Diane, more and headed your way. So sorry to hear the trip wasn't all you had hoped it would be, and sorry to hear about your mom's health issues.

Happy belated birthday from my family. I have been sooo busy at work and have not been on the board. Justine and Johnna are here and say Hi! Hope you had a great day. Only one more birthday before the TOAL.

Hi everyone! We just got back from Hilton Head. In hindsight I wish we didn't bother going. It was nice there, but the driving back & forth was very stressful. Especially on the way down when we hit heavy winds in the Carolinas. I did do quite a bit of the driving & actually most of the driving on the way home. Mike did get a chance to golf, we went on a dolphin cruise, we took a trip to Savannah for the day & ate at Paula Deen's restaurant, & otherwise just hung out at the pool. I never did feel really relaxed though & I think it was worrying about Mike's health & knowing we had to drive back home. Traffic was horrendous through Washington last night & through NY & most of CT today. As much as I hate flying....I've decided I hate driving so much more!

Anyway...when it rains it pours. I hate to keep sharing nothing but bad news with you all, but I just got word that my mother suffered another heart attack. She has already had two major heart surgeries & she has emphazema which requires her to be on oxygen at all times. She is refusing treatment & has decided that she does not want to fight anymore. She has not been a happy person for a few years now & I think this is the final straw. My sisters are there with her, but the doctors say that if she is refusing breathing and other treatments, that she is not going to make it. It looks like I might be flying out to Orlando first thing tomorrow morning. I have not been close with my mother for some time now due to long standing issues, but I would not feel right if I did not have a chance to say goodbye.

Don't know when I'll have time to catch up here, but I hope everyone is well!

Diane, you are in our prayers Even when you are on good terms with a parent, it is still a struggle to lose them. Hope it all works at as best it can . . .

 

[DiaLady]

Gotta say that I am amazed. I have been gone from you for two whole baseball games (with a 45 min break for dinner) and there was only TWO new pages to catchup with . . .This must be the lull before the storm . . .what is everyone up to that they aren't here chatting . .. By the way, both boys won their games again today . .whooo

Oh, Diane....I am truly sorry you are having to go through this. Please know I will be thinking of you and hope that you can have closure and peace . I am very sad for you. Be strong.

Diane--

Keeping your hubby & your mom in my thoughts & prayers. Extra good thoughts for you, too. I know this has to be a very tough time for you.

 

[lbgraves]

This one is so cool, Brack!!! What is that program called again?

One more ....

 

[Verandah Man]

Well, our ST is at the cast party and we were able to get the group photo and Angelina's "hot shot" pic tonight. I have attached the pics below. Of course, just like any ST, she doesn't like her pic................

 

[Enna]

That's not a silly question at all, and my answer would be, yes I am also a "bit" worried.

I think I am counting on, "Faith, Trust and Pixie Dust."

We are on the FTPD plan here, too!

I tried to plot out the budget through the TOAL the other day and almost made my head explode.

 

[Enna]

Andy--

Angelina looks fabulous!

I was going to say that it is good to see you home from your vacation safe and sound but now . We will all be thinking of you this week. The winds down here were terrible. Gusts were up to 50 mph Monday morning still.
