Good morning, DDA!

 

[PNO4TE]

We are going to visit Kristin today! It is restaurant week in Alexandria so I think a lunch date is in order.

We're off to a local car show. Actually Chris is already there, but I thought I'd make a picnic lunch and pop in a little later, when the sun comes out.

It looks great to me, Deb!

It looks great to me, Deb!

Thanks Beth. Snapfish sent me a 50% off photo books code that ends tomorrow so I'm trying to get a couple of books done. We'll see if I get more than that one done, but at least I'm making the effort

Hello!

Deb and Tia - love the trip reports!

Glynis - welcome home. Your pictures on FB are wonderful!

Debbie - I'm still hoping Isaac weakens or detours past you all! It sounds like things are slowly progressing with your foot. I know it's not as quick as you would like it. That's got to be so disheartening!

Elin - you've been very busy!

Our week at the beach was relaxing, but rainy. I'm definitely not complaining, because a rainy day at the beach beats a sunny day at work anytime! We still have one more week of summer vacation. I think I'll take a quick trip up to visit my parents this weekend, before summer, sports and dance take up all of our weekends.

 

[PNO4TE]

Good morning, DDA!

Tammy - I agree that rain at the beach does not compare to a day at work! Glad you all had fun. Enjoy the time with your parents!

 

[PNO4TE]

Debbie - I have been thinking of you and Richie and all those close to you. I hope Isaac changes his mind or weakens before he gets anywhere close to you. Stay safe, please.

Good morning DDA
Elin-Glad you had a good trip to PA, how nice to surprise him!
Tammi-glad you guys had fun at the beach
Deb-welcome home, going to the trip report now!

Just popping in to say hi....another week left of summer and its back to work for me. This summer has FLOWN by. It was a great summer and Im not ready to see it go..but no choice. It will be nice to get back into the swing of things and get to know my new group of kiddos.

I just got back from the QUICKEST trip to Dallas. We left Saturday morning and came home Sunday night. So here is the shortest trip report ever We had a 930 flight and landed in Dallas a little after 1130 and the shutttle was already there to take us to the hotel. We stayed at the Sheraton Arlington, which was really nice! We basically walked in, sat down for 5 minutes and went out the door to 6 flags. We spent a few hours there riding some rides and eating lunch and then around 430 headed back to the hotel to get ready for the game. By this point, Joe and I were both like little kids, so excited for the game! We got ready and the walk to the stadium was only about 20 minutes. We got some great pictures on the walks! We went right to our seats and then walked around the stadium for a bit, he has never been there! There are people that sit behidn us that werent there so i sent a text seeing if they were at the game somewhere else and she had said her husband was there in his company's suite and would come say hi at halftime. He did and he took the 2 of us up in the suite for the rest of the game..it was awesome! We got a ton of pictures from here too. After the game, we walked back to the hotel and got a really late night dinner--the hotel had pizza hut express open so we had pizza at 1130--we both forgot to get dinner we were so excited! The next morning, we had the tour of the stadium so we walked back there and went on a tour that was 2 hours. We got to see so many places, but my favorite was we got on the field!! I was on cloud 9! So the tour ended and we did some shopping in the proshop and then headed back to the airport. We had such a great trip! If youre interested, pictures on facebook!

Now im headed into work to do a few more things..ugh! Have a great day!

Morning all. Sorry I didn't post yesterday, but it got really crazy around here.

First, the good news, Katie made the competition team!!! She's one of 4 sophomores that made the team, so she feels really good about it! They will rehearse a lot for the next month and then compete at the beginning of October. Should be an interesting month around here!

Secondly, Alan has a sister, Marci, who is both physically and mentally handicapped. She has the mental capacity of a 12 year old. 17 years ago, she married another mentally handicapped man, Lynn, and they've been very happy together for all this time. Yesterday morning, Lynn had a massive heart attack and passed away (he was 56). So, we are dealing with funeral arrangements, and trying to explain things in a way that Marci understands what she needs to do from here on. It's really difficult, because she doesn't want a lot of help from the family; wants to be independent, but she doesn't know enough to not get taken advantage of. Lynn helped out there, so it's going to be tough! Anyway, the funeral is on Thursday, so I'll be in and out a lot until it's over.

Tammi - Glad you had a good week! I'd take the beach in rain over work any day!!! Enjoy your visit with your parents!

Debbie - Praying that Isaac changes his mind and decides to call it quits soon! Take care!!!!

Elin - Loved the pic from the party! Bob is looking AMAZING!!! There's a strong family resemblance between those men, isn't there?

Deb - I haven't had time to start reading your TR, but I plan to!!! From the little I've read, it sounds like you had a great time! Can't wait to read all the details!!

I'm off to get the kids ready for school!

 

[Blueeyes101817]

Glynis-Congrats to Katie! Im sorry to hear about Lynn...so sad. Ill keep them in my prayers

 

[my3princes]

Yes, Congrats to Katie. I hope that you can find assisted living or another alternative for you SIL. I'm sure that it will be very difficult for her for awhile. Of course if she has the mind of a 12 year old she may be able to deal with it better than an adult mind would

Glynis - I'm so sorry for your loss, but very excited for Katie!!!!

Thanks for the well wishes, as you can tell I am having a hard time sleeping. We are getting squalls from the feeder bands. A few minutes ago we heard a large crash, I had to go see, (even though Richie was fussing about me standing on my foot) we had a red maple go down in the backyard. I'm really surprised that we were so lucky with it though, it fell right between the shed and the kids swingset/fort. It did hit my swing but if I had to choose something to go that would have been my choice.

The news has Isaac on land so now it's a matter of flood waters from the rain and surge. Keep praying for minimal damage for everyone out there.

Thanks

 

[Tammi67]

Good morning.

Debbie - I hope you all are staying safe. I'm keeping you in my prayers.

Glynis - Congrats to Katie! How exciting for her! I'm sorry about the loss in your family.

Jen - what a fun trip!
