Yesterday was another expensive day. I recently received a bonus check for my efforts last year. We paid off some bills, pumped up the kids college funds and then decided to spend something on ourselves. Suzanne has been wanting an elliptical trainer of late and been doing a bunch of research. She says she wants […]
Ricky Bobby
Okay, that’s the main character’s name from Talladega Nights, a comedy about a Nascar driver. Wil Ferrell is the star. Based on the trailers, it did not look like a movie we would enjoy – not really our style of humor. Last night, the family got together to watch this movie. The family absolutely loved […]
Nice Arizona Weather
This is a great time of year here in Arizona. The weather is just fabulous. Last week and this week, the temperatures in Tucson have been in the mid-80’s. In Sonoita, that equates to about upper 70’s. It’s very nice and comfortable. I think the winter, what we get here in Arizona, is past. The […]
The Past Weekend
Whew, what a busy weekend – or at least it seemed like it. I thought I had finally put all of Suzanne’s vacation questions/issues to bed for the upcoming Alaskan cruise on the Celebrity Mercury. We booked our airfare, hotel and transfers to and from the cruise ship. We booked our excursions for the cruise. […]
Alaskan Cruise Excursions
We have decided upon our excursions for our upcoming cruise to Alaska on board the Celebrity Mercury – or at least most of them. The cruise is an eight day round trip cruise from Vancouver, so a bit shorter than we normally do, but Alaska is an expensive cruise and we will be cruising with […]
Showstopper Photos Uploaded
As detailed in a post yesterday, I have uploaded the images provided by Mr Will to my site from our recent trip to Phoenix for the Showstopper Dance Competition. There is not nearly as many pictures as Suzanne led me to believe, but obviously, he was more interested in taking them of his family than […]
Alaskan Cruise Airfare
Our cruise to Alaska on board the Celebrity Mercury is approaching fast. The cruise is in mid June of this year. Unfortunately, we still don’t have our air arrangements for the cruise. The cruise is round trip out of Vancouver. Air travel these days is unpleasant at best. I remember the days when air travel […]
Back To Normal
It’s time to get back to more normality tomorrow. It’s been a hectic start of the year at work. It culminated in the business trip last week. The kids and Suzanne also get back to normal with a regular dance week and a full week of school. We had a nice relaxing weekend and are […]
Back Home and Sean’s Spelling Bee
I got back home from my business trip yesterday evening. It was a long, hectic, but worthwhile week. The trip was to Florida and my hotel was right on the beach, but the weather didn’t really cooperate. It was very cloudy and a bit on the chilly side and even rained one day. Still, there […]
