    Good morning and greetings from the airport where I'm girding my loins for the security line where coffee will be my reward when I'm through.

    Welcome home, Sassy!

    This was a rough trip. My father is now an old man with all the problems that go with it. Numerically, that's been the case for a while, but you see it physically and emotionally in him now as well.

    I've learned more than I care to know about estate management and while Mom's is pretty easy, his will not be. Second is always harder since that's when things are actually disposed of.

    Cecilia's mom is at peace with whatever is next with treatment, but put 5 siblings in a room discussing what to do about mom and it's like a stack of kindling waiting on a match.

    Mornin' BBB

    Still packing and waiting for news about impending birth of grandson. Not sure if they will induce if he hasn't started knocking on the door.
    Dropped the girls off at the kennel last night.
    ((sigh))
    Cat going to different place on way to airport.
    (meh)
    Lou, I remember that transition well.

    BBB OP ;-)

    Good morning BBB friends.

    Safe travels, Lee and Lou.

    Have an appointment this morning to evaluate pain in my neck - literal, not figurative. I have an MRI of my lower back on Sunday. It seems my spine is unhappy with me for some reason.

    Safe travels guys

    Lee maybe baby boy is just waiting on his grands to come to town!

    Speaking of, I get to see mine after work woohoo! He is said to be sleeping
    and eating a lot. Thats good!!!

    Lou, clean outs are hard and even harder when the person is looking over your shoulder at what they want to keep and while grieving makes it even harder I'm sure! Also hope ur dmil and family get her the care and
    treatment plans all worked out.

    Where is Dennis and dw cruizin to?

    Sam, how is dmil doing in her new Place?

    Sassy says she is so happy all are
    home! Hey, we know some come to you pet sitters for those longer trips next time!

    Steph you certainly are living an incredible Life!

    Punch the list Skip and not the fixers lol. Seems your NFL fans are possibly finally satisfied, for now anyway lol. They seem a rough crowd to please from what I see the fans post online lol. Us Packer fans are pretty team loyal even in losing seasons. Though we did get sick of Rogers crying.

    Have a marvelous day BBB

    Morning BBB

    Safe travels Lee and Lou.

    I follow the 4x4 wardrobe. I own 16 items of clothing plus a bike ride kit and a puffer coat. Working great so far. I switch out pieces periodically so I don't get bored and as I change sizes.

    If i didn't tell you dad accepted an offer on his house. He is packing and purging the house, garage and shed. I'm so glad I was there in May...I did all 3 guest bedrooms to just bedding and furniture and the bathrooms got rid of junk. His new wife's family stayed there for a week over the 4th of July or I would have gotten rid of more.

    Still a lot of work to do. They are letting him keep the shop until spring. He plans to build or buy one in town.

    Good Morning,
    They are claiming today that it will be the hottest so far. Very small chance of rain.
    Safe travels Lee,
    Sorry you are having back and neck issues Dave.
    Lou, prayers for you been there; hope Cecillia's mom is improving and not in pain, family can be a pain to deal with or they could be like my brothers and do nothing but had hand out wanting their share.
