We were on the 35th floor. Nice. We got massages the first evening and crashed from 6 pm to 7am...waking to room service. So nice.

On line for Ariel.

The Big Apple

Jen and I are off to NYC. The weather forecast is hot, hot, hot. But we will be inside a lot so that's okay. We will se the Little Mermaid on Saturday. Can't wait. Photos later.

Back from Vacation...Traveling Band of Waxes!

So, we are back from our lovely vacation. The weather in Alabama and Mississippi was so nice. The temperature was in the mid 80's most days and not at all humid, which is much different from how it normally is. The condo at Orange Beach, AL was fabulous! I'll never forget the first walk in and how the condo seemed to go on forever. We had so much room and enjoyed the beautiful kitchen and the deck overlooking the waterway was gorgeous.

Despite a few squabbles, it was all in all, a great bonding family time. I just love my family! The teenagers drove their own car and the rest of us rode in the other car. That may have helped a lot as far as getting along. We took our time, spent the night on the road in every Holiday Inn Express we could find. We visited family and took in a mall outside of Atlanta. I'm sad it's over.

The Bella Luna, OB AL

The Gulf...with a knee.

Eating out just over the line in Florida!

Look at all the freckles between the two of us!

Then we drove to Brandon where we visited my parents...and their bird...

Papa made the boys dreamcatchers...here they are doing their job...

Grandmama Visit

My Life is Good Boys!

Jeanette and Tim...23 years and counting. Love my man!

Random thoughts I gotta get out...

Vista sucks! Hate it-yes I do!
Orange Beach-Will it suck? I wonder?
Geckos-will they die? I hope not.
Mother-is she crazy? yes
Will I become like her? God, I hope not!
Wishing I had more time to:
~Read
~Knit
~Craft
~Sew
If I cut out the TV I would have more time for these things. Why don't I? I have no idea. Laziness & stupidity.
NY will be fun I hope. Westin Times Square and Little Mermaid Matinee COOLNESS!

Will J want to see K?
Probably.
Wish it was a weekday so we could see Regis & Kelly...maybe another time.

King Tut Wrappers!

At the Egyptian Bazaar John and his buddies were "wrapping" about King Tut and his life. It was pretty cool.

Michael and his friend ran the Jingo table.

The cool thing is both boys are going to either be on the television or in the newspaper. Will post about that later.

 

all my chicks are home
