My daughter in law, Kristen, has a blog on which she will occasionally do "Roses and Thorns". Here she lists things that she likes and dislikes or things that are going on in her life, good and bad. I have decided to do something similar and name it "Stupid and Stupider". This will be a list of things that husband says and does that I just stand and wonder at. I have been told by many persons that IT IS NOT ME ! who is crazy. I know that when you are the crazy person in the room you are the one who absolutely, positively believes you are SANE. Well, after 41 years of thinking I was the crazy one I have it on good authority that I am not nuts!
But then let me share with you some of the stupid and stupider things that I encounter in a day and you be the judge.
Today's exchange went something like this . . .
Ger and I are in the kitchen. I am making breakfast and he is watching.
GER . . . "Your plant is dying".
(We live in South Florida. My house is filled with potted plants and the yard and patio are covered with potted plants. All of which are presumably "mine" since I bought them, potted them and care for them.)
CATH . . . "Which plant?"
GER . . . "The one outside"
(This now narrows the choices down to about 40)
CATH . . . (who by now knows I should just stop here but can't help myself)
"Which one outside?"
GER . . . (ARE YOU READY FOR THIS . . .) (he answers in dead seriousness)
"THE GREEN ONE"
(As opposed to what . . . the pink with purple polka dot one?) THEY ARE ALL GREEN !! (Except for the BROWN one that is dying!)
I kid you not . . . this was an actual exchange that went on here today. After the response of "The Green One" I stopped playing . . . I just gave husband an "OH" and left it at that. I usually don't bust out laughing but rather walk away to a quiet room, shut the door, put a towel in my mouth and SCREAM! I really do need to just start laughing but that would hurt his feelings because he is dead serious when he says these things and finds nothing odd in them. In fact he thinks it makes perfect sense and he is perfectly sane. And yet I am the one in therapy and taking drugs. I wonder why?

AEROBICS
I always thought I had rhythm. As a kid my parents always had the radio on and when a favorite song would play they would grab hold of each other and dance their way around our ever so small living room. I remember watching them in awe, the way they could move together so smoothly, fast, slow, never stepping on each others feet, never loosing that graceful rhythm. After a while they would swing me into their dance, in their arms or standing on my dads toes and I would twirl around with them lost in the beat of the music.
So, naturally, when aerobics made its appearance in the late 60's early 70's all of us young wives and mothers saw this as a great way to loose that extra 20 pounds. The local high school offered evening aerobics classes so a group of us signed up. The gym was huge so there was plenty of room for all to spread out, dressed in our finest aerobic outfits . . . baggy sweat pants and an extra baggy tee shirt. (This was just the beginning of the fitness craze and we did not yet have a wardrobe of "work out" clothes.) This was just a bunch of young moms, out for a free night away from the kids and looking to "bust some moves". Visions of the not so long ago dating scene at some disco we were ready to move and groove. Fortunately for all I chose a spot at the back of the gym. NO one going to watch this fat ass moving and grooving, thank you very much. And then the instructor turned on the music and off we went.
And a one and a two and a three . . . step step right, step step left, turn, slide step step back, step step forward, turn slide . . . OH GOD . . . what am I doing here? Everyone was going right and I was going left, everyone was going forward and I was going back. Yes, I had rhythm but I lacked coordination! It wasn't pretty. After the first session I never went back. I just didn't fit into the whole aerobic culture.
Until today! My next door neighbor invited me to join her at water aerobics at our community pool. Thankfully without music and in water up to my neck water aerobics is much easier. If you fall over you just get wet and you don't take down the three people around you. It was a great hour of exercise run by a young thing with a killer body but all around me were other women of a certain age who have had hip and knee replacements and were just out for an hour of exercise. I LOVED IT! No sweating to the oldies, you're in a pool so even if you are sweating you don't know it. No music to distract me from remembering which way is left and which was is right. When I lost control and my body got moving in directions I hand no control over I just floated till I came to rest. (Think a boat that looses it's engines or rudder. Not very poetic but you get the picture.) It was GREAT! I actually had a few laughs with the other ladies and at the end of the class I felt so good I dove under water to celebrate, much to the horror of the other women who couldn't get their hair or makeup wet. Can you believe wearing make up and your gold jewelry to go exercise? I guess I just don't really fit in here either.

Minor League Baseball
For Ger and I one of the great perks of living in South Florida is the abundance of baseball. I am not a great baseball fan who has to faithfully attend all of my favorite teams games. In fact, I don't have a favorite team! At least not in the "Big League". Being a displaced New yorker I do HATE the Yankees and I like the Mets. I have been known to attend a few Mets' games and cheer the team on but I am not even close to being the Met fan that our son Kent is. His dog is named Mookie after player Mookie Wilson and there was some concern that his soon to be born son would be named Shea after the old stadium in Flushing, Queens where the Mets have played for years.
Rather, Ger and I are Minor League baseball fans and our team is THE JUPITER HAMMERHEADS !! When we moved to South Florida we found ourselves living down the street from a wonderful, new, little stadium called Roger Dean Stadium. It is the site of Spring training for the Florida Marlins and the St. Louis Cardinals. March baseball madness hits our area when all the Cardinal fans come out to see their team practice for the season opener. All the Snow Birds flock to the stadium wearing their red shirts and hats to cheer their team on. On days that the Marlins are playing there are fewer fans but the stadium gets about $30 a ticket so they manage to stay in business.
Come April the BIG TEAMS leave and in come the Jupiter Hammerheads and the Palm Beach Cardinals. Once again the Cardinals have the greater following but the Hammerheads are still our favorites. Every day for the months of April through September there is a game to be seen. some days the Cardinals play the Hammerheads. Other days they are playing the various other Florida minor league teams but who ever is playing you know it is going to be fun. These young men are playing a game they love with all the energy and enthusiasm they have. Each minor league team has a mascot . . . Robbie the Red Bird for the Cardinals and Hamilton the Shark for the Hammerheads. These characters wander the stadium during the entire game sitting with the fans, taking pictures with fans and entertaining the crowds between innings. There are also sack races, water balloon baseball and other crazy stunts for the kids in the crowd to participate in out on the field between innings. All this adds up to a great evening or afternoon out. Most games are at 7PM when the sun is cooling down and there is some shade to be found to maximize the breeze that is blowing in off the ocean. Could life possible get better than this? YES !!! A year ago the promotions group for the stadium hit upon a sure thing. The SILVER SLUGGERS were introduced to the fans. The stadium already has The Knothole Gang for kids, Dog Days of Summer for the pet owners, (Once a month dog owners bring their dogs to the game), and a few other gimmicks to get the fans to attend the games. But the Silver Slugger was a stroke of genius. Sponsored by Humana Health Care persons over the age of 55 can join The Silver Sluggers for $20 for the entire season. This entitles you to one ticket for EVERY Wednesday night game, (that would be 20 games) for the season, a FREE hot dog and a FREE soda. That is 20 baseball tickets, 20 hot dogs and 20 sodas for the unheard of price of $20. AND they play baseball bingo every Wednesday so you have a chance to win movie tickets and restaurant coupons! It's a deal you can't refuse. It was such a hit this past year that the stadium decided to do it again this year. Naturally the price went up to $25 for the season but come on, it is still the best deal in town.
And so we are now FANS ! OH, did I forget to mention that last year we got free seat cushions and this year we got a free hat? Be still my heart. There is nothing that a Florida Senior Citizen loves more than two for one coupons than something for FREE! PLAY BALL !

Movies & .Blood
These are not related so don't look for the Freudian connection in my psyche. These topics are just 2 of the things that have been in my life these past few days. (I apologize for not blogging as often as I did in England but until the new computer arrives I am doing as little as I can on this little note book.)
Starting with Blood . . . ARE YOU A BLOOD DONOR? I wasn't for years and years and then some how or other got "sucked" back in. Our church has a blood mobile parked in the parking lot every couple of months and I was feeling guilty over being so blessed and not doing anything to help others, so I signed up to donate a pint. A lovely lady named Evelyn entered my life as a result. She works for the Florida Blood Bank and calls me every so often to get me to donate. Then one day while I was giving my pint of blood I saw something about donating PLATELETS. It takes about an hour and you can donate every month. The platelets are used for so much more than just blood so they are in greater demand. I usually end up donating every 3-4 months just because of our busy schedules but at least I feel that I am making a contribution of some sort to those less fortunate than me. Donating platelets involves something similar to a blood transfusion. They take my blood from one arm, filter it through a machine to take out the platelets and then return it to me. There is no light headed feeling involved but it does make you cold so it is the perfect thing to do on a HOT day in South Florida. Considering the heat wave that is sweeping the country you just might want to consider donating some yourself.
Having spent the morning giving platelets Ger and I took the afternoon to relax in style and go see a movie with our free tickets. (A story for another day.) When I went to Curves on Tuesday I overheard some women discussing the movie INCEPTION. It sounded like something I would like so that was our choice. My brain is still spinning from this movie. As I said to Ger, "It hurts my brain to try to think about this movie." Not to mention the ending that I thought was perfect. But you have to see it for yourself to understand what I am taking about, Just know it is VERY confusing at first but pay attention and you'll get it. It is very different from the usual sappy love story or bloody shoot-em-up. It's got something for everyone. Ger really enjoyed it which I didn't really expect so that is a good endorsement. It is not a movie to go to if you want to relax. You have to think and pay attention but it is worth the effort. I give it a 4 star . . . must see !

Back in the States
NO jet lag !! How is that for a big surprise !! NO jet lag going to England and none coming home. What ever is going on? We arrived at Heathrow on Saturday morning for our flight to Philly on British Airways. I will NEVER fly any other air line across the pond. British Air was FANTASTIC ! The seats are comfortable, large, spacious from your neighbor and lots of leg room. The food was fabulous and I got to watch 3 movies for free so the flight went so fast I couldn't believe it. I have never been that comfortable on a plane before. Delta take note . . . you SUCK ! Take some lessons from the Brits and get your act together. We arrived in Philly early, breezed through customs, collected our bags, turned around and rechecked our bags FOR FREE, walked to the gate that our US Air connecting flight was leaving from and relaxed. NO hassles, no rush, no panic. US Air flight actually left early and we were in Fl 20 minutes ahead of schedule. Not even my favorite air line, Southwest, is that good.
If you remember, our Delta flight to England was delayed 3 hours, was crowded, uncomfortable and just plain nasty.They charged us for our extra baggage TWICE! Once from West Palm to Atlanta and again for Atlanta to London! Going home was wonderful, Thanks to British Airways. Unfortunately for Kyle and Abby, they were flying Delta from London to Atlanta, leaving an hour after us on Saturday. We talked to Kyle last night and his flight was a typical Delta fiasco. Plane left late, was packed to the brim and Abby and Kyle were in the VERY LAST ROW with another person. The plane took off and then informed everyone that there would be NO FOOD SERVICE on the NINE (9) hour flight because there had been a fire in their food distribution center. But (GET THIS . . . ) food would be available FOR PURCHASE ! What kind of bull poop is that ??????
OH, but when Kyle got off the plane he was given a $200 voucher for future travel to compensate him for the inconvenience. (He also received one for Abby and then a man at the baggage pick up gave him his because he said he would never use it.) Was not having any food for 9 hours worth $600 ? NOT TO ME ! I HATE DELTA !!! Always have and always will!
But now we are home and it is GRAND ! We have fallen right back into our old life and it is GOOD ! The pool is about 92 degrees and fabulous! The sun is bright and the air is hot but it is NOT humid so it is delightful to be out side. From what we hear from all of you in other parts of the US we are cooler than most.
We will see Kent and Kristen tomorrow to see for ourselves how our grandson is doing inside poor Kristen's belly. The poor girl is so bloated I think if she was pricked with a pin she would become a human sprinkler. She looks so uncomfortable, my heart goes out to her. But in a week and a half little Baby Boy Lawlor will enter the world and hopefully Kristen will begin to return to normal. The day after Baby "S" is born Keri, Steve and Kaelin will fly to Florida to spend 2 weeks with us so Kaelin will get to meet her new baby cousin just after he is born. Kaelin is also going to get to see Abby and Roman for a day up in MD before she comes to Florida. Bridget is flying with Abby and Roman to Richmond to see her parents for a few days and they plan on a get together with Keri and Kaelin. I can't believe the kids are spread all over the world and yet they manage to get to see each other.
Bottom line . . . It's good to be home!

The Last Day
I have gotten more cards from people over here because we are leaving than I get at home on my birthday. I guess they are really glad to see us go! Ger and I got another card today from Abby' s friend Savanna and her family. They wished us well and a safe journey and asked us to keep in touch. I guess we have become ambassadors for American Grand parents and need to stay on the road for the rest of our days.
Today we spent the day cleaning and doing laundry. We took a break and drove out to the Windsor Royal Farm Stand where we found they were having a BEER FEST for the weekend . . . and we're leaving town! OH NO ! Talk about poor planning! Kyle was quite disappointed when he heard about it and I think he has noted this weekend on the calendar for next year. Because we had to pick up Abby in a short time we did not partake of the 40 different types of ale from local brewers but instead had a nice lunch in the coffee shop. It is a great farm shop with amazing produce and meats that all come from "The Queen's Farm". Although I can't quite picture Her Majesty milking a cow.
This afternoon we all spent quiet time playing and hanging out getting ready to leave tomorrow morning. Next time you hear from me it will be from Florida. Don't expect a blog tomorrow though because we will be getting home to Florida at 2 AM England time and I plan on sleeping most of Sunday.
It's been fun! Thanks for traveling with us and safe journey where ever you are going for the weekend.

Counting Down
One more day! I'm ready to go home and today I just threw up my hands and said, "ENOUGH!". I just could not wake up this morning. I could have stayed in bed for the entire day but that was not an option. I thankfully had a last chiropractor appointment this morning and when I tried to get out of bed I knew I needed it. Every inch of my body was in pain and I just didn't want to move. Ger was very good and took Abby to school for me so I didn't have to walk there and back. When I got to the chiropractor she performed her magic and I felt much better. Not only did she make me better physically but she and her office gave me a lovely thank you card for choosing them for my chiropractic care. But even with all that nice TLC I still couldn't get my act together to do anything for the day so we headed back home for a quiet breakfast and a nap. We did get some more packing done today and are close to being ready to leave.
As a finally farewell to Windsor Ger, Abby and I drove into town tonight to meet Kyle when he got off work at 5. We then all walked up to the castle to attend evening service in the
St. George's Chapel. It is a short service with BEAUTIFUL music sung by a small male choir who sat in right in front of us. We couldn't take pictures but I am sure they wouldn't do justice to the beauty of the chapel. It was magnificent! Right in the center of the area where we were sitting there is a huge plaque on the floor stating that the remains of Henry VIII are buried there. Who Knew? Now I have to research to find out how Henry made it to being buried in Windsor.
After church we all walked down to a little Italian restaurant that Ger and I had just discovered a week ago. We had a nice dinner and then came home to get Abby to bed. Kyle spoke to Bridget who is in Atlanta with Roman. They arrived safe and sound last night and made it through customs in one piece. They have already applied for Roman's US passport so they are on their way to getting him set. Abby is all excited that she will see her BROTHER on Saturday and we are all excited that we will be home in our own bed in 2 nights.
