And, now it's Monday, beautiful Monday. I just got back from swim class, and a quick stop into the Dollar General for coffee filters. Can I just take a minute to say, and I'm not getting a penny to say it, the business model of the DG is brilliant? Small stores in small towns everywhere, with all the things you simply need, but don't want to go to Walmart to get! Birthday party? No problem, they have the candles and the plates, snacks, gifts, especially for little kids. A graduation card? Bag of ice? Toothpaste? It's all there, and it's all reasonable. They even have nice home dec things, I like their summery dish towels, although shh, I do think I might have a "nice" dish cloth addiction. (once they get shabby, they're drawer towels, and they don't get to hang on my stove any more!)
Anyway. I'm home now, have a load of laundry in, have to pack soon. I have lists and piles, but my suitcase is still empty. I'm not exactly scared of my limitations, but I'm a bit apprehensive, but also curious, as to how I'll end up managing, walking through the airport, ect. I can't seem to stand for very long without my "old" knee getting all stiff and sore and locking up. I can't seem to walk too very far without having issues, even the "new" knee seems wonky-ish. Everyone has their trials though, and although I wish for a body that just works seamlessly, and I work hard to get that, well, it is what it is.
You all have a good day, I'll probably check in tomorrow, but this laptop is staying home this trip, so you all will get a good break from my nonsense. Have a good day!

Della…..how are we going to survive without your daily blog! 🤣🤣 I love reading about all you do, but we’ll hear about it all when you get home. What a wonderful time you will have with so many family members going too. A trip to be remembered for sure!
Your adventure to the lake yesterday sounds like fun. How lovely just to go to a lakefront and paddle and swim and enjoy the summer weather.
Have a great day 🥰

Have a great trip🙏
What a great adventure you all had! Fantastic photos, that lake looks beautiful!
I love Dollar stores or pound shops as they are called here. I go in for one thing and come out with a bag full of things I didn't know I needed.
I hope the packing went well and I hope your travelling goes well.
I was born and raised and used to live in PA just across the NY state border. I would go to Seneca Lake all the time to Watkins Glen State Park. I can't tell you how many times I walked that park. I hope you have a wonderful week! Thanks for visiting my blog- xo Diana
Well, I will miss you. Please share a bunch when you return!! I love that you had a special girl's day at the lake!! Safe travels!! xo
They should have the golf carts or some kind of transportation for those who do not walk well...just ask for a ride in the airport.
What a small world! I absolutely love Watkins Glen! As they say about Ithaca, it's "gorgeous"! Although right about now it's what my nightmares are made of, with all those stairs! :)
