Whoa.....sandy, water-logged luggage -- sounds like MY kind o' holiday.. . ...!

[WardGirl]

FANTASTIC!! :D So great that you guys met up... . . .we need an Official Report of Minutes, please.... .. ..

We talked a bit about Suzzie's dogs and her cat. We also discussed why she's not been on the board and good old politics. And the most important thing we talked about was our trip and how it came about

If your Grand Tour takes you to KC, let me know! I can talk about my dog, too!

[psawyer]

KC could work.

We're in Arizona tonight, in a city with 28,000 residents. Limited food options, but we choose a steak place from the AAA book and check it out on the 'net. Family-owned business.

So we are seated, and the server is ready to take our order. I start into my queries, mentioning wheat. Well, she asks if I am a celiac, because she is too. We talked a bit about it. I felt completely safe in her hands. Good food and great service.

I can talk dogs, cats... . . . ...I owned a horse as a young girl....couple 'o birds....

Boy, what an exciting lot of chatter you'd have with me..... ...

Seriously, POeter -- if you and Jacquie are heading back across the border into southEASTERN Ontario, PLEEEEASE come to the nation's capital! Cannot remember whether you were born here or moved here as a youngster......We'll have you out gallivanting around all the lovely spots.....

The journey west continues. Want some salt? Taken at the Bonneville Salt Flats in Utah Tuesday morning.

That's WardGirl in the pic.

Wow, you guys were so lucky to find a Tia Chi class in the salt flats like that! What are the odds on that? Wow!

Arizona!

WardGirl drove up the 5.5 mile ascent on a very rough track that was barely a road--her first real 4x4 off-road experience. Slow going--with stops it took about an hour for the climb.

More Arizona tomorrow, but tonight we had gluten-free pizza at Picazzo's.

DRAT!!!! I had a whole message written and inadvertently hit my mouse and POOF it was gone. Tony was home overnight because he and Rob went to Great Adventure in Mass. today. He'll be home Wed for hiss final appointment with is surgeon (his stitches look ilk Frankenstein). At least for a man it's a badge of courage.

I hope that this finds you all doing well. I keep up with the posts but the pneumonia (or possibly the 3 antibiotics I am on for it) wipes me out. Napping a lot and when I have the patience to read I've kindled almost all the books by Louise Hay. She believes you can heal yourself and steps you through it. At the least she's a very good writer and gives a lot of positive affirmations. Started making jewelry again and last Tuesday I had Selia (the girl I tutor) and her siblings and mom over for crafts. Of course I snuck a lesson in for Selia. As soon as I regain my strength I'll start back tutoring her one on one. It was easier Tuesday to have all of them over.

Tony surprised us with something special. The three of us are going to see "The Boss" on the 18 (I think I may have mentioned it in a previous post).

Well dear psillies my energy is fading and I have to try to stay awake until the laundries' done. Superman's been doing it but I thought I'd surprise him.

OK, off to seamy timer and nap until the laundry is dry.I miss you all a lot!

Love & healing hugs,

Loey

P.S he's looking into Law Enforcement internships for next summer. One is in Minnesota.That's the online that pays.I hope interns don't get guns

With long draw out posts that I care about, I type them in Word first. Then I copy/paste them in to the forum window for posting. That way if something goes wrong, I still have the post. Just a suggestion.

[JNBunnie1]

Good suggestion- Little Loey has a tendency to kill her posts!

And a great suggestion! Thanks!!!

I do the same thing as Vincent, except I type them in Winders notepad. The text is larger and easier to read in Notepad than in the reply window on the forum, so that's a nice added benefit.

Kick that laundry's butt Loey!

Nice pic of the Ward-Gurl and Peoter there!

Just had to wait over an hour and a half for a doctor's appointment . . . grrrrrrrr. They told me to come 20 minutes early to fill out paperwork . . . which thank goodness I didn't go early because experience says that I have plenty of time to fill out the paperwork . . . would have been two hours if I had

. . . and I walk away from the appointment with a bunch of . . . nuthin'!

So frustrating. I had an ortho appt for J once and I left after 2 hours. Was able to get him a better doc. Why are some doctors' offices really good at scheduling and some so bad?

[jerseyangel]

Aw Janet, what a pain in the patoot:(

[Jestgar]

Had a 9am appointment once - first person, and sat around waiting for half an hour. The receptionist told me that the doc didn't usually get in until 9:30 or so....

Had a new doc in a few weeks.

This is all really interesting in light of what happened last week in this household.....DD had an appointment for a colonoscopy, and usually there is about a month's wait for one of these procedures. She got the referral from our GP and the specialist's office called me the next day -- could we get in there in 48 hours? Wow....sure! And not only a three-day wait, but once we got to the appointment, we didn't even have time to open our reading material.. . . ..DD was called into the exam room immediately, and I filled out the forms. Talk about efficient.

But here's why: Before my daughter went in, the receptionist informed us that there was a sixty-dollar charge. I stared at her blankly. I said, "But my husband had a colonoscopy last year, and it was covered by the province". And she replied, "he must have had it done at one of the hospitals", (he did) "....and this is a privately-run clinic".

Aaaaaahhhhhh. That explains it. We had no wait time, ultra-efficient.....but that cost sixty bucks.

Ya get what ya pay for.

We are on vacation in the Monterey CA area. We kayaked this morning and saw lots of seals, otters, birds and more large jelly fish than you could imagine.

...

Aw man, wish I felt well enough often enough to both keep up here and to pop over the hill to meet for a quick coffee or something. Your sched looks pretty packed!

I'm just 30-40min from the northern side of Monterey Bay, but don't pop over near often enough.

Those Watsonville strawberries are legendary! Some as big as a fist!

We are currently in Sonoma County, California, north of San Francisco.

A Psilly Psummit is planned for tomorrow morning in the SF Marina district.

Gah! Another!

Nice AZ pic. Lots more forest in AZ than the popular "all desert & saguaro cactus" perception would allow.

[psawyer]

Seen this morning in Tombstone, AZ, on a building on historic Allen St.

Having a great trip.

Haven't gotten any work done on the house the last two days, but I have been Suzie homemaker. The pirate and I picked about 10 pounds of blackberries yesterday, froze 6, and we're eating our way through the last 4. Just went out and got maybe 8 more pounds, so I'll make fruit leather. We'll get more tomorrow for coffee cake and jam.

Also, um ...acquired... a bunch of yellow plums from the neighbour's tree which I'm going to cut in half and put on the roof to try to dry.

[jerseyangel]

Mmmmmm....blackberry jam
