Of all the movies that I thought that I would watch again, This Is Where I Leave You was not one of them.
Looking for something easy going, we chose this movie, thinking that maybe it looked familiar? Indeed it was. Early on it was apparent that this was not a first viewing, but we still watched it through to the end.
It served its purpose. Easy to watch at the end of a tiring day, a simple if predictable story, and funny. 🍿

Day : Whole, suggested by @val
I’m always grateful for the whole bean coffee that I buy from Sterling Coffee Roasters in Portland. I’ve made sure to write to them to let them know. Here is their always available, general blend - Blendo Stupendo.
I find that it is easy to take for granted the many conveniences that we have these days, until we don’t have them. The power went out this morning around 7:00am and didn’t come back on again until 3:00pm. I’ve no idea why. Pretty much everything went down with it, including our ability to make calls as the cell signal is already weak and we rely on WiFi calling.
Gratitude for all that we have, and those who keep the services running.

Day 6: Engineering, suggested by @ridwan
For all the advancements in digital technology, I am fascinated by the precision engineering that goes into analog clocks and watches. This photo is the back of a clock hanging in my mother’s apartment.
Three egrets fly home in formation. Home to roost before another day of foraging.
The first dry, windless day for weeks. Couple that with it being a Sunday, and by mid-afternoon the hum of lawn mowers could be heard around the neighborhood.
I was adding to the noise by getting wet and dirty with a power washer, removing grime accumulated through the wet weather.
My wife and I have been watching Shrinking on Apple TV+, and thoroughly enjoying it. Funny, well written, and a good cast. Recommended. 🍿
🌞 The first morning waking up to sun for a long time. Much gratitude.

Day 5: Tile, suggested by @thedimpause
After our recent visits to Portugal, I feel spoiled for choice for tiles to share today. These were taken in Porto.

Day 4: Zip, suggested by @Miraz
This car, sitting in front of our hotel in Florence, Italy last year, looked as though it had some zip to it.

♨️ We just put a heater on. It's cold this evening, in our corner of Maui.

Spinning wheels today…that’s what it feels like right now. The day started off well, but the wheels got progressively bogged down in the mud as the day has gone on, at least that is how it feels from where I sit right now. Maybe I am too hard on myself and need to take a break, and do something different when the results aren’t coming?

Day 3: Solitude, suggested by @circustiger
At dusk on a cold evening, a lone fisherman sits waiting on the beach in Comporta, Portugal.
☔ I haven’t seen so much rain here. Since I landed back on island a week ago, there has been rain with short breaks, and a lot of wind. I just drove home with wipers doing double speed, and rivers forming alongside the road.

Day 2: Weather, suggested by @pcora
We’ve been having terrible weather of late. Continual wind and rain, with the occasional glimpse of sun. Cold as well.
