Happy beautiful Monday from my neck of the beach! It’s a beautiful sunny day, and I saw the sunrise on my morning walk! Yesterday’s Super Bowl party was so much fun. Not only did my team win, but the food and crowd was fabulous!!! I was saving a table for my brother and sister-in-law, when a woman asked if she could sit with us. My husband got her a chair and now I have a new friend! We have plans to walk together whenever! I was invited to a private yoga class that another friend recently began. I’m going this Thursday. It’s a one minute walk to our clubhouse. And to top off the evening, many women asked about my fairy hair. One man first apologized to me regarding the Me Too movement, then told me how classy my hair looked with the “twinkles” in it and how beautiful he thinks I am. . My husband came rushing over, and the man walked away, quickly. It was a wonderful evening, but today will be awesome. I can tell already!

Your husband does what mine does when he hear someone complimenting me.

He didn’t hear it, but I told him afterwards. He only came over, because he saw the way the man was looking at me. He doesn’t mind if a man glances at me, but despises oglers. He told me I was being ogled. TWINS!

@DianneN Ogled? That's so funny. Is there a clock on looking? Anyway, what woman doesn't appreciate a bit of harmless (and I think it's usually harmless) ogling. How would your husband react react if ladies ogled him? I bet he'd smile big.

I'm glad the party was awesome. I'm happy you made a new friend you can walk with anytime, and one you can do yoga with. I didn't know you had holes in your life. I thought it was already full to the brim, but it's good you found a place for your new activities. Your husband was acting a little possessive about his beautiful wife. It's fun having admirers.

I always have room for a new friend. I skipped tennis today to walk with my friend who has cancer. She comes first. My husband has always kept an eye on me, and oh, the stories I could tell! However, he has never had cause to worry.

@DianneN I don't often see sunrises because I'm already working by the time the sun comes up. But I'm sometimes bad about not paying attention to sunsets, even though I try to make a point to catch as many beautiful sunsets as I can.

Acetate strands of silver and gold were knotted into one strand of hair. They don’t show up well in the photo, but there are over 24 of them. They fall out when I lose a hair naturally, but I haven’t lost any in the month I’ve had them. I can blow dry, flat iron, bleach, cut, shampoo, spray, etc. they are impervious to anything!

It's a blessing to see such beautiful sunrise on morning walk. And good that you captured the view to share with us. You are good at making friends. I would wait for an update for your private yoga class.

Thanks! My husband thinks I have too many friends, but there’s always room for one more. The yoga lady is the one I played pickle ball with, but she had an injury playing it in October and is receiving therapy down here. She’s extremely active, but the yoga person she saw down here left. She decided to do easier yoga to help herself with her injury, so that will be good for me, too.

@DianneN Yes. It's a blessing to have a big circle of friends. The best thing about yoga is it's flexibility. There is something for everyone to pick that suits your needs. Hope it helps you

My mother made rice for the Super Bowl. She insisted that’s how it’s supposed to be since it’s not instant rice. I told her I make it all the time and it never looks that way. Worst cook ever!
