Debbie sending prayers your way for your dad. I am glad even though your step mother is not your favorite person she is taking care of your dad and working well with you.
Last night was the open house get together for DS#1 pre school, he starts next week. We had steak tips rice and zucchini for dinner. I was not in the mood for any of it! LOL, I ate enough to be full and moved on with the night. Tonight he has soccer at 5:30 so I actually bought a frozen bake and rise pizza for dinner tonight's dinner. We will have that with salad when we get home at 6:45 ish. This sports thing on a week night is nuts. My kids are usually fed and in jammies by 7. It's too early to eat before we go and seems late to eat when we get back if I have to cook something. I will have to break out the crock pot next week.
Deb- hope you are having an amazing trip!
Michelle- Win big and have a blast!
Bedo- 5 ice cream bars for dinner?! Wow! Although I will add good for you!!

Hello All I'm back!
We had a wonderful, marvelous, fantastic time. In the beginning there was jet lag, but got over it. I got tired of living out of suitcases but that's over. I had absolutley no internet as we did not bring our lap top, just made the limit on the suitcases.
The wedding was out of this world, the weather was pretty good, the sun managed to break at just the right moments for pictures outside and only sprinkled a few times. I will post some pictures as soon as I download them. I was not able to take too many at the wedding but the countryside, ruins, landscape is awesome. Compared to Europe, we are still infants when it comes to ancient ruins they are thousands of years old
The food is so different and high in fat. Fish & Chips which is a crispy battered catch of the day, usually Haddock or Cod, chips are just steak fries here, bacon sandwiches whichs is like a dry Canadian bacon, bacon wrapped sausages, pork stuffed with goats chees wrapped in parma ham, I tried chunky wedges of brie covered in breadcrumbs and dunked in the fryer till goey and golden, it was yummy, I am sure I gained the weight I lost. OH yes, lots and lots of pubs and I got hooked on the beer called Black Sheep. Google - A FULL ENGLISH BREAKFAST, holy mackerel is that loaded with fat. LOL

Laurie- I bet you will have mixed emotions on DS starting school. I know I did I cried then I was kind of happy too! lol! But the time passes by so quickly wish I would of taken more time to enjoy every single second with her.
Michelle- Hope you are winning big!!! And having fun too!
I have been some what of a clean freak all week, didn't know i had it in me. Today I Cleaned drawers out rearranged my clothes in my closet. Went through all my old papers I have saved for years that I am not sure why but threw them away. Did windows and blinds pulled some weeds outside. It is so beautiful here today no wind and about 70 just perfect.

Grrr....
The doctor called about her cheek lump biopsy results. He wants to see her on Tuesday, but would give her no hint as to the type of news he will be giving.
Sigh

It has been a very special birthday. It started out with a text from my brother waiting for me when I woke up and phone calls from well wishers all day long. Even though he can only speak in a labored and difficult to understand whisper, DB even called me and tried to sing Happy Birthday. DH took me to dinner, had the captain's plate with creme breule (sp?) for dessert.
And now to top off a great day, all the wonderful birthday wishes from all of you are the perfect icing on the cake. Thank you so much.

Happy Birthday Chabba! So glad you had a wonderful day!
Eric, sorry you have to wait longer on the scan results for your wife. Keeping my fingers crossed for you and sending you good thoughts and wishes.
The food was only so-so, but had a wonderful dinner with Michelle and her DH last night. My DH commented on how bubbly Michelle is. She is definitely the dynamo everyone here knows and loves. Good wishes to her on Friday with her first chemo tx.

Debbie, that was Stepmom! Darn auto correct. I went back to edit it, but left it there too. LOL! Of course maybe the stroking had something to do with the , um not alarm clock. LOL

Good morning all! Looks like it's been a busy thread...I've been traveling to Florida and am now visiting kids and grandkids with little time to spare..lol! I only have a short week here so have to make the most of it! Saturday is DGD's birthday...she will be three.
Lots of flooding here in S. Florida, but for the most part, Isaac blew by and was a big rain event.
Too many pages to read through, so will wish everyone well and catch up later!

Chabba that had to be the best birthday present ever, to think that all he is going through and he took the time and energy to think of you on your birthday...awesome.
Remember the conversation about peppadews? Well, last night a friend made stuffed sausage peppadew appetizers with some sort of tangy flavor that he would not disclose...very good....and now I can say I have had a peppadew. We also had wings, ceasar salad with chicken and one with salmon, calamari, and a bread with tampanade on top. This as all done by the restaraunt at the marina that our friend from out of town is renting a boat slip from (really cheap) so he wanted to repay the owner by giving him lots of business. So he invited all of us usual "wed. humpers" and foot the bill for this whole spread and several bottles of wine. We had the whole lower deck to ourselves and had a blast...ha ha as usual!
Ok now I have to pull a "Debbie" and clean this house in prep for the kids arriving.

DH talked to our neighbor today and our house and property were not damaged by Isaac. The neighbor's son takes care of our yard while we're away during the summer, and he will have all the debris and branches cleaned up by the time we get home the first of Oct.
It's very disturbing for us to see the pictures on the weather channel of local towns in our area with flooded homes and streets. Oh, I just got a text from my younger sister. She has 8 to 10 in. of water in her house. She has lived in this house at least 35 years and the water has never gotten this high before. So ironic that Isaac was a weak storm and has caused so much water damage.

carole - so sorry to hear about your sister's house - I was afraid this would happen! I am glad there is not the widespread devastation like during Katrina, but to those individuals affected it feels the same.
deb - welcome back - glad you had fun!
Everybody sounds busy - I am sitting here like a lump! I am making meat loaf for dinner - it is a pretty great recipe using beef/pork/lamb, mixed with italian bread crumbs, scallions, garlic, eggs/milk, spices, then topped with bacon slices. Last 15 minutes glazed with a mixture of dry mustard, chili sauce and br. sugar. DH's favorite! Also having steamed broccoli with lemon pepper and a sprinkling of parmesan and butternut squash risotto.

I've been watching the news too.
For my third job....In September I'm on call for disaster deployments (storms, flooding, fires, earthquakes, man made disasters, etc.).
I'm hoping it's a quiet month.
I'm the engineer geek for one of many Public Health Service portable hospitals.

I want to thank all of you again who expressed concern for my brother. He died quietly with his wife at his side this morning at 11:30 am.

Hi everyone! I am having a good time here in Atlantic City although the slots are not being very generous. Tonight we are heading to a new casino resort for dinner and some fun (Revel).
Here's the picture of Kay and I from Tuesday night. So both our DH's were taking pictures at the same time, looks like we were both looking at Kay's DH's phone instead of mine...lol. And my DH takes every picture with lots of head-space...must be because he's so tall. Speaking of tall, standing next to Kay made me feel tall, and I'm barely 5'2". She is a tiny little thing! Either that or my hair is bigger, which is a distinct possibility! These curls are getting unruly!!! We had a great time and it was so nice to meet another one of my BCO sisters.
Chabba - glad you had a happy birthday and I hope you celebrate all week!
Tomorrow is my big day - Day 1 of the Clinical Trial. We have to be at Dana Farber at 2:30, so we'll be leaving here early in the morning. I'm glad to get the show on the road...not liking leaving this nasty cancer unattended!
Carole - glad your property is OK, sorry to hear about your sister's place. I can't even begin to imagine having that much water in my home!
