Here are some pics for you bisky! I mentioned that our north shore is rocky because it is the sound not the ocean. In this picture someone was driving a car that goes in water. I’ve never seen one before and thought it was unique. The land you can see in this picture is Connecticut. Some days it is visible and other days it is not. It takes about 1.5 hours to get across the sound to CT by ferry. Later in the week we have a trip planned to one of our south shore beaches. I will share pictures after I go so you can see how different our shores are.

These are the interactive touch screens, some of the signs in the center and a sea robin that was in the outside tank. I’ve seen one of these swim by last time I was in the water and never knew what it was.

We also discovered a lot of painted rocks placed around for memorials.

More dog chaos! It was smoky outside yesterday evening, but the dogs needed to burn off some energy, so Joe decided to drive a loop around the property in our utility vehicle. I guess the dogs had too much energy and they love the RTV too much so they went crazy. They were at each other and barely out of the gate when Ruby fell badly and wrenched her leg. She started yelping right away. Then after the dust settled, we noticed Radar bleeding from his tail. Both dogs are doing okay today. Radar is licking at his wound and we are keeping an eye on it. Ruby is actually doing much better than we thought. At first we were worried she would need surgery but she is getting around good already, just a little sore when getting up and down.
The smoke was supposed to clear by today but it is still hanging around. Fingers crossed that it clears because all of us need to get out of this house! Thankful to have AC and an air filtration system.
Yesterday was a good food day but I only got in one of my walks on the TM. Today I have a planned dinner out with a friend, so my food won't be ideal but I am keeping all of my other food on point and ordering carefully at the restaurant.

I missed some posts!
@JNettie73 awesome pics! sounds like a great day filled with fun discoveries!
@bisky Congrats to Brooks!! Just a bit of random coughing, nothing noteworthy if not for our weirdo dog
I will use a print on demand service for whatever I decide to make. They handle all of it and there's no minimum purchase.1 -

Nanc, your kitchen plans sound good. There's never enough room for all the gadgets and "stuff" we have is there?
Bisky, glad to hear you are feeling better now. Yay for Brooks!
JNettie, awesome pics! Thanks for sharing.
Carla, yikes that was my first thought was oh no, another surgery for Ruby. Glad to hear she's doing better now and hope that Rader is on the mend.
This is a quick hi. Was in the office until almost 6:00 then made a quick grocery run. Need to eat something light because it's so late. Probably half a pita with some hummus and lettuce.

No, I have not made beans yet.
today's plan
coffee
oats and stuff
left over rice/tofu/veg stir fry
refried bean tacos
apple and pb2
veggies and Bitchin sauce snacks
laundry day...LULU walk/treadmill/pool day...fun day!
finally have a kitchen with some room...used the hall closets for pantry...can't use the garage cuz of the summer heat...gives me so much space in the kitchen...easy to pull out stuff, wash and put away...kitchen is CLEAN this very minute. Until it's remodeled, this is the best it will be. Goal is to move washer/dryer, which is currently in the kitchen, into the garage and use that space as a pantry.
Life is better, ORGANZIED!
Making life deeeeeeeeeee licious.
Work situation...thinking nothing is going to change...oh well. It did look promising there for a minute.
Later, mates!
August Treadmill Stats: 17 out of 21 days0 -
I bet it feels so good having your kitchen all set up and organized, Nanc! Too bad about your work schedule not changing the way you hoped. Nice TM stats!
Radar is at the animal hospital due to the cut on his tail. We think he'll need stitches. Ruby is getting around okay but she is more sore than usual. We're going to give her a few more days and see how she's doing.
Now for the good news: the smoke has cleared! We are all ready to be able to walk around outside again.

I've decided to start having my smoothie at 10 a.m. instead of waiting to eat until 11. While I'm struggling to get back on track, I've noticed that waiting too long makes bad decisions more likely!

Radar was sedated to have his tail shaved for a closer look at the wound. It is too big to be left to heal so they need clean it and then sedate him again tomorrow to stitch it up. Our regular vet is closed for the week and Radar needs to the surgery tomorrow, so we have to pay extra to have it done at the hospital. $2,000. And he can't stay there overnight tonight so we have to drive back out to Bellingham to pick him up and then drop him off again tomorrow morning.1

Oh, Carla... what a mess. Poor Radar. Good heavens, try to do something fun and nice for the dogs and look what happens. Give them both a hug from me.
Nanc, yay for having everything all organized.
Another late day in the office then ran a couple errands. Going to eat a little something and go to bed early.
I haven't been posting my meals because they have been totally random lately. Mostly smoothies and oats, canned baked beans with ezekiel toast, salads, hummus and veggie pitas.

Yesterday we took a drive to the end of the island- Montauk. We climbed to the top of the light house, walked all around town and played in the ocean. I found an area with purple sand, the pictures don’t do it justice. It was a fantastic day!
Here are some of my favorite pictures from yesterday. The picture of my daughter says it all!
