    good morning.

    Not much to report here in Indiana other than the weather is just crazy. Still haven't gotten in the pool. It's too cold and rainy. I had a sweatshirt on all day Sunday!

    Make it a marvelous day!

    Good Morning,

    Skip it will get better in about 17 years when social security kicks in, you should not be so young.

    Good morning.

    It could be worse, Skip. You could have a new hvac problem every day that you've got to deal with. That's pretty much my day every day.

    Good morning BBB friends.

    Have to get the grandkids up and off to school.

    Yeah, Skip, Groundhog Day.

    Morning gang

    Our Drive though the bighorn national park was lovely. Stopped at a brewery in Ten Sleep. Didn't make it back to Sheridan before the shops closed so we will do that this morning. There is an open house at a artist ranch we plan to visit today too. Then to Billings MT. We need to do a little shopping and I found a hyatt hotel for very reasonable points so unless we are just making really good time will stay there tonight.

    OMG is food expensive in the US. We have spent more in the last 2 weeks than in the first 4 months of the year. Lots of that was in restaurants but geez I was not prepared. Yesterday we had a French dip with fries and a side order of a baked potato...$40. Going to have to up that budget for the next 3 months. Having a kitchen will help but groceries are pricy too.

    Many moose sightings yesterday and lots of wildflowers.

    Good morning BBB Friends.

    • I think my schedule is back to normal.
    • I started the day with my Emmaus Reunion group.
    • The Groundhog Day reference threw me. I was thinking February 2nd. I had to research alternate meanings, and I think I get it.
    • Dave is getting a reminder of what it is like to have little kids again. A task reserved for the young for a reason. Although I am sure they make the house in Tumwater come alive.
    • So, Steph is telling us food is cheaper in other parts of the world. I could teach her how to eat cheaply with the McDonalds app but that probably wouldn't sit well with her.
    • Hoping Joanne's Dr. appointments go well.

    Good evening

    Everything is expensive here anyway, Steph. Even housewares, lawn n garden and plants...meat is so pricey, find your beans 😄.... Aldi has been good for us lately. They stepped up on organics on fresh meat, dairy, and prices are lower than elsewhere.

    Dh is at like 208 working days until his retirement. Im hoping he works pt somewhere for a heathcare supplemental, finds a hobby... I hear Costco has amazing benefits even for pt. They start pt at $20/hr. A friend working pt there is out on short term disabil for prostate cancer, removal surgery this week, says they've been great, health insurance coverage is better than what he had in his ft career job prior to last yr retirement and has a cheaper out of pocket premium. Says they are good to their employees…

    Tomorrow is already Wed. Woohoo, and warming to 85F for a day. I'll have my Joe and morning work day start on my laptop, at the patio!

    Good luck Skip!

    Safe travels Steph!

    Good nite sleep tight
