Ppup, Love your garden!!! For the shoes, it probably has something to do with the angle to take a selfie. Dry skin also tends to make it worse. I am size 4.5, so for most shoes, especially pumps, I do not even get a chance to wear unless special order. Boots or some shoes with straps can actually stay on. Let us know how you feel after wearing them for some time.

Madam! what a tease! what is the new pink color for 2017? is this a SO? Do tell!! :smile:

Genie, a hot lady you are!!

Scarf! welcome back! It is the third time I heard dishwasher caused leaking and flooding in the kitchen just in 2017! A dishwasher made in 1990 may last two decades but the fancy ones made today probably can be broken by an one year old in no time. We have a GE monogram with lots of little round buttons for functions control. If anyone(happens to be the toddlers) by chance pressed two buttons at the same time, the dishwasher then refuses to run. Next thing I know, DH has to disassemble that machine and resets the electronic system on the control panel. He does it so often that the time to complete the task improved from one hour to current 5 minutes or so. If not for the "matching" mindset of DH for all appliances in the kitchen, I would have trashed that thing two years ago!

Tomorrow I am going to see Wonder Woman with half a dozen girls!! I heard it was a well made movie. Prior to that movie we are going to a ramen place. I am not that into ramen frankly but I will go with the flow. Hope the movie is good enough that I dont fall into sleep in the lazy boy theatre chairs. :smile:

Have a great weekend everyone!!!

Hi, Cremel! The new pink is called Rose Poupre. It has more of a purple undertone than Rose Extreme, which looks like coral in the store's lighting.

Oh Miami!!! Love it! Are you staying in South Beach? We love it there! Last time we were there it was 3 years ago and I miss going back! We flew with Virgin Atlantic and it was really good. Stayed in the Ritz Carlton in South Beach. I highly recommend. If you want more art deco style, there are loads art deco hotels there too. Will you be driving around too? OMG so much to do there! I am so jealous!

Hi xiang that sounds wonderful I love Deco buildings.
Thank you for the tips!
Looking forward to checking them out.

The Hermes and other stores in the Miami Design District is of course a must. There's a new art museum. And there are antique shows. Good for you to get this holiday!!!!! Miami is such nice change of scenery from where ever you are coming from!

Hi eagle, I thought about the Design district, just got to get my map reading up to scratch to navigate!
DH will enjoy the art museum!
Thank you for the tips!

Ooooo Miami-- such a wonderful city- so international...almost feels like it isn't a part of the USA. South Beach, specifically, Ocean Drive, is gorgeous, as are the sights/restaurants on Espanola Way. I'd be remiss if I didn't mention the Miami H, which has excellent customer service and is one of the USA H flagships. And Palm Beach is nearby, which is one of the country's historic enclaves of beauty and great shops.

Hi hermezzy thank you for the recommendations!
Really looking forward to seeing the sights.
Ocean Drive sounds so exotic!
Need to get a map and work out where everywhere is in relation to each other.
Don't want to miss anything.
:hugs:

Moma and Capri, good luck with your projects! Moma, DH was happy to follow the first roofer up on the roof of our two story house, "to get a better look". I was cringing because he was wearing his clunky, tippy gardening clogs, and I was hoping he wasn't going to fall off! I'm staying on terra firma throughout the process, thank you very much! We've gotten two roofing quotes so far, and the second was 3x that of the first. Second seems to be the "Hermes" quality roof! We'll see what quote three brings, but with this item we're looking for functional, not fancy, as it's actually pretty hard to see our roof. Scoping out roofing, painting, and windows all at once, and hopefully we can move forward soon. But apparently everyone else in the county has decided they need a new roof now, too!

Hey etoile thank you, you too!
I hope quote 3 is promising for you.
Your DH sounds like he will be onto anything that needs sorting with this project!
Always good to not have to rely on whatever the contractor's say.
:hugs:

There are many art deco hotels on Ocean Drive which can be very busy! If you look at Collins Avenue it's more spacious and quieter but just 2 blocks away. The Delano is very swanky if you like that sort of thing. The pool side in Delano is fabulous but we haven't been for a few years now so don't know if things have changed. We are members of Ritz Carlton so we are partial to it but do explore other options and be prepared for being spolit for options!
Design district is a must visit these days but when we went there years ago, they were just starting to build it out.
Our trip might have to be put on hold as we are planning for something else. Oh well that's life.

Definitely have breakfast/coffee at News Cafe one morning, I used to be in Miami often for work and wouldn't stay in fancy hotels but I was always walking distance to Ocean Drive and would love to sit at News and people watch while having Huevos Rancheros. Actually all of South Beach is amazing for people watching.

I'm not sure if dive bars are anyone's style but The Deuce on 14th Street is a mostly locals spot and it's a nice respite from $25+ cocktails at all the hotels although it was made famous by all the tattoo shows in Miami and may not be so cool anymore. I haven't been in a few years. Fair warning, it's the antithesis of the Ritz or the Delano!

No, XX, but DD and I just binged watched the most recent season of Fargo and are scratching our heads as well at the last episode.

Oho, we have Fargo on the box but haven't watched it. Met a friend last week who were much further down with Twin Peaks The Return and he said he wasn't anywhere clearer about what was going on compared to 1st episode! Lol!

My DH loves mysterious, bizarre, surreal series and movies. Me, I get impatient and annoyed: Either the writers are being lazy and not trying to make any sense, or the writing is so deep that my feeble mind cannot cope. Neither of these possibilities does anything for my mood. :p
Is anyone out in Cafe-land a reader of short stories? There's another form that I admire and avoid. The collected stories of, say, John Updike were enough to convince me that I am entirely too stupid to be left on my own for more than an hour at a time. :(

Hahaha! I generally don't do surrealism either. I have read short stories before but I won't go out of my ways to read them.
Riviera started and I have only watched the 1st episode. Putting the storyline aside, the settings looked fantastic! So many familiar places! I can just look at the scenaries and not even worry about the story line. Lol!

I am a big fan of short stories! It is a form you admire and avoid??
The only collection I didn't like in recent years was Olive Kitteridge. I know it was award winning, but it just didn't resonate with me at all.
Have you ever heard selected shorts on NPR? It is one of my favorite programs and comes on my local station at the perfect time for me, late night on Sunday when everyone else is finally sleeping! Then my night owl self comes out to listen to the radio, clean up the chaotic house and chat on tpf :)
