Glass Chatroom Board

FENTON... gorgeous glass - even the broken one!

Today is DS birthday and tomorrow my DD - the oldest. 2 wks ago was the youngest DD. They are now 40,48 & 50. The oldest will be a grandmother in a few months (which I've already fretted about, being the great-grandmother!). Having these birthdays clumped together is an extended annual reminder of how old I am!!! So I'm now dedicating life to two things: dump this joint and get into a nice little one story abode, and travel to Ireland. Some folks have much longer bucket lists, but I think I've done a lot of fun things already. Just need to know that DH will have no stairs to contend with given his balance issues, and I need to see the "old sod"! The grandmother I'm named for is from County Clare. I've always wanted to roam the places my brother has sent me in pictures while traveling there extensively for business. And I have very good recommendations from my gay hairdresser as to castles for lodging and restaurants. What would we do without the dear boys? They have such good taste. I won't trust brother for that kind of thing as he has a Super 8 Gold Key for domestic travel and thinks Olive Garden is Italian food!

I'm so happy to see my crocus peeking out here and there. Such a rich purple where all else is brown grass and bare branches. Yesterday my walk took me along the bay as usual.... it was flat calm - like a mirror. I can see to the outer harbor where my DB's ashes are cast and so I had a nice chat with him. I asked him for a sign that he's at peace and 10 minutes later I got a text message from his childhood sweetheart! I hadn't heard from her in several months and out of the blue..... I think DB whispered in her ear.

CARL, I think the worst is behind us. Soon you'll be in shirtsleeves in the garden!

Happy Day to All!
