I'm glad to see Monica, Jackie and Pam made it safe and sound to London. Looks like you all enjoyed a nice tea together. I made it home to the "other" London about an hour ago. I've been up for 24 hrs now in my trek home All went well, just a very long day.

Hi to all Man that cruise went by quickly! I had a great time. I hope that someday I can return to Spain and Madiera.

You guys have been chatty in the past two weeks! Hope everyone is keeping well.

Good Night, I'm off to bed!

Welcome home Kathe! Glad you had a great time!

Welcome back Kathe.

glad to see everyone is where they are supposed to be.

We jsut got back from some friends' house where we went for our semi-regular Saturday night gaming session.

Played 2 games:

1) Beowulf: The Legend

A card management game that takes you through the epic story of Beowulf. But realistically, even though the game is fun, the mechanics of the game don't make you really feel like you are part of Beowulf's company. It's just about playing cards at opportune times. Shannon had a great play at the end of the game to win and become Beowulf's successor.

2) Homesteaders

A resource allocation game that makes it seem like you are back in the old west trying to build up property and gain victory points within a specified number of turns (10). We didn't complete this one, but as far as we did go I managed to win it, but I wasn't overly thrilled with the game. It wasn't bad - just not my first choice. I preferred the first game.

And that's it. Now we are back home and the girls are tucked into bed and in a few minutes I will be putting my head on my pillow. But just to keep Michelle happy, I thought I would pop in here and say good night to the North Americans, and good morning to our European family members!

Welcome back Kathe. Glad you had a great time and everything went well and you are home safe and well. Madeira is a very beautiful island isn't it? Hope you have a good night's sleep. Experience tells me you will be awake early.

Happy Sunday all!

I'm not working for the next 3 Sundays, very exciting for me.

Welcome back Kathe!

Cheri is here and being a sloth, still snoozing and it's nearly 9 am.

Yesterday I took Cheri to the camera store where I bought our new camera. This is a real camera store, not a Best Buy. It was a fun outing, even though I took a wrong turn and and we ended up pretty far from where I had intended.

Cheri got a really nice new camera bag. A sling bag which I thought was really well designed and even came with it's own raincoat to put over it for inclement weather.

I have a sling bag too, that I got from Case Logic on sale, though very similar I think I like the one Cheri got better.

A sling bag has the storage compartment for the camera on the side of the bag. Think of it sort of like half a backpack. The bag goes around you and over your back as a sling, when you want to take the camera out, you slide the bag back around in front of you, now the side compartment is instead facing up. Much better than a backpack which you can't slide around, not without the camera compartment sticking out to the side.

It holds an SLR with a zoom, and has compartments for additional lenses, batteries, cards, etc.

Both our sling bags are about the same size and weight, but I think Cheri's is designed a bit better.

Because of all of the business travelling I'm doing, Sukie and I had to pack yesterday for our vacation next weekend. We're nearly all packed, just some last minute things next Friday.

Last night Sukie went out and Cheri and I had a Disney Blu-Ray film festival. You have to remember this is a boy's house, so we're talking boy toys which means electronics and a sound system.

Unfortunately I leave late this afternoon to head back to NY. I'm there until Thursday. This is a very inopportune time to be travelling.

 

[EllaEnchanted]

Are Monica and Jackie flying home today?

I think tomorrow Marilyn. I remember Monica saying that she'll be home late on the 26th and back to work on the 27th.

I'm glad they were able to travel to London without any problems and hope that they get home easily too.

Hi Kathe, welcome back. Did you get your much deserved rest and relaxation? I hope so and can't wait to hear your stories all about it.

Ian, sorry you have to go back to NY again this week. How inconvenient. At least it's your last week before visiting the Mouse!!!

I'm glad you had some time to share with Cheri before taking off.

I hope your week goes by quickly and effortlessly and you get to our favorite place on earth to unwind and have fun!

It's a pretty dismal day around here....very cold, wet and miserable. I had to put the heat on. It's almost May....that's just not right.

John is barbequeing a marinated steak and some pork chops. I'm getting ready to eat, take Vicodin and go soak in epsom salt....then scrub the leg with iodine. The raging infection is gross and I have to clean it up to help it along. Next Monday I go see the plastic surgeon and see what he says. In the meantime I'm still taking Keflex as an antibiotic.

Hey, does anyone Skype out there??? John just downloaded it to our netbook because it has a camera and speakers. I'm going to add my nephew in Japan to my contacts so that we can talk while he's away. It's free to use which is great because you don't get a big phone bill. We can all Skype each other and visit and chat a bit.
