This is a nice thread for us oldie LOL--I'm in my mid 60's so i think (I know) that qualifies me. I do enjoy my retirement now, I had to retire, but I see my kids and grandson much more and I love every minute of it. And chrissy, I love that picture.

Morning all.
Thanks for the birthday wishes Chrissy, its tomorrow actually but today is DGS's first birthday. He is be one - hard to believe. Took is first steps yesterday when he was here then when DD arrived back we had him walking between us. He would take a few steps then sit down, clap and laugh. Just delightful.
Tomorrow will have all my children here for dinner which they are cooking. DS is home on holiday and has said he and DGF will be back about September. It's so good to have them around.
Must go and get my cup of tea

I'm another "oldie" - 60 - with a teenage daughter (14!) I just found this thread and hope you don't mind my jumping in. I read the first page and then skipped to the last, so I have obviously missed a lot.
I see tomorrow is your birthday, Alyson, hope you have a wonderful day with all your family around!

LOL Can't believe I did that. Must be a new manifestation of my dyslexia. I knew it was Alyson. I was thinking Alyson but it was your picture in my visual range.
So, Happy Birthday Alyson!

Chabba I do that exact same thing. LOL Ginger

I'm still watching basketball tonight and loving it, especially since my team won tonight. Barely, but they go on to the Elite 8. I do love college basketball!

Not quite 25th here yet, about 3 hours to go but thanks for the birthday wishes.
We had a lovely afternoon for Sam and he showed off his walking skills for us, about 8 steps now, so cute. And he then claps and laughs. The cake was the best and he loved the chips - oh dear not meant to have them but it was his birthday. Presents not too bad either.
Hope you have had a wonderful day 3Jays.
Big hugs to all.

Happy Birthday,3Jays. And again to you, Alyson.....for some reason I was so sure it was Thursday.
Spent most of yesterday doing scans and am very proud of myself for NOT calling to find out what my tumor markers were.....figure I will get the news about everything next week and just in case they went up, I did not want to be worrying about that because I have to spend all of today working on my income taxes.
It is rainy here, but still quite warm.....flowers and trees are blooming early and it looks like the crepe myrtle we planted made it through the winter.....I was worried because the guy didn't dig a very deep hole for it.
When's the knee surgery, Chrissy?
Have a good weekend, everyone. Marybe

Hey Marybe! Good for you for being a good girl and not calling for your results!..........lol........I know that's really hard to do. Here's hoping that the numbers are down and the scans show regression! YOur weather is warming up and ours is cooling down..........where has the year gone!
The surgery is next Friday so not long to wait now. I have the ECG on Monday as well as the bloods and then just the community nurse and packing the suitcase ready to be up early on Friday morning so I can have breakfast and take my pills by no later that 6.45am and then head off to the city around 8.30 or 9.00. I have a couple of things to do, like pick up my external memory from a friend who is loading it with movies, TV series and books and then drop off my extra stuff at my DD2's place so it's there when I return to her house as well as my jewellery, wallet, phone and computer so she can bring them to the hospital for me on Saturday. Admission time is 12.30pm
3jays I'm so glad you got to celebrate your birthday even if it was a bit early.
Alyson those babies are just so darn cute I want to grab them and smother them with kisses!......lol
Hope everyone has a great day!
Love n hugs. Chrissy

3jays: Happy Birthday to you!! Hope you have a wonderful day!
Alyson: Cute kids....they look so happy! At that age they are learning something new every day and it is so much fun to watch them grow.
Went to visit DGD yesterday. She wants me all to herself, so when I begin visiting with the other family members, she politely takes my hand and says "come gammaw" and takes me into the bedroom, closes and tries to lock the door! Everyone gets a big kick out of it.

LOL Kaara that is just too precious!!! Sounds like you are extremely special to her.

Chrissy, I wish I had an EXTERNAL MEMORY too!!!! Where do you get one????? There are some things I'd like to forget, so I'd leave those out of my head forever!
Lovely pic of the grands Alyson..holy cow, so cute!!!
Isabella, were you off having back surgery maybe??
0 -
Barbe my real external memory is my two DD's..............they never let me forget anything!!..............even the things I want to forget!!!..........lol
The one I have to pick up is for the computer but it would be nice to be able to 'download' the things in our head when it got too full!.................lol

I got a letter from the hospital yesterday, to tell me to be sure and be in the hospital, for my back surgery @ 7am, this coming Thursday, 29th !!!
OMG, our system sure is crazy. I am still waiting on a pre-op examination. I got a letter from pre-op nurse to say I would be called in for the exam. AFTER April 1st, and surgery would then follow within six weeks !!! Maybe they're playing an April Fool joke on me !
I tried to ring the surgeons secretary to explain that, once again, they'd got things inside out, but there was a recorded message saying she was away on holiday.
Still very busy here. I am helping DH move back to his house today, yee haw !!!! I haven't had a minute to myself for nearly a month....now I just need to put furniture back where it belongs, and tidy up...then back to MY way of life again.
Isabella.

Yay Isabella!!!! It would be nice for you to be able to have the op on Thursday........maybe they will schedule you for your pre-op on Tuesday...........fingers, toes, eyes and anything else that can be crossed is crossed for you! Sometimes you have to really wonder about bureaucracy and it's workings.............lol . Enjoy your peace and quiet!
