Hi,
life has been busy lately so I've neglected my blog spot. I shall repent and promise to write more often as my New Year resolution.... and you know how those usually end up.
Marshall's family gathered at our house last weekend. It was the annual get-together and I think it went well. The food was mostly gone by the end of the afternoon and everyone seemed to leave with a smile on their face. Parting gifts are a big part of that.
My brother, Eric, sister-in-law, Sherry, and niece, Jessica arrived on Friday from Toronto after a 9 hour drive. They spent Saturday in New York City with a private tour guide, Marshalls' brother, Scott. He was also here Friday and volunteered to take my family up to the city and show them around for the day. They had a great time with Scott, he did a wonderful job showing Jessica the high lights. It was her first trip to NYC and she loved it. I think her favorite part was getting her picture taken on the steps of the court house where Law & Order is filmed. The Chinese food for lunch was also a big hit. They took the train back to Yardley after 6 hours of walking New York.... and slept well that night.
Marshall & I leave on our cruise vacation tomorrow and not a moment too soon. Yardley is in the midst of a snow storm right now. We have already shovelled the drive way twice in the last 4 hours and it is still snowing. Our cruise leaves out of Baltimore, a 3 hour drive on a good day, so we are planning to head out early tomorrow and hope that the highway is cleared off by then. I do not want to miss our ship. I am more than ready for a vacation where I will not have to cook or clean for 12 days. Hallelujah!
Eric and family are heading to Sherry's brother in Cherry Hill, NJ tomorrow and hanging there for the rest of the week. It feels like grand central station here with everyone coming & going, suit cases all over the place, scheduals to organize. I can't wait to hit the ship, ditch my watch and have my only worry be "what shall I wear to dinner tonight?" We get to celebrate New Years Eve on the ship and it will be first time I haven't made a gathering event for bringing in the New Year in decades. Let someone else have all the work for a change. I may learn to like the Life of Riley... who knows?
This will be my final post for 2010. Thank you for playing along and being loyal readers. I hope to see you all on my page again next year.
Peace, Love and Health for 2011........... I'd settle for a quiet year if nothing else.
