@BonTexasNY Happy birthday Bonnie!! We share the same birthday month 10 days apart! Also, safe travels to NJ and I hope you have a great time!

Have a wonderful time Dani!!!

100% agree Val!!! I can't get my hands to warm up for days and of course I was out of state the week we had summer 🤦‍♀️

It all looks wonderful Helen, including the Ramen!

Maryann I loved the Turtle Back Zoo!! There are pictures of me as a youngster riding the back of one the giant turtles! Bring back the memories!

Yes Maryann my head was spinning. We did get to take a nice walk on the beach and had two lovely meals with my father!

Yes, I do know the Southport area very well. It a great town and I love to eat at Fishy Fishy. We toured models homes by our builder in St. James a couple of years ago. We are building in Compass Pointe. We purchased our lot in 2017. We often go to the beach at Oak Isle but Wrightsville beach is a bit closer.

We are going to be in Leland, NC which is just across the Cape Fear river from downtown Wilmington. We have been visiting since 2005 since my parents retired there. My father is still with us and just moved to a beautiful brand new Independent Living complex closer to Carolina Beach.

I just finished reading this lovely thread from Tuesday thru now and boy I missed a lot. I had a crazy 4 days last week down in North Carolina where DH and I are building our retirement home so that I could make all the selections, exterior colors, interior colors, cabinets, counter, flooring, electrical placements, closet configurations, lighting fixtures, plumbing fixtures, landscaping, appliances, sound system and security systems. It was exhausting. It was a tremendous help to have a good friend/decorator with me to keep me focused and on track. DH stayed home 😄.

Woohoo!!! What a ride. Thanks for sharing and for the awesome tunes!

@dani negreanuSo glad that an answer to your DH pain has been found, but super frustrated for you both and the length of time it took. Happy Easter to all of our friends who celebrate! 🐰

Thank you so much for sharing your story! I really do see a resemblance between you and your father! So happy for you and your son to start this new family chapter!

I follow one of the new ice cast members on YouTube, named Jordan. Would love to actually see her in person but I am not on Wonder till 2025 so probably not gonna happen. 😞

Wonderful news!

Sounds wonderful!!!!

The best Grits I have ever had was in Charleston, SC. They were pimento cheese grits and they were so yummy!!

We thoroughly enjoyed bumping into Owen on the Bella cruise, especially in the elevators!😉

Perfect graphic! Thank you from me as well for starting this thread 3 years ago!

@BonTexasNY Oh Bonnie, I am so glad that your kidney doctor appointment was not as you had feared! @Momof3gurlz Bummed you can't do Panama but totally understand. We are working on RI trip, probably 7/10-7/15.

Hugs Andrew, Lisa and Owen.❤️

Sorry you have to cut your Naples time short. Safe travels to you both!

Looks wonderful!!!!

Glad you re home safe and sound!

My Son went to this festival in 2018 and it is absolute chaos! That year they moved the festival to a different location and it was a bit of a logistical nightmare.

Awesome analogy Andrew!!!
