There was a bar on the grounds and several restaurants close by that DH and I said we would seek shelter in if needed! Though not sure the businesses close by would have the room for everyone!

You are handling things much better than I would. I also don't doubt that she purposely asked the question to DH knowing he is a softy! I agree about the closing date and moving out date. Who would think they would still not be completely moved into the new place!

Back from the movie My Mother's Wedding. It was pretty bad and I do not recommend. Too bad, it had some star power so I was expecting better. Another person our age looked at me during the credits and said That was no good. I agreed, and ended with, well at least I enjoyed some popcorn. She replied, at least I enjoyed a nap. LOL.

Oh, what an unfortunate event for all the exhibitors. I'm glad to hear you suffered minimal damage.

The thing with BFF is she is very loyal, very loving, caring, lots of fun, but she cannot stay in her lane. I've learned over time to keep boundaries, but I cannot always anticipate the crash through until it has happened. For example, that I have to discuss next weekend? It never occurred to me that anybody would want to stay 11 days AFTER closing on their own house. So I'll take care of it, but geeze. DH is now instructed that any questions, plans, favors will be answered with: I will check with my DW. It's no accident that some of the boundary stuff was directed at DH rather than me. Sometimes he's a soft touch.

Smoking ribs! I'm impressed.

I agree that making the home modifications before you need them makes a lot of sense!

Hope your gathering goes well and you are not hit by the winds and rain!

Car time is think time for me too! When Ben was sick and even after he died I found the 30 minute commute to and from work was often a time for release and I would find myself bawling in my car!

Busy travel day for you! Enjoy First Class! I have yet to fly First Class! Perhaps I'm saving for when I need the passport I have yet to get!

It is hard to watch the cognitive decline in anyone, but especially a parent.

Yes, sounds like your Minnesota nice has gone too far and boundaries must be set. Easier said than done. I'm glad you scheduled the movie! Enjoy! Popcorn sounds good!
