I love credit cards so much!

Just got a call from my mother that my grandmother had just passed away. I am glad we were able to make the trek to NH on Christmas Eve to see her. My grandparents live right behind my parents, so after dinner, my bother and our DWs took my grandfather some food down to say hi and see how they both were. We walk in and he has the TV on a station playing Christmas music with the fireplace on the screen. Off on the side he had the little LED Christmas tree plugged in (pic attached). He went into their bedroom to make sure she was awake. We walked in and said hi, to which she just smiled and nodded. On their dresser was a beautiful bouquet of the prettiest roses I had ever seen, illuminated by the light on the dresser. He told us it was his final gift to her on Earth. He even set a small radio in the room so she could listen to Christmas music. The rest is history but the memories live on.

Sorry for the long post but I wanted to share it here, with my friends.

I hope everyone has a wonderful New Year!

I don't even know how you could do that much spend in a short period of time! :O

One word for us-taxes!

It really is nauseating. DH says, well at least I don't have to go to a restaurant to watch and pay for food.

Are we married to the same guy? That’s what mine says almost verbatim!

I've been trying to distract myself by reading online today, when my phone is not beeping with texts.

This morning my daughter and family were in a pretty bad car accident in Colorado. They've all survived and no one is currently critical, but lots of broken bones. Both of the cars look totaled. My ex went to the scene and sent me the pics. Daughter called me before help came and there was barely a signal so it was pretty scary.

Youngest grand daughter just had a cat scan and they are getting ready to do an MRI of her C2 neck bone. She was on side of the car that was hit but of course she was in her car seat in the back. Older grand daughter has been released, but Mom, Dad and youngest are still in hospital. Dad is in surgery now and has multiple broken bones but is not critical. He was airlifted to the hospital and Mom and 2 daughters came by ambulance. Mom's ankle badly broken.

Yesterday it was pictures texted back and forth of everyone having a wonderful xmas with our Colorado family, and today is not so great but I'm thankful everyone survived and will recover.

The other driver also survived, and I'm happy for his family.

I'm just curious, do you have some type of alert set up, or do you simply check often

I'd love to know if there is an alert setting. I don't think there is though. I normally just keep checking myself. I did get an email today about a SW sale. I normally check when I get those emails. Nothing cheaper for me on my flights though.

Oh my, so scary. Especially with you so far from them. Glad it was not worse. Every parents worst nightmare no matter what age getting a call about car accident.

Wow, glad everyone will recover. Sending thoughts and prayers.

My DD was in a rollover accident about 10 years ago. She was so very lucky. Totaled the car but only minor aches and pains. It could have been much worse. I still ask her to text me when she gets home after visiting. You never stop worrying about your kids even when they grow up.

I'm just curious, do you have some type of alert set up, or do you simply check often? P2 likes SW so I'm looking for tips for brownie points.

No judgment if you're just checking several times per day. We've all been there.

I probably check every two to three days on average. Especially if I get an email for a new sale.

 

[StephPlum]

but also have airhint set up to alert m

Thanks for this. I didn't know about it. I just set up for my flights. I'm sure I'll still check at least once a week.
