I think I've been to all of the Smithsonians? My favorite is American History. Second would be Air & Space, I think. The Museum of the Bible is awesome. It is really well done.

KrissiK Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Since the Air and Space Museum is under renovation they require passes. So we aren't going there. I think we will go to the American History Museum. I love the Inaugural Ball Gown Exhibit. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Prayer request. Isaac has what we assume is an ear infection. He's on his way to urgent care now. He's in a lot of pain with a bad fever. As he puts it "Igaac! halp!" 1 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Slache Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 I think it's more holp than halp. It's pathetically cute. He just learned to say Igaac and yesterday he was running back and forth between his room and the living room yelling "Igaac! Gone! Igaac! Back! Igaac! Gone!" So cute. 4 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Slache Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 Is it like, wrong that we didn't figure this out until it ruptured? He was sick yesterday but not anymore than anyone else. Then last night he told me his ear hurt so I gave him Tylenol. This morning, weary of an ear infection I asked him about his ear and he said it didn't hurt. Then his fever was bad so I gave him a lukewarm bath and brought him to bed with me. It was then I noticed the ruptured eardrum and I asked him and he said it hurt and we took him. He's been saying he's sick all day, but he really didn't give an indication, but I feel like it must be very progressed and I should have noticed. While I typed this they got back. It was very quick. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Junie Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 (((Slache))) Don't beat yourself up over it. Sometimes we miss things, especially if the kiddo has a high pain tolerance. Years ago, one of my kids had appendicitis but we didn't catch it until his appendix ruptured. The doctor in the ER said that sometimes it just happens fast. 2 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Susan in TN Posted March 29, 2023 Share Posted March 29, 2023 I'm back from the window place and string quartet. So I went to the window showroom expecting that salespeople would be there to answer questions. They had some windows set up in an area in the middle of the offices (I guess that was the "showroom" part) but there was literally no one there. Except me. So I played around with the different windows for a bit and then left. It was weird. String quartet was nice. We went through the whole Grieg and then a shorter piece by Hugo Wolf and then a bit of a quartet by a French composer but we gave up and decided we would all go home and listen to it a few times and then give it another try. We ended with some Bach fugues which look so easy but we couldn't make it through any of them without stopping occasionally to regroup, lol. 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ellie Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Ok, now I have something to do for my friend. Her dh's funeral is Friday afternoon, with food served at the church afterwards. I can help set up everything while they're at the cemetery, so everything is all ready when they come back to the church. Also, she commented on a recipe that was shared on FB today; I can make that tomorrow and take it to her house. #winning 6 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Many years ago, I took my dc on a field trip to Virginia and NC, flying into and out of D.C. They were 18 and 21 yo. 🙂 We arrived on Palm Sunday and went home on Easter Sunday. We only had a day in DC, so we saw all the monuments, as well as the Holocaust Museum and one of the Smithsonians. The weather was beautiful, such that the cherry blossoms had already bloomed by the time we arrived, so we missed them. 😞 The rest of DC made up for it, though. 5 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The park ranger came flying out of the ranger station when he saw us coming. Juliet thought that was definitely axe murderer behavior so she gave a low warning boof. But then the park ranger magically produced ham treats and she decided that he was ok after all. Apparently axe murderers don’t carry ham treats. 4 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Susan in TN Posted March 30, 2023 Share Posted March 30, 2023 Good morning! I slept better last night even though my tummy was feeling a bit blah. Today is the last Bible Study for the year. They usually have a large group study over the summer. The Youngers are leaving for tutorial and Other Kids are going to classes and/or work. I think Pup's ear is bothering him again.

If all history could be taught like that. It's a civilian home in Gettysburg that was commandeered by the Confederates for 3 days. The interpreter was phenomenal. Her vocabulary was rich and the way she told the story... we were all eating out of the palm of her hamd. We got the story of the family, saw the bullet holes in the attic....it was just amazing.
