Another cruise...


Another cruise is in the works...looks like we'll be heading to Venice at the end of the month. Surely this swine flu craziness will be settled down by then...surely.

Of course it is bad timing for some pretty important family events--Scooter's first birthday; Miss A's 11th; dance recital for three of our girls. Sigh. What's a gal gonna do? Shop and bring back some neat *stuff* probably! And take lots of pictures and bring back memories to share. And work on the family cruise for October for sure.
And, of course, it is bad timing for our economy. But........Life is short...make fun of it! Ciao, y'all!

I'd be willing to go on the cruise in your place... You know, if it would help you out so you wouldn't miss out on grandbaby birthdays and such. Just Saying.

Joy said...

Maybe I can go to the dance recital in your place! (And I think it's Miss A's 10th birthday, you had me a little confused there...which is not hard to do!) Sounds like fun!

Traveling Bells said...

Barb, you are a trooper...Dick would probably take you up on that offer!

Joy, Other Half of Wonder Woman, thanks for proofing my message. I went back and fixed the correct birthday girl! :-) If you don't go to the recital, you can come over and watch it with us on CD...

wow, I want to go to Venice, can it be done without flying.

Traveling Bells said...

Of course, Sarge! It involves TWO transatlantic crossings, however! Hey, that's not a bad idea!!!

What Empress Bee asked. Good for you. Life is short, so enjoy every moment.

Have a terrific day honey. Big hug. :)

Joy said...

Actually I enjoyed the dance recital last year and would love to go "stand in" for you if I can!

So I guess Alaska's out! LOL

A w/be 11 ladies!!! I know, it's hard to believe how time flies.

Traveling Bells said...

Banging my head on the keyboard...
yes, Miss A will be 11. She is 10 now. I think I can now remember that.

Joy said...

Well, I know the "11" part, too, just got too focused on which kid and not which birthday! I think it takes ALL of us to keep things straight! :-)

Wahooooo! I think you guys are on the horns of a dilemma! I think you've got a good idea, though. Gifts are always nice!
