I fell off the wagon about posting here, other than the GFS notifications. My big news is that we're finally moving to New Orleans at the end of the year. We'll be living in the French Quarter. There's lots of work to be done for the move, but I'm excited about it!

Mom hasn't been eating right. Cooking for 1 sucks. Trying to do it while easily fatigued & using a walker means she's mostly been reaching for sweets.
While visiting, I've been cooking & freezing meals to be microwaved. She requested a tuna pot pie. We ate half for supper.

I've been making bracelets for my sis inlaw to sell at the bar she works at in Milwaukee. All proceeds will go to the toy drive she hosts each year.

Little Itty Bitty Pretty Mini Guinea Ginny was adopted into a home with a small herd of peegs and a huge habitat. It's exactly what Ginny needs, but it was still hard saying goodbye.

The event is tonight, IRL in Chicago, and free. This new incarnation is as much about socializing as the show. Don't be afraid to arrive late or leave early. I was late getting the PR out on this one, but it will be the 2nd Monday of the month, going forward, if you want to mark your calendars.
