My favorite saying:

Shared pain is lessened Shared joy is multiplied

 
Another slippery morning...!

Yep, we got about 3 inches of snow overnight, and this morning it's freezing rain over the top of it! So, needless to say, it's pretty slippery out there this morning.

38 Days till Costa Rica!

On the anniversary vacation, Europe may be out as prices are quite high right now. We're looking however, at a cruise that has the following itenerary that we both love:

Other than St. Maarten and Barbados, we haven't been to the other islands before. I love iteneraries with lots of stops, and one day at sea on the end. Gives you a day to just relax after all that walking/discovering. This is also on a ship we've been on twice before, the Empress of the Seas. In my opinion, this would be a very, VERY romantic trip. She's coming around... we'll see how far today as I have to book soon because there's not many rooms remaining because it's a week where school's off.

To answer Curt's question in the comments yesterday, no, that's not the Vette I'd get. I'm getting a used one (I hope), between 2000 and 2002. Keep your fingers crossed!

Well, too much to do today to type here... here's the news not fit to print:
