Happy Tuesday, dear Ooos!
You would never know that I spent hours unpacking, organizing, and putting party stuff away yesterday. My DR is still full of boxes and supplies. The table is covered with stuff. In my defense, it is a small room and table so there is that. ;)

In the afternoon, I had to take a break so I texted Tom to ask him if his friend who was taking pics would send them to me and give permission to scrap them. I took a few but never as many as I would like. And of course, I did something stupid. The camera on my phone is a decent one but doesn't have a lot of options to shoot other than Auto. I downloaded the Open Camera App on Saturday and did not give myself enough time to learn how to use it. I had to delete a lot of the photos I took because they were blurry and had a green tinge. Nothing like waiting until the last minute and then messing the photos up. Yes, I know better too :/
As Tom and I were texting, Cait texts me something about yogurt (??? :rolleyes: ) , and then she sends me a screenshot- she had texted him too, same time as me asking for pics. Actually, her text was "send pics" and he laughed that we were both asking him for pics at the same time-- except that I asked nicely and she was demanding them. hahaha!

(He also called me Mom ♥)

Today is Caitlyn's interview, I know she is going to do fine. She knows the ins and outs of that job and enjoys doing it. Her boss did some interview prep with her last night so I know she's got this. Just has to convince the hiring committee to feel the same. *fingers crossed!*

HAGD!! xo

@bcgal00 The naturalist club sounds wonderful and knowledgeable. Scott did/does a bit of mushroom foraging and I am always nervous that he's going to make a mistake but he knows exactly what to look for to identify the safe ones.
I am really happy for you, you seem to be settling into the new area so well and I can tell that you are physically feeling so much better and being active :)

@Lynn Grieveson Thank you! I haven't been this happy in a long, long time. Nothing like living vicariously through your kids' happiness but I will take it!

@Cherylndesigns If you have a party, Google "human bingo" and there are tons of premade cards, I had to make my own, of course ;)

I bet the next time all of your compound gets together, you would have a blast if you made one up with really obscure traits
Haha, it doesn't take much to throw me off on the days and dates too! Good luck getting it right the rest of the week.

Hope you are having a fab trip @LSlycord The B&B must be really nice, enjoy the breakfast!

Hope that @tanteva and @BrightEyes are feeling better and that @vickyday is enjoying her trip too
And Trudy, @taxed4ever -- hang in here--the family will be settled soon (I hope!!)

Oh boy I'm the first one up after you, Chris?? @faerywings Good morning, all. It's pretty quiet around here with so many gone - Kay @BrightEyes I hope you're feeling better and Eva @tanteva, you, too. Linda @LSlycord hope you're having safe and happy travels.

Chris @faerywings what a fun game that looks like - we could probably play that at one of our get togethers. It seems like more and more people are joining us. Adrienne and Roger's house is ginormous and perfect for big parties. I'm up early because I want to go to the alteration place today. They told me to come in any time and we couldn't fit it in yesterday. I have two new pairs of jeans that are too long. I asked her if they could shorten them but retain the stitching around the bottom. She said they could. Oh, to be just a couple of inches taller, or maybe about 2 sizes smaller - yeah that would work. #crazy

The party must have been a big success and Tom called you "Mom". Awwwwwwww #kiss

Sending good vibes to Cait for her interview - she'll do fine!

Need some caffeine now. HAGD everybody.

Good morning ladies. Had a great photo day trip yesterday. Today I'm packing, getting ready to leave first thing in the morning for our mini vacation in Vancouver. I'll bring my tablet so can chat a bit but it's a PITA trying to type on it. I'll be back later in the day on Saturday. I was outside for a few minutes with my camera after I fed the birds. I saw the doves waiting across the street, watching me, so I grabbed my camera, waited by the fence for a few minutes and then they came to eat. The two of them come around a lot but I don't usually get a chance to get any good photos b/c they are so skittish. Their young one stayed across the street until I left the yard, he is not comfortable at all around us or the dogs. So fun to photograph and watch.

@faerywings Good luck to C today. Sending good vibes. How sweet that T called you mom...awww. What a great fit he seems to be for the family.

@Cherylndesigns Me too, I wish I was taller, 5'4" just is a bit too short to reach a lot of things :)

I'm going to hop in the shower and get on with my day. HAGD everyone.

Have a great mini vacaction! Sounds wonderful and I'm glad I'm not the only shortie. I'm about 5'4" myself. UGH. I can never reach anything either

Speaking of living vicariously through our kids @faerywings, I have been hanging out to hear if M (youngest,20) had got a place in student housing. And yesterday she got an offer ... and she moves in 3 weeks! :oops: :eek:

She's excited but nervous and I am thinking how much we will miss her wonderful energy about the place. Fortunately she will literally be within walking distance for the first few months, until we move closer to my parents.

@bcgal100 and @Cherylndesigns I can only dream about being 5'4"! That would be so much better than a smidge over 5' :p. M is well over 6' and loves it, her Dad is 6' 5". We look ridiculous!

Thnx for all concern. I'm fine, but super busy. Working Mond, Tues, Wed, and Thur this week. Closing every evening, hence not home until 7pm. Then I have 2 super busy days, preparing for our trip to Vadstena. We're leaving on Sunday morning, and I need to pack (after I've managed to figure out what to pack) and I need to plan/prepare/cook food for my poor little tiny baby boy (only 24 yo) who's staying home, taking care of the cats.

I'm soooooo looking forward to the hotel. Thinking I might stay in the hotel bed all the time until we check out next Wednesday. LOL
