This quail poppa was standing guard over his wife and young ones.
I’ve been nervous about traveling to a wedding this week. It’s in Northern California and the venue is in a Redwood Forest. I was supposed to go to a wedding in the same venue for a good friend’s daughter. My daughter was a bridesmaid. But, I ended up having surgery the day before after I fell and broke my ankle.
I’m cleared to travel by my doctor. But I didn’t feel up to it and I stressed all week. Right now I’m sitting at the airport. I went through security fine and was excited that we no longer have to take off our shoes. However, they made me take off my ankle brace because it had metal in it. That meant my shoes and brace had to come off. It’s a complicated brace with three layers of laces and velcro straps.
Next, our flight was delayed two times. I feel like this trip wasn’t meant to be. But it’s for our Palm Springs friends who moved one mile from us in Arizona. They have three daughters and one son. This is their fourth wedding in two years!
Hopefully, we’ll get on the plane and headed to our destination!
Happy August First! My mom and I played a game that one the first day of the month, we’d call and try to be the first to wish each other “Happy First Day of the Month.”
What are your plans for this weekend?
Safe travels and I hope you enjoy the trip.
Hope all goes well EA! Try to relax, breathe and enjoy your weekend 🙂
Thanks! I will try!
* waves hello to her favorite quail *
I hope the rest of your journey is stress free.
Remember when flying used to be fun?
🥴
It used to be so exciting. Those were the days! I’m so glad you like the quail. He takes his job seriously.
You’ll have fun once you are there!
I hope so!
Wishing you good times and having fun once you arrive! I remember your pics from your son’s wedding! I hope all is well for your family.
Thank you! It’s just hard traveling being injured and with low energy right now. It will be two years in a couple weeks that my DIL has surgery for cancer.
Sorry about the delays. Hope the rest of your travels go well!
Thanks! We were a few hours delayed. But on the bright side, the aunt of the bride was on our flight. It was fun catching up with her.
Hope the wedding and the trip is a fun one!
We were supposed to visit my mother in law in Florida. Got to airport. Sat my gate. 45 minutes before boarding flight cancelled the weather in our flight path. So we went to dinner and a movie last night, and got tickets to met game today
Hope all is going well and you’re relaxing and enjoying yourself. 🥰❤️🥰
We finally arrived and enjoyed the area which is all new to me. Lots of cute shops and restaurants all within walking distance. 😊
Yay!!! Enjoy!!! 🥰❤️🥰
💕
Glad to hear you arrive safely and like the place. Have a fun weekend with your friends!
Thanks! We’re already back home. It was a fun event but I can’t believe how tired I got traveling.
Hope things have smoothed out! I’m wondering where you’re headed because we’re in the bay area. I’m sure it’s beautiful, so enjoy! 💞
Saratoga Springs is the venue. It was beautiful. We stayed in Los Gatos.
I can see why you would be dreading the travel part; such a hassle with your brace. I hope it all went well.
I love that First Of The Day game—how very sweet!
It was a fun trip, but exhausting. It was fun to be seated at a table with families from my kids’ school and catch up. The getting through the airport was hard. I took off my brace on the way home. Left my phone in my back pocket and had to go through a total pat down!
Hoping everything goes well. Safe Travels and Rest too <3 <3 <3
Thanks!
