forgot to bring it yesterday.

Then maybe a few things to the dumpster.

Have a good day!!

Good afternoon Penny and Debbie.

I can't believe we're 6 weeks into the year and I haven't even thought about how I'll be spending my vacation dollars this year. I'll take my annual trip to see a Vegas Golden Knights game, but other than that I don't know what I'll do.

Hi there! Rough night and morning, but I'm doing well now.It's a beautiful day so I stood on the deck and got some vitamin D.

Hello everyone! More writing, some laundry, and chocolate pretzel-making are on today's to-do list!

Hey everybody! I tried to log on earlier but got the “oops we’re sorry this page is unavailable” status.

So, I walked 2.5 miles around the neighborhood.

Now it’s time to trim the crepe Myrtle tree. I have detailed instructions from the nursery but I’m still nervous. I don’t want to mess up. Trees are alot of $$$

Good afternoon all. Took mom to the kidney doctor, the bank, and the drugstore yesterday.
Put air in her car's left front tire today and checked her oil tank.
Just taking care of mom.

Happy Valentine's Day everybody.

That IS unusual for you, Larry!

Bill, may I recommend some Vitamin-Sea to assist you in your recovery?

It's Girl Scout Cookie season again. They have a table set up outside the supermarket, I bought a box of Thin Mints and a box of Lemonades, shortbread cookies with lemon icing.

That's beautiful, Rabz! Are you on your vacation?

Larry - there was a table JUST getting set up when I went to the store today...

We got back a few days ago.

The image is from the beach just outside our buré on Likuri Island in Fiji.

Gorgeous pic, Rabz.

Sigh.... vitamin sea. All the water here is frozen.

All the water here has evaporated. I guess when you live near a desert this can happen. I would prefer living nearer to a dessert though...

And we have very low water levels here, due to lack of snow..

But you can never appreciate shoveling snow for an hour to get out of the driveway.

I just lost power. I looked out back and the entire neighborhood was completely dark. Then about 10-15 seconds later everything came back on. I had to reboot the cable box on the TV and reset my clock radio and the clocks on the microwave and the stove. I've never had a "power failure" like that before.

Any idea why that power outage happened, Larry?
