Big city vibe coming off of London pictures! I'm sorry your DD has to face the choice of such a serious surgery, but it would seem her uterus has become her enemy. My story is very different, because I had 2 children and was definitely done with reproducing at 42, but my god, what joy I felt about losing that traitorous organ that brought me do much pain and misery. A friend wrote in a card, Now you are like the Goddess Diana, running free and unencumbered trhough the woods. I liked that idea.
Paula, we are in the same state! I wnt to an art show and the farmer's market today. Hope your show went well.
After the farmer's market, we went to a state park thst has a fabulous lake called Devil's Lake. DS says it is named with a level of disrespect. It was (is) a sacred space for Native Americans in the area, and was named Devil by settlers because it was part of what they considered a pagan religion. He said there is a current movement to rename it Spirit Lake. Anyhow, it is gorgeous, and the water was warm and clear, so we had a nice swim. Later we had a nice dinner, and now we are back at the hotel.
Tomorrow we will have bruch, and then there will be a bike ride for the riders, which is not me. I don't mind a little down time.
BFF's son is staying at our house while he works out where he is going to live now that he and his wife agree that they will separate. There will be many tough days ahead, but hopefully he is on the path to a happier, healthier life.
123 on the dot again.
All set up for the art fair tomorrow. Thankfully we had everything under cover when a short lived but decent rain cloud hit us! Tomorrow will be sunny and hot, just like last year. Will have to pack lots of beverages to stay hydrated!
DH, DC and I went to a different and better Mexican restaurant tonight but not as convenient as the neighborhood one. I ordered the same a la cart shredded chicken taco and stole some of DH's beans. Chips, salsa and cheese sauce were all good. DC and I split a fried ice cream! Yummy! No Dove bar for me today!
Sorry your dinner got so messed up and then you didn't even get to eat. Free drinks wouldn't have cut it for me! Hope DD can get her hysterectomy soon and be out of her misery. I'm thankful too that kids were not a want for her and her DH.
Tonight will be an early one for us. We are both worn out and have a long hot day ahead of us tomorrow!

3 nights remain on our trip. We are in London! In an incredibly busy part of the city right next to Chinatown at a W hotel (see picture taken in front of our hotel below). It was like Times Square here last night! Good thing I sleep with earplugs in. We got to the hotel at 7, wandered around a bit, then went to a pub to split fish and chips. We never got our food because they messed up our order and then the kitchen closed down so they gave us a free round of beer and wine. We didn't need the drinks but drank them, did people watching, and listened to a great live band. I suppose we didn't truly need the food either as we ate the meal on the plane which was actually pretty good (shrimp). The hotel is weirdly modern. Everything is controlled from an iPad. What would usually be the bathroom sink is in a structure like a bar in the middle of the room with the toilet and shower in separate mini-rooms off the main room. There is even a bar stool at the sink. Just strange, but at least there are hangers unlike the European hotel rooms in Spain.
Today we will take the Hop On, Hop Off bus around the city. It is going to be hot but I'm pretty happy about that!
I spoke to DD last night. Her bleeding returned with a vengeance over the last few weeks so the Gynecologist is recommending a hysterectomy. DD and her DH are positive about not wanting children so she is okay with doing it especially since she is barely functioning with the cramping and the steadily worsening anemia again. It is affecting everything in her life because she has no energy. It does seem like it may be the only option but hard to totally accept since DD is only 37.
Time to get cleaned up for the day. Have a super sunny Saturday!

Sounds like they are fully in nesting mode. I didn't know they were going to be living together? Sounds like they are so well-suited and I hear your happiness about their relationship whenever you talk about them.

It does sound like a lot of work setting up for art fairs. And it might be rather hot and uncomfortable at times in Florida.
