It is the 24th of May weekend--and it will be a holiday on Monday here---We used to sing,-"The 24th of May, is the Queen's Birthday, and if we don't get a holiday, we'll all run away"--I believe it began with Queen Victoria!
Son #2, is on his way to Spain--Granada--- 
He was at a beach in Gibraltar and he took a picture of the "Rock of Gibraltar"--- As kids, we always used to say, "That is as hard as the Rock of Gibraltar"--but I had no idea where that was--
--And------of course, he had to find a MacDonald's 
If yu look on their map, you will see that they are on their way to Granada----- in Spain, where his wife's family were from--
I hope that your weekend is relaxing--and if it doesn't seem to be, try to take time, and just think "Good thoughts"--that you ARE alive--- It is almost summer----be content with what yu get done--There is always to-morrow--AND Monday--I shall try to remember that everything turns out in the end, if I just have faith---
And, if we cannot be in Granada, we can read our book and maybe it will carry us to parts unknown-Well, ya never know! 
Remember to enjoy to-day-- There is no snow to shovel--no boots to put on--- and we are strong!
It is hair day--- plus a Dr is coming to examine Himself's head--- who by the way, to-day, is doing just fine---- ( I sometimes think that I need my head examined--- In fact, Mom used to tell me when I had done something wrong, that I needed my head examined!--- Funny what you remember from your childhood isn't it?)
It has been below zero for the past 2 nights-- COLD----I must tell yu all that the Hummingbirds are arriving daily--more everyday---Some told me that they stopped over at your feeders along the way-- AND----they brought all your good wishes up here , to us , in the North--
Remember to enjoy to-day-- There is no snow to shovel--no boots to put on--- and we are strong!
The pictures that Son#3 is sending are beautiful. Him and his family must be really enjoying this vacation. Today will be a very busy day for you again. I hope the doctor gets there and is able to give you some idea what is happening to Himself and if something can be done to help him. I hope you will get some relaxing time when you get your hair done. Thinking of you and sending hugs.
ReplyDeleteThanking yu for tohse hugs--Lynda
DeleteBeautiful pictures from pilot son. I had no idea what the rock of Gibraltar looked like. Thank you.
ReplyDeleteOf course himself is acting just fine today. Hoping this Dr. can help you out and direct you to help. Fill Dr. in, be direct and forthcoming with how things really are.
Enjoy hair day.
I can't believe how cold it is up there. Its gotta warm up soon.
Enjoy your pamper time.
Hugs
I never even thought the rock of Gibraltar was real-rain here tomorrow-Lynda
DeleteOH that is so wonderful that they’ll see DS#2’s wife’s family in Granada. Looks like a gorgeous place!
ReplyDeleteI sure hope you enjoy your pampering! You deserve it. AND hope that the Dr. can help.
For sure! Enjoying no snow, no shoveling! No frigid temperatures. I’ll take it!

No, I never got to the hair dresser--- but the Dr found Himself's Blood Pressure too low--plus he has lost about 10 ponds since he was here las year--Lynda-
DeleteHope the doctor appointment finally is consummated.
ReplyDeleteThe Dr FINALLY came--- after a year-- and I guess it helped--Lynda
DeleteIt's Kathy - WOW, the Rock of Gibraltar is something, isn't it! And I love the photos of the McDonald's. You get all these exciting places from your Son, that's amazing! Sorry it's so cold. It's a bit chilly at my house today too - with rain threatening. I did get 45 minutes in the garden this morning and felt some rain drops off and on but Daisy and I worked on! Good luck with the Doctor this afternoon!
ReplyDeleteSon#2's pictures are very nice. I feel like I've been there-and I never knew there really was the Rock of Gibraltar --We are supposed to get rain to-morrow-- I never did get to the Hair Dresser--Lynda
DeleteCan't wait to here what the doctor has to say. Good Luck . . . Have a great day!
ReplyDeleteWell, Himself told the Dr how to treat him-- They did find his blood pressure was very low so they took away one Blood Pressure pill--plus he has lost almost 10 lbs--is quite frail-Lynda
DeleteHope you had a good day and good news from the doctor!
ReplyDeleteThe Dr thinks Himself is very unique--- Himself was telling the Dr what to do--Can yu believe that?--Lynda
DeleteThat's funny! I need Himself here in Ohio. lol I am frustrated with my doctor right now.
DeleteGlad the doctor is finally coming. Of course himself is acting normal today.Hope you find a ay to let him know the truth. Enjoy hair day, And hopefully the weekend weather is ok. I am finally out o the hospital but still need the physio for more therapy. Brenda
ReplyDeleteOh Brenda you have had a rough go of it eh?-----=I did not get to the Hair Lady as that Dr stayed too long--Oh well---- It won't
Deletehurt for one week--Yu must feel so happy to get home-Lynda
Oh, do I remember what my mama said. I was gonna write a book...but someone beet me to it.
ReplyDeleteLovely photos. Wonder how many countries in the world have a McDonald's? Something to google when I remember.
Haven't seen any hummingbirds here, but there is an abandoned feeder in the back on our patio.
Cooler here, too. No cold really, just damp and chilly.
Think about what's good in life...right out of my Law of you know what. When you thinks something that's upsetting, pivot and think about what you love.
Glad Himself is better today. I'm sure he has ok days, good days and terrible ones.
I'm on here late tonight. Lucky needs running around with his wand with the mouse on the end, feeding, my night time pills and my comfy bed.
So, til the morrow...{{{HUGS}}}
Good Morning! I’m here reading daily, but just not a writer. I feel like I’m spying sometimes! Lol
ReplyDeleteOur hummingbirds are finally here. Idaho has had a late Spring. Actually, I think that we skipped Spring and went straight into summer! I planted flowers all day yesterday as well as weeded. Whew…. I’m sore today.
I’m glad that you will have someone to help you when you take himself to appointments. It’s tough. You always amaze me with your strength. I take out a friend often who has dementia and it is si hard physically as well as mentally. It is truly exhausting. But, it helps her husband as well as herself. I always have friends meet us so that I am not by myself and she hears a lot of chatter. I do feel for you.
Today I am volunteering and will be surrounded by good friends. I look forward to these days. I take my 90 pound golden doodle to doggy daycare and he is excited too! 😃
Have a wonderful day. I may not “chat” often, but I’m here and thinking about you.

Lynda you are a strong woman. Hope the dr. was able to shed light on something that can be done. Sending love and hugs...you need them.
