Allison, I didn't get to take you to the other 2 places, next time. :)

Denville, NJ(Zone 6b)

that's good... we didn't have room for much more!!!!.. told Randy we need a cover for the bed.. LOL

I would love the meandering walk through your place... like I do here.. but it won't take me 5 mins there

;)

South China, ME(Zone 5a)

I didn't even take you down to the brook, too wet for that....maybe in the Fall. ;)

(Ronnie), PA(Zone 6b)

Allison sounds like a great trip! I wouldn't like the snow either...
Jan prayers for your son hope all goes well♥
Karen glad to hear at least you found a place for your dad, I'm sure the piano will help.

If I get one more mosquito bite I'm going to scream...need to find a bug repellent that is safe and doesn't have a smell or make me light headed...any suggestions. I use Off's natural one last year and it still made me feel funny.

South China, ME(Zone 5a)

Ronnie, because of Justin's meds, bug bites really affect him and since he has enough medical problems...deet is not something I use. I use these on him instead.....he has a wait band one and usually 2 in the area he's in. ^_^

central, NJ(Zone 6b)

Praying for your son Jan

I am allergic to something in my house, inside my nose is stuff when we go out I am fine

Salem Cnty, NJ(Zone 7b)

Thank you. I'll call him this evening to find out things went. Also this evening will go around the corner and watch the grandies there open a box that will have either pink or blue balloons in it to find out what their new sibling will be. Very excited!!

Will be looking forward to the tour in 2015, Pixie.

(Ronnie), PA(Zone 6b)

That's exciting Jan, do they have a preference? How many grandies do you have?

Pepperell, MA(Zone 6a)

an 18 yr. old teenager here was sentenced to one year in jail for causing a fatal car accident because he was texting - MA has passed a can not text while driving law a year or so ago - he claimed he wasn't texting at the time of the accident - he had sent like 350 text messages that day - who needs to text that often - he should have been given more jail time..

still have never sent a text in my life

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

Yes, one year is a joke. Should do 20 and never be allowed to drive.

Pepperell, MA(Zone 6a)

not sure about 20, 3 might be reasonable and not allowed to text again driving or not.

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

He killed someone. At least 20.

On this D Day anniversary, nice to think about those who gave their lives that day for us all. Heard the last living widow of a D Day soldier on the radio this AM. Amazing.

Thomaston, CT

Special day, for sure......Bill, if that was your granddaughter he killed, you'd want him put away for a long time.....there are all kinds of warnings against texting....no excuse.....I've seen adults doing it as well, wish I had a cannon on my hood!

central, NJ(Zone 6b)

My step mil's father was in Normandy that day

Pepperell, MA(Zone 6a)

yes i would marilyn - i will up it to 5 yrs - bankrobbers get 20

Lower Hudson Valley, NY(Zone 6b)

I am with you, Marilyn. It really infuriates me. People get into their car and are on the dang phone before they even put on their seatbelt and pull away.

Salem Cnty, NJ(Zone 7b)

I don 't text either. Every time my cell rings I kind of jump cuz it surprises me, especially if it is in my pocket cuz I have it set to vibrate first then ring.

It was cute! They had a big box all wrapped up. We got her parents on with Skype to share in the excitement. They counted down and then the kids tore off the paper and out floated 3 BLUE balloons. Maggie the 4 yr old started to cry. She wanted a sister. It really was very cute!! This will make 10 grandies. Excitement in the Jackson house tonight!

Very thankful for all those that gave their lives on DDay and all the other days in service to our country.

S of Lake Ontario, NY(Zone 6a)

People in cars are crazy even not texting, I was approaching a red light tonight, took my foot off the gas and coasted to the light, guy behind me laid on the horn. We both still had to stop at the light.

South Hamilton, MA

The guy got 2 1/2 1 yr actually served in jail. He had been driving for 5 months. He will not be able to drive again until age 33. I bet he does anyway.

(Ronnie), PA(Zone 6b)

Aww Jan congrats on the upcoming grandson! Ten is a lot, I would love it but won't ever see that many. My brother has nine 8 boys and one girl. Crazy in their house at Christmas!

Lexington, MA(Zone 6a)

My cousin was at DDay in Normandy. A few years ago he went there for a reunion and said it was very moving.

Salem Cnty, NJ(Zone 7b)

Great pics, Allison. I want that shower, too!!

I would love to see the poppy fields near Normandy. Very moving for sure.

Don't have answers about my son except his spleen was enlarged as well and the liver enzymes were over 500. They are doing more testing and will include looking for unusual cells. He sees an ENT for the ear issue next week. Apparently he has lost 13 lbs. Which on him is not a lot, but that is since Memorial Day. My DIL is the one who called and I am thankful that she is his advocate with the doctors. It's always good to have an extra set of ears. I am glad I am in HIS hands, cuz otherwise I think I'd be worrying.

Denville, NJ(Zone 6b)

extra ears & voices are always good in those situations.. hoping for the best Jan

Fairfield County, CT(Zone 6b)

Did we already talk about our "Digital Estates"? http://www.dailymail.co.uk/news/article-2153548/Family-fights-access-sons-Facebook-Gmail-accounts-suicide.html

Thomaston, CT

Jan, hoping for the best news for your DS.....a new boy coming into the family...yay! Allison, loved the tour....the waterfall was impressive.....lots of water in Maine right now! Memory, that's weird....

Denville, NJ(Zone 6b)

Celeste & Brian made good tour guides!!!

South China, ME(Zone 5a)

The water @ the falls was roaring compared to a hot day in July! Can you believe people jump from the right hand side of the cliff down into the pools??

Salem Cnty, NJ(Zone 7b)

YOWSER!!!

Denville, NJ(Zone 6b)

yeah I see a no more walking situation if I did that

Thomaston, CT

Not me!

Southwest , NH(Zone 5b)

Jan- happy congrats on the new grandee! Hoping for nothing to worry about with DS. Prayers coming your way for a good outcome!

Salem Cnty, NJ(Zone 7b)

Thank you dear!

Halifax, MA(Zone 6a)

Terrible about that kid texting and causing that accident. He'll have to live with that the rest of his life.

Jan, good wishes and prayers for your DS. Congrats on the new grandee!

Nice pics, Allison.

Just announced a RU at my place in July. Here's the link: http://davesgarden.com/community/forums/t/1263704/
