Well I had two things that threw me into a “Packing Panic” as we prepare for our trip to Rome and our Transatlantic cruise. First, I did a “try on and see what fits” with my son, and besides just a few recently purchased dress shirts and a few t-shirts, very little fit him. His […]

Well this week we got an e-mail from our apartment rental agency in Rome informing us that our reserved apartment had sustained internal damage (fire? water? they didn’t say) and was not currently available for occupancy.

Since our first family cruise in 2005, an annual cruise together has been a tradition. This year we are lucky enough to be able to take another cruise vacation.

Stormy is turning out to be a great dog. She is already house broken, getting along well with the older dog, and learing to be comfortable around all kinds of people. She is going on long walks every day, which tire her out, but she loves to stride right along SueEllen. She also likes to […]
