A whole lot of nothing.........

That about sums up the blog. Life is just good and normal and when you live in the Land of the Old, that is a very good thing. Knowing that most of your neighbors and local friends aren't going to around 10 or 20 years from now and that at the current rate of deaths and chronic conditions erupting, it could be sooner, life takes on a new perspective and a 'hurry-up and get on with the living already'....... While we are healthy, not wealthy and moderately wise at the moment, there is always that feeling of waiting for the' shoe to drop' sort of thing. (Isn't this an upbeat and positive beginning to the blog ??) Now if I can just remember where I was going with this train of thought......!! Anyhow, we are making some plans for travel to get us up off the couch and enjoying lovely days in this continuing gorgeous weather and glad not to have any drama floating around.

We brought the RV over and have been doing some spring cleaning and fixing and such. We would like to get out and about but 80% of all RV's in the country are currently camped in Florida and there is not a space to be had. We'll keep checking or we could head back to St George's Island on the Panhandle, where it is cooler and quieter.

The highlight of last week was having Becca around prior to her becoming a Cast Member at DisneyWorld. On move-in day, we loaded up the wagon to the top and headed to the huge complex of apartments. She will share a suite with 7 other girls (I can't imagine the bathroom scene in the mornings). They have fitness center, pools, walking/jogging trails and buses to get to their assignments. As soon as we pulled up and opened up the doors, 3 young men hopped over and offered to carry it all up the long flight of stairs. I was more thrilled than Becca (well, not quite...) . Being from Baltimore, they were full of Thank you's and Ma'ams and holding doors and graciousness. Their mother's would have been proud. They were a bit on the geeky side but ......remember what Bill Gates looked like? We offered them home baked treats and they quickly exchanged numbers for texting and ended up at an ice cream social that night together.....it is Disney after all !!
One kid refused the cookie as he'd "just brushed his teeth" !.. And note that the kid on the right seems to have dressed himself with the shorts inside out so that the pockets are on the outside.....? I told you they were a bit on the nerdy side but definitely worthy to be with my granddaughter.
She is settling in and pinching herself to make sure all this is real. We are delighted for her.

Went to see "We Bought a Zoo" with Becca last week. Cute, not totally what I expected but the little girl is worth the price of admission....what a face ! There are some interesting movies out right now ..... "The Artist" in particular I'd like to see.

Paul's been busy in the sims in Miami and heads to JFK for more training next week. And soon, we will head north to Andy and Mason country for a week or so.....hope the snow stops before then.
Enough of this nothingness......I just like hearing myself talk sometimes.............

  1. My friend and I 'hit' the market place yesterday. Very nice vendor show...pricey to get in but it was a nice day. perfect amount of vendors so you could see them all. Yes, I did spend some $$'s but not much. Did find my Radiance fabric and black cotton sateen so I was a happy camper!
