Vacations, concerts, new/old hobbies, special days with family...love hearing about them all!

I am co-hosting a coloring party on Saturday. We have about 12 adults signed up so far, bringing colored pencils, pens, crayons and coloring books! A few might also work on art projects. I wish you could join us Freygea!

Diana, great photo!

Shutterbug, what a fun idea to host a coloring party.

Pearlady, ahhh...yes, the ocean and sand is soo healing. Enjoy

When travelling I usually pack my supplements in plastic baggies since I take so many of them.  I put each day's supplements in a seprate large baggie with smaller bags inside for each meal.  So for a week I'll have seven large baggies with each large bag containing smaller baggie for the individual meals.  For the prescriptions, I usually combine several prescriptions in one pill bottle.  I put both the prescriptions and supplements in my carry on and have never been questioned for either international or domestic travel.

Enjoy Punta Cana.  I heard it's great.  And yes, I am also waiting to put my toes in the sand and having my banana daquiri on the beach.

Thanks for sharing your trips and photos. I really enjoy seeing them. I'm not planning on any travels I just go into the city every week or so to play tourist and visit some of my old haunts.Last year at this time I was helping out with my daughter's wedding. Today DD and I made plans for her baby shower. We decided on a local Italian restaurant that has a couple of private party rooms. Then we went to a local bakery to order the cake. the kids have not discussed names for the baby yet, but his mother was very sweet by saying maybe they would name the baby after me. I couldn't help myself by telling her that was very sweet, but the Jewish tradition is to name after the dead,she was quiet for a moment and then recovered. she is not aware of my traditions as I m not aware of all of her family's traditions, well we are learning and the kids are doing well.

We had an interesting situation with my first granddaughter. Our family (Ashkenazi) don't name after the living and our VERY strong family tradition is that the first baby is named for someone from the mother's family. Her family is Sephardi so they do name after the living. They very much wanted to name the baby for her grandmother (who is alive) so they spoke to their rabbi who said "It's done out of respect and love so give her that name".

Charlotte, enjoy the grandbaby. Grandchildren are THE BEST.

That is a lovely picture. I have a chipin (chihuahua, min pin mix) and a pom. The Pom is not a snuggler but the chipin is.

Today was the last day of school. Students were dismissed a bit after noon. I then spent a few hours on some major packing up and rearranging of things in my classroom in anticipation of major changes related to technology. Report cards filed, tests data entered into data management system, and a hundred other things that we are required to do to get ready for summer break. Signed student year books, celebrated one last student birthday, hugged and kissed my newly minted second graders. Hit the wall by 3:30 but my room is not quite ready for deep cleaning and technology upgrades so I'll need to put in a bit more time tomorrow morning. Then I need to pack as our flight to Seattle leaves early Saturday morning. Alaska, here we come!

I agree with kiwi. I carry all my medsin the correct prescription bottle. And carry on the plane.

Thanks for the suggestions ladies! I will error on the side of caution, keep the scripts in their bottles and make up my baggies when I get there so I can have what I need with me when I'm out and about.

Fraygea, I would never have known that was a paint by number. Very nice. I know a number of painting by numbers places have sprung up in my area where you book a party and paint with a group. They are BYOB and are a very popular ladies night out.

Love the paint by number Freyga.  Looks beautiful.  I remember doing them as a child and loving it, but nothing as intricate as what you are doing.  It seems that it lost popularity for many years, but glad to see it's back.  My mother and brother did a beatiful tray many years ago when he was very young.  He still has it.

Now you're talking, Freygea!

Have a nice weekend everyone! Joanne

Ok Hubby is taking me out for a Pre Chemo dinner tonight. We are ordering a extra large salad, Rare Steak, (the rarest I can get) a cheese platter with Brie and blue cheese. Basically everything we can find that I am not supposed to eat once I start chemo next week. I am going to make sure I have lots of metal silverware and am NOT going to use hands wipes . I will of course steal the saltine crackers for future use.

Freygea enjoy your pre cheno dinner tonight.  But know that you will be having many wonderful dinners even during your chemo.  And what, no dessert??? 

Good luck with chemo next week.

Wow..that looks awesome Mrs M. One of my friends is having a house built and they're going to put a labyrinth in the back yard. I'm invited when it's done!

Well...my fun lately has been fostering kittens. We're keeping one. He has a bad eye; got clawed by a sibling when his eye was opening and has been to the vet too many times to count. Last visit, they thought he was going to lose the eye, but today they did a more detailed exam and it looks like he won't lose it. They were really impressed at how well he's done! Now we just need to name him. He's the little tabby in the pic. Love his spotted tummy; everywhere else is striped.

In the mix, there were two ginger brothers; they went to a home together last weekend. Bittersweet, but looks like they went to a great home! I still have his two sisters for another week or so, then they'll be up to weight and off to new homes.
