psuhoffman Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 My son had a really bad day but he took it like a champ. His cat died, he got an ear infection and found out he can’t go in the pool for 2 weeks and then his favorite character in Star Wars rebels died. He said to me “you shouldn’t have let me watch that tonight”. Lol. He asked how to say goodbye in cat language at the vet then when we were burying Lilly said “I will miss you I hope we see you when we dead someday”. At bed time he simply said “today sucked can we never do that again” then asked me to stay with him until he is asleep because he is kinda sad. I was proud of how he handled everything. I don’t think I would have been as mature as he was. RIP Lilly 2 14 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

When our Disney trip in April got canceled he was disappointed but said “but I don’t want to get sick so ok”. Last year he saw a flood video on the news and said those people needs boats now and then we need to build them new houses but on top of something so that don’t happen again”. Recently he said he can’t really understand racism because he doesn’t understand why anyone would be mean to people because of how they look. He also constantly asks me difficult questions that are way over his weight. Sometimes I’m not sure how to answer. We aren’t totally sure how old Lily was, she was rescued. But around 11/12. Old but not that old. But she had a liver condition her whole life and it finally gave out. This morning my 2 year old almost made me cry when she crawled into Lily’s bed by the window like she often did to cuddle her and was saying lily and whimpering. 4 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Baltimorewx Posted June 20, 2020 Share Posted June 20, 2020 I don’t know why it won’t let me post pictures anymore but Got my Father’s Day present from Lily (my dog) and My gf...2 barrel aged stout beers, basil Hayden whiskey, a whiskey cigar, meat crafters fennel stick and various Jailbreak brewery stuff. Yeah we’re those kinda people @C.A.P.E. will be happy to know the barrel aged stout beers are pretty high gravity at 13%. The dusk till dusk imperial stout is supposedly pretty world class from what I’ve read on beer advocate. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I took my son there last week. There is a place near the northern end where Clipper Mill Rd crosses. A parking area with a trail to the water. There are also a couple places where Beckleysville Rd crosses the middle. We had more luck there. Overall we like Codorus near Hanover PA best. Sucks I’m 10 minutes away but have to pay out of State license fee because I’m 1 mile across the border but it’s the best/easiest accessible spot for the kids. I haven’t yet found a spot in MD close by the Kids like as much. There is a little community pond down the road on 30 we go sometimes if we just have an hour in the evening. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MillvilleWx Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Anyone want some of my 108F heat we'll see today? Btw, all is good over here in the Lone Star state. Despite our state getting ransacked by COVID at the moment and our county doubling up cases in a month, wife and I are playing it smart and safe. We are both healthy. I'm ~30 lbs down in weight. Almost not diabetic (Again) and just purchased a brand new car! I'll post some pictures in another post. Hope everyone here is doing well. Wife and I will be in the homeland late July. I don't foresee us meeting anyone here while this is all going on, just out of safety. But in the future, a meet up is a must! Stay safe y'all and get out and enjoy nature as much as you can. The summer season is upon us 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If not, just try to keep it as clean as possible and free of any obstructions. The temperatures are meant to be taken in a sunny area, but if the radiation shield isn't doing its job you could move it. Finally got some afternoon sun yesterday, and the cleaning seems to have done the trick (it was a mess inside the shield with all sorts of cobwebs). No more anomalous ~5 degree spikes.

Mrs.J Posted June 22, 2020 Share Posted June 22, 2020 Ok so for some reason did not realize it was supposed to feel tropical yesterday. But we got through it. Had a horse show with masks and staying socially distanced at the trailers. We’re allowed to go up ringside when the younger Miss J had her rounds. They had a mister fan set up so she stood her pony in front of it and got cooled off. She had a very good day despite the humidity. Finally showed us consistency between her jump rounds minus stopping her pony from doing her favorite line in the horse stride of 4 instead of 5. It is heading towards the in gate and has an oxer. Her favorite jump. The horse stride is ok as she will be trying to qualify for pony finals in KY next year and the ponies that do best have a horse stride to make the lines easy. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I hope your son and daughter will be OK after all that. Funny (that's funny strange, not funny ha-ha, as a teacher I had once used to say)...your mention of your 2 year old crawling into Lily's bed by the window reminded me of how my daughter used to ask if she could make a "floor-bed" in our room if she felt scared or when there were thunderstorms, or after a movie that made her sad, or after a bad dream...years ago when she was younger. Your son is asking some questions almost beyond his years...and I cannot blame you for not knowing exactly how to answer. How does one explain that to a 5 year old, really? I don't know if I could do it very well, honestly. It's not easy to explain to someone that young that sometimes, people just simply suck...or explain a long and not very pleasant history of events in this country. But he's got the right idea, simple as it may sound from someone his age...why would anyone be mean to those based on how they look? 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

My daughter has been taking riding lessons (and before that, summer camp sessions) at Meadowbrook Stables near Bethesda/Silver Spring. Really likes it! This summer they're allowing makeup classes for this past year (they were closed from March until now), so she's begun that again. And she's doing work there as an assistant to some of the half-day camp sessions too (that started up last week). She's a long way from jumping...right now her lessons have been walk/trot/canter. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am sure she will keep moving along. I know about Meadowbrook as the lady who announces at this farm, Sandstone in Millwood VA also did some announcing at Meadowbrook. I love horses and when my daughter started showing interest it just seemed the natural way to go. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
