Not a bunch but still snow. I remember when it snowed in NY where I lived in April, once on Easter Sunday.

They have been saying they wanted a small wedding. When covid hit they started thinking about doing something outdoors at a park or on the beach in LBI. Then in 2021 they started looking at buying a house. They made offers on a couple homes in 2021 and 2022 but were always outbid. We had offered to gift them money to help with downpayment and closing costs so they would have a more attractive offer to a seller. They gave up for now with mortgages rates in the 7s and very few homes for sale. Donna is from a family that has struggled to keep their head above the water since she was little girl so she is very understanding of money and just didn't see the need to "waste" money on a couple hours for a wedding. She now has a great job and is a great saver. We are looking at as if they are eloping. We treated for their cruise last March, their first one. On that cruise I had suggested maybe get married on a cruise or on a island. They liked that idea but Donna didn't think her family would be able to attend. We are treating as a wedding gift the cruise next March. They are both really excited!! Yes, it's a shame we won't be there to see their nuptials but we are okay with that and will enjoy a nice dinner with immediate family on Thursday. Little confused here, So Donna's parents will be at the wedding but you won't? If Donna's Parents won't be at the wedding anyway..........then I see no reason to not have a little wedding on one of the islands on your March Cruise....... So Donna's parents won't be at that wedding either? but a Win, Win for you because you will be on the cruise with them. 🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Temps plunging below freezing by tomorrow night. Your NY temps are higher than mine in Dallas. 42 here with a high of 51, low 30s at night. Bright sunshine and lovely to be outside with a very light jacket. 42 here seems warmer than I remember 42 in NY where I lived. Maybe the position of the sun? 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or no humidity or ocean breezes? When my step-daughter was living in Houston where it seems to be perpetually humid, she would say a Houston 40 feels like a New York 20. 😃 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Joint stiffness and little flexibility is the main issue. Doctor not keen on giving hip steroid injections. I’m way behind and trying to catch up, but want to say having a knee replacement and a hip replacement are totally different. (Except for the Hibiclens prep.) I had PT after both…hip was so less painful than the knee that I honestly don’t remember any pain. The knee would get inflamed or just overworked and be painful for at least six months , the only reminder of my hip surgery was the scar. By a year out, the knee felt like I was born with it, the hip felt that way by a month out. A bad hip can cause debilitating falls. In my case, it wasn’t falls, it was pain that decided me. So, Graham, if orthopedist recommends a replacement, I’d think seriously about doing it. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckynana Posted November 12, 2022 #77717 Share Posted November 12, 2022 16 hours ago, Sunshine3601 said: We won't be there. 😥They are doing their own thing with Justice of Peace at a courthouse in Philadelphia. They decided it would be tough to have a bunch of family due to way the JOP handles things. Also, Chris didn't want Donna to be upset since her parents are divorced and her Father lives out of country and her Mother out of state. I was told they have someone at the courthouse that can take a video as a keepsake. A bunch of us will go out to dinner Thursday night then they will go out to dinner with friends Friday night. Their choice, their special day so I'm just going with the flow and respecting their wishes to not have anything big for them. We are all looking forward to cruising together again next March.🥰 As you said, it is their Day. Sometimes, there's just too much drama at some affairs. One of our daughters got married at the JOP for her 2nd Marriage, and this marriage is a solid one!!! This just reminded me of my dear friend's Wedding in Delaware over 40 years ago. I was her Maid of Honor, and we were stuck in so much beach traffic, that I hopped into the back seat of our car and got changed into my outfit...we had to meet them at the JOP and got there just in time! Congratulations to Chris and Donna!!!!💕💕 6 hours ago, A&L_Ont said: Owen’s football season finished with a loss last week, so their season is over. Hockey is well into full swing. Three games this week, with three wins. Last night he had three assists and a goal. They are currently second in their division. School marks have been rolling in and midterm marks are due this week. Those have been solid, with marks between 78-95. Great job, Owen!!! 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo Posted November 12, 2022 #77725 Share Posted November 12, 2022 Sneak Preview of one of the Cabinets that will be installed starting this Monday. This Cabinet design was helped by @dani negreanu and her husband (Thanks). The top opening is for the Microwave/2ndOven Combo, the middle Opening below is for a drawer and the opening below you can barely see that is for the Air Duct return. 🙂 Also this picture should give you an better idea of the color of the cabinets that we will have against the walls, the island will be a different color. 17 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
