Welcome to the round up of posts you might have missed during the week..
I hope you have had a good week and are enjoying the weekend. There has been some more work on the house and it is really beginning to take shape… Ironic that we will get it looking great only to pass on to someone else lol.. Anyway that is a month or so away but I am already looking at property pages in the areas we are planning to look at seriously in the coming months. I am trying to be sensible about downsizing!!! Apart from anything else with heating oil having almost tripled in the last three months, heating a large house becomes an expensive luxury.
I am hoping that are luck with finding just the right house for us will hold, and whilst I am not looking forward to the packing up process, I am excited about finding our next home, intended to be our last. And also to finally welcome a new dog into the family, long overdue.
This week my friends William Price King, Debby Gies and Carol Taylor have given us music, sunshine and sea in Puerto Rico and wonderful recipes and I cannot thank them enough for their wonderful contributions. They are also busy on their own blogs and I hope you will head over to check them out.
William Price King joined me on The Breakfast show this week for the second part of the hits from 1996 and for the fianl part of the series about Aretha Franklin. Next Friday a new series featuring Roberta Flack… You can also find William – Blog– IMPROVISATION– William Price King on Tumblr
Debby Gies took us to San Juan on Monday and found some great funnies. It was also her birthday this week… on facebook it shows up as 107.. always a talking point as she certainly does not look her age lol..Over on her blog you can you can catch up with her posts including her Sunday book review for the compelling thriller Where There’s Doubt by Terry Tyler…. D.G. Kaye
Carol Taylor joined me on Wednesday with her recipes to include sufficient phosphorus in our diets… and as always a busy week on her own blog including her Monday Musings and the Queen’s Jubilee celebrations, Store cupboard Basics, Green Kitchen Bread Rolls and strawberry stems, Saturday Snippets all about ‘Spin’. You can find all her posts Carol Cooks2

Wow! Well done Debbie for reaching 106! 😂 😂 😂
I’m looking forward to hearing tunes by Roberta Flack as I have enjoyed Aretha Franklin.
Good luck on your move Sally, oh my!
My last move was quite tricky and I wrote a diary about it all.
Funnily enough we have been thinking about a move, not because we don’t like where we are ( we do) but perhaps more because we could do with a different place? Not three floors like we have currently.
So good luck Sally where will you go?

What a great week! And the news of the housing coming along to put up for sale and excellent news. That is what our move to Michigan was all about. Downsizing, and moving into a smaller house. I spent most of the weekend attending our neighborhood yard sale. See, I’m still downsizing. LOL! Dustin, our son from another mother, just left with a load to the GoodWill for us. It was great to meet some neighbors (after a year and a half) after Covid. Glad things are moving along for you, Sally. ❤

We’ve been out of town with our son and future daughter-in-law and had no Wi-fi, so I’m playing catch-up for the next couple of days. For situations like mine, this is when the Weekly Roundup comes in handy.
