Friday the 13th! LOL, ever since youngest DD was born on a Friday the 13th our family has considered it a lucky day.

Peps, waiting for pics of the Musketeers!

CC, I hope you like the interior decorator's ideas once she finally shows up.

Yesterday was a good day with DS. He was a bit under the weather but we were still able to do what we had planned including visiting the botanical garden nearby. Today will be a relatively quiet day as the dolphin/manatee cruise we had booked was cancelled due to predicted bad weather late this morning. DS may go to the movies during the bad weather which hopefully clears as forecast by mid-afternoon.

Time to finish my coffee then get out for our walk before the rain comes. Have a fine Friday!

Driving home I saw someone carrying a Justice looking dog down the street. They were all dressed for a walk, but I imagine the ice was a bit much for the little guy. He looked very regal in his owner's arms and it made me think of all the fun pictures you post of Justice. Some pups are just princes! Maybe Peps has 3 young princes to raise.

Friends, I have found my diet mojo. Something completely unexpected and stunning. The Aunt and Uncle who we are leaving to see shortly, emailed us with a proposal to discuss on the plane. Would we like to join them on an all expense paid Wind star Cruise from Dublin to Edinburgh this summer? They feel they could manage the trip if they had some help, and wondering if we would consider it. (My uncle has Parkinson's). We love to spend time with them anywhere, which is why we are flying to see them this weekend. Would we like to hang out with them on a luxury cruise? Gee, I think so!!! Time to get serious about being able to carry things, and climb hills, and have good stamina. I have until July 3. A great incentive. Our trip to Italy really kicked my butt into workout gear, this will do the same. They have already reserved the suites, so they are serious. They said if we can't go, they can still cancel. Feeling a little overwhelmed, Wind star Cruises are not even on my maybe someday list...

So, leaving for the airport soon, hope everyone enjoys the 3 day weekend!

Yay go for it! ds

Absolutely! Great fun for us, and also delighted to help my Aunt and Uncle make another trip to Europe. They are 80 and 83, one with Parkinsons. Time is marching g on.

Pre VSG we went to Scotland and Ireland. Great trip. Edinburgh is definitely a walking city. We took a tour of these underground medieval housing sites. So interesting and peculiar. So get ready to walk walk walk! ds

How exciting!!

What a fantastic opportunity! BTW, 18 days of our time in Tahiti is on a Windstar cruise.

I met with the designer and her assistant. I liked her. She does Labrador rescue, how could I not?

Sounds like a slow process, but hopefully will be a fun one.

Unfortunately, my dad noticed his stent wasn't draining this afternoon, so he and Claudia took off for Flagstaff Medical Center where they have a interventional radiology department (where they change these stents). Hopefully they caught it soon enough that he doesn't feel bad this time. Once again, he is a few days from a trip to Mayo to have it changed when it happened. (Though this happened in early December too). I think the tube is so small, it doesn't take much to clog it. And not having a bladder makes sensing an infection hard. At least it happened prior to the weather/snow coming in tomorrow.

Hoping with you they caught it early and he's feeling well quickly.

I hope your Dad is doing okay.

I agree with Diane S. on the benefits of mixing styles/colors. And those southwest colors seem like they reflect the beautiful surroundings in Sedona.
