Best of Luck to you daughter, JoAnn, on a safe trip.

We're just hanging out on NYE and watching the ball drop in Times Square. We get a better view of it on TV than if we went into NYC!

Happy New Year Guys

I HOPE 2008 is a great year for you all.

I have just booked a holiday today. I am going to Tunisia with my mam in 6 weeks. I'm quite excited. Off to do some reading up as I've never been there before.

Hi everyone,

Happy New Year!

I'm sorry I haven't been on line, it's been crazy around here.

We told the kids about the Feb. cruise and they are quite excited. It's 8 degrees outside so going to FL sounds even better right now.

There are too many pages to go back and read, I've just scanned through so my apologies if I've missed anything.

JoAnn, I'm sure your daughter is excited but how are you holding up with her going so far away?

Harole Ann, I'm sorry to hear about Garry, You must have been so scared. Is he doing any better? Did you go to your daughter's after Christmas?

MaryAnn, We'd love to go on the cruise in 2009 but right now we have a Royal Caribbean Cruise booked for April '09, I don't think we'll be able to do both.

Anna, It sounds like Gaspare is on the mend, I do hope he continues to improve. You've had a difficult year I pray next year is better.

Helen, Tunisia sounds great. I'd love to go on vacation with my Mom. WE go out to the TAJ (formerly the Ritz Carleton) hotel for Tea about 4 times per year and love it so having an extended amount of time with her would be wonderful.

It sounds like those who got together in December had a great time. We were away for our anniversary that weekend and had a relaxing time.

Well, I have to run the house hasn't been cleaned since November and it's already 12:30 and I haven't even started.

Again, Happy New Year

Sandra

Wow, what wonderful summary!!!!!!!!!!!!! Nice to hear from you!

I am not sad about Tara leaving, I know she is having a great experience. When she signed on for the Miami Ad school program, I knew it was a two-year commitment. She was in Florida for 15 months (b/c she took off the summer session for our Med cruise) and now she's in Europe for possibly 6 months. I got really sad at Thxgiving, so now we're visiting her in Hamburg for Easter week. Starting in July, she'll hopefully be in NYC , then possibly one more quarter away, and then employment??????? I rather she did this then say, backpack thru Europe?.............

Thx again for your notes to all, I would like to agreed with everything that Sandra said!!!

WTG, Helen! (Where's that??) My oldest just arrived in Germany today! She's doing well and I'm looking forward to more updates! Hope all are well!

JoAnne -

that's great news that your daughter arrived in Germany safe and sound. Keep us updated.

Have a great time with your mam in Tunisia. We want details.

Hi Sandra,

Nice to hear from you and glad all is well. Have a great time on your cruise next month.

It's just as cold here - but should be back up to 58 degrees by Tuesday - this weather is crazy. I do hate the cold.

DH better everyday - off coaumidin and insulin shots.

 

[jlawall]

Thx for all the updates, Anna...................I haven't heard directly from Germany but I'm optimistic......................

 

[Pixie Dust II]

Happy New Year, everyone!

Anna, I am so glad things are going well.

Helen---hope you have a wonderful vacation and I know you are ready for one!

Sandra, I can only imagine how excited your house must have been when your children found out about the cruise, but I bet Gerry was as excited as they were!

JoAnn, I know you are anxious to hear from Germany!

Maryann, you are so right, now we have to say, "last year about our wonderful cruise!


Garry is still hurting and is most dissatisfied that he does not feel as good as he wants too. Right now I worry more about him being depressed and this is such an ugly time of year because you can't really get outside to walk around.

We did go to our daughter's after Christmas and it was wonderful because one of their gifts was four days at Disney before the cruise. I think they were as excited as Sandra & Gerry's children. They have started to plan already!

Here's wishing everyone a happy and healthy new year!

I will let you know how things turn out after our trip to the doctor in Pittsburgh on Tuesday!

HAPPY NEW YEAR ALL​

Best wishes to all who are "under the weather" at this time. (I feel alittle sick myself today )

Tara's blog is: mostlikelyarant.blogspot.com

Check it out if you want to read about her life in Hamburg! We're visiting and guess what??? I just found out there's a Hamburg Starbucks!!!

Hi, we are excited about the cruise. We're flying on 2/14 THursday in case of bad weather we want to be sure we'll make it so we'll be in Orlando on Friday before the cruise.
I'm not sure if we'll get to WDW. I'd like to but it is expensive for just one day. We had Gerry's cousins stay with us for Gerry's grandmother's funeral and they live near Orlando so we are planning on getting together with them at some point. I had not met them but we had a great time while they stayed with us.

The disboards group for our cruise is not active at all which is kind of disappointing especially after being part of this group. I'm trying to get in touch with someone for Lilly to connect with prior to the cruise but so far no success.

Right now I'm getting ready for a colonoscopy, yuck! My dad had colon cancer so it's important for me to go but I have trouble with anesthesia so it has to be done in the hospital with general anesthesia. They are bad enough without adding 3 days of low fiber diet and then clear liquids and I won't even go into the last preparation. It's not until Tuesday and I'm miserable already.

Having the cruise to look forward to and make plans for is keeping my mind off things for now. I'll be glad when Wednesday comes.

Lilly's basketball team is going to the Boston Celtics game on Wednesday and will be playing a scrimmage game on the court during the half time. Then they will get a DVD of the game and the scrimmage. They are so excited, it's a great opportunity. I'll let you know how it goes. Gerry is the coach so he's going too.
