Thanks for info Jean and everyone else..if my hacking would stop I'd feel fine..ribs are killing me! oh well, not a big problem in scheme of things..

What happened was I had myself and 15 seniors, omg we travelled in an rv (me being the driver) and I was responsible for organizing the entire trip..wouldn't make plans, where we ended up we ended up..these yearly trips were sooo much fun..before then some hadn't been further than 100 miles away from home.

well we got 4 rooms by the Grace of God..we paired up in 4 to a room..I was exhausted, just fell asleep when one of the rooms called an asked if I'd come over..went over, here someone had done #2 in the med, flattened it out so the bed look made..when Mae (Darlene's mom) got into bed she couldn't lift the top sheet over her, got up turned on the lights and there you go...all dried up yuk yuk and double yuk..they did come to redo the bed but no discount or apology given..as it was a football weekend and no rooms we just stayed otherwise we'd have packed up and moved to alternate hotel..we still laugh when talking about our trips and Mae always brings up this incident..

On another trip we went to Floriday, one of the women who never went more than 25 m iles away from her home, can you imagine, well we took side trip to Miami, got a ship and went to the Bahama's, quite a trip for most of them..Lorraine panicked when we went up the escalator, grabbed onto the man in front of her who was wearing light shorts, she grabbed them and pulled, needless to say the shorts came down..another good laugh, NOT so for the man though..

so many memories of these seniors and our trips..all but 3 or 4 are alive..must try and find photo's..

one more, one trip again to Florida, included my grandmother who was in her high 90's..went to Tampa to the amusement theme park (forget the name - something gardens) doesn't matter, the seniors went on the big plume ride which included coming down into water..I was sooo pleased being frightened of high places that I could stay and watch along with my grandmother..short lived, no way she wasn't going...when the lineup saw my group they applauded..I worried grandma would have a heart attack, if not her, me for sure so off we went..

as we got off, the crowds went wild, I asked grandma how she liked it? "I had so much fun I pee'd myself!!!" lordy those are good memories, now how did I get from your post to going back in time???

Just finished more thread catchers..now 8 in total..think some will go in the bags I'm making up for those coming to the DG reunion here in May...Jean you might think about grabbing a flight and joining us..

Also on the outside of the porch a bird has made a nest..Missy has a perch, she can hear them but up to now can't get at the birdies..thank goodness...but here she sits waiting for her opportunity! In the background you can see the neighbors shed, what didn't get destroyed in our last high winds certainly did over the weekend..
