    Pip - Looks wonderful! 🤩

    I've booked the hotel for a night. Because I've been a few times, I got 12% off the best rate. Can cancel up until the last minute.

    I think I will get an off peak ticket in advance from Hove Station. It leaves me more flexibility than an Advance ticket, but it won't break the bank because I have a Senior Railcard. I can do that next Tuesday when we pick up Bea.

    Sent off a couple of emails this morning. Now for some rowing. I'm still watching the French series, Family Business, with French subtitles. It's totally crazy, but great fun. My slang is improving no end!

    There is a Medicare ad on TV featuring "Martha" that is hysterical. Martha is a peach.

    In the past, I just logged in and clicked on my yellow star (the booked marked page -- just this one) and it took me immediately here. There are more clicks now to get here, and I agree that there's too much white space, but as Barbie said, we will eventually adjust and it will just be normal, but for now, it's very disorienting.

    Beautiful pictures, Pip. You captured the grandeur of the canyon. It looks like you are having a wonderful time.

    Karen – Thanks for the suggestion regarding Uber. The distance from here to the airport is long.  We may have a neighbor who will take us to the airport.  We will need to ask.  We took a drive out to the airport vicinity yesterday and had a look at some options.  We were not pleased due to high costs for parking our car while we are away. It seemed very expensive.  We’re taking one step at a time.  It is not fun at this point.   :ohwell: We are scheduled to fly to VA on November 19, and will likely return home in December.  Our son and his family live in Williamsburg. :star:

    Allie – I hope things go well for you at the transplant center.  :heart:

    SueBDew – I’m glad to see you here again.  Sending good thoughts your way.   :flowerforyou: 

    Flea – We are planning to fly out of PDX on November 19. We looked into shuttles yesterday while we were out in the vicinity and are trying to figure things out.  A shuttle from here to the airport would be very pricey. Parking at the airport is also pricey. We may be gone for more than a month.  Some neighbors recently returned from a trip.  Perhaps they well have good suggestions. Contacting the airport about the garage is a very good idea.  Thank you.  We are crossing our fingers that a neighbor will drive us to the airport and pick us up when we return.  It is a LOT to ask.  :flowerforyou:

    I sent a suggestion to MFP to tone down the white space. Maybe if others suggest it, they will change it.

    I hope the people who run MFP are able to fix the mess. This site, and particularly this group, has been wonderful.

    In the meantime I have adjusted the brightness setting on my laptop. I always run it in nighttime mode too to cut down on the brightness. Ideally I would turn it off in the morning, but then I would have one more thing to remember. Since I am working on simplifying my life I just keep it in nighttime mode, so it is kinder to my eyes and my memory space. LOL

    Oye! Who did some housecleaning, and moved everything! You all look weird.😁

    Today is my middle sons 27th birthday. Hoping to talk to him today.👍

    Today's feast is chicken soup, with some brie blobs in the bottom.💖👍

    Interesting. Just posted a random pic. Its of my paternal grandmother (far right with hair parted down middle). The stately man far left is Mr Meir, (from Meir & Frank stores). She worked for the family for many years. This is their summer home a retreat at the gorge area. Its still a retreat hotel.👍

    Kim - so sorry. An awful worry because of someone's carelessness. ♥️

    Vicki - It must be awful to have such family troubles. Sending (((hugs))).

    I will try to send a message about the white space. I have eye protection on the screen, but still have to turn the brightness right down. Had to turn it up to watch my French series. Grrrrrr!

    Kim - SO glad Levi's OK, for both your sakes.

    Love, Lisa

    Kim ~ So sorry what you had to go through with Levi and hoping he recovers quickly. That would have scared me senseless.

    Vicky ~ Sorry to hear about your son-in-law. It must have been a shock for you. Hope you are feeling better today.

    Rebecca ~ Your grandmother looked like a very pretty woman and had such a sweet face.

    Went back to get my eyes checked and the dr. agreed that I probably won't have to get glasses as my cataract surgery went so well. Glad to hear that.

    The white page does not bother me at all but it may be because I do all my reading/typing on my desktop PC.

    DH absolutely LOVES rich fruit Christmas cake. Last year I suggested he make it. I don’t eat it for calorific reasons.

    This morning he did his normal fruit and veg shop. This afternoon he walked down to the big supermarket and bought most of the stuff for the cake. Very heavy! It's over a mile away. What a great husband I have. ❤

    afternoon ladies

    Kim- thank goodness sweet Levi is still here... poor little guy, how careless of someone to let a poor pup get a hold of something like that.

    Vicki- very sorry to hear about your son-in law.. its sad when family relations are strained like that..

    I did take a much needed nap today and feel a bit better.. but am sort of ticked about this MFP that I cant get to the community page on my phone as that is how I mostly chat with you all.. is there a phone number to contact them with like a good old customer service number like the old days? im guessing not.. but sure would like to figure it out,,

    I am hoping Dans car will be ready tomorrow so that he will be ready for the weekend.. not much else interesting went on today,
