Good morning to everyone!
DH is watching baseball (a double header today, so I know where he will be all day.)
I got my clothes together for the trip yesterday -- and of course he already had HIS ready to pack -- so that's done. All I "have to" do today is get dmom's medicines to her. She said she would come out here, but if not, I'll have to go out to her house. She forgot to bring the empty dispensers last week, so I can't fill them up in advance.
But that's no big deal -- so I'm just starting out my day a little lazy (again.)
Answered an email from my aunt (wanting ds's address and their birthdays) and I'm thinking from the tone of that email that my cousins aren't planning any big blowout for the holiday. She didn't mention it anyway and I suspect the weather being so "iffy" would have something to do with that. Cousins are not her children -- this was the aunt with no children -- but cousins always include her and my uncle with their get-togethers. I wouldn't be surprised if cousins are together at the home of the oldest, who has a pool, but I suspect there is nothing real organized going on. Anyway -- as much as I like to be included, I'm kinda glad to have nothing to do today but rest in prep for vacation. Vacations are always kinda exhausting for me, LOL.
So glad you and your dd had a nice drive and some quiet time together,
blessed! So nice of you to help out that family at the beach!

Harmony))) OUCH! Isn't that the way -- things always happen when medical people are all out of pocket! Hope you can get the pain eased soon.
(((BIG HUGS)))
We had a big rain/thunderstorm yesterday, and we're under a flash flood watch till Wednesday morning -- but our house is on a bit of a hill, no worries really here. OTOH -- Atlanta is under a flash flood watch till Wed morning also, soooo... I'm suspecting a lot of rain delays are in our future.
* sigh *
Must remember to pack ponchos, etc...
And magazines.
I saw video of the terrible flooding in the Smokey Mts at Dollywood, and in Maryland, near Baltimore.

Lynlee! I'm enjoying seeing you and Kasalia posting. LOL -- y'all are kinda on my same time clock -- except when I get up, I can't say it's the next day.
I know what you mean,
Harriet -- people do not understand how to "do" Memorial Day around here either. I know the American Legion post does hold a memorial ceremony at the courthouse square. Fortunately, neither I nor dh have lost anyone in our families to war (since the Civil War, that is) but dh has always been very particular about that Memorial Day is not the same as Veteran's Day... and certainly not the same as Independence Day. It should be a "quieter" kind of holiday.
Waving to
LadyM and
Kathryn!
Waving to
ALL!
OH --
LadyM -- just saw your last post. You are exactly right -- if you take your dmom's keys, then you have to -- at least you need to -- have a plan in place for how she will get around. This is why we never took dmil's keys -- although several people advised us to do so. It is a big decision to make. I cannot imagine taking dmom's keys. (((HUGS))) for you and your family while y'all negotiate through this difficult decision.
