They were on the Island visiting her 103 year old grandmother! Also her father, my brother. We were so happy to see her and her family. Her little one didn’t want to leave, she kept finding toys all around. Some day we will have a toy free house, also waiting for an empty nest!!!! What a wonderful surprise! Empty nest? What's that? We lucked out in finding our home with attached apartment...mother/daughter home. We love our empty nest in Florida! Actually, we love having our grandsons around...they are such great kids! Jack has been busing tables at their dad's restaurant all Summer, and Ryan joined him for the first time last night! 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I just wonder what an empty nest would be like. That’s why we go to Atlantic City a lot, to get away for a bit. I told Charlie, however, we need to get a cheaper get away🥴 Not only do they keep us hopping, but they keep us young!😉 Or so they say! God, I love them!! 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare bobmacliberty Posted November 6, 2022 #76980 Share Posted November 6, 2022 We've been having a great long weekend. The golf course at our club has been closed for 7 months, going through a complete renovation. All new grass everywhere in addition to some reshaped fairways, greens, and bunkers. Thursday and Friday was our grand reopening tournament. The course is in spectacular condition. Last night was a grand reopening celebration with open bar, great food spread across several food stations, and live music from a good local band called Soundwavez. Yesterday afternoon, as a sort of warm-up for last night, we went to the Right Whale Festival. I had never heard of Right Whales until the day before yesterday. They are near extinction, with less than 350 left, and there has been a lot of effort of the last several years to help bring them back to a more normal population level. They feed and mate during the summer off the coast of New England and Canada, and then move to NE Florida/Georgia/Carolinas to give birth and raise their young. The festival had live music, tents with various vendors selling things or making people aware of their environment/animal focused efforts, food trucks, and a small beer garden. The weather was perfect...maybe even a little hot in the sun...at 80F. The Seaworld animal rescue truck was there with a Crested Caracara, or at least so I was told. To finish the weekend, we are headed to our local football bar in a couple of hours to watch the Bills play one of the teams from New Jersey. A win would be a great way to end a great weekend. Go Bills! 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJ 🙋🏻 You're not kidding about the colors (and cobwebs..lol) We have two stained glass windows in our living room. When we moved to this home 6 years ago, I thought one of the colors on the windows were brown. I seriously couldn't believe that they are actually in the purple family, and not brown at all! I also couldn't believe the color of my Hellman's mayonnaise! It looked so weird to me!🤷♀️ 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Luckynana Posted November 6, 2022 #76983 Share Posted November 6, 2022 12 hours ago, helen haywood said: Today I sorted through my closet to separate the clothes I will take when we move versus what I’ll leave for the sale. I first took out what I want the movers to pack and then shoved the stuff that will stay to the back. However, when I went to put the clothes that will go with me back in the closet in the front space…it began to look like it all could not fit back! Sort of like if you unpack an appliance then decide to return it…you cannot get the appliance and all the packing material back in the box. As I have a huge closet I’ve never needed to downsize. So I still have clothes from the era when we went to formal balls…. And when we lived in a town where people dressed up for parties…where we went out to dressier restaurants. Between that lifestyle change…and moving to a warmer climate…I’m only taking about 1/8th of my closet. 🤭 Don't be in a big rush to get rid of a jacket or long pants! I keep those in my closet in Naples for the occasional cool/cold days that we've experienced during the Winter months in Florida. Long sleeves, also! It does happen!🙄 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lionesss Posted November 6, 2022 #76984 Share Posted November 6, 2022 Good Sunday Morning. So, Friday I received the Shingles and Flu vaccine. Yesterday was an interesting day. Now the injections sites were not inflamed or red. But on that arm my elbow hurt like the dickens. Also, I felt achy and laid around most of the day till we went to mass at 4:30pm Today, just some lower back achyness but over all good. Since I started re walking a month ago, I already wore out the support in my sneakers. So off to Grove city outlets with 20% off coupon I got online. (Sketchers) So we will walk up and down all the store rows and hope to hit our 10,000 steps. One day I will be at the level of Mark and Susan. Also time to use the extra Coach coupon $20 off. Then go to Bath and Beyond and use their coupon. Damn, I hope things are not marked up to get the benefit of the coupons. Then home and chill the rest of the day. Hope all are well. Take care. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

What will you do with them? Having an estate sale the month after the movers move us. The estate sale company said “Don’t throw anything away!” (Hmmm…so maybe those old airplane tires DH has had in the barn for over a decade will get rehomed?!) I’m hoping most everything from furniture, clothes, bric-a-brac, etc will be gone. Whatever is left we’ll get a construction dumpster and haul away. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I end up going through about 4 pair a year though. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bonnie last year I had an epiretinal membrane pealed plus cataract done at the same time with a new lens put in. No pain but much improved vision. The eye drops prevented any pain during the op and I had no pain afterwards. The surgeon said I had a minor cataract in my other eye and I pushed to get that done ASAP and it was done 6 months later. I was delighted with the result. I only need reading glasses now and not the expensive varifocal glasses. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
