Hello. Sorry I've been lurking and haven't been in for a while.

My great nan passed away a couple of days ago so I've been trying my best to keep myself busy. I think I'm in denial at the moment as I still can't quite believe it. I'm guessing it will hit me hard at the funeral when I can finally come to terms with what's happened. :( the worst part was that I barely saw her in her last few weeks. The truth is that I was scared. I was scared of seeing her like that. She was so weak and half of the time she wasn't conscious. She was asking for me so I went to see her but I couldn't bare being there long. Sitting there watching her like that was so hard. It was selfish of me. I wish I saw her more. We were actually away when she passed. My nan was with her the whole time though so she had people there. :(

I was thinking about saying something at the funeral but I don't think I'll be able to do it. :(
So sorry for your loss. :(
Don't be so hard on yourself. You did the best you could: it was extra hard for you because you loved her so much.
Hugs from Mooz

I love the IDEA of camping and I've camped a lot in South and North Carolina as well as Tennessee.
But here in Florida, the insects are just insane.
The best compromise is to rent a cabin.
My idea of camping involves cabins, full kitchens, screens on the windows, indoor plumbing and proper beds. Yes, I'm a wimp!!! :p
I had more than enough of real camping as a Girl Scout a couple hundred years ago ;)

How far back are the photos? I went back to 2035; somewhere after that I saw 2 photos of the two of you. There's more? ;)

Thanks. But I'm good.
After the surgery, my heart was doing some strange things that concerned me. But it is a little better now and I'm assuming that all will be just fine.
I return to work tomorrow, too.:)

Yeah...I think I'll go for a hotel room in Florida. Out west the camping is wonderful. There aren't the little bitey black fly/gnats of New England and because the climate is dryer the amount of mosquitos is probably a quarter of what you find in the south. Spray on a bit of bugspray and zero issues.

I have a goal to hit every National Park in the lower 48 states. I have a map with pushpins and everything:) I'm feeling inspired by John and Adam meeting up and may decide to pop in on forum members in some of the further away places. Half the forum seems to live in Texas, Arizona, and California:)
