- I was sad to learn that Bruce did not get to go fishing with his son, David, on Sunday. He was a little under the weather again, but was better yesterday and talking about going fishing. I think the fishing trip will happen, but it wasn't in the stars for Father's Day.
- I heard from my friend Fran, by email yesterday. She went to the doctor and got the tubes out and the binding off so she is feeling a little better. Having been off some of her meds for some other health problems, she is a little out of whack and still not feeling like company. I completely understand and I think anyone who has had major surgery understands. Your prayers are appreciated for her and for KS!
- I'm getting very excited for our beach vacation/family reunion!! I would love to be able to afford to get everyone a personalized beach towel to commemorate our get-together, but since I don't have an extra few hundred dollars for something like that, I ordered button kits to make a commemorative button for everyone. I don't expect them to wear them, but I will at least have some little thing with our names and the dates on it.
- Our son, Jeff, called on Father's Day. He is buying a new car (much needed) and he had plane information for us so we can pick him up for the beach vacation. We are thrilled that he is coming down for it!! Joe and Darlene are also planning to come. They are driving over with the pups and will have to stay at another hotel since the one we picked for the reunion doesn't allow pets. Did I mention that I am excited about the beach vacation? There will be 29 of us, which has grown by one just this week. Who knows how many more....
I think that's it for today. Busy at work, which isn't all bad. We are taking our neighbor, Sheila, out to eat tomorrow night for her birthday (which was last week, but she was on vacation). We will be watching our cat-neighbors' cats this week while they go on a little excursion with some of their family. We enjoy helping and appreciate their help so much when we travel. They have three cats too: Bonnie, Murphy and Millie.
Thanks for checking in! Peace & hugs.
Oh my, I would be excited about a beach vacation with my family, too. How nice of you to want to give each of them something to remember the trip. You're so very thoughtful. So glad we're blogging friends. Hope your day is blessed.
ReplyDeleteToo bad about the cancelled fishing trip, but just the possibility of going fishing must cheer Bruce up a bit. I think your idea of the buttons is a good one and hope to see some photos of people wearing them. I pray that your friends' health continues to get better, and, of course, have a good day.
ReplyDelete{chanting} beach, beach, beach, beach (giggling)---have fun--can I sneak in the suitcase (more giggles).
ReplyDeleteI am sorry to read that about Bruce, happy to read that about Fran. I certainty can understand both. Recovering from breast cancer and argumentation/reduction, took a lot of time for me to recover from.
Have a Blessed Tuesday, thanks for the smiles. Blessings
Aww that's a shame about Bruce. Hopefully he gets to go soon.
ReplyDeleteBeach reunion sounds fun. Buttons are a great idea. Small enough to fit in crammed suitcases and a nice little memento to take home.
Have a great day!
So sorry Bruce didnt get to go fishing, but maybe soon. Will continue to pray for Fran. I know you are excited about the reunion, and I hope you have a grand time. The button idea is one they will like I am sure. You are so creative. Have a cool Tuesday.
ReplyDeleteVery jealous of your beach vacation/family reunion! A beach reunion sounds amazing and so much fun! Hope y'all have fun and make tons of memories!
ReplyDeleteSounds like some big excitement coming up Terri! How fun and what a crew!! I come from a big family too (only 1 brother but both my folks from big families) and it's so fun when everyone is together. Prayers for a wonderful reunion and for your friend that is recovering.
ReplyDeletePS: Love the button idea!! xoxo
A family vacation! How fun! What beach are you going to? I'm way behind reading here, so perhaps you've already said. Any beach is good in my book : )
ReplyDeleteJoyce, we are all gathering over at St. Pete Beach and are staying at the Beachcomber Resort. I'm so excited that my cousins are all coming. Haven't seen some of them since my brother's funeral more than 10 years ago. A happy occasion this time!
DeleteOh. My. Goodness. If I had 29 people coming together on a beach vacation, I would just take lots of pics and go home with the wonderful memories. What a blessing! Maybe you could have a group pic framed for everybody to have as a keepsake. Have fun.
ReplyDeleteA cat named Millie - I love it!!! I know you will have a wonderful time at the beach. Have a wonderful evening.
ReplyDeleteSorry about Bruce! Hope that trip happens soon.
ReplyDeleteThe beach vacation is going to be wonderful!
Love family vacations and I think the 'buttons' are a great idea! Love the name 'Jeff', maybe because it was my Daddy and brother's name!
