I think she doesn’t know how to loosen up a bit with them. She was the take charge, follow the rules parent. I don't know, but can Mom say "Your'e going with us. We need you with us! Period. Please honey?" I believe sometimes people want to directly hear it and not be asked if they want to do something. Kind of not wanting to be burdened with decision making but Mom or dad making a decision for them for a change (?) so that they do not feel guilty of having some fun. If you were near me I would hug you so hard Marietta! I feel for you. Edited August 3, 2022 by Arzeena 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The ArriveCAN asks for our Passport or other form of ID, as well as our Vaccination info to be downloaded. I haven't tried the app yet, but will do so, since my Chromebook was giving me trouble downloading my info. If you go on the CC Boards and go to NE/Canada there is a thread on ArriveCAN.

It was free and takes you all around Miami. We stayed at the Hampton Inn in Brickell. Catty-corner was a place called Coyo Taco that has great fish tacos. Not sure I would travel that far for it. Not far from you is Bayside Marketplace. We enjoyed going there. When we were there they had live music going on. We were there during the day. Might be worth researching if you are looking for something to do. My most memorable time was getting to stay a couple extra days. 😆 My husband and I went to Bayside on our first date in 1987. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like that hotel. The convenience of the mall between DT and Marriott is great. Illy coffee shop and I love Tony Chan's there too. Publix in walking distance. We have walked to Bayshore from the DT. It was quite a walk but good to digest the Cuban dinner we had. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

helen haywood Posted August 3, 2022 #66836 Share Posted August 3, 2022 Not the same situation as Marietta’s daughter, but when we were first married I’d ask DH if he wanted to go on a particular trip…. He generally enjoys staying home…so I missed out on some trips I wish we had done. Finally I realized that however much he’d grump about traveling…once we were there he had a good time. Once I realized this…he never got a vote again…I just tell him when and where we are going. So much easier! 10 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

They simply didn't give me a choice and would just say you're coming or we won't have a very good time. In the end I was almost always glad I caved and went. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My cooking skills extend to peeling a [purple]sweet potato and placing it in the microwave... but forgetting to tap "start"... BTW, white or purple sweet potatoes have a "chestnut" taste. So glad we discovered them during the Covid lockdown, when we tried to shop at open farmers' market. 1 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And we have a wash washy weekend twice a year to clean all the sets. Even though some of each gets used throughout the year. I love all of these, especially the top pattern with the roses. China dishes and tea parties make me so happy. And this post reminded me of the “melting” teapot art I saw on Ovation. When we got married, the china was my favorite thing we received. We’ve used it a lot over the years. I love it so much. Here’s my pattern: Here’s my grandmother’s pattern. She lived to age 98. I have a couple of place-settings of each of our grandmother’s china. Here’s Brian’s grandmother’s pattern. She lived to be 100! 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
