We now have eight tests. Four are from the school my daughter teaches in.  Apparently they like me😊

Marietta, how are you and Charlie doing?

  Eric is concerned that the door frame for the main entry door got messed up too as that will not stay closed either.    For now he has propped a chair under the door knob inside the foyer and put a bungy cord to hold the storm door shut.    For now we can either go thru the garage to get inside our house or use the back door.   All good!

 

 

Thank goodness for bungee cords, and that you can use the back door or garage doors until you can get the front door fixed.

 It is. And luckily, we made it back home in the nick of the time. Many flights are cancelled at the last minute, since the "security conflict" is escalating. I feel so sorry for the thousands who had their vacation plans thwarted....

 

Last pictures from our trip --

 

"The Frame" in its whole glory [you can see where the glass floor is] --

"Global Village" -- ethnic pavilions of almost all the countries --

Egypt's was among the "stars"

And countries we'll probably never visit

A flutist entertaining the masses

And the "magical garden" -- a whole flower airplane and "grass horses"

Glad to hear you and DH got home safely,  before security cancellations could've become an issue for you.  That would've been a nightmare, especially after the wonderful vacation you've enjoyed.  The many pictures are awesome, Dani!!  What a beautiful Country Dubai is!

You made me think of another possibility.  We have Amazon's "she who shall not be named" in almost every room of our house.  She may have heard me talking about Greg's surgery with Micheline.  Time to go see if there's some privacy setting for Alexa that I can tweak.

If you find out, Bob, please share it on here!  

Yesterday on FB, I was watching a little video where a mom told Alexa to play "This Little Heart of Mine" for her little toddler.  The Alexa in our living room began playing the song...lol!

Hockey tourney update… Owen didn’t miss any school today because it was closed for another snow day. 
 

Game situation. Owens team lost 3/1 but it was close. Owen scored the team’s only goal.
 

The tourney gives each team a player of the game award, for the winning and losing team. He got the player of the game tourney award from the coaches. His team also does a game award, to which his teammates the pick. Here’s Owen with that award.

Congratulations to Owen for being awarded MVP!!!!  I love the picture! (He's such a cutie!)

test kits out the wazoo🤣     I saw the exact same kits the government is giving out for free for sale at Walgreens for $9.99   In fact there was no shortage of test kits on their shelves.    Fully stocked now.

We had gotten our test kits from the government pretty quickly,  and I had bought 3 kits from CVS.  The cashier told me to hold on to my receipts, in case Insurance decides to cover the kits bought over the counter.

How are you guys today?     If I missed a post earlier sorry I have been working and periodically browsing the site   

We are ok.  See the cancer doctor Monday.  Hopefully, she will just change his meds around. Thanks for being here for us, appreciate it more than you know.

Thanks also Maryann.❤️

I don't like to ask too many questions about personal medical issues. I figure people will share what they are comfortable sharing. I just wanted to say that I truly hope all turns out well for you folks.

Thanks, I was hoping you would comment.  18 years ago, one year after his heart transplant, they found a neuroendocrine  tumor on his pancreas.  They removed it and all was well until seven years ago when they found the liver lesions.  He was doing well until this last MRI when two new lesions popped up. So we shall see what happens next.  He has no symptoms and feels great so, hopefully, that is a good thing.

There are 50 books in Parker’s “Spenser” series.  He also has a series with Jesse Stone and a series with Sunny Randall. I like all of them.  
 

I have to check, but I think there are new books out in each of those series too.  
 

I will probably wait till after we get back from our next cruise before getting on the library list for those. 

If anyone here likes trashy novels the wife of one of my friends from college has written about 20,Gloria Malette.

This has nothing to do with any discussion in here, but is anyone else getting official looking snail mail to extend their 2013 car warranty?  A few times a month??? This is going on almost 10 years and they follow me to every move I've made since then!

😝 <----- that's for the warranty company!

We have been getting snail mail and recorded telephone messages for our 2018 car.
