I’m such a bad myLotter. I haven’t been here in ages. Hubs wanted to see our grandson compete in Innsbruck, Austria, so we hastily packed and flew to Austria. We didn’t have time to see him practice in Munich. He played goalie extremely well in hockey, made the playoffs, but his team didn’t make the finals. Yet, we all had quite an experience and fun!
Instead of returning home, hubs and I spent a week in Paris, then flew to our place in Florida. Returned home Monday. Busy with planting flowers, getting a fire pit installed on our patio, and have been having trees removed to extend our lawn
TGIF! Both hubs and I are sick with exhaustion. Long weekend here and having company for Memorial Day. It will be beautiful on our new patio and roasting marshmallows or s’mores in our fire pit.
Hope to see you soon.

@RasmaSandra Yes, I have 4 different tomato varieties and some small pickling cukes. They grew well on my deck last summer, so I hope they do even better in my garden.
Thanks. I’m so pooped and am sitting down for the first time today. Feels soooo good.

Well catch up with your projects at your house. Sounds like you're renovations outside will allow for better entertaining. À European vacation sounds like fun too. Will see you when we see you.

Pretty and I haven't been anywhere and aren't planning on going anywhere.
I'm glad you and your family had a nice time and hope the holiday weekend goes well for you, too.

@DianneN I understand. Pretty and I were messing around in our yard today. We had a tree come down in the storms a few days ago and mowed part of the yard after we got the tree cleaned up.
You're welcome. And I'm sure we will. thanks.

@DaddyEvil Ugh! I’m having trees taken down before they fall on the house. Those branches alone can do a lot of damage. Storm or no storm, the slightest breeze knocks twigs and tree gunk all over the place. I refuse to discuss the pollen.

I am glad it's the weekend. I've have been working long weeks, and need a few days off. I love Paris! Do you speak French? I had heard that Parisians are snobs toward Americans who don't speak French. But I found that they treated me nicely just because I spoke a BIT of French. After awhile, our more "detailed" conversations were in English.

I hope you enjoy your weekend and get to unwind.
Who doesn’t love Paris? I’ve never had a problem with Parisians except one on our first trip. I forgot to ask her if she spoke English before I asked her a question. Boy, did she let me have it in perfect English!
I can speak the basics, It’s funny, because when I try out my French, they want to try out their English.

You were busy like bee as always.And you definitely need a good rest to gear up for more fun on Memorial day.
Sorry that your grandson and his team could not make it to the final. But they did get an experience of the lifetime.

Don't worry! I and the secret Mylot unofficial police had sanctioned your long off from Mylot; due to your past good behaviour!!
You seemed to have done quite a lot of fast travel - from US to Austria and Paris and back !
You need some good rest as well now!
Some dramatic things in my personal life but would talk about then later on !
So now you would be back to posting "Morning Walk" posts and others and make it 45 posts a day ??

Well, a few dramatic things happened in my life. But well, I shared a few posts regarding that and then I am trying to have more of the "Fun discussions" here!
Best of wishes for you and your family.
So when do you plan to be back in action here?

@DianneN I suppose it's a big lawn and is taking time to complete.

Oh, and she flew off to Innsbruck and then to Paris, Florida and back home. No wonder you don't have time for us! Well, it's good to see you. Rest up and have a nice Memorial Day weekend. I hope you'll be around more often.
