Rusty - I am so glad that you are having fun. It sounds like a blast. I forget - what size wedding is it? Sounds big with all the relatives coming in! How nice that you have vacation. :yay:
I am so glad that your Mom is feeling well enough to enjoy the festivities. :welldone:

Pauly - what are you up to this weekend? How are the little cutie pies? They obviously take after their grandma.

Good morning and happy Saturday! It's going to be super hot here today!
[MENTION=2634]bird[/MENTION], wow, didn't see that coming, and I'm sorry for all the upheaval. Keep is posted? Is it possible that original deal could still pan out?

@Glassy, I'm in for July as well! I think it's a wonderful idea!
[MENTION=1214]Rusty[/MENTION], I know you're having a wonderful weekend and I can't wait to see pictures. You looked beautiful in your pic.

Nora and Pauly, what are you guys up to this weekend? I think I will go in the pool for a little. Long story, but last night we found out dad has a blood clot in his leg. They gave us a few options and we decided to keep him at the rehab and increase his blood thinners a bit. Of course that will set him back significantly with rehab.
[MENTION=5628]Nora[/MENTION], hope you're feeling chatty this weekend since Glassy probably isn't?

Oh Liz - sorry that they found a blood clot in your Dad's leg. Gee whiz. I hope that you can get some pool time in today.

We went to the grocery store this morning and we were stopped at a signal in the left turn lane. Suddenly a guy in a car two lanes over puts it in reverse and steps on it. He had decided he wanted to turn left and was backing up to get in my lane. Only problem is he didn't see us!!!! At the last minute, he saw us and stopped. Boy, were we in the right place at the right time. It could have been bad.
So, I'll take that as this is going to be a good day.

I'm glad that Glassie suggested the Dry July. To be honest, I have been really stressed out and alcohol doesn't always sound like a bad idea. :sad: Of course, I KNOW it's a bad idea and don't want to drink. But, it will be helpful to have positive reinforcement here.

I guess that Rusty is deep in the midst of wedding day. How fun. Good times.

Re: One Step at a Time - June 2018

Yes [MENTION=5628]Nora[/MENTION], I've had thoughts too and welcome positive reinforcement. SO glad that you guys are ok. That's just scary! Yes, I got into the pool albeit later than I wanted. I didn't just sit today but Mark hubby and I played around and had some fun. Sissys were texting back and forth and my phone was inside. They want to move dad to a nicer facility further for my mom to drive and further for me to drive, that's fine, but I'm thinking eventually mom won't be able to drive anymore and we'll be driving her back and forth (approximately 15 miles one way). We shall see what mom says. Too much going on right now. We have a tentative start date for mark in England 7/23:eek-new:

Re: One Step at a Time - June 2018

Wow - Liz. Lots going on. Really bittersweet with Mark leaving. I'm sure happy for him & the experience but sad to be away from him. Hubby & I were dreaming the other day of really being able to move to Australia or Canada. He would do it in a second. I said what about our son?!? He said - they can visit! Gee whiz.
My 2 cents - I totally get it about a nicer facility. But, you also need to think about how much time will you be able to spend with him if he's farther away. Like you said, your Mom won't be driving much longer. Just things to think about. I actually thought about going to check out a couple facilities today but didn't.
I need to at least look at them so I'll be ready if we need to make a change.

Well - I wish Pauly would check in. Hope Rusty posts some pics. I'm working on the baby blanket. I had put it away. I've got to get busy.
I'll be around if anybody wants to chat.

Re: One Step at a Time - June 2018

Oh - I guess I can just chat to myself. :rotlf:

My great niece is coming over tomorrow to bring her boyfriend. :welldone: Son & DIL will also come over. It will be fun. Her boyfriend is going away to college so don't know what the future brings there. I think they are enjoying every minute until he leaves.

Re: One Step at a Time - June 2018

Sorry Nora - can't chat.

Just popped in to check on you all. It's July here already - let's keep reminding each other!

[Lizann]

Re: One Step at a Time - June 2018

Chat away Nora, looks like it's just you and me. When exactly is DIL due? I haven't seen Logan in over a week. They are down in Delaware at her inlaws summer beach house. Logan is indifferent about the beach, but he loves the beach chairs, lol! I do miss them.
Have fun tomorrow Nora. Dan went away to school too and they were dating. We see how that ended. If it's meant to be, it will work out for your niece. Well I'm off to read a bit before bed. Wishing you all a great AF night,
