Bye, Bye Barefoot--Again

      Sadly, I appear to be gaining weight, and I must take control of it immediately.  Clearly, the vegetarian meals I am eating are still too much, so I must make some adjustments as soon as possible.  The wine is out for the time being.  I'll substitute it with yoga??  Maybe????  Definitely a bummer.  Also, my computer crashed, and that's a disaster because everything I do is linked to that computer.  It means I'm going to have to put everything back into a new computer which by the way is going to arrive from Amazon on Tuesday.  Steve just decided we would order another one for me because I could not do a disc repair on my all-time favorite computer this, Toshiba.  I think it had something to do with a software update for Windows 11 when I had a Windows10.  I mean a software update for Windows 11 when mine was Windows 10.  However, it was part of a network that upgraded to Windows 11, so I think the Cloud didn't know what the laptop was doing.  What a disaster!  So now I'm trying to do all my blogging and settings and everything on my phone, and I guess I'll try to get by with this until my new computer arrives.  So don't expect much from this week's blog except to know that Steve started crabbing in Bellingham Bay yesterday because the season opened there.  It hasn't opened in our area, but that's okay because he can drop his boat at Louie Island and get on the edge of Bellingham Bay without using up too much of his gasoline.  The neighbor Steve is getting to know went with him, and I'm so grateful because I hate it when he goes by himself.  It worked out great.  In the end, they got 25 crabs.  Ten went to our neighbors, who had a license for five each.  Then the guy that went along had a license for five, and Steve and I are each allowed five.  The crab is just beautiful this season, and of course, we had fresh crab last night.  It took me a long time to get to the keto piece of my blog.  Last night we had fresh crap with butter.  That is perfect for the keto diet.  It is excellent for crab bisque, crab and cauliflower souffle, mock crab quiche, and all of the other items I intend to make using this delicious crab meat.  So, although I've had a disaster with the computer, we had great success with the crab crabbing.  This will be another exciting season.  Ken, Steve's Brother, and his wife Trudie visited this weekend and brought in twenty more crabs!  Very soon, I will be inundated with crab again and sick of it, but for now, we're counting our blessings.
