    Hi Ruth, enjoy and be safe in your FL trip. Can't wait to hear of your adventures with Beach walks and Sunsets. Re the WWW, I had always wondered who was taking the picture...like who wasn't in this week's picture thus taking the picture. Glad to know you have a helper!

    Today is National Random Acts of Kindness Day! Who knew, but here it is going to be 70 degrees, so I have already received my kindness from the weather gods.

    Yesterday Tai Chi, today yoga and pilates.

    Happy Thursday, TT

    Thinking of you Ruth, in warm Florida. Have a great time!

    Karen - Heard about all that snow coming your way. Hope you at least have a nice view in CO. Safe & Warm is definitely the way to go.

    I made it to Florida yesterday between the storms, and spent today mostly outside. For exercise I walked on the beach and swam in a beautiful pool.

    Ruth - looks very inviting. Glad you made if safely.

    Bitter cold heading my way starting tomorrow night through Thursday. Snow tomorrow night - 3-6" or something like that. The snow from last Thursday is pretty much all melted. Was gorgeous yesterday - sat outside all afternoon reading. Have to get ready for the training I'm co-facilitating on Tuesday - it's an all day training. Hoping it's sunny out this afternoon to enjoy some rays. Need to get a couple new books to read besides the one for my work book study.

    Have a great Sunday.

    Yesterday we hiked down to a beach with big limestone formations. At high tide the waves crash into the rocks and spray into the air; sometimes as high as 50 feet.

    Today I walked on the beach and we visited a nature preserve. Enjoying the lovely weather!

    Ruth- beautiful scenery. I'm watching the morning news and confused when the snow is actually arriving! They make is so confusing. But the cold, that is clear. Tomorrow is a professional development day and I meeting my co-presenter at our ad bldg at 18th and Lincoln. Thinking of taking the RTD. Shorter walk than if I park where it is free and I don't want to pay parking garage prices. Now need to check if RTD takes cash and what senior rate is. DH thinks I'm foolish. He doesn't do the bus! 😂. Need to finish planning for tomorrow.

    Everyone stay warm, safe and healthy. Have a great Monday

    Ruth - love the photos of Florida! So glad you have this opportunity.

    Karen - I would totally take the bus if I could. I hope it works out for you.

    I have cut back on my exercise because the medicine I just started causes the bottom of my feet to hurt. Resting helps my feet, though. So I take very short walks now. Yesterday I went to the gym to lift weights and pedaled a stationary bike that was easy for the bottom of my feet. I think I can do a little jumping on the rebounder. But what I should try is yoga. I also have an almost constant cough, but hopefully, I can find a few yoga moves that don't make me cough more. I'm a bit of a mess!

    We stayed on the beach after our walk this morning and watched the Space X-Starlink satellite that was launched from Cape Canaveral 80 miles away on a Falcon 9 Rocket zoom overhead.

    Ruth - Thanks for posting the lovely photos of your vacay!

    Martaj - Several years ago I spent a week in Manasota Key. Good times! Where I stayed was lovely VRBO - one block in one direction was the bay and a block in the other direction was the ocean. Yoga on Manasota Beach, fun boat trip with lots of dolphin sightings. Also made several drives to Siesta Key Beach and got great seafood at Big Water Fish Market for beach picnics. Would be fun to return.

    Bitter cold here. Zero but feels like -15F. Snowing lightly. Will continue the same through Thursday. Single digits for high temperatures.

    I think I'm ready for the professional development. I had planned to take the bus downtown but hubby thinks I'm this weather I best drive and pay the parking garage fee. Normally when I'm downtown all day I drive and park about a mile away where it is free. Not doing that today as that is a farther walk than the bus. I may still take the bus. It’s a 10 minute walk to bus and 8 minute when I get off. The unknown is the waiting.

    Ruth- awesome photos. Sounds like you are having a wonderful time. Enjoy the rest of you vacation.

    Everyone stay warm and safe.

    I did one last beach walk this morning and spent the afternoon at a lovely Botanical Garden this afternoon. We're up early for a full day of travel. Hopefully the highway will be open so I can get from the airport to my house (another 100 miles).

    GoKale, I hope you are feeling better. It’s so frustrating when you’re ready to exercise but the body doesn’t cooperate.

    Stay safe, Karen. Those temps sound brutal. Hope the PD goes well.

    Safe travels, Ruth. Your trip looked like a lot of fun.

    I am currently in Georgia for a week. Drove 17 hours with both daughters (27 and 30) and DD dog. We are staying in a beautiful Airbnb house on a lake that is 40 minutes from civilization. Temps are in 80’s; tomorrow is supposed to be a record high. Lots of reading, relaxing, walks, and hanging out together-priceless. We are here until Saturday morning; then we head back to colder temperatures.

    Another sub zero morning. It's been snowing lightly the past couple days but not much accumulation. Need to shovel the sidewalk and driveway Might do the sidewalk and top of driveway just to get some fresh air before work Yesterday I was inside and sitting all day co-facilitating a training I think I did okay, but it's exhausting

    Ruth-safe travels

    Ginger- enjoy the week Sounds lovely

    Stay warm and happy Wed

    Ruth, your trip looks like so much fun and the photos are beautiful. I am curious, did the ocean feel warm or cold to you? I was in Florida four years ago in February and I was surprised the ocean water felt slightly warm to my feet while I was beach walking. I remember as a kid the water felt so cold in February.

    Walking along the shore, the waves didn't feel cold, but where we were the ocean is too wild for swimming.....rip tides etc. I have never seen anyone swimming in this area, although sometimes there are surfers. There is a public beach with lifeguards in a nearby cove but we've never checked out. (There's a lovely pool where my friend lives if we want to swim or lounge about. )

    *Sitting in rainy Atlanta waiting to board Flight #2 of 4 flights today.

    2nd of 4 flights, yikes! That would test my patience.

    70's today, 40's tomorrow, 70's Thursday...here we go in our struggle to get to spring!

    Tai Chi at lunch today. TT

    Ruth - I'm guessing that you are finally home in ND. Thanks for sharing your trip with us. Warm S. FL weather sounds lovely right now with our below zero nights and single digit days. But by Monday we will be back to the 50s.

    My manager called me this afternoon - she asked me if I would consider working Fridays or some Fridays for a while. The float team is over stretched with vacancies and FMLA. I told her I would get back to her. I still have plenty of comp time from last summer, so I'd only do it for pay - but I don't want to increase my FTE. I will probably say yes, but DH isn't too thrilled. My manager asked if I would help with assessments or even with interviews. I said I would do interviews as they are done via zoom and I can do them from home. I haven't worked 5 days/week since 2008. If I do Fridays, I would work 1/2 days in the morning.

    Stay warm and stay safe.

    I did make it home safe and sound with no delays or problems......which is pretty much a miracle now-days! It's 16 below here this morning & I am off to Pound in a few minutes, so back to 'normal' for me.

    Karen, we teacher types have a hard time saying no!

    Well that is better Ruth...I don't live at a major hub so two flight is standard, three if I am going somewhere weird (Victoria B.C. was my last trip with that make up Nov 2019). Glad you are home safe.

    Yoga/pilates at lunch. A "lovely" 40's and cold rain here in SE Virginia. TT

    Ruth - you are so right. I will be particular what I will agree to on Fridays and only 1/2 day. I'll talk to my manager tomorrow or Monday.

    TT - Victoria BC is absolutely gorgeous.

    Stay safe and stay warm

    Ruth- yesterday I walked, red and watched Mrs.Maisel last night. We all need downtime.

    Yesterday we got above freezing for first time since Monday. The news said first time in 119 hours😂. This week will see 50s and 60s with sun beginning of week then partly cloudy. As long as there is some sun I won’t complain.

    Need to finish getting our taxes ready for the accountant today. I plan to do my online banking, a few long walks and sit outside and read. One book is for my work book study, only one long chapter and the other strictly for pleasure.

    Have a great Sunday

    I went to Pound, spent the rest of the morning running errands. This afternoon I had a dentist appointment after which I brought Bruno to the vet for his yearly checkup, shots etc. He weighs a whopping 85.9 pounds!!!!
