    @Tabatha_Cain , I thought of you yesterday when I did join the advantage plan. I know the girl who helped me was some happy! It finally paid off for her, and it will you also. Hopefully you had some interest. LOL Sorry that DID make me giggle hmmm an adult woman doesn't need permission to marry. sounds like your Dad has more issues to deal with, hopefully, he'll take the opportunities offered because hey he can't be young. I am so sorry though, but DELIGHTED you and Joe are together now!! That's FANTASTIC!!

    @Patti241, HI Patti!! It's good to rest up at times!! I agree, I am thrilled that was quite the ride down. I am not sure how those who do not live in the city do it.

    Hello all, happy Tuesday. @Dianedoessmiles1 and @Tabatha_Cain- I agree as parents and as children we have made mistakes. I know I have learned a lot. Tomorrow they fixed my clogged vein. The dr says it is an easy procedure. They just numb skin; you are not even under a sedative. After procedure need to wear a compression stocking full leg for 36 hours. Walk 2 times a day for 15 minutes. No heavy exercise or lifting. After 36 hours wear stocking 24 ours a day for 3 days, then just during the day for following 7 days. There will be a follow up visit to make sure procedure was successful. It was another nice day. After I went to dermatologist did nothing but sit on porch and enjoy the day unit I decided it is time to get some exercise in. Other than that, nothing exciting here. Its 78 and a very slight breeze. Hugs and blessing all. Have a wonderful rest of the day.

    @Tabatha_Cain -A one year anniversary, it feels like we just were looking at your wedding pictures. time is flying by. Congratulations and many many more.

    Today's affirmation: I am open to receiving the generous gifts of Spirit. I hold no expectations or demands on the form, the timing, or the color of the wrapping on the bountiful gifts of Spirit

    Good Morning Airport Friends:

    I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Wednesday and it is going to be a great day. I can tell. Today I have some more shopping and stuff to do since I have 2 months until my wedding anniversary. This one is going to be a great anniversary I can tell. I mostly have my present done. I just need to do a little more. Find a few more pictures to use and things like that. Yesterday was a good day as well I got a lot of calls out made to get some memberships and I ended up with 2 memberships yesterday. It is a good start and I am going to keep going today.

    @Dianedoessmiles1 - Thank you. I was able to get 2 memberships. So I did have some interest. Yes I find it funny that my Dad threw a fit. I am so happy with Joe. Today is 10 months married. Only 2 more to go before our full year.
    @Kurtize - I really hope that clogged vein procedure works well for you. That sounds nice that you were able to sit on the porch and enjoy for a bit before exercising. Thank you. Our anniversary is June 24th. So not that far away.

    Well I hope you all have a wonderful Wednesday.

    Good Morning Airport Friends:

    I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Friday and it is going to be a great day. I am not going to work today. I took a 3 day weekend. I needed a mental break from work as it is very stressful right now. I know I am not going to get all my memberships this month and that is alright. I am sure I will make up for it. I am going to be reaching out to some of my contacts and seeing if they would like to purchase memberships. I signed my Mom and her husband up so I am going to talk to some of my friends and see if they want to sign up for the memberships. That is something I can do. Unfortunately I cannot put anything on Facebook because AAA is very strict on what they allow on social media. So I just have to message them all individually. I will get at it though.

    @Kurtize - I am glad things went well. I hope you continue to do well and that the compression sock is not irritating. When I wore them they were so irritating for me and I did not even have the surgery. I just had swelling in my ankles.
    @Dianedoessmiles1 - That sounds amazing. Joe said he wants to do something romantic. So there is that. I get to plan it though because he has no romantic bone in his body. Which is actually cute. My kids helped him plan the dinner in which he proposed. So I knew he was not the romantic type.

    Well I hope you all have a Fantastic Friday.

    @Tabatha_Cain ,, Woohoo enjoy the amazing 3 day weekend! Though it can be fun to go to a hotel it's also work to do so. I'm going on a trip soon. Lolol try to get 4 elderly (65 to 76) to get a hotel (actually for I've this part was easy!) who's car, who's driving (all 3 of them wanted to drive! I about lined them up with whoever draws the short straw can! Aarrgghh) lolol with one suddenly saying "oh we can rent a 7 passenger SUV!" Hmmm none of us are big enough for 2 seats, and bigger vehicle harder to hear! Lololol ) than food. Oh man! It'll be fun though. The 4 of us get along very well. But it's work. The movies make romance something that's way more of a fantasy. Bit LOVE, true Love isn't a day, it's every day. It's being able to count on your imperfect mate, as you are to, looking for the best and enjoying a simple smile. A good morning etc. Awww sweet hon.

    Good evening all. It was a beautiful day. Still reporting bad weather but so far nothing (grateful for that). We bought some rocks for the yard, will post just waiting for the flowers to get here. Was lazy today. @Tabatha_Cain yes the compression socks aggravate me then the spot where they operated on. Today got to take bandage off and the socks aren't quite as tight but the upper part of leg is sore. They were having problems with water lines so we have not had water since 9:30 this morning. I got another post card and here is link, I also added some other pictures I found of the place I am at.

    Good Morning Airport Friends:

    I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Saturday and it is going to be a great day. My day off yesterday was amazing. I got to go hang with my Mom for a couple of hours and then I got to go have lunch with my husband which I never get to do because we are in work at the same time. It was great yesterday.

    @Dianedoessmiles1 - That is true. I am working on booking a bigger minivan for a group of 6 people that want to drive from here to Florida and back. That is going to be fun. Joe and I just want to do something we find romantic. Not sure what just yet though.
    @Kurtize - Sorry the sock was aggravating you. I am glad it is better though. Oh man no water. I am so sorry you have no water. I hope you get it back soon.

    Well I hope you all have a wonderful Saturday.

    Happy Saturday. @Dianedoessmiles1 we live in Amarillo, the plains area of Texas, Waco though is only 6 hours away. Dr didn't mention top of leg would be sore, but it feels ok today, I just think it was the stocking. Not much new, sunny, 79 outside, great weather. Hope it keeps up. My ex daughter in law lives in Nebraska, David our son said the tornado that hit there was near her home but luckily no damage. How scary. I went through 2 tornados since moving to Texas, the one was very scary, it went around our trailer, I thought for sure this was the end. The next morning our 1500 lb. utility trailer, and burn barrel that was covered with a heavy metal cover with 2 cement blocks on were gone, the trailer was in backyard in stead of the front yard. Never want to go through that again.
    Wishing you a great rest of the day.

    Good Morning Airport Friends:

    I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Sunday and well Joe and I are going to relax today after church. We might go see a movie. Not sure yet. I guess it just depends on how much money we have after bills today.

    @Kurtize - That would be super scary. I would never want to go through that.
    @Dianedoessmiles1 - Yes it is the same family. I am sure I will come up with something as well. Monday I will be reaching out to them to give them what I have found.

    Well I hope you all have a wonderful Sunday

    @Tabatha_Cain, Oh Tabatha, it's so expensive to see movies here!! I REFUSE! FLATLY REFUSE!! We now just wait until they come out on Amazon etc. and watch them in the comfort of one of our homes, have the food we all want (YEAH!! If I want to eat healthy, I CAN!). Did you go out? WOOHOO hopefully tomorrow that'll all work out very well!! We've run into so many issues with this trip, but the 4 of us combine our resources and it all works out. We had thought of renting a car, but one of my friends owns a Honda CRV which is plenty big enough for us. If I do not come on Monday, I'll be back on Friday!! My time will likely be on my phone only to do my food dairy and communitcate with the leaders on PS4L and report my exercise (hopefully daily!).
    @Patti241, HI Patti! ENJOY THE WEEK!!
    @Kurtize, awww just Awwwww!!

    Good Morning Airport Friends:

    I hope you are all doing well this morning. Today is Monday and it is going to be a great day. I am still so tired, but I did relax yesterday evening. We went and saw the movie and we got out of the movie about noon and then I doordashed until like 3:30 pm and then home and relaxed. We have left overs for dinner and then went grocery shopping. I came home and started a load of laundry and then switched it to the dryer when it was time and then played on my computer for a little bit before bed. Oh and showered. That is important. I had a weird weird dream last night. I feel a little off because of it. So I don't think I slept like I should.

    @Dianedoessmiles1 - We were able to see the entire movie with Popcorn and pop for $19. We have day time movie prices and we have what we call a cheap theater. You get your own drinks and you bag your own popcorn. That allows them to have lower costs on things when they don't have to pay more employees to do those things for you. They also have lower costs for movies before 4 pm. I think because those are the times people don't really come to movies. So they are trying to get more business during those times. So we take advantage of that and go at that time. I hope you have fun on your trip. I am glad you have someone with a CR-V so you don't have to rent a car. That is expensive as well.

    Well I hope you all have a wonderful Monday.
