    Mornin' BBB

    Its 8 am here in London. We are staying at an Ikea showroom masquerading as an airbnb. Its a very nice and secure flat actually.
    Its overcast and raining.
    We brought umbrellas.
    We will try and hit a couple of museums and churches today.
    DB and his DH are great hosts.
    Missing the pups already.
    Saw a video of Tucker doing an excellent Babe impression. I wonder if he drinks Miller Lite?

    BBB OP ;-)

    G'Morning~

    Hope you are having a great time across the pond, Doc! Raising a virtual pint (or dram of some fine scotch) toast to ye!

    Tuck got to go to groomer yesterday for bath and some nail trimming. He looked rather dapper - only to come home and follow me right into the pool for several dives before destroying a perfectly good frisbee. Tucker has been known to lick the top of a frosty Miller a time or two. Had he not been named by rescue - that'd likely been his name: Miller!

    Lou - how's the wing coming along?

    Mary - Commanders open up mini camp this week. They'll be fans in the stands in a few short weeks.

    Dennis when do you depart for Boy's State?

    DMIL is back to not speaking to me - which suits me fine.....if I am ever that old and just plain miserable to everyone......well, anyway.

    Cheers,
    Skipper

    Good morning.

    Our Airbnb in Spain was the same thing, Lee. Wall-to-wall IKEA stuff. Yuck.

    The Commanders could always move to Austin for a fresh start. Everyone else seems to be moving here.

    The shoulder is very slowly getting better. I can't cough into the right elbow without pain to give you an idea if where I'm at, Skip.

    Good morning BBB friends.

    Enjoy seeing the sights, Lee.

    Going to help DDIL's dad take down a tree in his backyard, today. Hope we don't do any damage to anything. I haven't seen the tree yet. I reserve the right to recommend a professional.

    Good Morning,
    Only a person on vacation refers to a Monday morning as "Jolly Good"; hope you have a GREAT time, enjoy the cuisine it is a little different.
    Never been to an Ikea store so do not know what you are experiencing.
    Skip, still have not clued me on how to get DMIL not to speak to me
    Careful Dave, trees have a mind of their own
    Rain chances picking up latter in week as temps continue Hot and Humid

    Good morning BBB Friends.
    • It's Monday, breakfast with the ROMEOs.
    • Do you get an invite to the Royal Jubilee Lee? As a commoner you can sit with Harry and Meghan.
    • I'm not sure the English have a cuisine. At least not one anyone brags about.
    • Leaving for Boys State Friday morning. Amazon managed to deliver all my office supplies.
    • I'm off for a hair cut.

    Morning BBB

    Enjoy London.

    It’s so great that you continue to help with boys state. Such an important organization.

    Less rainy today so headed to Humboldt Redwoods for the Avenue of Giants drive and a few short hikes. Gas is $6.89 here. Yikes.

    Hello, everyone! It's only 11 days now until the wedding ... we're getting excited! Woo-hooo! The bachelor and bachelorette parties were this past Saturday, so we had all 4 grands all day. It was CRAZY. It's truly unbelievable how many diapers I changed. I got my hair colored and trimmed today, I'll do the boys' hair this weekend, my nail appointment is next Tuesday, and people start arriving next Thursday. I still need to write the blessing, too, but I'm going to use the one I did for Dd26's wedding as a basic template.

    Steph, that's so awful for gas! Sheeeeeeesh!!!!
    Dennis, have FUN with the boys! That's so awesome that you do that.
    I hope you stayed safe with that tree, Dave!
    Tucker sure is living the life! I'll bet he's a happy dog!
    How cool that's you're in London, Lee! Wow!
    Hello to Sam and Mary and Raine and anyone else I'm missing.
    Hugs to everyone!

    Doc. My best friend is over there. Wait. Her flight got cancelled. I think she’s in Paris today. Anyway, she missed the queen. Have a spectacular time!!

    Painting the exterior of our house. Too old for this.
