Prayers all goes easily at Walmart dear Lynn. Thanks dear Bobbi. Hug, get some rest.
(bolding mine) - That's a good way to put "spring" in New England too!Good afternoon. Not going to be as warm here today, yesterday we hit about 82 by 2 PM according to my car. Right now it's in the 60's. Mother Nature is still on the Bipolar side.
@bobbiwoz - Glad you are enjoying your trip. That meal looks so good but sadly I can never eat shrimp and scallops again. I do miss them.
andI am sorry I haven't been commenting but have been dealing with a lot . My dad is not doing well, and my brothers have decided to confront my parents about getting a home health aide so my mom can go out with peace of mind. They are waiting for my brother in Virginia to come up next week to do some work at my parents' house and for my dad's birthday. The reasoning is that my brother is the oldest. When I pointed out that I am actually the oldest sibling I was told we are a PATRIARCHAL family, and he is the eldest BROTHER. I was actually a bit angry and ended the conversation. Let them deal with it, I always said I was an outsider in the family since I was the only girl.
Congrats on winning, and what a great idea to pay it forward! I'm in charge of some of the raffle baskets for a comedy night DH's Lodge does, and I'm always looking for ideas. - Were any of the ones there big hits / something you'd recommend duplicating?I went to a BINGO for Benny's school...I am splitting that into 2 baskets for the raffle table at the Church Tea. There were that many things in the basket that I can easily do the split, one for boys and one for girls. The games were to advanced for LJ and to babyish for Ben and Wyatt so I had the excitement of winning and now can pay it forward. I am keeping the jigsaw puzzle. I haven't done one of them in years.
I do the raffles for the teas at church too. The big hits are always my mom's handmade things. This year it's a crocheted blanket with Winnie the Pooh cross stitched in yarn. Other than that sports are big ones as I have a contact with the Phillies but most teams will contribute usually.Congrats on winning, and what a great idea to pay it forward!

So far, I always do a summer one in some kind of soft-sided cooler (with beach towels, wine glasses, that sort of thing...) and last year one full of various little picture frames was an unexpected hit, so I may do that again. But I'd like to come up with something new and different as well.
Enjoy your day. I have one of those magnets that was given to me on a visit! Always nice to receive.@flyingdumbo127, let’s pray that Dr. S helps your dad!
Sleep eluded me last night, and so, I got up to read and took 2 sleep aides, so we are not up and out yet. Yesterday, we did ride the bikes and swam. Saw flying pelicans at the beach! I have so many pictures of them flying in formation….it’s something we don’t have in Cape May, we see one or two infrequently.
We ate at Sea Shack, which is my favorite sea food restaurant. I had grilled Oysters, shrimp and scallops with their delicious sweet potato corn bread. I had the rice, the next time I think I will go with the small salad. If I were alone here, I would eat at Sea Shack every day!

Some of the best Disney Cast Members are here in HHI, we chatted with one while biking around the resort. She sent us this magnet and wrote a lovely note asking if she could do anything for us, to just ask!

We only have one car, and we had already received one on a previous visit. So, this one is being mailed to Dorothy, my friend who had encouraged me to try the tricycles at Disney’s HHI, to see if it was something I could do. My adult tricycle has given me much enjoyment, and exercises!
