Good morning.
Ron, Lou was a lovely bride and you looked so happy to have found the love of your life.
HB, thanks for the info about the ear buds. I didn't know they were so fragile. I still have ones from about ten years ago, but I only use them when I travel on an airplane. Perhaps that is why they have lasted so long.
Judith, clam chowder sounds great! But I like Manhattan clam chowder. No restaurant seems to sell this version over here. But whatever you make, I will like.
Lorita, simple travel is hard on fragile people. I can understand why Donna and Darwin are wiped out. They get exhausted plus their daily schedule gets off. I hope they recover with some rest and nourishment and getting back on their usual schedule.
Mint, I had such coworker whose husband left his job at a hospital as a respiratory tech to drive for UPS and deliver packages, because UPS paid more money.
I am preparing for another trip. This one will be up the coast of California, beginning with a stop in Solvang, the Danish town. Then on to more coastal sites.
The weather is much cooler today, only mid 60s. This is comfortable.

I’ve been up since 1am reliving memories through photos. This has been both sad and also joyful and yes tears will not stop. I miss Lou, but also when I look at some of the pictures of her last days, I know that her suffering is over and she will be waiting for me with a big smile. The picture I’m attaching is one of my favorites, if not the favorite.

Hello Porch Friends.
Lorita. Would Stormy, have gone into the tax office with you? Now days you see a lot of dogs in places. I will take Molly, into places with me as long as she is in a basket or im holding her. She tends to lift her leg on things in strange places. Sorry to hear about ants, they can be a pain. Hopefully you can get them under control
I don't pay to much attention to Jackie and Shadow right now, but my DD does and she said the time has come that they are waiting for them to hatch. She will keep me updated. I got some of those breakfast cakes yku talk about. Hostess Coffee Cakes Cinnamon Strudel, they are delicious. I will keep stocked up on those.
I hope Darwin and Donna. Survive this trip. How long do they plan on being gone? Hopefully someone is checking on you.
Mint. It's nice hearing from you, i have missed you. Sorry that job did not work out for your nephew. At least he tried, something will come along.
Carl. Thanks for the laugh about your FedEx delivery, and Iris sorry they did not get to you by mistake.
Ron. Happy 59th to you and Lou. She was a beautiful bride and you a handsome groom. Your pictures are beautiful 😍 I'm glad you were able to get out and enjoy your grandsons play.
Judith. I love clam chowder and I will also bring some crackers, see you all at 6pm.
Iris. I don't like people ganging up on me when I enter the door, but I sure wish they were around when I need them. Im looking forward to your trip along the California coast, I spent a lot of time while growing up along the California coast. If you pass through Jenner, my grandparents owned ths resort there. It called Rivers End. They sold it and retired about 60 years ago.
We get a lot of deliveries and I have no complaints about any of them. FedEx and ups are great. We get Walmart delivery a few times a week, and we are 20 miles from Walmart. The only thing I sign for is my wine.
Hugs Zetta

Much as I like soup, I'm not hungry enough to eat right now. My food came yesterday and I just ate an herbed chicken breast, potatoes with leeks, and a zucchini/corn mix. That wine sounds good, though, it's almost sundown.
Ron, I've never seen a picture that looked more like a couple who love each other, even in the movies. Thank you for sharing.
80+ degrees today with a 20 mph wind from the south for about the third consecutive day. Not surprisingly, we expect strong wind and some rain tonight, with possible hail and tornado. Welcome to April! Speaking of April, we will have a full moon tomorrow, April 1. If Lorita feels April foolish, she can title the new page something like "Just need to talk to my fiends" 😀

My end of the porch this evening. Sleep well everyone.

We made it to Charleston - long travel day.
Ron - I love that photo of you and Lou. The genuine love and warmth in that photo is beyond words.
JeriLynn - Such a gorgeous sunset.
More tomorrow, but I'm struggling to stay awake. I know it's only 7pm to my west coast brain, but we've been up since 5am, after staying up for a lot of Death Guild last night. I'm paying the piper right now. 😄
See you all in the AM.
