Loving all the photos!
Pip: You make me want to go right to the cruise booking site. Isn't the customer service incredible? What was your favorite meal on the trip?
Dana: Love the gardenia!
Amber: JR looks like a joyful boy. I'm in awe of how you are handling having this little bundle of energy in your life.
Thank you all for the kind prayers and suggestions regarding my DH's condition. Since the sheriff episode, all has been calm and manageable. I am watching him like a hawk and making sure he doesn't get over tired or over hungry. His 75th birthday is Friday, and we are going to spend it with friends in Portland beginning on Thursday. Margie and I have known each other since 3rd grade, and her husband, Steve, and my DH have been friends since the first time they met. Steve's birthday is two days before DH's, so Margie is hosting a festive dinner. The rest of the weekend there are 4 former colleagues that are coming downtown to my hotel where I will basically hold court because I'm in no shape to be walking around busy city streets.
I think I tweaked the left ankle when the tip of the big ugly boot got caught under a kitchen cabinet. Icing and elevating as I write this. Tomorrow is my ortho appointment, and can't wait to see how the fractures look.
Stay well. Keep moving. We can do this.

Those town pics are Ketchikan AK
Where did your cruise go?
Started where? Ended where?
We get quite a few cruise ships into Hobart in the summer ... I think there were 66 last summer. it's all quiet now, of course, because of winter.
I'm not particularly good on the water, although I have done the overnight ferry to the mainland a few times, and the overnight ferry between Caen and Portsmouth and Newcastle upon Tyne to IJmuiden.
When there are waves, it's best I'm asleep and don't know anything about them.

There is a story attached to the B 17, which is why I knew what it was.
In WW ll a little boy, aged 8, was playing in a park when a badly damaged B 17 flew towards him and a group of his friends. The pilot waved at him to signal him to get out of the way so they could land in the only open space, but the boy misread the gesture and just waved back and stood where he was. The pilot did not land on the boys, but crash landed in the wood beyond and all the crew were killed.
That little boy never forgave himself for their death and has made a memorial to the American airmen in the wood. Recently the USAAF arranged a fly past for this now very old man. A couple of days ago he was taken to see the crew's grave and they took him up in the only flying B 17 in Europe, Sally B, which was on the news, and is what I saw overhead today.
Thanks Karen.

Wow, Machka9 - Wonder how they got the water still look like it is flowing! Makes me want to paint. But, after ruining 2 kitchen doors that were in the greenhouse - small bugs on them and thinking they were dry - I tried to brush them off, using a small paint brush, which only made it worse. Louis was pissed; but, I told him I was freaking tired of him taking over everything with his freaking work. I told him I was going to take all my art supplies 'out of there' and then, he could have it ALL!!!!! I'm sure that is what he wants to do and one reason he isn't doing anything to get my porch finished. SSSSSSSCCCRRRREEEEMMMMM!!!!!6

Only skimmed through pg 12, but time to get goin'
Monday was productive. Updated calendars with labs, DDS and MD appointments (thanks Machka!), signed up with AAA for ID Theft Protection (basic free with membership), two loads of laundry, spoke with FA who had good news about the tax issue, drafted, edited, attached extracts of statements showing assets transferred into another IRA same days, finalized and mailed response to IRS. Many MANY thanks Lanette, you saved us much anxiety and $7723!!!
Tuesday was fun, brunch with pals planning trip, played in dirt for an hour before chiropractor and line dancing.
T'ai Chi and more fun planned for today and tomorrow

Kate miraculous that your husband saw that bee orchid! Mine would have mowed right through it
Margaret after rubbing the epsom salts/essential oil into your skin, do you soak in the tub or just shower off?

Barbara AHMOD - I am so glad the IRS problem worked out for you! You'll likely get a letter from them in a month or two saying all is forgiven and you don't owe them beans. Pretty scary when the bank/institution sends you a 1099R that says one thing and sends the IRS something else. But at least now we know the questions to ask when something seems fishy!
Working on my list of things to talk to the doc about regarding balance. Maybe I'm overtraining on this but the final decade of my mom's life, her balance was horrible. She had very sore feet so already couldn't walk far, then something failing in the brain area which made her "woozy". Sometimes I kind of lose my balance and grab for the kitchen counter and think "I'm becoming my mom!!" in horror. So want to head anything like that off at the pass if I can. Her inability to walk much or move in her final years certainly contributed to her dementia at the end of her life, I am convinced.
This is one of the times I wish I could call Mom on the phone and ask her more about it. My sis kind of remembers but Mom has been gone over 10 years now.
OK ladies, I'm heading out to do my weights and Qigong/Tai Chi. I am happy I can stand in some of the poses for a long time with my eyes closed and keep perfect balance. Maybe there's hope yet!

Well let’s hope that’s not it Lanette the Doctor can test for it now better than ever! A few tests you’ll know for sure. Sometimes we have our parents traits but not the disease itself so let’s hope that balance issues more inner ear 👂 less likely to be Dementia .I’ll pray for you hun.
Just tried some new restoration oil for my furniture from pledge looks good but will see wet never tells you anything it’s what it looks like by morning that does.
