So beautiful Deb,
And Debbie I never knew that about you! Thank you for sharing
My friend and I just got back from drinking way too many beers, and discussing "girl things" so it just goes to show, that even though she is healthy, "It's always something" as Gilda Radner said.

Debbie - you've been to cancer hell and back! I seem to remember you mentioning something about needing oxygen...quite a long time ago. No wonder you also grab life's every moment!

Great photos of a wonderful surprise! Deb, your DD looks so much like you in these.
Adorable!0 -
Michelle- I always feel bad to even say anything because you have gone through so much and continue to do so and many other women on here, so i don't like to say much. I hope this is the right thing to say but i admire your strength and courage.
Bedo- I still laugh when i think about your air conditioning moment lol!
Carrie- How are you feeling, better i hope.

nice nice pictures Deb.
We could probably start a whole forum about inlaws. who are these people we are 'married' to and must converse with and put up and change sheets for. (MY sis in law - I'll call her JEAN) brings her grandkids and kids and lets them run free. They were getting ready to leave and I said " OK time for suitcase inspection" they looked at each other and we adults watched as they opened their suitcases. they insisted i had given them all the stuff in there.. clocks, clothes, knick knacks, pens. I had a whole suitcase full of stuff they stole left behind. All the snacks and candy i had bought for their dining pleasure.. JEAN insisted that i had set them up, (not).. i just happened to catch one of them steal money from my dresser.
A few years will go by, I'll happen to die, and they'll ask if they can spend the nite.
the adults talked about making pigs drink vodka, then slaughtering the pig and draining the blood without letting the vodka leave the meat..
seriously.

Holy crap, Apple! I hope your DH doesn't allow these insensitive, abusive "family" to spend any time in your home, ever again. I cannot even fathom such inexcusable behavior!
Debbie - I am quite sure our friend Apple here has been through more BC crap than I've yet experienced. Not that we need to make comparisons... but don't discount what you've been through. Mine has just been compacted into two years.
I am guessing we'll hear from Laurie that they went through some nasty thunderstorms yesterday. We drove into Boston for the BBQ event, and about 20 minutes before we got there, the sky opened up. And it poured buckets. So we ended up parking near Faneuil Hall, eating at McCormick & Schmicks because we could get a table in 20 minutes, and then walking over to the North End for dessert. Not exactly what we had planned, but a very pleasant night, nonetheless. The rain stopped during dinner, the air dried out and it was a beautiful evening. But the storms were still hitting the Concord area according to the radar. So I'm betting that Laurie and her family spent most of the evening inside their trailer.

Deb: Very nice photos! Are you on facebook too? I'll try and find you.

Wow, it sounds like those storms did really play havoc around Boston last night. But it sounds like your evening ended up wonderfully, Michelle.
We never had much thunder and lightening here in the lakes region, but managed to have an unplanned soaking experience on our way to a play. As we approached the theatre (with ten minutes to spare, which is fine in my book, but not enough in DH's!) there was a police detail turning traffic around because a fire hose was laying across the street, being used to put out a fire in a building up the hill. From what we could tell, there was no quick way to circumvent this fire scene and make it to the show on time (My bad!!) DH had a rare show of frustration about my not allowing for such unexpected occurrences, and I was determined that we would not miss the show (lest I have to listen to that...). So, I (the driver) quickly turned into the remote end of a restaurant parking lot (ignoring the "non-patrons will be towed" sign), and we ran several blocks to the theatre. Oops! The sky opened up and we got drenched to the skin. I kept my mouth shut but dreaded sitting in this usually chilly theatre for two hours. Good news....the play was so hilarous that I forgot I was wet until intermission. Continued to dry out during the second act.....:) The remaining question is will I ever allow more time for such unexpected events. Hmmmmm.
Off to brunch.......0 -
Lacey: What was the show? I've enjoyed a subscription to a theater here that performs 'off broadway' plays & we've renewed for another year.
Fresh raspberries & peaches w/my breakfast cereal. Canteloupe & three bean salad for lunch. And my same dinner again - tomatoes & more tomatoes. At the store yesterday the Klondike bars were crying inside the freezer. When I opened the door to check if they were OK, they jumped into my basket. (can't you just see Mr. Bill saying "Ohh Nooo"?) So there's my dessert.

Apple: What a horror story. Families are always a challenge. At age 14, my nephew, whom I hadn't seen since age 4, walked into the funeral home for my Mother's viewing and said - 'so where are the keys?" When I asked what in the world he was talking about he said "So since Grandma's dead she won't need a car, so it's mine now." Needless to say he didn't get the keys. Or the car, since my Dad was still alive and driving. I'm happy to say I eventually gifted the 20 year old car to the woman who had helped take care of my parents for 15 years.

apple - Good Lord! When the in-laws start stealing I will start locking them out, lol! Your suitcase story was pretty amazing - I gotta give you props for checking - you must have known you would find stuff they were taking! My relationship with my SIL is basically just distant, both geographically and emotionally - that is the problem with retrieving the family items.
We are getting hammered by rain from Hurricane Debbie here - the dog didn't even want to go out in it!

Those in-laws would never be allowed back...no matter "the cost".
Eric0 -
Ditto to that Eric.

Apple... yikes indeed !!?

I made sourdough whole wheat pancakes for breakfast. All are happy. Even the dogs...they are licking the bowl.
Sharon is smiling bit....finally....so her SEs are dimenishing. Still not much energy though.
Not many in laws here. 3 total for the two of us.....my brother is in China....so really it is just our two moms.

Minus, the play was The Complete History of America (Abridged), and it provided a laugh a minute with three very high energy actors and some hysterical interplay with the audience. We've been going to this particular theatre, the Winnipesaukee Playhouse in Laconia, NH for about six years, and they do a totally professional job, with actors from NYC. I had read nothing about this play beforehand, and was so pleasantly surprised, especially after our soaking snafu on the way there.
Had brunch at a little bakery/deli/restaurant, Cornucopia, here in Bristol, where for a very small price you get a lot of food. I overindulged (after all, I did sprint to the theatre last night). Audrey, the owner, makes the best chocolate croissants, which I could not resist, along with a buttermilk pancake and blueberry maple syrup, bacon, and a veggie omelet. Topped it all off with some watermelon and a few local strawberries which were so sweet! Maybe this wouldn't sound so bad if I included what I did NOT have....apple turnovers, home fries, biscuits and gravy, sausage patties, and red hash.....
Audrey is a nutritionist and as she put it, once a month she does this brunch since everyone can have a little treat that often. She barely has any fat on her!
The "outlaw" issue can be tough, and I would definitely have a serious problem re-inviting ones who let their kids run wild, let alone help themselves to my things.0 -
Oh dear, I think I am very much in need of a chicken cutlet after seeing how I look in my bathing suit. I suppose that will mean getting a suit that accommodates it. Well, DH is waiting at the beach so I'll just brave it and talk to neighbors with my arms folded.

Deb, I loved your pics. Apple, unbelievable. Geesh. I have had a niece (adult) take my pain pills, and confronted her about it. She is in counseling now. But removing stuff in suitcases and then saying you gave them stuff? Whn you are right there? Wow, you are a very strong woman.

Wow - just had a tornado come through the neighborhood! And what do I do? Post on BCO! It knocked over trees, and took out a number of pool cages. For those without Florida experience, we mostly have screened cages enclosing our pools - like a screened in patio or lanai but it covers the whole pool area. A number of them have blown off the pools and are in the woods or out in the street! DD says it flattened a path right through the woods and you could track the damage as it came through. It stopped just short of our house, but did take shingles off our roof and flattened some plants. We have water up to the doors and it is supposed to keep raining for the next three days - yikes!

SpecialK: OMG..I didn't even know there was a tropical storm anywhere near Florida..we get little to no news up in this area about Florida unless it is going to threaten NC. Bad weather like that can really do damage to those pool and screened enclosures...we now have the hurricane type enclosure, but I'm sure the screens would blow out in a bad wind. Glad you are safe.

kaara - this is from Hurricane Debbie that is out in the Gulf. It is spawning tornadoes around New Port Richey, Odessa, right over by Moffitt Cancer Center on the campus of USF, and a number of areas moving east. They are expecting 24" of rain over the next couple of days here. I am supposed to have a skin cancer removed tomorow over at USF - but maybe not...

Wow, SpecialK, so glad to learn you are safe after such a close call. It seems that tornadoes are everywhere these days, and capriciously brutal in their travel paths.

Tornado?! I am glad you are safe SpecialK- good luck tomorrow, I hope you still able to get it removed.
So.....we are back! I had no cell or Internet the entire weekend, which is a first for me, lol! We had a great time and the haddock on the grill Saturday night came out amazing. So what if we ate it in the camper in the pouring rain, right? We were actually all at the pool when they came over a speaker and told us the pool was closed and please go back to your campers as severe storms were coming in. As we road our bikes back you could hear the thunder....I was VERY nervous. But we got everything under cover and the thunder storm never came. It poured for about an hour and a half but that was it. We actually had the presence of mind to get our fire going before the storm came in and it survived the rains and we were one of the few that had a nice fire all night. Stayed up late chatting with friends and enjoying some wine.
We got back around lunch time and invited the neighbors down for a swim once we unpacked and passed the afternoon with them. For dinner tonight is what was left from camping:) Boys had cheeseburgers and DH and I used the left over bacon for BLT's. Nice and easy. I think we will all be going to bed early tonight. But maybe not- as always, it feels great to be home! Hope everyone else doing well and had a wonderful weekend!

Michelle- Thats one of the hundreds of things i love about you, you are always thinking of someone else. ((smiles))) Sounds like you had a wonderful night rain or shine.
Apple- That's horrible that you can't even trust your inlaws in your home. I applaud you for catching them red handed. Years ago i had some so called friends stay with us, and i wanted to check there suitcases while they were in the bathroom but was afraid i would get caught and look like the thief. LOL! I had a candle and some glass globes missing which i loved, needless to say i never called them back.
Lacey- I can just picture what you went through trying to get to the play. On the good side, your car wan't towed when you got back.
Specialk- Omg, how horrible, i would of been scared out of my wits. Do you have a basement? Just glad you are safe! Hope everything is ok with your skin cancer, and they get it all.
Laurie- Glad you are back home and safe and the storms didn't get as bad as anticipated.
Lets see, they have Debbie downer, hurrican Debbie, Debbie does dallas (lol) Why not Debbie Sunshine or something positive!
Hate when that happens!! sorry!
