Hi Lyn...now you have heard the saying "when served with lemons...make lemonade"...and that is what you are going to do...make lemonade and have a great time togethr...you also know the one about "best laid plans of mice and men?"...in this case "plans of Lyn"....YOU are why Dad and Sis have come...and if the other things happen that is fine...otherwise...lotsa hugs...lotsa talk...lotsa togetherness...is the ticket for the minute, hour, and day...hugs from KY...Ora

So sorry your visitors are having such bad weather as I would suppose they have had enough rain over this side of the pond to last them a lifetime hope it improves soon. Love Joan.

Sorry you are having such lousy weather!!!  Is there anything indoors that you could do together such as bowling, or some indoors activity that you could do together to help build some special memories of time spent together?

I have been thinking of you!  I am so sorry that you are stuck inside... I will definately pray for sunshine and no rain.  As I host I know you are trying to give them the best experience... but I also know that they just love you so much (how could they not?) and are thrilled to be with you.  Be well.  Be happy.  You have be given much.

God Bless you and I will be praying..

Are you anywhere near Flea Master?  You could spend 4 days in that place and still not see it all, lol.
So sorry their trip isn't what you had planned ... but I bet you they ARE loving every minute of being with you and don't care at all if you ever leave the house.

Oh they probably could have stayed at home for that weather!  You can send it to us.  We sure need the rain!

Oh man! The weather is SUCKIN'!!!
Well, at least you are all together.  Enjoy as best you can.  And you never know about the weather. Sometimes it just does it's own thing for the hell of it.

Sorry the weather is cooperating with your plans...  Same thing happened to my brother when he went overseas in June---only a few days of sunshine during the two weeks he was there---BUT he had a good time despite it all.  I'm sure your family is having a great time with you--enjoy it!!  :)  Julie

Sorry about the weather, Lyn.  But you know your family is being truthful about enjoying being with you, and your family.  Just kick back, chill and enjoy having them with you.  If the mall is the only "entertainment"...pick a store or two per day to visit.  ; )  

Nice of you to say hi, miss ya.  Enjoy this family time.

Hugs,

Cindy

I am hoping sunshine will head your way so that you can do the things you had planned on doing! Sometimes just doing nothing is enough! Hope your days ahead become bright and give you many reasons to smile. Take care,

One thing about USA weather, it can change quickly and long range predictions are usually wrong.  So let's hope things improve!

Well, did the rain go away?  It has been pretending to want to rain here, but no such luck.  Ok my favorite camper, have yourself a nice weekend.

Honey, don't stress about the weather - you can't change it!!!  And I am sure your sis and dad are telling the truth!  They are just happy to be spending time together with you.  They don't need entertaining - they are happy just being with family.  But I know you had so much planned and its frustrating when our plans are sabotaged by things beyond our control!!!  Don't worry - a nice bottle of plonk, a bag of crisps and a film! Everyone will enjoy themselves!!!
