Looking forward to next week....


Our oldest son, Joey, and his wife, Darlene, will arrive on Wednesday.  We will head south and pick up Tristan next Friday, so he can spend time with his dad (and us).  It will be a good time for all, I think.  We don't make plans anymore, but enjoy 'going with the flow' and finding things to do as each day comes along.  

This photo was 3 years ago, but this is Darlene, Tristan, and son Joey

I will get the cleaning done and the guest rooms ready this weekend.  Next week will be busy, even without company.  Tuesday is the Museum's annual meeting, which starts at 5:30.  Wednesday, the kids show up.  Thursday, I need to be in Tampa all day, for a non-profit accounting seminar.  Friday, we get Tristan....

Sometime in between, I need to make a grocery list.  Darlene is vegan and very careful about her diet, though she will eat vegetarian (includes dairy) while visiting. Lots of fruit and vegetables, and I'll do pasta at least once.  They also like to eat out, and we know which restaurants offer vegan menus, so that works well.

I am anxious to put tomorrow behind me. My appointment for the biopsy is at 8:45 a.m.  Joe is going with me, bless him.  They told me it will probably take about two hours.  Seems like a long time.  I just want it done!  Thanks again for your prayers and kind thoughts. I will check in when we get home. 

Wishing you a good Friday!! The weekend is nearly here!!  Peace, love & hugs.

  4. I will also be thinking of you in the morning and I'm still praying for negative results.
    You will definitely be busy next week but time with the kids makes it all worthwhile. I know you'll have a great time. ♥

  8. Sometimes it gets a little tricky cooking for visitors when they're vegan or paleo or have several different allergies. Fortunately, it's a lot easier than it used to be, for more things are available and more restaurants cooperative.

    Nice photo. I told you that one of my favorite names is Tristan?

    I know you'll have a wonderful time. Good plan to go with the flow. Makes life easier, doesn't it.

  9. I am thinking that you are having your procedure right now and I pause to pray that God is with you and that the outcome will be a good one. I have had visitors this week and it is a chore and a blessing both. Always good to see those we haven't seen for a while. God Bless Terri...

  10. And I'm thinking that, hopefully at the time of writing this, your biopsy will have finished. Pray that the results are positive. You sure do have lots of things to keep you busy.

  11. I hope everything went well with your biopsy this morning, Terri. I am praying for you! I'm sure you are going to have an awesome visit with your son's family! My daughter, Lauren, is also vegan and I try to have a few options for her when we all get together. We have some really great restaurants that have an expanded menu with vegan and vegetarian selections on it. I love when she is okay with eating vegetarian..it is so much easier to come up with a recipe :-)
