I'm looking forward to it - a short completely different break .. on a golf course, by the north sea with some excellent friends ..<br /><br />After that I take stock for the future .. Life is running away though .. and I must remember to stop and smell the roses ..<br /><br />Cheers - HilaryHilary Melton-Butcherhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17596532480645510678noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148510738485459197.post-76723381848887849812012-07-10T00:35:44.426+00:002012-07-10T00:35:44.426+00:00Yvonne -- Maybe I'll plan my next A to Z theme...Yvonne -- Maybe I'll plan my next A to Z themes on my trip.<br /><br />Phil -- Thanks for the thoughts.<br /><br />Delores -- Sounds like you've got your hands full.<br /><br />Em-- I know, but I swear if I took things any slower I'd be dead.<br /><br />Jo -- Maybe I should celebrate both turkey days.

Just trying to find the house after leaving three men alone for 8 days. Finally have things under control enough that when my cleaning girl arrives in 45 minutes, she'll be able to find the floor and the counters...<br />As to vacations, I've done a week in VA with my brother, his wife and first baby. A week in TX with my "sister", we're such close friends, and the last week in July I leave for a week's cruise of the Alaskan Inside Passage with C for her 50th birthday. it's for me too, we share the same birthday, only I have three more years until 50. Talk about light speed...<br />Lee, enjoy your time off. I'll be babysitting the blog, and get some relaxation in. I found that on road trips it was nice to jot off a quick post of what happened that day. Of course, there was always the race between my mac and The Engineer's PC to see who got internet access first. He has NEVER won, and I've never had to go to the front desk for help, or had to give up. Go Apple!<br /><a href="http://kmdlifeisgood.blogspot.com/" rel="nofollow">Tina @ Life is Good</a><br /><a href="http://www.a-to-zchallenge.com/2012/05/post-to-z-road-trip-join-us.html" rel="nofollow">Post A-Z Road trip!</a>Tinahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08925730745204736744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148510738485459197.post-90095623268608080302012-07-09T15:55:15.619+00:002012-07-09T15:55:15.619+00:00yes i so agree--it is speeding along---enjoy your ...yes i so agree--it is speeding along---enjoy your travels--we hope to take a couple of days in the early off beach season--other than that, no plans really--just seems like extra church stuff :)Lynn Proctorhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16349867270815243053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7148510738485459197.post-83119038330483459552012-07-09T15:26:46.029+00:002012-07-09T15:26:46.029+00:00We're staying local but are saving for a trip ...We're staying local but are saving for a trip to Michigan/Ohio to see family, then a Disney Cruise later.
