🥳🥳🥳...THANK YOU!..🥳🥳🥳

GOOOOD MORNING FRIENDS!  🥂🥂🥂☕️☀️☀️☀️

What a great way to start my day!  I LOVED your greetings, cookie and Tootie!  YOU ARE THE BEST!!  kittyfan too!

Cake and Mimosas....what else do I need...Ha!  Ready to enjoy a BEAUTIFUL day here.....being lazy....do what I want.....out to dinner later at an Italian restaurant we have not been to but I have heard is very good.  How can anything Italian not be good!!? 😋

 Tootie, by the way, sad about hawk and squirrel.  That would upset me too.  I have had hawks here trying to catch birds .... never seen it try for squirrels.  I usually run outside like a crazy lady to try and scare the hawk away.

I know they have to eat but, not in my yard!!!

Great X, Y and Z.....guess I'll zoom off to get this party started....🥳.  Wish we could all gather for lunch!  Love and appreciate our friendship!  Happy Wednesday! 🥳

A .... Another Mimosa Please! 🥂 🥳 or Another Year

Oh no!  Gremlins on your Birthday?!!!!!  We should XYZ them out to Cousin Eddie 😆They probably wanted to wish you a Happy Birthday and drink all the Tootie's Marvelous Mimosas!

Glad you were able to reverse your age walker.  If I had known that last month, I would have only been 18!!!😄  I don't think I want to be 18 again - I was pregnant with my oldest!  

Have another Mimosa!!!  🥂🥂🥂

Pour me up

B - Banana bread    or  Back off Gremlins!

Happy Birthday!!!!!

I have been MIa for a bit.  

Brother flew in yesterday.   He called me from the airport.  Said he would be in about 4.  Well he calls me at 7 and said he was finally here.  Had booked a "cheap" flight not realizing it was indirect.  He went from Houston, to Memphis, to Dallas and finally to Austin. He laughed about it.  He is a frequent flyer so doesn't stress about flying.

I had a medical procedure this morning. Had to be at hospital at 6. I am not Ms Cookie!  He picked me up at 5. We got there about 5:30. Long valet line. Finally got to front of line. Checked in.  He has my POA and is my emergency contact.

Well dealth with lots of nurses. All lovely.  Anesthesiologist came in. Asked the normal questions. Doctor comes in. Looks at brother and asked if we were family. My response was we are family by choice!  We have some differences that make people look twice!  But he is my best friend, confidant, and angel.  He told me a story about being on a mission trip. His administrative assistant passed unexpectedly. As soon as he heard he was on the next plane home. I knew this fella although not well.  I had not heard this story before but I wasn't surprised. He has rearranged his schedule to accommodate my appointments.

He said the doctor told him they couldn't complete all as a machine was broken.  I am hoping not to repeat this process. Hopefully they got enough. I was taken back shortly after 8. In recovery a bit after 9.

He stopped at grocery on way home. Bought some chicken soup.  Came home. I was able to take Tylenol so I took some and went to bed. Lawn service was in courtyard. I did sleep for about an hour. I was awake when I heard the door.  He peeked around. I told him I was awake.  He fixed some soup and went to dining room for a grilled cheese. He came back and said it would be faster to go out!  

He helped me organize my filing!  

He headed home. I know it had been a very long day for him. Up at 4. Sitting and waiting can be tiresome.  

One perk was the gown had a device they attached which blew warm air!  

Since hospitals are always COLD!  

I think I will take some Tylenol and turn out the lights

Closing the kitchen

Coffee pot ready for Cookie?

Good morning ~

Oh the trials and tribulations you went through to get your medical procedure done. And.... you had to get there at Cookie Time😒 Good thing  your LB, confident, BF and Angel was there.  You are so very lucky to have him. Hope you are feeling better and get these things and broken machines done and done!  Your answer of Family by choice to the doctor was a perfect one!  

Tootie, how sad to see the hawk and squirrel.  Maybe we should disguise some Gremlins as squirrels and give the hawk some SCC strong arm actions!??

So nice of your friend to surprise you with a cake on your porch.  A special BIrthday surprise.  Of course you did not age at all and will still be crazier than ever !  GO QUEEN! ♛

Dullsville South here.  At least we will have some nice temps - 70 is perfect!  I will probably do more documenting for Ex.  We have a sybiotic relationship for sure.  Still vascillating about attending T Day with the in laws.  Love the family but DD and SIL stay waaaay too long and my eyes close after a couple of hours - must sleep in order to stay in Cookie Time -ha ha kittyfan🥰

                        HAVE A GREAT DAY!

Passing the coffee    since there are probably no Birthday Mimosas left~

F - French Toast  - YES please!

G - Gremlins not allowed   couldn't resist😊

Good Morning Friends!  ☕️🍁🍂🦃....🇺🇸

Happy Thursday!  A new day...another year older....had a very nice day, dinner was delicious and cake too when we returned home.  I'm not stepping on scale until next week..ha!  Thank you all again for your special friendship and terrific greetings here!   ((((Group Hug!))))

kittyfan, I hope you are feeling better after procedure yesterday.  So glad that once again you had your Angel of a brother with you!  I love your expression of "Family by Choice" too.  So true!  Wishing you a speedy recovery and better days ahead.

cookie,  I laughed at kittyfan's expression of "cookie time"....your are our early bird! 😁  You and your ex have a special relationship which is very nice.  I am sure he appreciates your help.  I understand the decision dilemma about T-Day as well.  After a nice day/afternoon and full meal, I start to fade too.  My mother used to say " I have to push myself".....I'm starting to understand it now.

Speaking of pushing myself, I better push off here...😆....

enjoy that fresh air, Tootie, I'll be doing same...won't see these nice days much longer.   OH.....how is family doing at  Disney?  Fun with Mickey, Minnie and friends?

Bye for now....

I ..... Ice Cream with my Cake..😋😋
