I'm on my way home from PDX. Stopped for lunch at my all time favorite hangout in Portlandia - The Screen Door. Oysters and a cup of gumbo. I just love the foodie scene here.

Are you sure you're not in a nightclub? That is some weird light going on - your Canard looks like Cobalt.
Just what exactly do these "biz trips" entail? I think you're holding out on us. :laugh:

I was at the Aloft bar. At night they try to make it look clubby with mood lighting and great drinks.

Hi BVettes
Hope everyone is doing well.
Been having a rough couple of weeks
I have very little family left
My kids grand kids couple cousins
My one cousin, who is my age has been in and out of the hospital for the last couple weeks. He had a bad heart, diabetes, is a double amputee, confined to a wheelchair. Now he has lost the sight in one of his eyes to glaucoma. He keeps going into congestive heart failure and then every stay in the hospital he is released with different meds. He takes about 25 different pills a day. He is in a program called Caring. This is basically like assisted living in your own home. They claim he is not nursing home material because he can do things for himself.
Needless to say this is wreaking havoc on my IBS and I haven't been straying far from home.
It is a shame because my cousin doesn't have a mean bone in his body. He just got stuck with a crappy body.
Very sad very [emoji24]

I'm sorry to hear about the difficult time you are going through. I'm hoping the positive thoughts of the new grandbaby coming will help. It doesn't take away the sadness of loss, though. I think it must be a hard thing to ascend to the top of the generational chart and have that sense of responsibility for the generations coming up. Your cousin sounds like an amazing person to deal with everything he's going through.

It's been a quiet, stay-at-home sunday, spent some time on my hobby and got my V's nails done, not that i am celebrating it big time, but just for the spirit... besides, it compliments my 2 new red bags, New Red cervo hobo and last snatch Pillow in Vesuvio... Love is in the air! :love:

Cute nails, K! I've got the creeping crud rhinovirus that is going around the west coast of the US. Any one else have this? Is it going to get better someday? I have used up 4 boxes of Kleenex in the past 4 days. :hrmm:

I just started it - watery eyes, irritated nose, very painful sore throat. Ouch ouch. It's that miserable dragging feeling of not being sick enough to stay in bed, but not being well enough to do things normally. :(

I'm glad there is a support program in place for your cousin. Sending positive vibes and hugs from Canada :hugs:

@brunomars - #princetribute - I just watched Bruno shred a guitar like Prince had came down to earth. What a perfect tribute, purple coat and all! Bruno's talent knows no bounds! :heart:

He was great, and I have to admit I didn't even know he played the guitar. :drool:

I've had something since the week before Christmas and can't shake it but it's been in my chest for the last month. It's super tight and then it loosens and then it goes back to tight again. Thankfully I only suffered from plugged ears and a little bit of the sniffles early on, but no horrible snuffleupagus issues. I truly believe that my Botox appointment on Wednesday will cure it.
Okay, it won't cure it, but I'm going to look at least two years younger so....
Hope you feel better soon - it sucks, eh? :crybaby:

Me! It came on suddenly just days after getting over a Noro virus. Sudden onset combined with chills and fever and lots of head and sinus crud......I was told it's the Korean flu, the one we are not vaccinated against. Ten days and I'm still coughing and blowing. Feel better soon!
