We had lunch in our local garden centre before buying some plants for our back garden. Looks delicious! I think everyone is just "itching" to get started with their gardens ☺️ 5 hours ago, Ozark_Kid said: Thanks for all of the Happy Birthday wishes 😊 Looks like RC wanted to make it a special day for me too.

Tested Positive this morning, and spent most of today in bed. This cough is annoying. Carol was neg earlier today ☹️ hoping you have a mild case, it is going to get us all at some point. Had our turn last year, so far both of us still good. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We will be staying at the Hilton Hawaiian village Waikiki . Our Assistant TA, Sharon, 😃 is setting it all up. Then when we get there she will say let's go and I know then for sure what we are doing. 😆 Maybe we can figure out sometime to meet up. I now Monday will be a busy day for us. So Sunday afternoon or before we board. We are cruising with two other couples. That’s where we’re staying at. Which tower are you in? We are in the Grand Islander. We’ll be around Sunday afternoon but you will be busy checking in so we can play it by ear or do a quick meet up somewhere onsite. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare brillohead Posted March 23, 2023 #88734 Share Posted March 23, 2023 For those of you who have been following my DNA saga, the results are in! (For those who haven't been following along, the TL;DR version is: I was placed for adoption at birth, found my birthmother in the 90s, and recently took an Ancestry .com DNA test to search for my birthfather. Tracked down (deceased) grandparents, found a (possible) half-brother, did a sibling test that was "inconclusive", and just did a DNA test with the other possible father, Bill, one of three brothers born to the grandparents.) Drumroll..... So, R is my cousin instead of my half-brother. He tried calling Bill, but got his voicemail. (The ONE time he doesn't answer his phone, are you kidding me??? LOL) I'm at peace now. This was the best possible outcome. Bill is still living, and is ready, willing, and able to accept me as his daughter. And after over half a century of not knowing, I have a biological father. 41 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I soon, next 1/2 hour, will have all 7 grandkids here! I love ❤️ it when the whole family gets together. My MIL and SIL is also here. Sharon made one of the family favorites tonight. Curry and Roti.

Sharon said said she can't see it on the reservation. We had just got a new Chase card and the points covered the Hilton hotel and the one night near LAX. I'm sure we will figure it out. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
