No, I'm not talking about cosmetics. Some of you may recall my surprise birthday gift of a trip to Boston, Massachusetts in June. It was fraught with disasters.
*My son's best friend was killed in a car accident
*Our dinner plans with a couple from Savannah, Georgia were cancelled due to the wife getting a viral infection
*My husband tripped and fell, had a CAT Scan and stitches in his forehead at the hospital
He felt so badly that the weekend wasn't a happy one for me, although we managed to squeeze in some fun, great food, and wonderful shopping.
He just surprised me, silly grin and all, with another weekend in Boston for our anniversary. He told me he wants to make it up to me.
Now, I have to cancel a long standing dinner date with friends from Maine.

You have to take up that "make up" offer how could you not?
Go and enjoy it all you can.
Lucky you no dinners to cook sigh.....

No, I would not turn it down either and I donĀ“t blame you going out you have to have that "make up" and wear it with pride hugs.

Thanks for stopping by and for the well wishes. We will be staying in our other favorite hotel. It's connected to Saks and Louis Vuitton. Yay! It's not far from the other one. Our new router was shipped today, finally!!!!
You may not see me for a while tomorrow. We are going to my favorite gown shop. I'm so excited!
Goodnight.

@DianneN I've heard things come in three's too. I don't know why that is, it's kinda strange. I'm not sure what I feel about that to be honest. But I know I've thought about it and have wondered about it.

You're welcome! My son is doing better after going to see the scene of the accident and recreating what may have happened. He's celebrating his friend's birthday, the day we leave for Boston, with a group of his friends.
My husband is all healed up. You'd never know his forehead was split open.
Thanks so much for asking!

That's terrible, your son's friend getting killed in a car accident! Then, your husband getting injured, it's no wonder your trip wasn't enjoyable:(
