DDA Chapter 27

Good morning, DDA! :sunny:

What good news for both Alan and Hal!! :yay:
 
I am very excited this morning. Bob and I are planning a trip! Not to WDW, but a small trip, nonetheless. :goodvibes

i have to be in Boston in August on business for a couple of days. Since Kathrin is there, as well as my brother and his family, I wanted Bob to be able to go too. I talked to Bob's doctor and his rehab team and they said he could go! So, our flights are booked! Also have a rental car and the last two night's lodging taken care of thanks to my boss. It is the first two days and night that I am excited about. And this part of the trip is a surprise for Bob!

When we go to Boston we almost always stay in a wonderful B&B in Brookline to be close to Kathrin. However, they are booked for the night we needed so I decided to start looking at something a little different. Since lots of restaurant hopping and general sightseeing will be out of the question I started thinking maybe we could salvage a semblance of our summer beach vacation. There is a lovely place in Gloucester called the Bass Rocks Inn and they have been so helpful in making certain we can stay there comfortably, no matter what Bob needs at that point. So, the plan is to leave the airport and drive to Gloucester and look at this for a couple of days (Kathrin and my brother can come visit us there!):

Thirteen days until "The Wedding", we've hit some bumps in the road, which I totally expected and I'm sure there will be more.

I recently celebrated my 50th birthday, it's hard to believe time has gone by so quickly. My family did an excellent job making me feel loved,
it started with the Keith Urban concert, he put on a great show. The next morning we headed out to Orange Beach, Al. and spent the weekend in a beautiful condo with our daughters, SIL's and grandchildren. The day of my actual birthday my youngest and her fiance took me to Olive Garden for lunch and then DH and my DD's set up a surprise birthday hibachi dinner with 23 of our friends and family. My oldest daughter gave me tickets to Wynona, where we met up with my brother in law and sister in law who took us to dinner before and drinks after, and finally our youngest and her fiance are sending us on a wishes cruise in November while we are in Disney. :cloud9:

They've already told me that they won't be able to top this one next year

I neglected to say :bday: on here but I read all about it on facebook. Sounds like your whole family outdid themselves!

Sorry those proverbial bumps have cropped up in your wedding road plan. Hope them smooth out very soon!! :hug:
 
Thanks for the excitement over our trip, my friends. I booked the room at the Inn and we are set to go!

And thanks for the birthday greetings. Last fall the girls and I had made plans to be in Las Vegas right now, but life got in the way! So, Kristin and Ashley have made my weekend just delightful. We went out on the town on Friday night as well as a surprise day on the town yesterday. I am tired! :rotfl: They have something else planned for today here at home with Bob, but I hope it is a little less hectic. Kathrin sent what we lovingly call "Stinky Cheese" at our house. The package included four fabulous kinds of blue cheeses and two samples of cheese that I have never had. Can't wait!!
 
Sounds like we have two moms whose family knows how to treat them right!! :goodvibes: I'm glad you ladies have had wonderful birthdays!

Good morning. :)

Low key day planned here. Going to the pool with the kids this afternoon. Maybe a trip to the grocery.

Have a great day!
 
Today was frustrating at work. Just training issues, but I ended up with a bad headache which radiated into my back. I'm thinking tension headache.

On the bright side I made some super yummy, moist raspberry/chocolate chip cookies. Not good for the waist, but yummy for sure.
