Place: Sunny Richardson Comments: Yesterday was a great day for our family. My niece, Laura, graduated from Texas Woman's University with her Masters Degree. There was a family celebration dinner later that evening. Here are 3 photos that capture the day. Unfortunately I can't get the pics to post BUT, click on each link and the photo will appear. the 1st one is her close group & she is the tall blonde in the center. In the 2nd she is 3rd from the left and my favorite . . . she & her dad, my brother, at dinner. https://scontent-dfw5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/60284581_10213926008966789_2933227582428020736_n.jpg?_nc_cat=108&_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-2.xx&oh=f46c720ecd7d2c48bc82b9b5fc1dd87d&oe=5D63A878 https://scontent-dfw5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/60019289_10213926011926863_1363670692213555200_n.jpg?_nc_cat=109&_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-2.xx&oh=eb1b5084ac9773120761e6e72b02fb52&oe=5D75694F https://scontent-dfw5-2.xx.fbcdn.net/v/t1.0-9/60293484_10213926021287097_3837374681350930432_n.jpg?_nc_cat=110&_nc_ht=scontent-dfw5-2.xx&oh=314b50258337410726c4ff6c3a9f8959&oe=5D6DA622
Place: Edmond Comments: Happy Mother’s Day to all our SOC moms and in fact happy wishes to all the SOC ladies—moms or not—who have graced our lives. Thanks, ladies, for making our world a better place.
Place: LV, TX Comments: OK, gang - yes, 'GOT' = 'Game of Thrones'. No one's ever mentioned anything about it on the GB, so I had no idea if anyone else in our group watched this HBO series, besides Kathy & me. There was a pretty humorous blooper in last week's episode that neither of us noticed, until Kathy read about it the next day. Apparently, some hawkish fan caught it - I don't know how, at normal viewing speed. It was a small item and in plain sight of all the actors, set crew, director, and film editing staff - but missed, until after the episode was televised. Rick touched on it in his 2nd post below. Following a major medieval, fantasy-world battle, the 'good guys' were gathered around a table in rustic surroundings to celebrate their victory, drinking grog and wine from metal cups & horns of oxen. Someone forgot to remove their Starbucks cup from the table prior to filming the scene: https://mashable.com/video/starbucks-cup-spotted-in-game-of-thrones-episode/ Your may not watch or care for GOT - that's fine, but they've done OK since 2011: https://www.google.com/search?hl=en&authuser=0&ei=lVjXXNbNMuyvrgT2pqPoCw&q=game+of+thrones+awards&oq=game+of+thrones+awards&gs_l=psy-ab.3..0i71l8.0.0..7454...0.0..0.0.0.......0......gws-wiz.qx7bqnR8Ay4
Place: Edmond Comments: Also, Happy Birthday to James Kidd. 🎂🥳
Place: Edmond Comments: Thanks for the kind sentiments, Don. Fortunately, our daughter flew in today from Arizona which will be a great help next week during “the proceedings.” Kathy has had it really rough so let’s just get that gall bladder OUT. 👨⚕️😷.
Place: LV, TX Comments: Well, Paul - I was hoping you'd actually get a break between this chemo cycle and the next. But, I hear gall bladder attacks are pretty danged unpleasant. So, if Kathy has been putting up with a bad one, we can certainly include her in our prayers for an uneventful removal procedure on Tue. & recovery afterward.
Place: LV, TX Comments: Belated H a p p y B i r t h d a y wishes go out to James Kidd for 5/9!
Place: Plano Comments: Back home to reality. Make it four. Sarah and I have never seen an episode of GOT
Place: Edmond Comments: 🧗♀️🧗♂️ As always Sandy, thanks for the prayers. The two rock climbers were the closest I could come to “hanging in there.” 🙄 Now as long as during the off week we don’t have a 🌪 maybe we will have some relative calm.
Place: Richardson Comments: Glad that you are set for the short break next week. guess that's why Kathy is waiting until next week to have her gall bladder removed. And yes, it seems uncanny that when things get tough they can slide downhill quickly. What's the old saying, "If it ain't one thing it's another!" My prayers will be for both you & Kathy. Hang in there kiddo!
Place: Edmond Comments: Sandy, You are on top of your game. This is indeed my last Thurs/Friday before the break. In fact, I am in the chemo chair right now. I am holding up well but last week was tougher than the week before. Added to my discomfort was Kathy feeling really bad until they can remove her gall bladder next Tuesday. It has been a tough stretch, but as always, it could be worse. God is good and your prayers are much appreciated.
Place: Soggy again in Richardson Comments: Paul - It will be a lot bigger group than 3 of us who have never watched a single episode. The FB question brought out a ton of our classmates saying the same thing, " No, never watched it". Rick - You are not alone in your sadness about having to sell your Mom's home. You, like so many of us, face the sad and depressing tasks of selling a parent's home and figuring out what to do with all the things left behind. My heart and prayers go out to you as you travel this difficult road. Go slow and take it one-day-at-a-time. No rush. Paul is this the last Thur/Fri of chemo before the short break? How are you holding up kiddo?
Place: Edmond Comments: Sandy and Rick, You are not alone. I have never watched it either. Maybe we can get in the Guinness Book of Records. Three members of the same HS class who have never watched even one episode. 😮
Place: Big D Comments: I'm doing well. Trying to sell mom's house is keeping me busy. There are a lot of companies that buy houses as is but in my opinion they aren't fair with their offer. Sorry I missed the Mini. Sorry I missed all of you. I have never seen game of thrones. Or any vampire shows. I did she the Starbucks cup goof on the news
Place: Richardson Comments: Rick - We missed you at the last Mini. Hope you are doing Ok. Based on the chatter on FB, I think Don is referring to the HBO series Game Of Thrones. And no, I've never seen a single episode. Based on a FB question asking if there was anyone who hadn't seen at least one episode, there are a lot of us who don't watch it! |
