HAPPY, HAPPY BIRTHDAY, MT! Hope you have one wonderful day!
Yes, weather up north has been worrisome, Harriet. DS-A & his little family are supposed to leave from Niagara Falls to Sanford, FL early this evening. But first they have to get to NF which is nearly 2 hours away from them. (Our airport is only 20 minutes.) But they got a great 'deal' on tickets on A llegiant airlines. Cost them $700, round trip for the 5 of them. Of course that means we have to be there to pick them up at 10pm or a little later. DD and I are spending the night at Disney & going to Magic Kingdom with them tomorrow. Praying for decent weather for them to be able to leave. We did a little grocery shopping for them yesterday for a few snacks and breakfast items. Trying to decide what to do with all that while we pick them up so they have the entire car for their baggage, stroller, etc. At least I assume they're bringing the stroller.
Yesterday turned out to be a wonderful day. Had church, followed by a Valentine party/potluck at church. Our friends (our pastor/wife from many years ago) from IN joined us at church & then the party. We were able to chat a lot there. After the party we went across the road to Mc Donald's. We sat there and chatted over a beverage for another 2 1/2 hours in a secluded spot. It was perfect. They were caught up in that storm/power outage just before they left IN in January. They spent the first night in their house under 10 layers & then went to his Mom's. Temp in the house then was 33 and down to 30 by the time they came back the next day. Only to find most of their downstairs flooded. Got the restoration team in and at least dried out before they left, but when they go back tomorrow have the rest of the repairs/restoration to look forward to.
Have to go over to dsisil's and give her her birthday card -her birthday was yesterday. She wanted me to go to lunch tomorrow with her and her 2 sisters. Told her I wouldn't be able to. So since her 1 sister also has Wed off, she asked about that. Ok with me if it's ok with them.
Dh sees the specialist at 3 today. Hoping roads are clear up there for that too. He said last night he wants to ask his GP to order his endoscopy before he comes back. (he's due this year). Wants to have it more for peace of mind. So hope insurance will allow them to do it now. Seems like they will since he's obviously having problems. Will post later when I (perhaps) know what the plan of action will be.
Thank you for all your kind thoughts btw.
