Cruisin'














Yup, we had a great time on the cruise. Yup, we will be going again in the next couple of years. It was great fun and great food and just look at the colors of the water. Those blues and greens are real! With the invention of print shop I thought those colors didn't really exist.
My adventurous side came out and I did a few new things like I snorkeled. Sorry no pictures of that since we took them on a water camera. I ate escargo (but once is enough), I played blackjack, I ate liver pate (much better than I thought), I climbed up a waterfall in Jamica, I kissed a dolphin, almost kissed a sea turtle but he was skiddish, and I rode on an air boat in the FL Everglades. You are probably wondering if I knitted at all, NOPE, not once. That's a sign of a great vacation!

Buy this house?



Help I am in overload! Going on a cruise this weekend, haven't packed a darn thing and right now don't know where my passport is. Hope I didn't pack it away. We are also putting our house up for sale. The market is saturated with houses right now so ours has to be picture perfect. Sounds like a challenge to me. Just take a look at these pictures - not making much progress as you can see. CRAP CRAP CRAP everywhere I look. Now I must confess that I thought of myself as a pretty organized, clean person but no, I am far from it. We took two loads of crap to AMvets. Good useable crap but crap none the less. And that was only from both boys rooms and my craft room. Ouch, I am a fraud. ALso I have a little word of wisdom to pass along. Do not ever, no matter what the trends are, ever, ever paint a room a dark color. I spent all day yesterday painting over grass green and sunshine yellow walls in my boys bathroom. It took 3 coats of Princess Ivory to cover the green walls. And I am so sore I can't wait for the cruise, I just might sleep the whole time.
Also can you even see the house? NO, because at the same time as the selling of the house, and getting ready to cruise, Rob is also trying to sell the camper. I say Rob is because I would just sell it to a camper dealership place and be done with it. He put an ad in the newspaper and we have had calls but no buyers. Anyone want a house with a camper in the driveway?????
