Good morning Kathy -I am getting used to going without potatoes hard at first but no trouble now.
One of the most painful things, hope your electrolyte works quickly.

I am glad you’ve adjusted to the potato-free diet Thank you re: drinking the electrolyte replenisher. So far so good this morning. I usually drink some throughout the day and intended to have some last evening about an hour before bedtime but forgot to do so.

Hi ice
I had to google fennel. I dont think we have it here. We eat a lot of yams and sweet potatoes which i like but kind of miss potatoes too. My DH used to bake them almost every night with our meals……not anymore.

I just visited HI and see the camera swaying some, guess the wind is a bit more over the water.

Good morning friends….Another blustery day with more high winds to come, plus the gloom and doom newspaper I have mentioned before is now telling us that we could be in for 4 months of snow and gales after the record breaking summer. Can’t wait .lol

Good morning ice, sounds like lots of fun with your weather. UGH! We had lots of wind yesterday and last night it was pretty wild. So calm this morning barely a leaf blowing and so mild, like a summer day. I will enjoy since in a couple mornings it is going to be much cooler. Should be sunny though and that warms up the morning quickly. I do not like your winter weather predictions, seems they love to scare people sometimes
