That’s great news, Bobbi! Enjoy your time in New England! Just wanted to add to make sure you stay really well hydrated and stop frequently to get out and walk around! One of the best rest stops in NH is just over the MA border The Common Man! I love going there myself, you can get a bite to eat there and probably some fun trinkets. Have fun!

Pea That is the best rest stop in NH! It is my pit stop on my way up to my friend and North Conway. Hope you are taking care and feeling better.

Off of which highway?

We’re spending tonight in CT.

It’s on Rt 93 North at Hooksett, NH

Thank you, everyone. I’m hoping I feel better soon, too! I haven’t been able to do much of anything.

PS @bobbiwoz My DD recommends the grilled Fig, Brie and Apple sandwich (and she puts turkey on it too, because they used to make them that way in her culinary class in HS) at the Common Man stop. It’s the running joke between her and her boyfriend cause he gets something different every time and she always gets that, and he always wishes he got what she got, too, it’s so good, lol.

Hope you're feeling better soon, @Pea-n-Me

I love the original care bear picture dear PollyannaMom, so cute. To me the newer care bears don't look very friendly.

Dad just left after another lovely visit. We truly are so blessed to be able to see each other every day. When he gets home, if there is no message from Sonia, he will call her. We are praying to hear something by tomorrow.

I did attend a less than ten minute care meeting this morning. R and M from social services were there as was the kitchen and therapy supervisors. The 5th person was a lady who documents patient needs and status, someone called an mds according to Google. All of 5 of them agreed how easy I am. I told R that we are waiting to hear the owner's flooring response and that as soon as I had an update I would pass it onto him. He was fine with that.

To any chocolate chip mini muffin fans, dad and I both used to like Kroger brand from Ralphs. Their version of the muffins has been discontinued. We tried Enteman's which dad thought were just okay. I did not like them. We both enjoyed Walmart's Great Value brand of the mini muffins, plus they are a bargain.

Rest of afternoon and evening warm hug to all with an extra to you Pea. Thinking extra of our friend Dazed, too.

Pea That sandwich your daughter gets sounds so good. I ate at a different Common Man once when in NH with Kenny and kids. It was really good. I like that rest stop for the gas station, rest rooms, and little shops and displays. Plus it is halfway to my NH friend.

Bobbiwoz Safe travels.

@flyingdumbo127 I hope you hear back from Sonia and get your new floors. It sounds like you are continuing to make good progress.

Good morning. It is going to be a warm day with temps in the upper 70s. I have lunch with my MA friend today. I look forward to seeing her and talking with her. Maybe there will be an update with her friend and our Sedona trip. I am glad it is Friday. I was not really into work this week so it made it feel like a long week. This weekend I am going to see Ellie in a play. She is a dragonfly in Alice in Wonderland.

Have a good day.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Thank you dear Snowysmom. Enjoy a wonderful lunch and visit with your friend. God Bless Ellie! She will be great

Good morning dear friends and happy Friday. God willing later today I will have some positive floor news to share. I will check in again later this morning. Hugs to all.

Good morning. Was sunny, now it's clouding, they say storms after 10, then clearing up again. It's 70 now heading for 84.

I spent almost 3 hours doing yard work yesterday, but everything is nice and neat again. I'll pay for it today, I'm stiff and sore, and tired, lol.

When Summer got home, she found out that her bedroom was also flooded. They use it as more of a storage room. She can't sleep in a bed, so she sleeps in her recliner in the living room. There were boxes and baskets of clothes in the bedroom and when it flooded, the boxes and clothes soaked up a lot of water. She has to throw everything away and take a whole load to the landfill. The landlord found out that the pipe that leads to the creek was clogged so instead of the water going to the creek, it went to the back of her house and seeped in. It's a mess. Landlord is working to get the pipe cleared.

Taking a quick trip to the PA store to pick up a few of their weekend specials, and then doing nothing. House is clean, laundry is done, and yardwork done, I earned a break, lol

Have a terrific Friday

 

[flyingdumbo127]

I liked your post dear Lynn for your do nothing weekend. Please be sure to do just that! Many prayers for brighter times for Summer.

Here we go again, severe storm warning for winds up to 60 mph. It's thundering and dumping down rain, but it's passing over us and heading away now.

We are in line for severe thunderstorms in the next couple of hours. Hope DD gets home before it hits the beltway. It's miserable driving in rain.

5:12pm Looking at weather.com it's saying 60mph gusts and quarter size hail. I need to go lower my umbrellas again.

And son's area is reporting golf ball sized hail and 70 mph winds.

And at 5:41pm it's thundering, DD is home and the rain has started. Need to do dinner as we may lose power.

5:56pm There are limbs everywhere in my yard and neighbor's yards but no actual trees down. Rain is still pouring but the sky is getting lighter. Lost cable for a minute but it came back. Still have power.

 

[easyas123]

We are sitting on our porch watching the storms roll in. Rumblings of thunder all around.

It blew through pretty quick here. It went from 84 degrees to 68 degrees in an hour.

We are on watch until 10pm but that's enough for me. The trees possibly coming down onto my house from 3 different neighbors are what bothers me.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Please stay dry and very safe dear friends! I have had a very blessed day. Dad and I shared another lovely visit. Still no word ftom Sonia. This is actually a positive because it much easier allows us to clarify our request.

A dear friend reminded me to be sure that the workers pull up our current floor as opposed to cutting corners by simply installing new laminate over them! Dad and I will email Sonia so we have this in written record and he will call her on Monday.

Later afternoon and evening hugs to all.

Our temp did the same. We had some thunder, and a downpour, but it didn't last long. One gust of wind and that was it, the rest passed right over us thankfully

 

[Snowysmom]

Bobbiwoz Hope you made it safely to NH and have a nice time at your DGD's graduation.

Good morning. Glad the storms were fairly quick. Trees coming down are a worry for sure. It is a dreary cloudy day here right now. Kenny's kids have soccer this morning but not sure if they will have it. I will text Kenny in a bit. Yesterday I had a nice lunch with my MA friend. Our Sedona trip is pretty much decided. If her friend cannot go we are still going. We will change up rooms so we are together. I deferred to my friend on the decision as her friend is involved and want to be sure they do what they think is best.

Have a good Saturday.

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Good early Saturday, everyone. I pray each of you had a good sleep. I did even though time of month came early yesterday. Oh well. Now more than ever it's a blessing to be healthy.

Dad and I will be emailing Sonia floor request clarification. God willing by early next week we hear something. Grace of God in the meantime, I am beyond blessed to be stronger every day. I will do my exercises throughout today and sit up in the wheelchair, too. Of course, it will be wonderful to see dad later.

Happy Saturday dear friends. I will check back in later. Extra hugs to Dazed and Pea.

P.S. Sounds like a good plan, dear Snowysmom. I hope the other friend is able to join you

 

[lynxstch]

Good morning. 70 now going to 81. Sunny, beautiful breeze blowing, I'd be happy if it stayed like this all day. Dave is supposed to come today and look at the gutter to find out why water is coming out of the end of it. Might have to reseal it or take that piece down and put a new end on it. Of course it has to be right at the end over where the electric wire is running. He's going to get on the roof and do it from there.

Nothing else going on around here. I expect to hear a lot of mowers and trimmers going later. Luckily mine is still looking neat. By Monday it will need mowing again, but it gives me the weekend off. I might go down to the farmers market to see what they have.

Have a good Saturday everyone

Megan was one of three with 4.0 grade point average and received Chancellor’s award! They had the celebration live screened in the coffee shop so Tom and I were watching from inside, with some other grandparents!

I am so grateful that we are able to be here!

 

[flyingdumbo127]

Love Tigger dear Lynn and don't forget to take the whole weekend off!

Beautiful picture dear Bobbi. I am so grateful to God that you and Tom could be there. I am sure your presence meant a lot to Megan.
