This is a monumental day for the UK and anglophiles all over the world. I wish King Charles a peaceful reign and one that shows his ability to rule wisely. Thank you Mimi. I hope you are well.

But it was worth every minute... the other hockey families become your family, and memories are priceless. Add to that cash calendars, bond hours, volunteer work, etc…. Arriving a hour early for every game just because that’s what the kids do. 0ur season ended a month ago and we have already paid for next season. Like you said, it’s worth every minute. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don’t miss that learning to drive experience at all. With both my kids learning about a year apart, we were getting the frequent crusher’s discount at the body shop. No matter which vehicle they were driving, things like stop signs and garage doors kept jumping out and taking mirrors off. Front end meets tree, although that was probably my fault for letting my son take the Camaro out in the snow. No matter what they did, my first question was always “Are you okay? Was anyone hurt?” After all, that is most important. Things can be fixed. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This is a really historic event and nothing we have seen in our lifetime. I guess I am a Royal watcher. I am excited to watch it, and I can skip through the boring bits. ☺️ It starts at 2 AM here. I had set my DVR as well. 11 hours of recording to watch! Started 1 am ET (6 am London time) and continues to noon today. Been watching the 'pre-show" coverage on and off this morning. After a chilly start this morning, weather is really beginning to warm up. A perfect NY spring day. Sunny, blue skies, no wind or humidity, temps hitting 70. After dreary, cool damp week, is going to be tough to stay indoors today. I'll probably watch the rest in bits and pieces over the weekend. Maybe later tonight with a Kraken 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whenever my step daughter would be hysterical after being involved in a fender-bender, I'd always assure her that steel can be replaced, she can not. 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare h20skibum Posted May 6, 2023 #92788 Share Posted May 6, 2023 We were at our grandson’s baseball game last night. Another win for them, 4-2. I am waiting for my grass to dry a little more, before I cut it. Will probably cut my neighbor’s while I am on the tractor. While we wait, we plan to see Guardians of the Galaxy 3 today. I hope the music is as good as the first two movies. We watched 1 and 2 again this week to get ready for this one. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I have just climbed a 498 step tower in Bologna (and hate heights, but DD always says ‘face your fears’). I wonder if Charles said that to himself this morning. It is a big deal after all. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I did watch live to see the exit from the church and the procession to the palace. It was quite moving. Congratulations to the new King and Queen. 2 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
