Traveling Again

This will be my last post until next week.  I am off on another adventure in the early AM.  This time to Dayton, OH to visit two of my lovely sister-in-laws.  I was scheduled to visit last summer, but you know how life sometimes gets in the way of plans....well, we finally put a date on the calendar and I am coming, ready or not.

I am traveling with Toby since I thought my daughter would probably go into shock if I asked her to dog-sit again so soon after returning from my Arizona trip.  She is probably still recovering.  Now, Toby has never traveled longer than 45 miles in the car.  How do you suppose he will handle 300+.  Little worried, but we will go for it.  I have not told Toby yet, it will be a surprise.

And guess what???  It's raining again.  That's enough, thank you very much.  I so wanted to go back to the Arboretum again today, but that was not in the cards so I took pictures of my soon to be gone, but not forgotten Trader Joe's ranunculus instead.

And then I snuck outside for a brief pause in the rain....you can see the tree in the parkway from the raindrop on the rose bush.

Very verdant green....this is the boxwood bush alongside the garage.  It is probably 10 feet tall, not exaggerating, really.

Tomorrow is my grandson's birthday.  Happy Birthday, Brandon.  I am patiently waiting for he and his lovely wife, Hilary to make me a great-grandmother...I want a baby in our lives...too long without one.  They have been married almost 3 years and I know his Mother would like to be a grandmother too, so don't you think it's time??  Ofcourse, it really is none of my business when or if they have children...just my wishin'...!!!

And yesterday was my brother's birthday.  Caught he and his dog reading on the porch while visiting last year, living the life of retirement.  And no, I am not wishin' babies from them.  Happy Birthday, Danny.

And my sister-in-law (the one I am visiting this weekend) whose birthday was April 15th...Happy Birthday, Mary Jo and no babies from her either.
