Favorite Bathrooms

  • Home Sweet Home
  • When I'm @ someones house: the one farthest away from the crowd
  • @ the Mall: Macy's (as public bathrooms go this one is very nice)
  • If I can't make it to Macy's...JC Penney's will have to do (they recently remodeled so it is better than it was. I don't know why they didn't ask for my input???)
  • Monterey Bay Fish Grotto in Monroeville has a great bathroom
  • Ponte Vedra Inn and Club, My fav place to vacation, their rooms have the most wonderful bathrooms

A quick Trip down memory lane

I saw an old picture of myself yesterday. I was about 12 years old. I couldn’t help thinking how great that age was. I know I didn’t think that at the time because I was your average 12 year old going through that awkward funny looking stage. But now I look at that picture and realize how simple life was then. My Mom was still living (she died 2 years later when I was 14). My oldest brother was still living (he was in the picture with me). Not only did I not have crohns disease I had no idea what it was so there was no abdominal pain, no running to the bathroom, no pills, no injections, no joint pain, and certainly no surgery. Heck there were hardly any trips to the doctor so no waiting rooms, no paper gowns, no awful torturous tests, no awful torturous preps for tests, and no health insurance woes…. So glad I have those memories of a simpler time and even though my journey has been a bumpy one I am very blessed. I have God, a wonderful spouse, the best two sons in the world, the greatest family and friends, love, laughter, and baseball too.
Love, laugh, and always know where the nearest bathroom is…
