Good morning everyone

Isn't it funny how we all have favorite coffee cups? I have two favs....one is plain white and has a cat drawing on it (given to me by an old friend ages ago), and the other I bought in Cape May on vacation one year....it's mostly turquoise and has a beach/sailing theme that always reminds me of that favorite vacation spot.
I've been awake since about 7:30, when one of Scoote's employees decided to text with a stupid question....grrrrrr. Actually I needed to be up by 8 anyway since it's a work day for me, but somehow losing that last 20 minutes or so of sleep is extra annoying.
Glad to see you posting again Jake, and don't worry....we all know how it feels to need to step back and regroup a bit.

We're just glad you're back.
Sooooo.....I went a little overboard at BJ's yesterday, and probably shouldn't be allowed to go shopping there without Scoote. She's the voice of reason that says "did you bring the coupons?" and "do you really think you'll use 12 boxes of lasagna noodles?"

Let's just say that our cupboards and fridge are stocked....and we've got a 20lb turkey for 4 people.

Anyone want to come for dinner?
In other news, I'm figuring out more about this house everyday, which is great. I figured out the sprinkler system programming yesterday (hurray...first step was to hunt around the outside and find the box), and that my electric hedge trimmer works on dead palm fronds.

Now we have just a few more mystery light switches to go and I think we'll have the place under control.
Off to fill up that coffee cup...and get to work.
Hope you all have a happy "day before Thanksgiving"

....and

to my

sweetie
