Good morning ~ Nothing really to tell you about. We had lunch out, the scale is up, I have less to work with to make meals today but still think I can pull lunch together with tuna and peas on rice, eggplant tomato sauce on pasta with some form of protein, or...something else. We won't starve. I need to buy some ingredients for the three bean terrine I'm taking to the potluck on Wednesday and will do that this afternoon or tomorrow morning. Talked to our granddaughters who were in the car driving with their mom to Costco. Told the eldest that if I were there I'd borrow/steal her coat and she smiled and shook her head no. The youngest heard about Mounah's visa maybe or maybe not being approved when we send it in to the embassy in October and wondered if I have a visa. I told her I don't need one because I have a US passport but Mounah needs a visa because he does not have a US passport. I've been reading a few stories from a shifter anthology of short stories and will review that, wrote a review for a thriller set in Texas with rustlers and other bad guys, and started a historical novel about a man being shanghaied and forced to work on a ship for over two years before he could return home only to find his wife "married" to his business partner and expecting the partner's baby...not sure I want to read the rest of the book as it is also difficult to read in tiny print on my phone. Hope the NEXT book is happier!
BEVERLY: Did you find a movie to watch or book to read? You made me smile with the reunion in your living room. Does anyone know what happened to the missing cousin?
LYNN: How was the flue shot. We are set to have ours on the 20th, I think. I didn't even know the Emmy's were on. Did you watch them?

Hello friends,
It is mid afternoon here & I have just returned from a trip with one cousin to visit another cousin. Cousin that is in the hospital, suffered a fall & fell on her chin. She is bruised all over! She says that she has no idea how she fell, she says she doesn't remember much anything for the past 2 years!!! She lost her husband (who had suffered for 7 years with Parkinson's disease). Then, 4 weeks to the day, she lost her father. She was an only child, so she has had to deal with the affairs of both of the 2 men in her life. I think she was just overwhelmed. I think her brain just shut down. I asked her if maybe she had had too much to drink (I know that she enjoys a glass of wine now & again) & she said that she hadn't drank anything in months, but I am wondering if she can't remember anything, how does she know? She is in a special place in the hospital for memory care. I just pray that she regains her memory & gets better, so that she can live alone again. We stopped at the world famous "Loveless Cafe" for lunch when we left the hospital. It is almost across the street from the hospital. I had an omelet & 1 biscuit (The Loveless is famous for their homemade biscuits). I had a veggie omelet & it was very tasty.
As far as the long lost cousin is concerned, we think he still lives in the same town that he used to, which is about 2 hrs away. We think that he just doesn't want anything to do with the rest of us & we have no idea why. He was always a weird duck.
I have yet to start a new book. I have several to choose from, but just can't seem to get into it.
Cathy, I love hearing about the different dishes that you make.
Lynn, Hope the airline strike hasn't affected your travel plans.
Have a great evening & a good night's rest.

Hi Pals!!
Cathy, the flu shot was fine as was the Covid booster. My arm was a bit sore from the latter, but all went well. We both got Covid after our last cruise… very mild cases… so we want to get whatever protection we can.
Bev, I checked and the airline we are supposed to be flying on has settled the strike that was threatened. I was happy about that.
I made arrangements for us to be driven to the airport. But we still have over two weeks before we leave. I have to text my cousin to see what he wants us to bring him from the US. Hopefully, it will not be too heavy.
It is dreary today and a bit more humid. Tomorrow we expect rain, which we need.
Have a great day!!
