Hi all! Been traveling nonstop for the last 7 days! No catching up here! Lol. We drove 1800 miles in those 6 days to arrive in Roswell New Mexico. We have a hosting job here. First time. Will try it to see if we will continue doing this or not.
Have to go, just wanted to check in.

My husband and I are very interested in your experience hosting as we have considered trying it. Let us know

Yesterday we both worked on our books in the morning. I wrote about 500 words. Slow but steady. He writes in the living room and I write on our bed upstairs. I'm writing about my grandparents again, who moved in almost next door to us at our new house. My mother was not amused. I was very conscious of that when we floated the idea of moving to Hove. DS said he didn't want us too near! We will be about 30 mins walk away. No fear of bumping into each other at the bakers.

I grew up beside my Grandparents. For perspective I've include two pictures to show how close it was. The first picture is of me with my back to my Grandparents house, the second is my Dad and girls with our house in the background. As a child I loved it, when my Mom made supper I didn't like I would go eat at Grammie's. I suffered terribly the nights they both cooked something I didn't like. If I was in trouble at home I ran to Grammie's. She helped me with my homework, always had cookies, doughnuts, treats. It was the best childhood ever. When I was a teen it wasn't quite as much fun, I had to tell my Grandparents what I was doing as much as my parents. I had 4 sets of watchful eyes instead of 2. I wouldn't change a moment of it, but as an adult looking back it must have been hard on my parents at times. I remember my Grandmother complaining when my Mom went to town too often, and I'm sure that my grandparents heard more about my parents married life than was necessary.

Snowflake ~ I grew up with my father's entire family living within a quarter of a mile of each other. When I walked home after the bus stop, my uncle's house was on the left, grandparent's house on the right, aunt's house on the left, and finally my house on the right. The whole family attended the small Baptist church near by. I grew up playing with my cousins. My mother did not get along with any of them so they never came to our house to play.4

So lovely to see Olivia again. Lovely to watch her growing up.

Kelly - Look at you go on the weight loss! I love your holiday theme week, I would be too excited to sleep!
NYKaren - Beautiful pictures, I am with you excited to be home at the end of a trip
Rye- I don't know how you American's do it! I am so fortunate to live in Canada where we may have a long wait but can see our doctors for free.
Michele- I think your stringing popcorn on the deck is brilliant, I never would have thought about doing it so early.
Margaret - Cell phones and driving. It is against the law here as well and I see so many doing it. The talking doesn't bother me as much as the texting. At least with the talking they are usually looking up and not down at their crotch. My daughter, husband and grandson were rear ended by a texting driver when my Grandson was just a year or so old. Scary.
Janet - what a cutie Olivia is!
Walking Partners - I would love to have someone that is willing to walk with me. I wish it was hubby for his own health but he needs to decide that on his own. In the meantime, I talk to a friend at least one walk a week.
My 50th birthday is coming up and I really wanted to do something to celebrate it. My Grandson and I share a birthday so for the last 6 years I have celebrated with him. I decided this weekend that I wanted to have my family and closer friends join me for a dinner at a local restaurant that I love. I texted my youngest daughter today to see what time she would get out of the salon on the date and she asked me why I wanted to know. When I told her about making reservations she told me she would add me to the group that she has been using to work on plans for me. I told her to continue planning and I will leave things alone. She is going to contact the others I have talked to about my plan and tell them to ignore me. A planner is hard to surprise I guess. I told her I'm excited to see what she does now!

I lived next door to my grandparents as well. My grandfather was a carpenter, so he built our house, then we sold him the field next door, and he built his house. My grandparents were my best friends! If I didn't have honework, I stopped off at their place, my grandmother dealing me in for a hand of gin rummy! She had an eternal tin filled with cookies, mostly freezer cookies, oatmeal, sometimes snickerdoodles. My grandfather would walk up to our garden, and check out his competition. One year he planted 99 tomato plants, just because! One time when my grandmother and I went on a Greyhound trip to see family in Minnesota, we came back to our house first. My grandmother looked down to her property from our balcony and asked, "who is that bald guy in the garden"? Well it was grandfather! He had shaved his head because he thought Kojack was cool. Thing is he had a cone head with a pointy part, because he got struck by lightening as a kid. Grandmother scolded him about that shaving! Good times! My grandmother would drive up to our house and take our biggest pot down to her house. Then she would make the best minestrone soup, and make a loaf of bread, drive back up with it all, putting the soup on low. We'd come home to heaven!!

Kate UK - I didn't find no 2 quite as good as the first, but the third one is excellent. Obviously it's best to read them in order though.
DH says "Thank you very much"
Did you just watch the Adrian Chiles programme on alcohol consumption. BBC 2? Very good, I thought.

I just realized when I scrolled past the pictures I posted both of these houses are no longer there. I knew it, of course, but my brother just tore my parents house down this month and I had forgotten for a bit. My grandparents has been gone since 2010. This is a view from my brothers house where these houses used to be now.

Rita - back to Roswell! Yes, I too am curious about the hosting.
My parents' farm was right next to my grandparents'. It was a hike thru the cornfield or over the snowdrifts to get to grand's house (we weren't allowed on the county road when we were little of course) but great memories. Probably half a mild between the houses...close enough but not too close.
We were so lucky to live next to them and grow up steeped in family history and their love like that.

Hi Sisters,I really enjoyed the photos and stories this morning. I love it when extended families grow up near each other. That's what I want for my own children and grandchildren here. I'm hoping a lot of our family will be able to get employed and involved in our bee business as it grows. I am just about to launch into the busy season of making queens here. Will probably put my first cells in this weekend. Wendy5

I'm the oddball again, I can't do the tumeric capsules. I have tried twice and both times my finger joints get so sore it hurts to bend my fingers. It could be coincidental, but since it happened twice several months apart, I'm done with them.
Happy Saturday evening!

MACHKA......I've been on them for a couple weeks now, but the jury is still out. They were supposed to go a long way to get rid of the joint pain in my feet ... but if anything that's worse. Plus my hips have been really acting up in the last few days.
They may not be causing the pain, but they don't seem to be helping.
Thanks to OKIE & MACHKA & LISA .....for the review. You are not odd at all. Someone....LISA mentioned another med for arthritis Glucosamine,that did nothing for me. After a yr,gave what was left to a neighbor..........Melatonin doesn’t work for me,but does for a DD. I’m weird for sure.
Runs in my family.Sis is allergic to most meds.Have to be careful adding to meds I already take. Thanks again,Pat in Oh

Caught up! This summer has been very busy for us. My husband had a minor medical emergency while he was traveling for work and had to have surgery while he was in Atlanta. While they were taking care of that problem, they discovered a small tumor in his bladder, which they removed, thankfully, because it was cancer. Very small so no follow up treatment for that is necessary, but he will be checked out every 3-6 months for, I don't know how long. He is feeling old.
On the positive side, we had a fun time in Vegas earlier this summer, and my husband and I are going to London for almost a week at the end of September for a conference he has to attend. It will be my first time, although he's been there a few times in the past few years.
Much love to all.
