So glad
Mr. Dee is home and I hope he has a restful night -- and you, too,
Dee! (((HUGS)))
WOW -- at
Harriet's dniece! I am sure I couldn't do that -- and if I had the strength, I'd probably still chicken out before I got to the top!
That reminds me -- I wanted to tell y'all -- dgs did the zip line at the Braves game! PLEASE FORGIVE ME IF I ALREADY TOLD Y'ALL THIS!
DH said he had never been so surprised in his life.
DDIL wanted to do it, and did, by herself. It was probably about 20 feet high at the starting point, but you went up stairs in an enclosed tower to get to the top. Then it gradually sloped down to the bottom.
Well, dgs is never one to try anything new and potentially scary; he is very cautious, generally speaking, but as we were about to go to our seats, he said, "I think I want to do one more thing..." and we asked what, and he almost whispered: "the zip line. If someone will do it with me."
DDIL tried to talk him out of it -- it's awfully high... I can't ride WITH you, just alongside you... you're not going to get up there and change your mind, are you?
No, no, he wanted to do it...
And you had to weigh 45 pounds to ride. I didn't think he weighed that much, but lo and behold, they weighed him and he came in at 46 pounds. (DH said probably a heavy thumb on the scales, so they wouldn't lose that $5, LOL).
Off they went, and when they came down, he said, "I LOVED IT!"
He added that he WAS scared, but "I used my courage. Courage means you're scared but you do it anyway."
Can't help but be a little proud, b/c that was what I told him when he was scared to jump off the diving board.
Of course, I would NEVER do the zip line OR the diving board, but that's another story.We were so excited for him.
LOL,
Nancy!
So glad ds9/10? is having such a fun day, LadyM!

Waving to

Okay... are y'all sitting down? Y'all will not BELIEVE what I am doing!
DH has been having really terrible night sweats for several weeks...
and I have not changed the sheets in ... several weeks...
so I told him I would DEFINITELY do that today.
Came home from errands w/dmom around 2:30 and started in on that.
I have now (or at least soon will have) washed EVERY. SINGLE. PIECE. OF. CLOTH. in the bedroom -- from the
curtains to the
dust ruffle to the
mattress pad to the
quilt-bedspread.
EVERYTHING.
I am vacuuming high/low/behind as much as possible, AND I turned the KING SIZE mattress head-to-toe ALL BY MYSELF.
We should sleep better tonight, don't you think?
I am a little impressed with myself, I must say.
