Girls Trip - Day 4 - Sea Day Relaxing and a Rescue

 With another Sea Day at hand, we're relaxing and taking it slow this morning.  Well, I was until I realized the ship had stopped.  As I was dressing, Kelly woke and asked the same question, "Why are we stopped?"  I replied that I was on my way to find out.  Up to the deck I went and discovered that we are meeting up with the Coast Guard from Cancun as we have a couple of people who need to depart due to a medical emergency.  Okay, that makes sense.  I take a picture of the Cancun shoreline to show how close we are, go back to the room to share info with Kelly, and then leave to meet Frieda for breakfast.  The ship is back to cruising.

Girls Trip - Day 3 - Sea Day and Sushi Class

 We are at sea and the only thing on the agenda for today is a sushi class that Gwen and I are taking later this morning.  For now, breakfast in the dining room.

Girls Trip - Day 2 - Galveston and Boarding Jubilee

 Good morning Y'all.  Not much sleep last night - most due to worry about Ryan but a teeny bit because I'm excited for today.  Ryan made it through the night and is being life-flighted today to Denver.  It's a good sign so far and it looks like maybe no surgery.  We'll know more later.

We have packed and re-packed, the car is loaded, shirts match and the girls are on their way.  Galveston, next stop.

Girls Trip - Day 1

 Ahh - the BEST way to kick of a new year?  A trip with the girls.  For sure, for sure.  I am soooo excited to get this one underway.  Kelly has made the supreme effort to drive four hours just to give little old me a ride today.  There are days when having only one car bites, and today is one of them.  She arrived last night and after some sleep, we are ready to drive (once again, out of the way - oh, poor Kelly) to Frieda's for the night.  Let's get this party on the road - some stops may happen along the way.

One Week Into 2024 - Back in Montana - Week 2

 Winter in Montana is always beautiful, but sometimes cold.  VERY cold.  This is my morning hello.  Now, in all fairness, it is much better than it has been --- check out the previous post - Brrrrr.

One Week Into 2024 - Back in Montana - Week 1

 January has arrived and, with that auspicious statement, we are off to Montana once again.  Two weeks with family and enjoying winter.  At least that is the plan.  Once again, we have a flight in the wee hours, so Mister is sleeping on the plane.  Seriously, we left the house at 3:15 this morning.  We are NOT typically mask-wearers while traveling, but there are two people coughing right behind us and we are off to see Mom, so don't want to risk hauling something fun up there.  Masks on --- let's do battle.

An Un-Christmas House - Peek Into Normal Life

 I've un-decorated the house today (rather unwillingly, I might add) and thought I'd share some pics of "normal life."  I've left some red around the house for Valentines, but other than that, it's pretty "normal".  I don't have the guest room finished yet, so no pics and I have a project all over the dining room, so it's not done yet either.  Other than that, here ya go:
