Very frustrating; I was aphasic, but my mind was working! As my speech came back, I knew what I wanted to say, but there was a disconnect in my brain. I became very good at synonyms. Even now, I have trouble with numbers and spelling. Fortunately, when you’re reading out a series of numbers, the person you’re reading it to thinks that you’re being very kind and careful by enunciating slowly and clearly! I'm so sorry to hear you had a stroke. I hope you are fully recovered now. Take care. Graham Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Their cousins haven’t made it down to the Lake yet but when the saw this pic, they ran to get ready! Corrie "the driver" had a great day yesterday but I don’t think she realized that with her dad here now, she is not going to be driving on the way home. You have lovely grandkids too.

Graham Thank you, Graham. I’m as fully recovered as I’m going to be, which is almost completely. I had to give up my profession as a hospital pharmacist since numbers are important for that occupation. Simple math is fine, but higher order stuff isn’t. Still, life is pretty good. And I am free to travel to do anything that needs done- like caring for my daughter after the baby! 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Haven’t been in about 8 or so years. We never stayed at the same place more than once.Our first summer in 1974 we stayed at the Melody Manor which was great except that they did not have AC and my wife was pregnant.Our room’s feature was that we had a lot of wind during the night.I think we were at the Tiki one summer. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

A lot of good music and genera's before the disco debacle (FUBAR), at least in my opinion. 😏 Edited September 3, 2021 by davekathy 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Last Sunday, we were at a 70's Soul Jam concert at the beautiful Mountain Winery in Saratoga that featured The Stylistics, Delfonics, Manhattans, Heat Wave, and Harold Melvin & The Blue Notes.It was great to hear those old songs again. Getting ready to go to our second concert there tonight. Tower of Power! 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ida definitely took her toll on the Northeast as well as Louisiana. In N.Y. between 13 & 18 people drowned in their basement apartments due to rapidly rising waters. Here in CT, a State Trooper's vehicle was swept away so fast by a rising river, that he just barely had time to issue a MAYDAY over his radio. His cruiser was found almost completely submerged entangled in rocks and tree branches. He wasn't found until hours later, but unfortunately, he succumbed to his injuries.

Rare Momof3gurlz Posted September 4, 2021 #28725 Share Posted September 4, 2021 We made “smashburgers” tonight. They were fantastic and we wolfed them down so no pictures. I was thinking of buying a Blackstone propane powered griddle but didn’t want to crowd our patio or deck. Then I came up with the idea to just use the cast iron griddle I have, putting it right onto our gas grill. It worked great. Here’s a pic of the first time we tried using it in the grill, when DH & grandson made breakfast on it. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
