D D I'm #51 on the Totem Pole so to speak ;0)

Waited to one second past the time I could check in ......I'm like....how did that happen. DIL Deb told me people pay extra to board first.  Ah ha! I'm on that flight.....one way or another. ;0) 
Told my son what's going on with my nephew. Drew is my dead brother Ronnie' sons, aka Scott Marlow, aka Ronald Scott.  . His mother died at age 22. If the state hadn't of taken custody of him before she died unexpectedly from a tumor that was pushing her eye out of the socket...he'd have died of neglect. My mother was made of the same stock as I am. Orr is that,,,I'm made of the same stock she was.;0) Flew from CA to Maryland to get him from a foster home and become his legal guardian. My brother was in THE PEN ( Soledad at that time, I believe, Chino...one of them any way. he made all kinds of promises that once out he's raise his son. DIDN'T HAPPEN. Was either in trouble with the law again or chasing women. I AM VERY SURE that once all four of my mother's  children were out of the house RAISING another child was not what she expected to be doing. My sister adopted two of her grands at birth ...one was 13 when my sister Nancy passed away and the other was seven,   I also am sure that I would have done the same if the situation arose. :0) 

 THINGS are not  Kosher here. THIS HOUSE is not what my DIL wanted. She wanted to buy ...on water and she still has her mind set on it.  Life's a BEACH ...the pull over shirt I'm wearing today....SAYS SO! ;0)

Asked my son if he'd take me to St.Armands Circle today. It's a GO!. :0) Lots of specialty shops there. Even one with cheap BLING! ;0) It's right on the ocean. Bay/inter-coastal???

My flight has been delayed 40 minutes...so far. Subject to change...just like everything else.  Was 9:10 p.m. that I went up in the air. NOW...it's UP IN THE AIR! ;0)
My large suitcase is packed solid. I worked up a sweat getting it closed. If the airlines opens it to check it .....good luck to them getting the shit back in.

Went to watch my grandson LJ lob a basket of golf balls at a driving range while my son and I enjoyed the cool breeze and shade just feet away and PIZZA. It was DIL Deb's suggestion this morning  that he take him out for awhile. He's down in the dumps. NOT ONLY about trying to break into the radiation ( xray ) field , but last Friday he found out his temp license expired in Feb. and he has been calling here there and everywhere to get his license.  Yesterday he called someone in the position of FL State radiology licenses 5 times. No reply back to his messages. sighhhh
He finally got a job...did not get enough on the job training and then they find out he has no license. sighhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh  Which means....NO WORK and how long will they hold this job open for him. ??????   See.....everyone has PROBLEMS. I shit you not!

Back home...a nap....and I open my email. Lookee what I saw/read.

I have a REPRIEVE! OMG! I feel like the weight of the world has been taken off my shoulders....for now.

Back from St.Armands Circle and Lido Beach. Plane leaves another five minutes later now. (9:55)
Going to post a few pics I took the last few days and go pack the last of my stuff into the carry on case and......pray it closes.
