Who's In Charge While Mom's Away...?

My mom finally got on the plane on Thursday to go to visit my cousins in DC. Their son is getting confirmed on Saturday at the National Cathedral. I'm sure it's going to be nice.

The big hassle was convincing my mom to only travel with a carry on bag....and what a shock....we had to buy a new suitcase for the trip. Next was two days of picking and choosing the right clothes, shoes, jewelry, purses, etc.... (Changing her mind twice after I folded the final choices and packed them neatly in the bag.) It's always a woman's choice to change her mind. In the end, we did it.

Once she arrived, Linda and her mom picked her up with baby Chloe. You can never be unhappy with a nice new baby in your arms. Mom was in mommy heaven.

She'll be travelling back to Miami on Monday. I am in charge of Irma while she is away, but my younger sis still has to put in her ten cents worth. We do have "discussions" over everything under the sun. (Mr. S says it is our "thing" and we thrive on it with each other.) I'll be home most of the weekend and Mr. S will be here on Sat and Sun.

I do get to get out on Friday evening for a bit for the Miami Gay Lesbian Film Festival Volunteer Appreciation Party. It's going to be a catered event at the Miami Beach water front home of a doctor that is one of the patrons for the Festival. I'm looking forward to having some nice conversations with the people I got to work with and to get to know some of the others a little better.

On a side note: A good and wonderful friend is having a medical procedure done on Friday, so she is on my prayer list and many good thoughts are being sent her way.

Until later....Have a good one..........
