Hello from Phuket. I've tried to write a proper travelogue but too difficult on my phone. Will fill in more details once I'm home after the 3rd December. Meanwhile, this where I am now. Going to take a long swim soon as I post this. Google Phi Phi islands for a glimpse of where I went snorkeling. Truly amazing. Rori Living…

I love this, and had to live it during the past few days when N was here. He arrived Thursday afternoon and departed today. I had a cold the entire time and it was mortifying to have him see me all snotty, tired and hacking up gunk. But he was so sweet and took over caring for me and Mars. Every morning we lounged over…

Greetings from smokey Colorado foothills. There is a growing wildfire about 8 miles away and a handful of other fires dotting the mountains going north of here. The smoke is awful. My eyes sting and head hurts. Thankfully, the sports nerd in me is happy staying inside watching the Olympics. Barbie: Thanks for ushering us…

Thanks for all the good thoughts. Colonoscopy is done. One small polyp found and removed. Yay! Really wasn't too bad. FYI: I followed Allie's tip of drinking prep solution over ice with a straw. Also added small amounts of Good Earth spicy tea (Thanks, Debbie for recommending this product years ago) to cut the solution…

On page 31, and reading as fast as I can to catch up. Meanwhile, I'm guzzling down glasses of colonoscopy prep solution every 15 minutes. Only 2 more glasses to go, then the fun begins. :s So, saying this because I need to hear it: We can do this! Rori Colorado Foothills hoping to be back here soon with good results from…

Unfortunately, Covid hit between…

Heather: Will hold you in my thoughts Friday. Margaret: Sympathy on your loss. Allie: Congratulations! Pip: Very belated, but sincere happy birthday. The big 65 definitely merits a bit of a fuss.
