He's refused to eat anything though drank lots of water and oat milk, and then on the way home brought it up all over himself. Hopefully he'll bounce back soon 🙏 Poor baby! I hope Isaac feels better quickly 3 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Luckynana Posted June 16, 2023 #95981 Share Posted June 16, 2023 Last night was the last of our four grandchildren's Graduations, and tomorrow will be the last of the parties. Ryan's 8th Grade Graduation was last night on the High School football field. Weather was perfect, Commencement went quickly. It really was a lovely evening. Today we had lightening, thunderstorms, and we were under Tornado watch. Tonight is the High School Senior Graduation, and I truly hope the students and families get through the entire Commencement without any more storms. It begins at 6:00 pm and it's damp and cloudy right now, 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Have a wonderful time, gives those grand babies lots of hugs from all of us 💖 52 minutes ago, Luckynana said: Several years ago, while on FB, I became aware of a young boy named Marik who had gone through several bouts of Cancer. I followed his Mom's posts about all of Marik's ups and downs with this horrible disease, occasionally contributing to help this family fulfill Marik's Bucket List. One of his wishes was to meet Dwayne Johnson "The Rock" while visiting in California. Mr. Johnson went over and above with Marik and his family. I can't say enough good things about The Rock who was most generous with not only his time but also gave Marik some of the video games that was on his list, etc. Marik passed away just before his 16th Birthday. Today would have been Marik's 21st Birthday, which brings me to tell you about one of the items on his Bucket List. His Mom shared this morning that the one thing that Marik always wanted, but that his Mom was adamant about his not having, was an alcoholic drink. She worried about any bad reactions this would have on his medications. Well, one day, Marik had finally run his Mom down. He really wanted to try alcohol. She gave in, rumaged around the liquor in the cabinet, and brought out a bottle of Kraken. (and this is why I'm telling you about Marik. Marik and the Kraken!) His Mom poured a shot glass full of Kraken and handed it to Marik, expecting him to take a sip and spit it out and never ask again. She was wrong, however. He was standing in the kitchen on one leg (his other had been amputated years earlier). He picked up his shot, held it up, and downed it like a professional. He than slammed the shot glass down, screamed "LIKE A BOSS", and hobbled off to his room. He never did ask for another drink, and his Mom said she was glad she let him have that small experience so very long ago. So, here's to that brave young Warrior, Marik, on his 21st Birthday in Heaven. Slainte! Cheers Malik 🥂🍹🍻 3 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That cute pretty kitty has grown up to be a lover girl with attitude. You enjoy sitting on laps, playing with pipe cleaners, and climbing up on our dresser to admire yourself in the mirror. But you have the most fun setting off house alarm. You make our life a complete family. Here’s to many more. Wow...that year went by so fast. Happy birthday Lizzie. You are beautiful.

Awful to see the little ones unwell. Be a relief when he does bounce back. Glastonbury tickets - rare very rare. In a last ditch attempt after 5 years of trying - there was a tech “war room” in both families homes and all devices and all family members involved plus the two girls in London were doing their best to secure tickets too. Finally in the last 5 mins, her Sydney BF secured tickets. 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keksie Posted June 17, 2023 #95996 Share Posted June 17, 2023 (edited) Finally made it to Tampa. We couldn't leave until: The power came back on We got the big branches off the driveway We uprighted the potted plants We called the neighbor about their large tree that fell near the front of the property. We texted the house sitters to just ignore the leaves, small, medium and large branches plus the tree and to not park under any of the trees while we are gone It was an exciting morning. The hotel is nice and filled with dogs that are here for the dog show across the street. I love dogs! Edited June 17, 2023 by Keksie 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We never stay in suites and we're Emerald status. I'm not complaining. All of our cruises have been wonderful with diet cokes and the occasional adult beverage, for me anyway. One bottle of Moscato is enough for me for the entire cruise.

My first more than 50 cruises were not in suites , I didn’t know suites existed, started in inside cabins , back then in 70’s balconies didn’t exist . We never had children so our extra money went into cruises, our first suite was a free upgrade and we were hooked , same as flying first class once you do it you want to continue if it is in your price range, we have no debt , no car payment, we will need to adjust a little when my wife retires in a couple of years, but rather do less vacations and do them first class . Everyone chooses how they spend their money . 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
