You must have been so happy to see your friend after so long. 
Hooray for a good dentist report for you too, dear Kirby
Prayers 
continued for your grandkids! right back, Snowysmom along with extra 
We will all sure be praying extra for you, my friend, this weekend. I am so very thankful to God that He has given you kind friends and a close family, too. It was wonderful to see Glenda for sure.
I'm so glad you had a good trip!
It's big enough for 2 adults to sit in and do nothing else. It's small enough to sit on my deck.
I know what you mean. I was at my friend's house swimming Monday and after 6:00 I noticed a lot of mosquitos out. By morning I realized my left arm just got bit up by them. I'm sticking to my own backyard.
That's no fun indeed. Enjoy your visit with your son and how great you treated yourself to the pool! Taz and much prayer always! I pray you will enjoy your 
and choose to go to 
WDW too. Thank you so much for sharing your phone recommendations. Yikes! How awful though about your new phone. I'm sure sorry to hear that 
I have heard about Google phones. Honestly, I'm used to Galaxy, that's easier for not so techy me! To answer your cost question, under $200! Basic for sure but ideally with a decent camera (or at least a working camera. The camera on my current phone does not work. Dad's does and takes okay pictures anywhere other than inside this apartment. To be fair the lighting in here is terrible. I will keep in extra prayer your phone that you get tomorrow will work a TON better than the T-Mobile (years ago dad and I had T-Mobile trouble ourselves) How awful that you did, too and with a new phone, too
so took it slow, lol. Got there super early, at opening. Hit Dunkin Donuts for a coffee and muffin and settled in. Took about three hours. Did some grocery shopping afterward and took a little nap when I got home, which was nice. Had stuffed peppers for supper with salad from our garden. About to start a work stretch, wish me luck.
And I agree that I think the new dentist is trying - still impressed he got the ultrasonic for you! I wish I could offer some help on the phone but I only know iPhones (and mine is getting a bit long in the tooth). I can tell you something to try for indoor pictures is to put all shades up to let as much light in as possible, turn on lights, and go to an area that has the most possible light in your apt when taking pics. I know it’s not always possible, like at night, or on the north side of the apt. But this will help with any camera that you use, since photography is all about light! (And I am not a big flash person, I like natural light as much as possible.) 
I spoke to my SIL they made it through the anniversary of their loss, but it was a hard few days with Father’s Day and the actual date of passing. But they are busy planning a celebration of life for later this summer, so that’s helpful. Easyas, how is the foster pup doing? Filling up on frozen banana slices? 
Lynn, positive to hear you have the hang of the new mower, and glad your SIL has health insurance for a while. I remember my mother doing things that surprised us after my father passed. We called her The Merry Widow to tease her a bit. I guess people rise to the occasion when they need to. We have to update our wills. The attorney for my mother’s estate called the other day. I realized they charge like $400 every time I talk to them so I didn’t call him back, lol. I have to get that finalized. 
She thinks she got it from a young boy who she was in line behind at the slide for a long time at the pool. He was hacking, and the air around them was hot and humid and not moving. Actually told her he had allergies. No mask on because, well, she was in the pool. They wore masks inside everywhere else and on the planes. So she hasn’t been feeling too well. For a while said she had the “same hack as that kid”. Can come off quarantine tomorrow. What a bummer! Thankfully we have my mother’s place where she’s been able to hang out by herself (with her hamster) which has all the comforts of home. Ironic she had put the trip off since January because of Covid. I meant to answer this, Mona. Pop Century is a fun resort that has larger-than-life icons outside each building, one themed to each decade 50s through 90s. Play Doh is from the 70s, I believe. Speaking of photography, it’s one of my favorite resorts to walk around at night to photograph, so many colors and icons so beautiful in their own way. I don’t think they have Play Doh to play with, but maybe they do at some of the DVC resort activity rooms that they have, not sure. Inside the Pop Century lobby they have shadow boxes on the wall with mementos from each decade, and they are a blast to look at. We’ve enjoyed staying there, and we usually visit each trip, too, just to walk around and take it all in. They used to have a really good parmesan chicken but they don’t have it anymore. I would go there just for that, lol. And the tye dye cheesecake, which they have a cheap version of now, in, like, a cup.
The other thing we really loved about in the past is that the CMs do the Twist every morning at 8am and the Hustle every evening at 6pm (or something like that) and we always joined in. I have the funniest video of DS just a few years ago learning the Hustle from a youtube video just for that. Not sure they still do it but we loved it. A lot has changed at the resorts since Covid. 
Omg! Lol! This is great! I can’t believe they mailed it that morning!
Thank you all - I had to "reframe" the whole situation into an adventure before I could bring myself to go sit in the line, but I now have a pandemic passport story AND my DS has his passport!
That's lovely that you were able to reunite with your friend - hopefully we'll all be having many of these little reunions with those who were outside our bubble and that we've been unable to see for years!
Sounds very peaceful - I spent my summers on the shores of Lake Superior - it was magical!
Good for you! I've been working on my procrastination - that's about all the exercise I've been getting! Hoping to push the inertia out of the way for a morning ride. That stiffness after a workout is a good hurt though, isn't it?
YES YES YES YES!!!
Oh no!!! This is what I'm really concerned about - I'm travelling with my 80 yo aunt, and if she gets COVID because of my little Disney addiction, I'll feel horrible!
We’re with you!I am at the condo and got my laptop connected to wifi. I tried my work computer and can connect too. That is a relief. Thanks all for the words of encouragement. I am afraid I am back to yelling at Chris. I will give this place a year and then if it is not the right place for me, I think I will move north to NH.
Snowysmom, we are cheering you on! You CAN do this! Sending extra prayers my friend. I'm not much of a lemonade fan. I do remember as a young child liking lemonade popsicles because they were sweet. Find your preferred lemon 
and make some lemonade indeed!and thank you so very much dear Pea! It absolutely brought me such cheer to see Glenda yesterday. I am looking forward to maybe seeing Barbara Ann this next week when she brings her two new housemates (two college graduates who she is so kindly giving a home to while they start out trying to become actresses) to visit The Farmer's Market Thank you also so much for the fun video and sharing about the Pop Century in general. The only Disney hotel I've ever stayed at was when I was very young, dad won a weekend stay at the DHL through work. Sadly, the biggest takeaway I have from that trip was losing my then favorite stuffed animal, a pink bunny 
Sometime soon thereafter, God brought Minty (another pink and white stuffed animal rabbit) into my life and I've had her and Benjy (stuffed animal dog that grandma got me when I was a few years older than when I lost Pink Bunny in Chicago) for your DD, I am so sorry to hear she caught Covid I may have shared already that family of my cousin Ruth's brother who recently attended a wedding. Everyone present at that wedding caught Covid. In happier TX cousins related news, their 40th Anniversary is coming up. Yesterday they were able to get a much needed new car from CarMax 
This apartment just doesn't get much natural light at all especially here in the Livingroom. The one bigger front window has blinds. Even when opened because there is a bother big old building a few feet away, there's neither much light or air let in, that's why it gets so stuffy in here. This reminds me of another Community Board thread I saw recently that asked people to share what their dream house would look like. For sure, a new place for dad and I would have a lot of natural light and good airflow, too! I'll make this a QOTD at the end of my post Canadisney Fly and prayers your weekend is a more peaceful one especially after the passport mess you just went through.
Fun to think about 
I keep seeing ads for that! Our peach season peaks in August, there are peach festivals all over the place. My husband is busy monitoring his peach trees (only 2) as well!
That seems smart, give it a year and take the time to evaluate how you feel about it all.
Yeah - it's been downright beautiful here. I told my husband last night that I wonder if we have traded a June w/o much humidity and low temps for a warmer Sept. & October when we will be ready for cooler temps.
We got a good, all night and most of the day rain earlier this week. It was exactly what we needed.
That's a great story to tell! The things we do as Moms...
In the spirit of being brutally honest - I don't have much to say these days. I'm vaxed, I'm boosted, I'm fully living life and keeping busy with work and family and, well...Quarantine is not part of my current vocabulary any more! Well, it won't be as long as I don't get it again
. I'll try to come up with some more exciting posts though! I hate to brag, but I used to live in Delaware
, and I currently live only a few minutes/miles from the MD/DE state line. Whatta ya need to know? Lower/Slower or Above the C & D canal?Sounds like a lovely time, and good memories made.
What? That is a thing? I'm not a soda pop drinker, but my eldest is. This sounds just up his alley.
Sounds like fun! I've been to the Arts Festival, and the Garden Festival - but never Food & Wine, although one of these days I do hope to make it there one of these days.
Boo Hiss, that stinks. Hope she feels better real soon.
Send me some strength - our 6 year old niece arrives to stay with us for 24 hours tomorrow afternoon. She's not bad, we are just out of practice with younger kids! So our patience is often stretched.
