Hi, friends! You have no idea how busy it’s been around here. I won’t bore you with the details now 
, but suffice it to say, our beautiful weather has played a huge role.
The highlight of my life was having my boys, their better halves, and my granddaughter and grandson here last Sunday. We had so much fun and laughs together along with real hugs and kisses. There is NOTHING better than the love and joy of family.
FYI, I tried so hard to answer my 400 notifications, but every day they stayed at 400. I think I talk too much on here. Starting from scratch once again.

I don't have a problem with notifications, not very many members are following me. Our weather has been gorgeous in Michigan, I love it this way! It's good to hear that your entire family was all present, to share genuine hugs, kisses, and tons of love

@DianneN The day our granddaughter Taylor stopped by, I gave her about five king-sized hugs! Then I told her, 'this is my version of social separation!'

Aren't into COVID lockdown? We are not allowed to have get togethers of more than 4/6 people and no hugs or kisses at all! It's good to hear that you/some people are able to start leading a bit of a normal life. We are starting a third lockdown and our government has urged us all to stay indoors and no socializing unless it's "A Must". I just came back from my Dentist's appointment and it was very quiet there as well, I was the only patient.
Stay safe and healthy.

@DianneN I am glad that you are taking all the precautions. Masks and repetitive sanitizing can be bothersome but I think it's very important during this time with the pandemic.

@tiwari5485 It’s become a way of life for me. I don’t want covid at all.

@DianneN I remember hearing on an audiotape recording from a self help company that family members will be there instead of a stranger.

That's okay, I usually skim mine and go past all the likes. Glad you had a wonderful weekend and even more wonderful weather.

@DianneN Yeah. I really should do that, LOL. But, I've been busy just trying to post, that I forgot to play with my settings.

@kaylachan It takes two seconds, and that’s pretty good coming from me.

That’s the problem here with notifications. Sometimes I can’t make a dent in them with the back an forth comments. I just got here. We walked a lot this morning and then our son stopped by for a visit. He just left to do work.
Thanks so much! It was so good being together again.

Wow 400 that would scare the best of us away I think.
There is nothing better than being with family and I miss that too. While I do see my kids and their sides I miss seeing my siblings and the meals or big family had on a holidays together.
There's nothing better than bestowing life and hugs on those were love. I'm glad you got to see your kids and their families all together.

@DianneN I know you've all been in contact, but it's always fun to be able to catch up in person . Oh, tidbits . . . do tell .
Being busy with life is a good thing. I've been online less these days, but I have to. The weather is great right now for doing yard stuff . . . better for me to do it now before it gets too hot. Other stuff going on too. Have a great day and weekend . . . enjoy your beautiful weather . . . oh - it's Friday date night !

It was so wonderful, but we all did so much talking. However, I did pick up some terrific tidbits, one of which will please you.
What a two weeks it has been, and it’s not over. I think I like being busy and out in the beautiful weather we have had. I will try to be here more often.

Your notification exploded I believe. Lol.
Don't worry too much about the notification, that can wait. We are not going anywhere.
The most important thing is that you get to spend time with your family.

@DianneN Sounds like a good exercise. Are you with them during the walk?

@jobelbojel Just us. We do go for walks with my son every so often in the afternoon if he isn’t too busy with work, He often has to take a call or text, but usually puts them off unless it’s important.
