Aww, ain't that a pain, when life gets in the way. LOL Safe travel home, and stock up on food and hugs.
I'll leave the light on.
Enjoy seeing your pictures, and the beautiful weather you had. Another year for me, if I would ever do a Spring trip. Hey, that may be a good ticker.
That would be a PHENOMENAL ticker, Lynne! Say, the last week of April?
Hey! We'll be in the same neck of the woods this weekend. However, we'll both be pretty busy with family it sounds like. I'll send a wave in your general direction, if I knew what direction that was
Mom had a fall last week and broke her hip and has been at Belleville General since
. But in under 24 hours she was sporting a new replacement; the kids can now call her Bionic Grandma. (Who says we have problems with our health system?) She is determined to set a record for getting out of the rehab wing and getting back home. There is a glass of wine with her name on it at the end of the road, and she needs to be home for her 90th birthday party next month. She's up and about and already managing stairs and other obstacles in her rehab sessions. I can't believe how quickly she is bouncing back - I can only hope that most of those genetics were passed down to me!
It has been a bit of strain for my sister and I though, as we are tag-team commuting back and forth from Toronto/Ottawa for visits and madly planning for how we adapt her home for her return. It's a tiny century old workers' home with the bedroom and bathroom up a narrow flight of stairs. But adaptations are possible and we have been rearranging some of the heavier furniture to remove obstacles and clear walking paths. My "honeydew" list for there seems to grow by the day, but I am confident that everything can be done before her return.
Anyway, let's hope for both our sakes for good travel weather, and some happy family memories!
(I've always wanted an excuse to use that crutches smiley!!)
Aw, I am so sorry to hear about your mom's health struggles. So glad to know that she was able to get care quickly, though......my mom was a full 6 months on a wait list for a new hip (just got hers in March of this year). I hope you had a wonderful weekend visiting Quinte! Did you have a chance to do anything other than sit at the hospital? We should have exchanged cell numbers and you could have joined us at Shorelines Casino for dinner on Saturday night! (no gambling, just dinner
)
Hi Gina so glad I got some time to catch up on your trip report.
. I just got back on Sunday from my two week adventure to driving to Orlando
. I am going to start a trip report this week I hope. As soon as we got home things started happening that took my attention. I loved your Sea World part. I can't wait to get back there next summer. I agree about making friends on here. I look forward to coming on and catching up with everyone and sharing stuff.
The dolphin encounter looked great and I will have to look into that myself for next summer. What a wonderful gift from a great friend. I can't believe the summer is half over. I don't look forward to the fall and winter.
I probably won't put much of this in my trip report but we did tour UCF and my DD loved it there. She is getting excited about this year and working on getting in next Fall. We have to start cleaning our house out it will probably take us a year alone to do that
.
Dontrushme: We were there the same week as you and felt the pain of the weather
. The storms everyday put a crimp in our plans and we tried to make the best of it. I didn't mind the heat though. The great thing about Universal and staying on site there is so much to do.
Welcome back
. I hope you had a good trip overall....a couple of your emojis look like maybe things didn't go quite as planned? I know the weather was kinda crappy, so that certainly stinks.
You'll have to post your trip report link here when you kick off your first entry
. I am sure there are lots of my readers that will want to join in!
Have a great weekend with your boy!
Thank you! It was a wonderful, awesome visit
.
I wouldn't mind if your report went right up to before you left for your October trip. Have a great weekend!
Thank you! Hard to believe the weekend is over already
. Our time home goes by way too fast.
"soupy goop"??!?!?!?!?!
What does that even mean? Tacos is meat, cheese and pico de gallo on a tortilla. No soupy goup on tacos!
I'll give you a pass on guac (even though it's soooo delicious!), But how can anyone go wrong with a totilla and some meat?!?! Though now I'm feeling guilty that you won't like it (even though the atmosphere at Rocco's is somewhat unique and a silly experience, like TVs behind the toilets and mirrors on the back of the stall doors, so you can watch Napoleon Dynamite while doing your business ) but if you really don't like tacps, we can stick to Kobe's too, I love that place too!
Soupy goop.....like, sour cream
. If we can keep the ingredients simple, to meat cheese and tortillas (without anyone looking at me like I've lost all my marbles), then we're golden!
And heck no, we're keeping with the theme of stretching my boundaries and trying out something new. I'm really quite excited about Rocco's!
Kobes was such a success, I know ya won't steer me wrong.
I hope you have a great weekend with Jake!
Same here! No Mako for me!!
I like your reasoning! Orlando trip =Mental health necessity
Yes- will let you know if a late October getaway will happen!!
Steve!!!
Enjoy your visit with Jake! I understand missing the kid! I miss Troy a lot!! Can't wait to bring him home in August!
Someday, it will get easier.....I hope
. Until then, goodbyes are always hard.
It is my greatest hope to bring that boy of mine (somehow, some way) to the USA. I'm sure it will happen, but until then, I'm learning patience. Or trying to!
Is Troy home permanently in August? Or just for a visit before he heads back to Orlando?
im on board with orlando = necessary for mental health
It really is the best therapy in the world1
Just popping in to say "hi". I hate typing on my kindle.
as a fellow office/business/ manger type, I feel you on the beginning of the month and quarter thing. Have a great week.
Thank you
. I despise posting from my phone or tablet, too....give me my laptop or bust
.
I hope to get a new entry up tomorrow night, if all goes well. It's time to get this report back on track!
