Thankful thought: Thanks for Purina Pro Plan Large Breed Puppy Formula, which seems to be working!
A political map of the world circa 1987. The Soviet Union takes up a sizable portion. A lot has happened in the last 39 years. The Berlin Wall came down. The Soviet Union collapsed. The Twin Towers fell. Technology has changed: landlines and phone booths are practically extinct, and random questions can be answered in seconds by asking Google, Siri, or Alexa. No longer do drivers keep the Thomas Guide in their cars; navigation systems will give turn-by-turn directions, and recalculate when the driver doesn't follow the directions. Some cars don't even need drivers. While many shoppers do their shopping in-person, some simply log into Amazon and have their item show up on their doorstep--sometimes within hours. I've seen pieces of the Berlin Wall. I've traveled to places that used to be behind the Iron Curtain. I've been to Ground Zero. I no longer have a house phone, and have looked up the answers to countless questions using my cell phone. I do not miss the stress...
Just saw your comment on Sew Many Ways, and you picked the same favorite meal as I did (switching out corn on the cob for artichoke!) I figured we are kindred foodie spirits! lol
ReplyDeleteCongrats on your WW success! I'm on it as well, since February 1st. I made lifetime member back in the 80's, and unfortunately gained it all back over the last 20 years.....how did that happen!?! :o) But I weighed myself this morning and I'm now at 12 pounds down! Woohoo!
Reno is adorable.....love the pics of him.
And congrats on your son's engagement! How long do you have until the wedding? If it's at least a year, one of the best gifts a friend of mine gave her daughter......she spent the year purchasing/collecting beautiful holiday decorations and gave them as a gift. What new bride has the time, inclination, or money to decorate for the different holidays, right? I thought it was genius!
