Hi Everyone,

I went to Walnut Creek, Ca. just outside SF to visit my daughter and 3 grandchildren.

Testing being in the real, real, real world. Flying was a challenge with getting water in my body and those great plane aisles and chairs and belts ... OH MY!

Protein finding was a true treasure hunt after they took my supplies away from me at security!

Loved the cherry trees in bloom and green grass and 70's.

It was a BIG learning trip.. about my body , mind and spirit.

Greatest WOW .. grandchildren only see YOU and love YOU for who YOU are... big , small, bald, even a bit green around the gills on some days (the food) that was my most renewing life lesson.

Now back to the COLD but refreshing weather and spring will come soon.

Gratefull to be among my warm hearted friends again,

MJ

MJ, I'm leaving on vacation this Saturday, What supplies did they take from you? I'm wondering what I can bring for protein. Children are great, they do love you for who you are. When I'm down I snuggle with my little guy, he always makes me feel better.

Oh My !

That was the hardest part...protein! As I was only 2 months out it was so tricking and with security.

This is what did get through... packets of Propel to mix in the water I had to buy after going through security check.

I did get two protein bars passed OK'd.

If you are out longer try some peanuts or almonds.

I did buy yogurt at one place going and coming. Tomato juice on the plane and extra water.

I am still working on the getting my water back up to 7 ..cups plus 3 milks.

So really drink tha****er. I could not find skim milk only the yogurt.

Bad news on the wait for my flight home I really needed protein and spent $13.00 for a salad just to get some cooked chicken that was on the top. Plus the chicken was SOOOOOO dry and had a yuck taste... in the dump it went. Most expensive two bites of chicken I ever had or will have.

Good Luck and Safe travel. Prays for your MOM.

MJ, I didn't know you were leaving town - I nearly called out the search team when I couldn't get a hold of you!!!  (Thanks to Tracy for enlightening me.... that could have been embarassing!) Glad you're home, hope to see you Wednesday at group, and happy that your GRANDKIDLETS opened your eyes to the unconditional love WE all feel for you!!!
