I enjoy being near the water that leads to the ocean. It does my soul good.
I second that remark, Kathryn. Would love to drive up that way next summer -if only I can get dh to take off a weekend when there's not a 'special event' here or one of the dgs's aren't racing.
Fish & chips sounds really good.
Tonight's smorgasbord was sumptuous tonight.
In the area of 'best laid plans'......dgd16 couldn't go tonight because she was babysitting -knew that yesterday so took her out for a burger. Knew DDIL#1 had to work 4-midnight. Downhill from there (but I'm ot disappointed at all). I texted ddil#2 to make sure all was ok there for tonight. DS-A called me immediately to say that he had told dh a couple of weeks ago that they wouldn't be able to make it today. That was fine -I thoroughly understood and dh forgot to tell me. (also understandable). So called DS-R to make sure it was okay with him dgs6. Was at that point. Pretty soon he called to ask if I'd be really upset if dgs went with some friends to other dgs's race. That too was fine. Now we were down to dh, ds-R and dgs18. Took my dishes to church and went in past the city to pick up dgs18. Got to his driveway and he didn't answer his phone. Called a few times & he finally called me back. He wasn't even home. He'd missed the part about my picking him up at 4:30 and had been trying to find a ride with someone else.
Ended up we just decided to skip it. I was still not disappointed and it actually made things easier on the back end for dh and me. Another couple from here who were to meet us there and called late that they both were ill. I have done nothing but laught about the 'best laid plans'. Next year I guess it's back to maybe a Sunday night dinner of pizza or something.
DH did dishes for a little over an hour and I ran to W mart to get light bulbs for our outside light.
Not sure I thanked Harriet for that info and anyone else who weighed in. Bottom line is I know I need to drink a lot more than I have been.
DH is putting down all the seats for me tomorrow and I'll start loading the car -except for the things he needs to load for me. He's truly been on a dead run all day and is exhausted tonight.
Thinking of those of you stuck with all that snow today/tonight.
