I talked with my sister about why we go, and we agree, it is the right thing no matter what happens when we are there. He takes in more than we think, and surprises us with sudden comments. Yes, little Charlotte has a strong family resemblance - it will be fun to watch her grow, won't it?

The short notice they gave did not impress me either.

Lovely flowers as always, and I love the tea-set and blue porcelain vase and box. <br /><br />Years ago, I lost my US Air frequent flyer miles after making a dress buy to keep them. They keep pesting you to book a trip. I was one flight away from getting my free trip, but had nowhere to fly at the time, so needless to say, all my rewards points evaporated, which didn't endear me to the airline. Reward points are earned (not easily) and shouldn't be taken away, IMO.

I will try to get my jab earlier next year. <br />It is becoming disheartening visiting my father - he was always so appreciative, but lately you get very little from him. However, we believe it is important to continue to give him family time every week. <br />xxPatriciahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11685403215601517267noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1579555037165364084.post-65038438731557491072016-05-02T01:47:20.727-07:002016-05-02T01:47:20.727-07:00Oh Patricia you poor girl - those bugs are so nast...Oh Patricia you poor girl - those bugs are so nasty.<br />I'm so glad to hear you say you have turned the corner and ready to face the world again!<br />I'm still debating whether to have the flu jab.
