Leaving on a jet plane......

.....very early tomorrow morning.
Bill and I are headed to Nevada. Will fly to Vegas, rent a car and then head to Laughlin for 5 nights.
We will be joining a group of CASE retirees. Then drive back to Vegas for 2 nights.
Never been to Laughlin, so a new adventure.
Hope Lady Luck will be on the trip with us!
This time I don't want to loose all my $$$ I will, instead, be thinking of all the baby things I could be purchasing with the cash!
Priorities change...........always.

Peace

One year at a Rotary event, the president of Rotary International said something that I will always remember. He said "if every teenager in the world were an exchange student, there would not be so many wars". He was correct, when you live in another country, you identify with the country and it's people.
I was reminded of that statement when watching the opening ceremonies of the Olympics last night. As the countries proudly marched in, I could put faces with so very many of those countries and once again the world felt like my family.
Wishing for peace in the world.

Now is a good time!

Well, I just noticed that it has been almost a year since I have updated this blog.
I think that now is the perfect time to write again.
In a few days, I turn 59 years old. I will then be in my 60th year!! How did this happen?
2010 will be a very wonderful and very interesting year. Bill and I will become grandparents!!
So, I promise to update and post photos.....I am sure you wouldn't expect anything else from me. If you know me at all.......you will know that you will never find a more proud grandmother!
So, as I am about to begin this 60th. year......I am thinking of baby showers and counting the days.
Oh, and some shopping in there too!!
