    Allie – that was so nice of your Tracy’s boss to do for her

    Evie – I used to scroll all the way to the bottom of the page for my bookmark, too. But then barbie said she clicked on the picture of her in the upper right hand corner and there is a link there for you bookmarks. I tried it, and it works!

    RV Rita – so very sorry for your losses. Try to be good to yourself. I do hope the MD can help you

    Had bowling and then actually had time for a walk around the block before dinner and then ceramics. Pinocchio is done and ready to be fired.

    Anne DE – welcome back

    Nothing more to report

    Oye, power outages here! Its on now after being off 4 hours. I have dishwasher going and clothes washer going! Husband took me out for warm food. Ended up getting shrimp fried rice. Ate all the shrimp out, and about 1/2 cup of rice. Son can have the leftover rice if he wants to eat it. He gets home at 12 or 1 am. I leave him notes in the fridge like "Eat This" or "this is mine"!

    Gaaah! So there's flooding in Mt Vernon where my bus leaves from to go to the train station. Now there's a semi truck leaned over from high winds on Deception Pass bridge, so that's closed down. Ok we might just have to take a ferry over then go to the train station directly. We'll have to keep the emergency info app up and see if they clear the wreck off the bridge. 😪😪

    I think she is meaning to transition.

    She does need your support, Allie. I know it is difficult and maybe disappointing, but she needs her family more than anything right now.

    The spoiler option is even easier!

    Instead of typing
    your words
    you just click on the paragraph icon and choose spoiler. Then it comes up as a grey box and you type in it.

    (Spoiler)

    That's the way I did it before. It seems to be in the exact same place.

    I realized as I continued to read that things had changed between your post and my reply. That's what happens when you stay away for 4 or 5 days!

    I can't say I'm a fan of all the white or some of the other changes, but the changes are not so egregious that I will quit reading or posting. I no longer read or post in one forum in which I was once a regular participant because they changed it so much that I couldn't (or wouldn't take the time to) figure out how to navigate. This is supposed to be fun - not labor intensive!

    Michele - I could only ever where a shirt once when working in a restaurant. That smell sticks!

    Tracey in Edmonton

    I haven't worked in a restaurant since 1991 (it was not my thing!) but yes, I had to wash my tops, at least, every night. Seems to me I might have had 2 of them.

    On the other hand, I worked in a bulk food store and my top smelled of spices ... really nice! :)

    Cold morning, here! I had to run the trash bin to the street and when I came around the side of the house and the house light hit the can, the frost on it sparkled like it was covered with the finest shimmery glitter. lol I will take that as a sign that today is going to be a great day; because how else could you take it when your trash is sparkly?!
    Suebdew- This is grandson #3 on his way! Woo- hoo!
    Heather- Interesting article! I will get a review posted (for your book) today.
    Sending hugs and healing thoughts to all who need them (Rita, Tracey, Flea, Julie, Lisa, Allie, et al)! <3

    Oh, last night I watched Free Solo on Disney Plus. It has been in my queue for quite a while and I was finally in the "mood" to watch it. It is really, REALLY good! It is about Alex Honnold's climbing career and his efforts to climb El Cap without ropes. It is a Nat Geo film, so you might be able to find it on other sites. Really very interesting, if you are so inclined.

    The Footpath ... where all the gravel has gone. :) We want to do an extension off to the left and wrapping around the house as well, but the main front footpath part is done.
