Oh my gosh, how absolutely adorable!! <3

Awww, Gary, I'm so sorry to hear of your loss. Syd's right - you are an amazing son & daughter-in-law! Hugs to you and your family!!! <3

Awesome picture Syd! Your young man is very handsome :) This is my grandbaby Kylinn

Nope, not our backyard. That picture is "up north" about 2.5 hours from our house to the in-laws 2nd home. It's right on a small lake, 10 acres of woods. It's very pretty but very cold at this time of the year! Our yard also is covered in snow at the moment but the hot tub helps it feel warmer!! :) No palm trees though!!…

Wow, what beautiful pictures. You're making me jealous!! Meanwhile, this is my latest outdoor picture:

Nice! Love the fireplace, what a relaxing gathering spot <3 :)

I'm very happy that Ron's test came back negative. Now if we can just continue to avoid this virus, I'll be very happy. Our state is on a "pause" so I'm working from home for the next couple of weeks. Hope everyone had a relaxing but different Thanksgiving :)

Happy post-Thanksgiving guys! Our Thanksgiving was very different as well. Just my husband and I were gathered for dinner. My girls got together and cooked their own dinner (that is a proud mama moment 😁) and Ron's girls joined their mom. Ron is waiting on Covid test results as he was directly exposed at his job since his…

Awww, Gary, I'm sorry to hear about your pup. It's tough when you have to let the pets go, they are truly a part of the family. {hugs} to you and your family! <3

Great picture! So pretty <3

Lol Syd, it was 47 when we woke up at 5am today but it's dropping throughout the day to a low of 35 and snow showers! :p Now that it's a new month, time to get back to working out, October was a disaster for me but the weight has maintained at least. Baby shower, while very small due to covid was still a stresser but it's…

Awww...cuties! Always good to see the younguns! :)

Those fires are crazy! I can't believe how bad they have been this year - been thinking about you guys over there on the west coast - stay safe!! Scary stuff!! And it's a... Yay! Girl!! Very excited :) (our gender reveal was very safe, no pyrotechnics here! and social distancing too! :):) )

Syd - That is good to know about your niece, I will definitely pass that along. Alyssa's fiancee is only allowed to attend one doctor's appt with her due to the whole Covid thing, so he is going next Friday which is when they will find out the sex of the baby. That night we will be going to her house along with Ryan's…

Syd - Awwwwww, adorable! And back to the question about the grandbaby - it's complicated! My daughter had a baby 6 years ago but was only 21 at the time, not established in a job or relationship so she went the route of adoption. Her and the adoptive parents chose to have an open adoption, meaning we still get to see…

Hi all! Very quiet around here, hopefully everyone is staying safe! Found out recently my daughter is pregnant, due in January 2021. Her and her fiancee are very excited, I am too but I am also very concerned due to Covid. Feel like this is not an ideal time to be having a baby but it's a little late now! :# But on the…

Happy birthday Syd! Not an ideal birthday, I know, but have a cocktail and try to enjoy your day. Mine is right around the corner... :# I know what you mean about missing your son, I feel like I haven't seen my girls in forever! Hi Gary!! Hope you are feeling better!!! <3

Aw, glad you were discharged Gary! I hope you regain your strength quickly and are feeling better <3 Happy Easter!

Oh gosh Gary, that's awful! I hope you heal quickly ! As someone that has had a DVT, I know a bit of what you are dealing with except I didn't have mine during a pandemic. Praying for you!

Your parents sound a lot like my in-laws, Gary. My FIL can't seem to wrap his head around staying in their home - he wanted to head up north, which is like 300 some miles away. Which wouldn't necessarily be a problem but they would have to stop several times at rest areas, so that is a problem. He asked my husband…

Everything here is cancelled - glad my fridge, pantry and bar is fully stocked. Especially the bar! Ha! My husband's nephew thinks he has the virus, he is an airline pilot and is waiting to get a test. Has already tested negative for the flu, so...ugh. Glad my favorite lushes are healthy and hunkered down! Working from…

For our Spain trip, we fly into Barcelona, spending a day there and then flying to Paris for a quick 2 day visit. From there, we're going to fly to Madrid, spend a day or two and then take the high speed train to Malaga, which is in the southern tip of Spain in the Andalusia region of Spain. My SIL's parents have a place…

I think I've recovered from the Super Bowl party... :# :D It's an exhausting day but it went well and everyone had fun. This year we bought a breathalyzer, which was quite amusing and informative. I'm glad we finally bought one of those! Now, I just need to crack down again and get back to losing weight and working out...…

Amy - the Star Wars cantina sounds amazing! What a fun trip :) Syd - good luck with all the house stuff, sounds stressful!! :# It's the reason I'm never, ever moving again! At least not by choice... Gary - speaking of stressful, I'm sorry you're dealing with all the stressful aging parent issues. It's sad and stressful at…

WooHoo Syd! Over asking and didn't have to do a bunch of showings?!! That is a win for sure! :)

Merry Christmas lushes! <3 Syd- your menu sounds scrumptious, give me directions I'll be right over ;) Gary- hope Darla heals quickly!!!

Syd - yes, as Amy pointed out- it would not be fiscally responsible to not partake when it is included! :) Just plugging along here, dropped a little weight trying to be a bit better... Nothing new, just trying to get ready for Christmas and survive work - year end...ugh! :#

Thanksgiving this year is going to be interesting... originally we were going to take 3 of our 4 daughter's downtown and go tailgating for our Lions annual football game. We always watch but have never tailgated for the game. Then we found out that none of Ron's other siblings invited his mom and stepdad over for dinner…

Gary - I'm glad the appointment finally went well. The drive for your fathers surgery sounded awful! But I'm glad that you had a good appointment! Thinking about you and your family. Amy - 63 is definitely way too young! I'm sorry you lost your dad at such a young age! When my BIL passed away 3 years ago at 60, I was so…
