From Harlan Coben's book! I read some synopsis 🤐

Will check out the series when we get back from our Wonder cruise. Thanks.

Hope you are doing good.

For me doing good is waking up every day.

Thank you

Two guys from my Parkinson’s Support Group who were doing much better than I am and had more mobility passed away last week.

Hmmm...After the game I packed my Michigan shirt to wear on our cruise next week.  Hopefully, we'll be able to watch the game on board.

 

As an Ohio State fan, I'm legally required to root against Michigan. 😁 UW has embraced the fact that everyone thinks of them as underdogs (which they've been for the last 2 games).  That should work well for them again.  Still, I think this is Michigan's year.  UW coaches still better warn their players about using personal iPads. 😜

Appliances used to last a long time not any more. I’ve been told to not expect more than t10 years on major appliances. My parents refrigerator lasted over 25 years.

I purchased a Maytag washer and dryer in 1995.  Dryer is still going strong and I have never had any problems with it.  The washer started slinging oil few years ago and I replaced it with a Speed Queen.  They do not match, but it does not bother me.

Speed Queen washers are highly recommended work horse washers without much in the way of electronics. They apparently last forever. I think we may replace ours with a Speed Queen, the next time we are in the market.

California family landed in San Francisco.  
 

Meanwhile, lunch was this. 

 

These guys enjoyed cracking and eating crab.

We have a Speed Queen, it’s been around quite awhile now.  I had never heard of it but my appliance guys got it for me.  These guys are great, will fix or bring you a new appliance if it comes to that.  They won’t talk you into a new item if they think yours is still good and they are reasonable with their prices!

We also have a Speed Queen and never heard of the brand before.

Your grandchildren have great taste in their choice for lunch!  It looks yummy!

[Luckynana]

We still don't have Internet working in our Condo.  It's always been sporadic at best, but this is really getting old!  Guy comes tomorrow..last year, the service guy was here for well over an hour.  He got it working, then left.  An hour or so later, it was kaput again.  It's so frustrating;  Our association will be getting a new service provider with FiOS.

That’s the way it ended up for most of the meal.

Yes, it was pretty tasty.  That was our 4th trip to Rustic Inn Crabhouse, since we came down in December.  
 

Grandson even tried an oyster.  He slurped it down, but said one was enough.

@Luckynana. My boss has their boat docked somewhere in Naples for a couple days.   I hear it's been quite chilly, high of 49f this morning....burrr for FL.   

Hope your internet gets fixed soon😊

Yes it's sure been cool, but it beats being up North with the heat on at our house in NJ 

How are you and Eric doing?

We are doing good.   Looking forward to our trip to Ft Myers mid January then we hop on my Boss's boat for a couple days and dock at Gasparillo Island.    Have you ever been there?  Looks beautiful from what we've seen online.
