Summer Sunday. . .
I have been busy with my family and it has been a most excellent vacation, first to Florida to spend time with my daughters and grandchildren there and we had a very nice visit, no arguments or bad feelings whatsoever and then home with Sami, my oldest grandchild of 14 now, to visit with me, her uncle and the youngest grandchildren. It has been fun, we hit NYC first and had an incredible adventure walking the city, seeing some of the sights and spending time with my cousin and her family, we missed the NYC fireworks because I wanted to see them on the Jersey side and it was not a friendly town for parking, so we saw lights of local fireworks on the turnpike ride home (lol), then it was to the Jersey Shore, where Sami and I spent time with my son and his family at the Shore house, we went to Ocean City to the boardwalk and the amusement park, where Avery wanted Sami to ride all the rides with her and Sami being a good sport, accommodated her little cousin, of course I spent $15 on a picture of the two of them on the baby roller coaster ride for me and Avery's Mom (2 keychain pics) and then we spent the next two days relaxing on the beach. Today we are home, it will be a shopping day at the outlets, as Sami has held onto her money, which I applauded her for, since she said, she did not want to spend it at the beginning part of her trip. She came to have pizza and she has had it once a day every day since she arrived (lol). Tomorrow we shall go to Philadelphia and Tuesday, my last day off, we shall go to NYC one more time to try and see what she did not see the first day. I will be happy to go back to work (lol)! Sami will probably be bored a bit on Wednesday and Thursday, as I will be at work, but on Thursday, my DIL will pick her up and take her to the Shore house, where I will meet up with them after work on Friday and then on Sunday she will go home. So that's been my busy ness of this time. It has been a good vacation and Sami is a lot of fun!
Wishing each and everyone of you the best of life and peace and strength for those moments when life throws a curve ball.
Hugs, Laureen

Wow, I am tired just thinking about all you have done in the past two weeks. Wow. Isn't it great the energy we have now that we are free of those excess pounds? I'm glad you are enjoying your time with your granddaughter.
I was in New York on Thursday nigh****ching my poor Phillies lose to your Mets. It was a great game till the 9th inning. Chris got a hold of sweet club box seats, where we had an air conditioned lounge with a hot food buffet with real food, in addition to hot dogs and nachos. They even had a dessert bar where you could make ice cream sundaes. It was very nice.
Today, has me still recuperating from my surgery last week. My arm is itchy, and the itchiness is surrounding the bandages on one of the arms I had surgery. So, Iam taking Benadryl to calme the itchiness. If it still bothers me this evening I'll head to my doctor's tomorrow. What I'm most concerned about is that the wound is right near where I had a shingles rash. Ick.
Have a blessed day.

Ahh Trish, I was excited to see that game you speak of, Tony sent me a text message saying they were losing going into the 9th and I thought, game ain't over until the last out and my son turned on the game and sure enough, it was sweet for me to see, but the funny part was earlier on the boardwalk in Ocean City, the Phillie Fanatic was there and I took pictures of him, I LOVE the Phillie Phanatic, so much more of a good mascot then boring old Mr. Met (lol). Anyway, hope you feel better and yes, like if wonderful with less poundage to carry around. . .
