On to Myrtle Beach

-
A couple more inches of snow in Boston will break the record. 108 inches. We did pick the right year to be away for 3 months.

March 12, 2015  LOTS of MELTING!!

March 7, 2015


 March 8 was the girls' 3rd birthday!! We celebrated it; however, going to rehab to see Alan.


It is hard to believe this fantasy life is coming to an end. We are leaving Sunday, March 15 after so many days at the beach, so many meals out, so many movies and just fun!




We'll spend several days at Myrtle Beach and though cool the beach is off leash during non-peak hours so it will be a nice stop on our way to New York to see friends and Sheera.

 The girls will be groomed again on Friday. It is sooner than usual but they need a bath!!

We left Port St. Lucie wishing we could spend another month there. We all had an awesome time there. 

We encountered a problem!! in the Ormand Beach area. We saw smoke coming out of the underneath of the RV. Called Good Sam and we were towed to a truck/RV fixit shop. We were able to plug in there so we had water and electricity and luckily this only cost us one day and some money, which we think Ford will reimburse us for. 

Pirateland is the campground we decided on in Myrtle Beach. 

It is great because the sites have a covered area so the girls' corral is in it! This has been very good considering it has been raining a lot so we are leaving Sunday rather than Monday (today is Friday). We are on about #12 buffet. OMG. Luckily we don't have these at home!!

The WiFi isn't as good as it was at PSL village and the beach is on leash only so as beautiful as it is, the girls can't have fun and Zoey gets very frustrated. 



We went to a dying flea market but at least we got a bell. We will try another one today. I really haven't had a good flea market fix all these months. 

 We went to the Myrtle Beach Boardwalk, which really took a hit during Hugo so if you go although the boardwalk itself is very long and nice there isn't much on the board walk except a famous ferris wheel and a couple of rides. We also went to Broadway on the Beach, which is a huge shopping center. It was really pretty and a nice place to walk around. 


Today is Tuesday, March 24 and it is truly the end of a fabulous 3 months. If all goes well we will do 4 months next year. I am writing this at our last stop, which is a night in New Jersey. 


We stayed here years ago. As computer and TV addicts having both work well is REALLY nice and that is true of Timberlane. 

 Last night we stayed at a campground, Americamps, which we stayed at on our way down. They have free breakfast, which is nice but they are more money than other campgrounds.  The wifi was non-existent, though they said we would have it and the TV was better than the night before. 

 We left the girls in our motorhome and had a great salad buffet at Ruby Tuesdays. We sat where we could watch them!!

THE GIRLS LOOKING OUT THE WINDOW! 



 For us Myrtle Beach was a disappointment primarily because the girls couldn't be off leash. Zoey was very frustrated not being able to run and frolic in the water. It would be like taking an 10-year old to DisneyWorld and telling the kid he or she can't go on any rides...just for anyone reading this who might not be a dog person! 

 We will be on our way to New York, where we will spend a few days with friends and Saturday in the city with daughter. 

 Elliott's brother is having a hard time. Mom will turn 85 next month and is getting harder and harder to transfer. She has had three falls in the last couple of months and a couple of colds so I am looking forward to seeing her though I really could have stayed in FL longer:)

10-day Canadian Rockies trip by Car

 We are very settled in Monroe and are considering selling Lincoln and visiting a few times a year. We talk to the little ones almost every Sunday. They are growing up. 2nd grade, 1st grade a nd  preschool.  I'm doing fine on the exemestane.  Scans have  been clear. We have found a few docs but still have a couple more to find. We are heading back to CA in a month for four months.  Our flight to Canada was easy. We are trying to be less judgmental so I won't talk about a couple of annoying things.  I am trying very hard to do this blog in as non-OCD as possible. I wrote for epinions for years and don't want to be detailed like I was. "Just the facts, ma'am." We rented a car so did what we usually do. We borrowed a couple of itineraries from the web and followed those. One thing we would do differently is arrive in Calgary and leave in Edmonton though this is not a direct flight.  We would have toured Calgary for two days instead of leaving it to t...

The Worst of Times

2022 has certainly been challenging. Health issues just kept piling up. Our world turned right side up or upside down depending on your perspective.  After family therapy we are good with the Loomis Levy's and have had the kids a lot. It's been fun but exhausting.  We made a necessary choice to be closer to our adult daughters. After searching and changing our minds, we bought a great house in an over 55 community in Monroe Township, NJ.  Funny but we are 45 minutes away from cousin Marissa and family; too far (2 hours) from Terri and Jeff and 1 1/2 hours to Manhattan. I may have mentioned this but our daughter MD gave 3 months notice, sold her house and got a job and apartment at a hospital near Lennox Hill.  Our furbabies turned 11 and without the beach house (We sold it and will sell the RV.) they don't run as much as they used to but they are spry and healthy.  I'll take pics when I am in the house and hopefully find my camera in one of the 6 suitcases we pa...

After Surgery: What is it like

-
Image
 3/15/2022 Although I am on pain meds and a little loopy, I wanted to get my surgery day down before I forget. I don't know if this is the protocol of all breast surgeries, but I saw a lot of people!  At 7:45 I was taken into the pre-op area where I was asked my name and birthdate a dozen times. So many times, that when a woman walked in, I just said my name and birthdate. She laughed and said that she knew my name but not my birthdate. "I'm Dr. Baker." Well of course I didn't recognize her. I only met her one time, and she had a net on her head and a mask and plastic covering her face. She had on scrubs so there was no white coat. In any case I was asked by lots of nurses health questions, got an IV put in with at some point saline and an antibiotic and off I went to Nuclear Medicine and saw a machine that looked like it was from outer space. I wondered if this is also the radiation machine but I didn't ask. Mitch, an RN, spent a long time explaining what wou...
