Taking a "Vacation"

Going to Phoenix, Arizona Wednesday morning to spend some time with a high school friend and then to Tuscon to have some fun with Joanna, Peter and Joanna's sister.

Coming back Monday and quickly regrouping before heading to Ohio to meet up with my sister (!) and have a family reunion at my parents' new home with my brother and his wonderful family. Will be back with pictures of all.

John is providing airport transportation and Dave is staying here while I'm gone to take care of the cats and the mail (as well as help clean out my refrigerator and do his laundry).

Yolande (my friend from Santa Cruz, CA) is arriving 11/22 and staying until 12/1. We get to share Thanksgiving and the boys' birthdays together. I can't wait to share my new home, the beach, Airlie Gardens, and so much more with her.

And NJ friends... mark your calendars. I will be in NJ 12/10 to 12/19. YEAH!!!
