So glad you waited on 5e mom and said something. A three year old can get into all sorts of trouble in a car! Put it in gear and have it roll, play with the cigarette lighter (I burned my thumb as a little kid playing in the car in the garage unsupervised ), or be carjacked. Mom wasn't thinking.
Yep Paula what we call yum yums or Tastees are essentially maid rite sandwiches. There are multiple recipes for the sauce including horseradish and worcestershire sauce and stuff but no ketchup. I mostly just do onions with mustard and pickles added.
And yeah that was my goal in going back into the gym and asking the young woman if that was her child. Her response was sort of with irritation but I said ok, just checking and I think I made my point. The van was not running and the kid did not appear at all distressed or I would have made a bigger fuss. This van only had windows at the front seat so I could not see if there were older kids in the back but I think not.

Hope the Keys will be warmer than your place or mine. Brrrrrr! Had to cover up my herb garden again!
120 even today. Yesterday was 120.8 at home (naked and first thing in the morning) but 125.something at the doctors (fully clothed and fed). Finally got set up with my electrophysiologist (heart rhythm doctor that manages my defibrillator). Can't get in to see a PCP until the summer but that is when my annual is due anyway.
Busy today with indoor activities as it is too cold for outdoor activities. I did more photo editing and made up quite a few groupings of pictures to hopefully sell at one of the antique store/flea market shops. I also got a call from a guy that bought some cards from me at an art fair. He gives them out as handwritten thank you cards to business clients and he was inquiring about ordering more.
Think DH and I will relax tonight and watch tv or perhaps a movie!

I would have been worried about the child alone in the van too. Good for you for speaking up. Maybe it will give Mom pause the next time!
Remind me, are Yum yum sandwiches ground beef sandwiches, kind of like sloppy Joes but less saucy and with onions? My Dad used to make a sandwich he called Maid Rites with burger, onion and ketchup. They were pretty good!

Yay on the weight! You are doing well!
So glad your Dad is well enough to come with his wife and visit you! Even better that he will probably be able to take in some activities!
Good idea to have the shoulder looked at before trying out new exercises. Wouldn't want to do more damage!

FYI, it is illegal in CA to leave a child under 6 years old unattended in a parked car in certain weather conditions, with the engine running, or with the keys in the ignition. Children may be left in a car supervised by a person 12 years of age or older. You can look it up: California Vehicle Code 15620
Had a mom at our school temporarily lose custody of her children for leaving the 4 year old in the car at night while running an errand (granted she did meet her friend at a bar to drop something off and decided to have a quick drink since the kid was sleeping.... 
)
Glad Ron enjoyed his birthday celebration and that you are sleeping better!
Hope your visit with your Dad went well. I'm missing my Mom!
