We ate out Chinese one nite, Mexican one nite, Wedding reception at a Minneapolis downtown business-district restaurant, had 90 people in for an open house at my folks 50th celebration w/lots of fruits, veggies & cupcakes, birthday cake courtesy of my younger sis, lovely lovely midwest weather which never got above 80 degrees. It was like heaven to just sit outside & watch the birds & squirrels, fireflies at dusk, & just soak in the GREEN of Iowa w/o the expected heat & humidity!

Good visit, short enuf to enjoy - NO family histrionics or blowups (one of those kind of visits where everyone says-& means it-we need to do this again real soon, then remember why that's not a good idea!), extended family I haven't had a chance to see in like 6 years. Chance to just veg, visit, & relax. Got home to a card from D27 & SIL. They're taking us out to dinner & to see James Taylor at the Greek Theater in October to celebrate me joining the "over-the-hill" gang. Haven't gotten my "tadpole" pix yet, but they're due to get another sonagram next week so I should get both. So far so good, just nauseous & tired but awaiting the 2nd trimester & just beginning to show!!

Work tomorrow, back to Vegas Saturday & Monday to work on packing up MIL's house, HS registration & hopefully getting the leg cast off for S13 next Wednesday w/HS starting on the 18th, & final clothes & supply shopping & pack-up for S16 for checking into the uni dorms on the 20th. Got my books & trying to prep my brain for starting my uni classes the 26th.

Life goes on, but I do feel better.

Jo sounds like you had a pretty good time... and even able to breathe after it all!

how nice of the kids to get you tickets to see James Taylor... that will be fun... too bad you have to wait until Oct though.

Sounds like your dds pregnancy is coming along perfectly I bet you can not wait to get to see the pics!

glad that you are home now and able to get back to things... but one thought all that stuff you have to do maybe you ought to fit a little extra R&R time or you will be burned out!

Hugs, Lor

Oh my, Jo. You were in town and I've been so busy, I didn't even know it. It would have been fun to get together, but sounds like we were both too busy to work it in anyway. Glad you had a good trip though. Wow, can't believe school is starting already. Good luck with the classes. Charlie

p.s. Happy belated birthday, sounds like it was a good one.

Wow auntjo,

You certainly have a lot on your plate right now. Sounds like you found time for some good food and great company though.

Take care,

Rain
