Leaving in a few minutes to drive to NJ to see my mom for Christmas.
Hoping that by leaving today we may be avoiding some traffic (HA!).
Pray that we have a large enough airbnb. Youngest spawn and her partner will be staying with us.
I'll only have my ipad with me, and Safari doesn't seem to like ProBoards, so won't be back until Tuesday morning.
Have a peaceful holiday, and enjoy spoiling the Nugget John - you know we want pictures!

Wow. I use nothing but safari and have no issues. At least, not with this site. Happy holidays!  |

I have issues on some networks because proboards sometimes doesn't keep their security certs updated. Changing browsers is usually unsuccessful in those places.

Back! And that's my issue too John - don't know why Safari blows up on this site. Got to see my mom and sisters, along with the younger spawn and her boyfriend. Mom is doing well, but is very frail and becoming very forgetful. But at 95.5, that's to be expected. And she's still stubborn as shit, so somethings never change  Sisters are doing well - two have retired, eldest one this year. She was a college librarian, and her daughter got free tuition as long as my sister was still working FT. Daughter now has her degree (yay!) and my sister has retired. Nice holiday, but glad to be home. |

Glad to see you made it home in one piece and had a good trip.
Tough to see them slipping no matter what their age. However, I can't and never will be able to understand how there's seemingly no rhyme nor reason when you have some physically and especially mentally high functioning into their 80s and 90s, and then others that fade out and are gone in their 60s and 70s. My old man started getting "forgetful" in his mid 60s and was in "memory care" by the time he was 70.
We had everyone over here on Sunday. It was pretty hectic but that's not a bug it's a feature, I know. We had a quiet morning yesterday which was a nice breather because I was completely roached and could have easily skipped going to the daughter's place for the afternoon. It was much lower key since it was pretty much just having a couple of cocktails, playing with Nugget, and the dogs, and a simple-ish dinner. I must have gluteal glaucoma because I can't see my ass getting off this recliner today. Might have a pic or two to post later.

He has gotten so big! And he's cute as a button too!
My friend Kelly did Christmas Eve for the grandparents, then Christmas morning for the grandkids - they were out at 9:30am, so she had a nice relaxing day for a change. Which makes me happy, cause she definitely needed that.
I was bad and went to the after Christmas sales yesterday. Got a nice Swig (insulated cup) at 1/2 off, and a bunch of books (40% off). I am done like dinner!

He's still a full month out from being a year and a half. Can't get over how he holds his hands behind his back like alfred the butler.... well, or like his grandad when the cops show up. You decide.
