Can’t send her anything

How about a nice old fashioned letter. Stamps may have gone up in price, but 50 cents isn’t too terrible.

I have a story involving Rochester, MN, that I’ve posted about here before, but, it was a while back...

When I was 4 yrs. old and we still lived in San Antonio, TX, my pop left his job at Alamo Iron Works for a job at the Redstone Arsenal in Huntsville, AL in 1966. After about 18 mos. there, himself and and co-worker got jobs with ol’ “Big Blue” (IBM ). The new jobs were in Rochester.
My pops co-worker and his family had already been on the road for about an hour.
Just a few minutes before we left the house for Rochester, the phone rang. Pop was informed that there was a change in plans and he and his co-worker were to instead head to San Jose, CA...!!!!!!!
They had to alert the highway patrol to intercept the co-worker, who finally found him and sent him west...!!!!!
A true story, and we spent the next 8 yrs. in No Cal before moving back to Texas in August of ‘76...so many twisty-turnys in so many of our lives..!!!!!

Aren’t you glad that your dad was rerouted? Amazing how the police were sent to intercept his coworker. Incredible that they even found him.

And, one from the way-back machine of oldest DD and myself at our first Girl Scout Father Daughter Dance...!!!!!!!

I don’t have her address, her parents aren’t ready for her to give it to me

Good luck

Thanks, I made it. My street hadn't been plowed yet, so I got stuck in the street just out of my driveway, but was able to rock in back and forth to get unstuck.

Ecard

My crazy dh went into work to work on a project even though he had put in for a vacation day today. Well as soon as he got to work he called saying do not send ds on the van, 2 minutes later his school closed. Another fun day on top of Mount Krumpet NOT!

This is the winter that keeps giving and giving

I got my sept flights a couple days ago... the price still kinda stunk for me.. but we love Southwest and I had one free ticket, so I paid it... we love their service and how they handle DH with his disability, but their prices are getting higher than American and Delta

I usually book the flights and then go in every couple of days looking for cheaper prices on the same flights. They won't give you money back, but they'll credit you the difference and you can use that on different flights.

It's windy today but otherwise good enough! I miss the warmth of that heat wave though. LOL.

Well that is just odd. Then send her a nice e-card as @figmentfan423 suggested.

I just did that 2 nights ago.. got a $29 credit on DH's ticket, and 2k in points back in my account. I'm going to keep checking.

Agreed. We need to find Phil the groundhog and ask him about his early Spring prediction that is not coming to fruition.

Did he specify where was getting an early spring as it is mucho sunnyo here.
