Getting Ready

So, we decide to go to San Antonio --as our city of the year for 2009, and it is one of the places where swine flu is rampant in the US--sheesh! Today show is going to be there too on one of the days that we plan to be there--that means that places we may want to be , like the Alamo wil be overrun.

And the road closures from the wildfires here in Mrytel Beach are wreaking havoc with the roads that go from our house to the airport--also fog problems.

I am thinking we should wear masks on the plane and there and Joe's sister agrees with me but whew! he does not.

I am also not so sure about the crowds expected in the mercado area for Cinco de Mayo --

and I need to also get ready for Egypt--I am excited but need to find a long sleeve thing that wil be light weight enoght to wear while we are there with everything I have in case I need to do so.

On Thursday we are going to Wilmington to pick up our sofa table--yikes I am in a whirlwind here.
I thought being retired would be calmer somehow

dreary day

On Saturday we made the decision to go shopping instead of visiting local gardens-Jennie needed a few items, there were sales and Monday forecast looked good. Now it is Monday and fifty degrees and cloudy--rain forecast for the afternoon--bummer.
We may still try the gardens but we may simply stay here and relax.
Ft. Fisher historic site is another option but invovles a lot of driving.
Looks like Jennie will face rain on her way back to DC tomorrow.

First Post

wow! This has been a busy day. Set up my post, and learned a lot about writing from friends in my critique group. They are a wonderful bunch of unselfish folk who work hard to help make everyone's writing better!
Then home to make dinner, and go to Holy Thursday services.
am in the process of getting ready to go to Egypt with my daughter in May--hubbie will stay home since he does not care to see the pyramids.
I have wanted go to Egypt since I was four years old!Will keep you appraised of that and what I am doing as a writer and a performer.
My goal is to encourage others--by pen and through performance.
