Glynis. Did you get a medal? Kate had posted that they ran out of medals. I sure hope that you did. We are so proud of you. What did your kids think? I can't wait to hear more about your trip.

so everyone goes to bed when we are close to a milestone

Please say prayers for my FIL, Mel. His last childhood friend died today. There were 4 of them that used to hang out as kids. They would have reunions every year with the 4 guys and their families. They continued for years (even after Chuck & I married). This is going to hit him very hard.

I may end up driving him to Milwaukee for the funeral on Monday. It is a holiday for me. Chuck starts his classes at the college that day and can't really miss that. Chuck's SIL is having hip surgery so his brother can't take Mel. I don't know if Mel will let me take him but I would love to spend the time with him if he'll let me.

You got your comma in the wrong place, Jennifer.

Good morning, DDA!

, prayers, and to everyone.

Loved the pictures, Anne Marie. Thanks for sharing them. I see a trip to NYC coming sometime in the next year or two. I think my kids would love it!

Thanks
And I think I should become a part of your family, as mine prefers cookouts more. We do a few cookouts every summer anyway, why do it for a birthday too?
Please feel free to go on.

That is a normal party for my family. We always do a buffet. Some favorites are lasagna, baked beans, chicken fried rice, homemade mac and cheese, bbq hotdogs, sweat and sour meatballs, deviled eggs, cheese and crackers. We never have luck with veggie platters for some reason they never get eaten. I've done a turkey and had mashed potatoes and the regular Thanksgiving type stuff with the forementioned side dishes. I could go on and on

I know this is probably late, but we have an Odyssey. We love it! We upgraded from a Ford Windstar, and never looked back. Some of my neighbors have the Sienna and they love that as well.

Thanks, Glynis, and WELCOME BACK! I can't wait to hear all about your trip and the run.

We went out and drove both the Sienna and the Odyssey. There are certain things that I prefer about each of them. I want to get all the kids into the vehicle, since that is how I most likely will be driving it and then we'll find out which is the better deal for us.

Hi! Just got home from the city a few minutes ago. Boy was it cold!!!!

We got in early so we decided to pop into Tussaud's wax museum first. I was there in 2001 but Katie had never been. We saw Johnny Depp as Captn Jack.

he had a whole room to himself. We bypassed the horror part, neither of us wanted to see that. We spent about 2 hours in there. After that we went to the theater which is only 2 doors down. Mary Poppins was fantastic!!!! The singing & dancing were great. The woman who played MP was the same woman we saw in Beauty & the Beast last year..she is terrific. "Step in Time" was one of the best dance numbers I have ever seen done on the stage. Lots of fun! After the show I took katie to Ellens Starlight diner which is a 50's diner where the waitstaff all sing. (most are up & coming actors/singers) I am going to try & get some pictures up.
How is everyone tonight?

Sounds like a great day! I can't wait to see the pictures.
