Our eldest decided at the last moment to join us for the week-end (working anyhow from home Thursdays and Sundays). So he worked from his brother home instead.... We took a late night flight together on Wednesday and DS1 flew back alone Sunday night, just in time to sleep 3 hours and be at the office at 9am on Monday. We "brought" with us a very cold spell of weather, instead of warm... And, of course, a rare event of snow in Amsterdam, where the grands got to "experiment" ice for the first time. Bundled up. DS1 playing football with his nephews. Look!! Snow AND ice... I’m so happy you were able to get away and spend time with your precious family. I love Amsterdam. Such a beautiful city. 4 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My California grandson had a truck cake for his 5th. I may have posted these before. The lady who did this, did a lot of special baked, decorated items for George Lucas. Very talented. Everything was edible, including the checkerboard base and tires My job was to balance that, as we drove 10 miles from the baker to the birthday venue. Not an easy task. Very cool cake. I know how time consuming and very heavy they can be. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hopefully there will be more getaways like this in the future, for longer periods of time too. Like 12 or 18+ months, if that's possible & something you'd want. 🙂 Glad the kids got to enjoy ice & snow. After all, who doesn't? 😉 5 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJSailors Posted January 23 #113499 Share Posted January 23 I have just returned home from a brunch at a diner with friends from HS. I have been in constant touch with one all through college up till now. The other one reached out this past Christmas after almost 40 years of just connecting with an occasional Christmas card. It was as if we left each other yesterday! The conversation flowed, reliving memories of school days and weddings to catching up with our present lives. We plan to arrange for an overnight hotel stay in the Spring with, possibly, two more HS friends. Old friends are the best as we share so much of our early lives with each other. As we get older, there are fewer people who remember us in our youth. My friend reaching out was a true blessing! Hoping everyone is having a pleasant day-feeling safe and loved!
