changes . . .

still a little under the weather so i've been going to bed earlier and as a result, am getting up earlier.  this morning it was cold peaches and a crossword puzzle out on the pool deck with pippin as company before much of the world was moving around.  such a lovely way to finish waking up.

lunch with the hens today instead of friday since joanie hen is now leaving to paddle around alaska.  
chinese was the choice.  my fortune read: obstacles are those frightful things you see when you take your eyes off the goal.   happily the older i get, the fewer frightful things i see.

grocery shopping.  ouch, that was an expensive expedition, but when you realize i really haven't done any major food shopping in over a month, not so bad and many of the meals will provide multiple servings.  this cooking for one is an interesting proposition, especially when dinner tomorrow is going to be eggplant parmesan with plenty of cheese and homemade gravy.  slurp.  so much better with fresh mozzarella. 

kidlet wanted to show me the test colors for her nest.  it's going to rock.  since she has to be back at work tomorrow, i will be house sitting waiting for the carpet/tile cleaners.  bye bye doggie aroma.  hello cleanliness.  she's planning on renting a u-haul for the big items, the rest will be done in little hops. hippity.

her nest has such wonderful bones.  two master suites upstairs along with the laundry room and open concept downstairs.

life is good.
