So Much Catching Up to Do

 And I will take just some baby steps here...


  • Last week was incredibly beautiful. Sunny, temperatures in the 70's and even up to the low 80's. But it was all tinged with - we NEED rain! And there is none in sight
  • Tom still working 3 days/week throughout this month. So we could not really take advantage of the weather. One day he played golf. The other we had errands that needed to be done.
  • BUT last week for the very first time Ralph decided he wanted to walk on the beach. San Carlos Beach is a short, small beach. But he wanted to walk on it! And so we did - all 3 days of our walks down there. Now mind you, he hugged the rocks but still...it is a grand step he took!
  • This week is much cooler. In fact yesterday on Ralph's walk the wind was downright cold. So it was a short walk. And the tides were in so no beach walking because there was no beach to walk on! And of course, yesterday was the day I left my phone at home so I could not get a photo of the otter who was very very close to shore! But it was so sunny, and so clear (the best side effects of a windy day!) it was beautiful!
  • Today was sunny and beautiful too - but no wind, not quite as clear. No beach to walk on, but also no otter floating near the shore (yes, I remembered my phone today). But because of no wind we went for a longer, as in 2.25 miles, walk.
  • Valentine's Day was nice. Lovely dinner at home. A lovely pair of earrings from hubby. And the sweetest card from 3 of our grands, with a Fandango card inside - which is great because there are 2 movies coming out we want to see!
  • Today when I pick hubby up at work we are going out for our Valentine's Day dinner. He works down by the Wharf so we are going to Domenico's (just so happens, hmmmm, that I have a GC from there that he gave me last year) for happy hour!
  • We dont go out on holidays - they raise the price of food, the service is usually not as good (mainly because they are so busy) and the food generally isnt as good either. And places are just too busy and too noisy. And yes, I am making generalizations but this is our findings after many many years of marriage! So we typically go out before or after the holidays.
Hoping the next time I get on here I will catch up with the missing parts of the end of 2021!

Aging

 Why is so much about aging kept a secret? Or is it that we just dont pay attention when we are younger? I mean we all know about the wrinkl...
