That's just not necessary. LOL And yes, getting out of the car was trying. And standing up straight. And walking. But I finally made it up the two steps into the cabin.

Long trips in tight spaces often find me somewhat immobile.<br />#4 is a big pain when it's a surprise. I like to kick back and not worry about my appearance on most vacation.

I already have the next mountain trip planned and, so far, two of them have decided they need to tag along.

We don't vacation all together anymore...I don't think the boys like each other (or us!) enough to do that! :)Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11533317405680450964noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2600608370084874699.post-8118625213904148202015-01-16T18:37:37.393-05:002015-01-16T18:37:37.393-05:00I'm thinking that's just one on a LONG lis...I'm thinking that's just one on a LONG list as to why he's your ex.

I am of the mindset that everyone ...Loved this one. I am of the mindset that everyone pitch in with the "work" part and then enjoy yourselves for the rest of each day. That means NO AGENDAS. Wake up and see what the day brings. That always works best for me. When the ex's adult daughters would come to visit, there was always an agenda and it drove me nuts. And of course my wants and wishes went right out the window.

She's totally independent and, if she wants/needs anything, she gets it for herself. I love that independence in her. I have that myself. I have another one who is quite like that though she doesn't turn down something people want to give her. The other two...well, this post is mostly directed at them.

We spent a week in New Orleans, years ago, with our youngest and his wife (at the time). We had a blast. Separate hotel rooms, and they went out for late night partying when we went to bed at 10:00 p.m. Lots of laughs and good memories. When both 'boys' visit us, they are good about picking up and Terri Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15333024343069943295noreply@blogger.com
