Good Morning Goddesses,
ducky, Oh my goodness, you and your daughters are beautiful! What a lovely family you have. Extremely good looking bunch - you must be so proud of them all. The snow looks cold - brrrrrrr. So sad when family moves away
jo, no way I'd wear a bathing suit. I've got 3/4 of a butt cheek on my left side, and the rest of me looks like a road map from surgery. Sundress and floatie sounds good to me - oh yeah, and a margarita!
badger, I've never been on a train. I think a train would be a hoot. There's just so much to do and so much to see. Actually any mode of transportation would be fun - except flying. I'm afraid to fly, although I have done it.

Slow.......thank you so much....I will have to post my sons.......
I am very proud.....they are all very successful
I flew for the first time to that wedding......petrified....but was sitting between my daughter (mother of the groom, and SIL) mother of groom was in green. but I did it......lol..........
Anyway we go is fine by me........as long as all us Goddesses are together............

ducky, I've flown a handful of times and each flight was horrible. Last flight was about 15 years ago. I flew to Washington State and they had whiteout conditions. I was so terrified. Luckily I was seated next to a wonderful little boy I didn't know. We played a small board game and that kept me distracted. I didn't want to show that I was terrified - didn't want to scare the kid. Haven't been on a plane since.

I love the train idea! Will have to find another way to PR ....
Great photos today!
Tossing stuff on the fire: spending 2 hours on the phone to get an appointment scheduled for next week. MO requested to see me early as Xeloda may not be working and it sure is making me miserable with SEs, so we need to have an honest discussion about options or lack thereof. Meanwhile, the phone system and scheduling system went down, so it took me 2 hours of repeatedly calling the number to get scheduled. But it is done. Now ready to have a wee dram of scotch by the fire! Anyone want to join me? Then will have to start thinking about shopping and packing ....

linda-n3, hope you find an alternative to Xeloda. Two hours to get through is crazy. No wonder you need a drink. My day was sucky too - I'll have one with you. Never had scotch but it's worth a try.

Ducky, thanks for sharing, what a NICE looking family! You rock the pink (sorry FireK, I know your feelings on the subject).
Linda, I'm in for a wee dram of scotch but none of the expensive single malt stuff, I like J&B.
I hate the airport but love to fly, it's a miracle. I'd take flying lessons if I wasn't such a chicken-chit. So I pretend, when I'm accelerating on the highway on-ramp, that I could maybe pull back on the sterring wheel and take off!
Agree, the how we get there doesn't matter as much as getting there and being together. ♥ to all

Blondie.......LOL, true.........
Fed up with this shit, and more coming tonight and tomorrow in the form of ice....
Ok, Fire you asked for the story................
Around 11am yesterday, my power went out......thought are you kidding me...just got over the leak from the Dec storm in my dining-room from the ice jam on the roof...(ranch house).....then a gutter ice jam from the 2nd storm.....leak in the breakfast room......then the ice jam in the washer drain off line, flooded 3 times in the breakfast room....
Then on Saturday night, my caps on 3 of my dental implants fell off............Sunday was fine, thought good its over........
Then the bullshit yesterday with the electric.............they said it would be on by 5:20pm.....after checkng again, they said it would be on by .......7am the next morning (meaning today)......ok, by now the house went from 70 to 62 degrees...............not bad......sweat pants, shirt, sweat shirt, socks, and uggs........kids know all about it..........offer to bring me to their house.......say no to all of them...........well, getting a little colder now, dark as shit, and temp in the house is now 58........still not bad...............well about this time the cell phone dies................still have a house phone......no big deal.................
Well now the house temp is 55.......at this point I put my full length fuzzy red robe on over top of the sweat pants, shirt, fuzzy shirt, socks, and uggs..................Now this robe has a hood, that is also fuzzy and red.............I have a "lantern" for light with a handle.......I look like Wee Winnie Winkle walking through the house in a hooded robe and a lantern........decide to make soup cause I am starving, and have to light the stove with a friggin match.......electronic pilot, right..........finally eat, and sit to play games on the IPad............Son calls, now he is pissed because no one came to get me out of the house.................I say "I don't want to leave the house"...........he calls his 3 sisters who live not too far from me.....one does not answer, the other is on the phone, and finally he gets one who says Ok, I will go get her.................so now he is pissed at his sisters cause one was on the phone and the other did not answer, and he lives the furtherest from me.....lol.........the final sister calls and says "be there in 15 minutes"...........NO, NO, NO, NO, don't dare come here I am not going with you.........leave my ass alone..............finally she agrees, and I ask her to tell the pissed off son, that I am at her house........................daughter says "I am not lying for you".............ok, that was the end until son calls again.........like a raving maniac.......says......I am coming.......I said "NO, NO,.........well around 11pm I finally go to bed after electric company says .......you will have elec by 11:30 after telling me at 9:30 we will have elec by 10pm.....around 11 I hear a truck pull up out front, and I am in bed all those frigging clothes on, including the robe, and thinking.................HOLY SHIT......that is the pissed off son, and he is going to drag my sorry ass, kicking and screaming, out the door and into his truck.....................thank God it was only the guys coming to shovel my whole house that he had told to come and do it.............phew...........fi'nally at 12:02 the elec. came back on.................and the heat.....
Ok, so why is my LE arm sore.................from having all the clothes on, including my fuzzy red robe, I could not move under the covers, kept getting stuck to the sheets, and the comforter was so heavy (never use it)...................I leaned on my LE arm to try to turn to the opposite side, and pressed so hard to try to move cause I could not budge being bogged down by clothes, and covers, I think I sprained my arm, and now I can't lift it...........LMAO, but it is painful...........Imagine......
My son called today.......still pissed, not at me at his brothers and sisters for not coming and making me go with them to their house..................they all asked.........I said .........NO..........told him that.......he said .......they should have come anyway...........
Oh,the final straw was when the oldest son who called earlier said he was coming to get me, and again "NO"........called at 11pm to see if I was ok...........he heard the house temp now is 50, and said Patti his wife (a nurse) was coming to get me...........said...........I will not answer the door............at that point, I lost my house phone...........LMAO, and thought..........really, what else can happen........lol.......thought........hey........NO Ipad internet, can't get me that way............cell is dead.........can't get me that way..........now the house phone just bit the dust...............their is a God..........they can't get to me now.........LOL, LOL, LOL,
That is my story..........long, but Fire you did ask..............and I am sticking with it..............LMAO......
Quiet today, all powers back, and waiting for the next ice storm coming tonight............still like winter Fire............lol
Oh yea......got a call from the pissed off son this morning.........said........we have 2 more storms coming........I am not depending on anyone to do anything..........I will be over to get you as soon as I hear how the weather is going to be.........DO YOU UNDERSTAND ME.............
Please God let it go up to 70 degrees...........your not funny God.........my kids will drive me friggin nuts..............especially "pissed off son"...........

What a pretty girl. Looks like your family got the good looking gene. I'm off to get my Herceptin infusion. Hope you ladies have a wonderful night.

Ducky, you have a beautiful family. You obviously provided those good genes!! So sorry you keep having weather issues-- this winter has been bad for so many people. Hope you have a heat wave soon- or maybe just temps above freezing for a while? We'll be packing and getting the broom warmed up for our trip. Stay warm!

Ducky, nobody tells it like you... (dot dot dot)
Love the pix. Wow...no wonder the climate is warming....all those kids and grandkids ... how many of each? great grands?
I thought I had a big family but only 7 grandkids for me...and my 2 sons do not have kids.
I remember your flight....so glad you went. The ultimate sacrifice with the death grip on the armrests for 2 hours....but at least you met your PILOT!!
Awesome that your Gd went to Superbowl. Great photo.Linda, I will join you for a drink by the fire. You are dealing with a lot and just know how much you are thought of and cared about. Hugs and prayers.
