Hi Grat Pack. Thanks Dee for the new thread!

My Stepfather passed on Saturday night. It was expected but still sad as he was my mother's partner for almost 30 years. He was 93 and a half. I was able to speak to him on the phone the day he died thanks to his daughter. Will be going to a memorial in August in Florida.

Quick grats.
Grateful for my sobriety.
Grateful we got moved back into our den yesterday. Loving the hardwood floors. Sarge not so much. He misses the softer stinky carpet. We will buy him a doggie bed for that room so he can be more comfortable.
Grateful for my life.
Grateful I was able to speak to stepfather before he passed.
Grateful for SR and the GP.

Fearless - Swim Suits....oh, the very thought..... Glad you had success. Santa Cruz - sounds wonderful.
Alpine - You were smart to enjoy the cooler early morning.
Aly - When will your hot weather break?
Free - Reykjavik - have a fab time. I googled temperature & it said it's 54F - how refreshing. I saw a picture of the huge Lutheran church that took 41 yrs. to build.
Purp - I'm glad they will not be repossessing your Laptop. (I need a new one - dreading the cost. $$$$$$)
CBS - I'm sorry to hear of your stepfather's passing. Must have been bittersweet to speak to him on the very day. Good idea to get the bed for Sarge. Brazen is slipping & sliding on our floors, but we have (tacky) throw carpets down.
Grateful MrH finally got a couple hours sleep after being up with Brazen all night - he is teething. (Brazen not MrHev)
Grateful for more sun. Now if it would just go down 20 degrees or so.
Grateful my summer clothes from last year are loose - but now I need all new stuff.
Grateful for the quiet after a loud 4th.

Grateful for all of you

Hi FBL!
CBS, sorry about your stepfather. Even if expected it’s still tough.
Hev, that is nice of Mr. Hev to stay up with teething puppy. Hope you don’t have to miss too much sleep!
Listae, that seems like a perfect July list.
Fearless, glad you had a productive work day. I was so bad!
Purp, oh no! Hope the basement didn’t actually flood and you are just anticipating what could happen if it keeps raining. If it did flood, then I’m really sorry!
Alapine, glad the anxiety has smoothed for now.
(((Aly)))

Grateful
- to come to DC for one night again
- that we got a big grant I was the main person on
- that this hotel room has an adjustable bed. I think it’s so cool to just press a button and then it adjusts to have the back more up. Can’t really describe it right but hopefully you can picture it. Like a hospital bed. Or Craftmatic.
- to get to walk around the DC sights yesterday evening
- that I didn’t have to stress about how to get alcohol or if it looked bad to drink so much more than my normie companion (former boss). And as I write this I think about some times where I probably was totally focused on booze even when others were not. Ugh. Glad that is behind me.
- for all of you.

Listae - Yes - addressing our issues instead of avoiding - one of the best things about being clear headed.
Fearless - We need to do that with Brazen. Good idea to get him accustomed to the place. Hope it goes well.
Alpine - I'm glad you're feeling less anxious. I hate not being able to be outside doing stuff - it's supposed to feel like 100 today.
NL - I felt bad about puppy being awake all night - and I didn't even know about it. I was upstairs with my white noise machine cranking. I love my adjustable bed - I dont think I could sleep completely flat again. Enjoy DC.
Aly -
Grateful all flowers are thriving - even in this heat.
Grateful we got doggy aspirin for Brazen & it helped him sleep last night.
Grateful our neighbors found homes for all 5 kittens that were born in their garage. They'll keep the mother.
Grateful when people are kind & do the right thing. I think it happens more often than we realize.
Love to all. Have a grateful day.

Thank you, Dee!

CBS, I’m sorry on the loss of your stepdad
Fear, I’m glad you are liking your new hiking friend, and have a trip planned
NL, it’s so cool your daughter is taking the helm of her business
Alpine, so cool you are selling quilts. I save so many of your Memes. Thank you so much. I used to do a rowing machine at the gym. It had water in it. On purpose.
Listae, nice list
FBL, nice to see you
Turs, hope you are having a good start to your trip
Hey, that’s neat about doggy aspirin. Maybe he has growing pains? I think he will be a big boy

Grateful

i I finally got on the site again. It’s horrible. Been getting a weird block that says I have to answer cookie preferences first then it doesn’t work and you can’t sign in.

Grateful for SO much
Seeing a whale from the bus yesterday.
more waterfalls.
A seal
big hay bales that look like marshmallows
sounds of birds
the sounds of rolling waves against the ship
the tastes of international cuisine (but not trying fermented shark, thanks for the offer )
coffee
making our own sandwiches to go on our excursions, lunch plates on shore are $30 each
For not moving aside when people are walking toward me on my side of the walkway, three persons abreast. (I move over for the infirm though)
keeping my calm when my hubby snapped at me today.

each one of you, and getting on website to catch up
