You are entirely welcome, merrieeee. You are a special part of our board, and we know how much your daughter meant to you. Please let us know if you need ANYTHING.

1) What a great tribute to her, and her memory. 2) She looked like you. 3) {{{{{{{{{{{{{{{hugs}}}}}}}}}}}}}}} It's nice to know more about her in this way.

Happy birthday Parker!

He lives! At the Raleigh Airport. https://www.facebook.com/bbwlover98370/posts/pfbid0XmFkwR2XcgwxDPzLnbbYXXpg9zyEhc7mVabPfwBhR89TKAP5u5KK5iALdiqCgxDRl

Found out earlier in the week that I've been exposed to COVID again. AARGH. So far no symptoms, and two negative tests within 36 hours. The last exposure I had with this person was last Thursday, almost a week ago. I'm hoping that by this Friday everything will be good, as I have two different boob squishes plus a bone density scan that day.

merrieeee, I am so glad you checked it. Just know that...

July 21

Whoa! And hooray Clay!

Did you notice that if you follow the link on the National Inclusions Project's FB page for the book mentioned above, you go to the company that is publishing to book. https://myemail.constantcontact.com/New-Resource-Available-Now--Best-Practices-for-Inclusive-Camps.html?soid=1101860854212&aid=w3KoArwQF2k AND... If you scroll to the bottom of that page, you can read the introduction, THE FORWARD (Clay's portion), and the first chapter! https://cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0637/5817/2384/files/Inclusive_Camps_Look_Inside.pdf?v=1685631748 Clay is such a GREAT writer.

Clay wrote the Forward to this book, and the National Inclusion Project very much contributed. https://www.instagram.com/p/Cu4UI7_OeMn/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D

Nice picture gbmifan! Hopefully the weather cooperates, but it’s nice to also have a motorhome to retreat to if needed. It’s looking like this show is off the table for fall: October 14, at the Credit Union of Texas Event Center (Allen, TX). Beanerknits noticed that there was also a Ruben Sings Luther show scheduled that same night (although that is not on Ruben’s website at this point, but on Ticketmaster), so I guess the Ruben/Clay show there is gone. Kind of a bummer.

Here you go. Virtual drinking.

Hey! Hope you are doing OK....miss you.

My DH is from St. Anthony, which is part of the Twin Cities. And our tourism on Minnesota finished with a wedding in Fridley, also part of the Twin Cities. We spent a day driving along the North Shore of Lake Superior, and also spent a morning at the Mall of America. We also went to Al's Breakfast, which is a hole in the wall in Minneapolis with the best pancakes anywhere. Our stop at the Spam Museum was planned, because we LOVE Spam. Bought a 12 pack of 6 different varieties!

Had to share this from our trip. The last stop we made was to the Spam Museum in Austin, Minnesota. It's actually quite charming there, and I bought a LOT of different flavors of Spam (the one with bacon included is especially good). Anyway, they have a small exhibit on our favorite musical. (Sadly, the screen was showing what looked to be a regional production, not the Broadway version with Clay. Bummer.)

Gbmifan, I hope your trip is safe and that you have little weatherr problems. I also hope you get a good Gala ticket. Home again, home again jiggity jig. Tired but happy to see my cats! We stopped at an outlet mall on the way back home and I actually found pants that fit and are long enough! Bought three. Well, well, well…Clay has joined Threads.

Anyone here on Threads (Instagram’s version of Twitter) yet?

Also, this happened while Clay was in Indianapolis. So sweet of Clay! https://www.instagram.com/p/CuQrvFUtP8h/?igshid=NjIwNzIyMDk2Mg%3D%3D

Clay just posted this as an Instagram story. You go Clay.

Pictures from Indianapolis -- they also showed up on Facebook. DH and I spent the day starting in Duluth, MN, and driving along the coast of Lake Superior. Lighthouses, shops, and I got to put my fingers into the Lake (it was COLD). Now back to our hotel after a long day and just had a pizza delivered!

Clay was in Indianapolis yesterday according to this Instagram post. https://www.instagram.com/p/CuQkheDN004/?igshid=MzRlODBiNWFlZA%3D%3D If someone can grab screenshots of the pictures, that would be much appreciated!

That's awesome gbmifan! Clay friends are the best! DH and I are leaving tomorrow for a trip to Minnesota for the week. We will spending July 3-5 in Duluth, hoping that the weather is decent for us to see the beauty in Lake Superior. Then, we are visiting family in the Twin Cities. Today has been a DRAG, though. You know, when you go on vacation, you have to do a thorough cleaning of the house, right? So that's what we've been doing. I'm grateful that my husband doesn't mind vacuuming! Plus there's laundry and of course packing. Right now, I'm chilling on the couch with a cup of decaf coffee and watching one of my guilty pleasure shows, Dr. Pimple Popper! I should be able to check in here just in case Clay does something...

Peoria, Illinois today. It was BAD. Pulled out masks today.

Merrieeee, I am glad you checked in. That is so awesome regarding the celebration of Emily’s life. It is gratifying knowing that she touched so many people. Know that you’re still in my thoughts, and give it time. Grieve in your own way. We will be here for you.
