Sparky, it was such a gift to meet you and hubster. I thank you so much for that gift.  Perhaps we will all meet up at your house next!
 
Others may disagree, but I am a believer that if the time isn't right...it isn't right. You know from your own experience what your triggers are and you've got a big nuclear one coming up. So I suggest taking the load of your mind and relax until you get through that, and then start thinking about quitting again.

We are back.  I had the great privilege of meeting some great quitters.  It started off meeting Sue and John and Sue's mother.  They are such a sweet couple.  So worth the drive there.  Then we went to Savannah for a few days then headed a little further South and had dinner with Rusty and her hubby.  She was everything I expected and more.  We had such a wonderful time with them.  I ate some good old Southern food too!!!  Can't say I live black eyed peas .  Then we went North and had lunch with MM, her daughter and hubby.  As she said no one got to far out of hand.  So enjoyed meeting her.  We both came to SSC about the same time.  Got lots of hugs and just to meet them all was so wonderful.
 
Our trip was long and at times the idiot drivers caused a lot of stress.  Let me tell you people out there; use your turning signals!!  Anyway everything was great although it was not the time to try and quit.  I will be resetting my quit date at a later time.  Who knows one day I may kill the demon and I may not.  With another stressful situation coming up in a couple weeks I am not even going to think about it for a while.  
 
It is good to be home and I hope they do come North, I would love to show them Omaha.
 
Keep the Quit

Had a lovely afternoon with Sparky and her sweet hubby!  As soon as my technologically dyslexic self can figure out how to load these pics, I will post them on FB.  Sparky and her hubby are such wonderful and sincere people and I truly adore them!
Okay, none of us got arrested and nobody had to post a bond.....I guess at our age "party hardy' means coffee--full strength!
Had an absolutely wonderful time and we are already talking about a road trip ourselves in the near future.  Watch out Nebraska, the Griswald's have nothing on us!
