Happy 30th Anniversary Martha and Tom. It just seems like yesterday that we were all decked out in our coral gowns and cream tuxedos slow stepping it down the aisle at your wedding. The styles have changed and we have aged somewhat but the heart is still alive with that thing called LOVE.
Martha and I ventured by Go train into Toronto and headed up to the ROM by subway to see the Dead Sea Scrolls. They were on display for all to see. We were impressed but were surprised that they were only small fragments on 8 cells. Thank goodness for multi media display boards and video clips or we really would not know what we were experiencing. The Vietnamese Lunch was great and shopping on Bloor Street Yorkville was an experience in itself. Exhausted we made our way home after a full day. We had fun the next morning applying the “Dead Sea Black Mud and Mineral Salt Mask” product that we bought. Now that is an experience you don’t want to miss!! Lots of pictures after the jump.

Oh to be young and have your own wheels. The kids seem to be conserving gas or working like crazy as I have not heard of any recent “Road Trips”. Steve was the first to get into the drivers seat of a 2005 Royal Blue Ford Escape. Laura over much anxiety put her trust and coin in a 2010 White Toyota Corolla. Nicole is bombing around off road in her 2005 Silver Nissan Xtera. May you all only drive as fast as your guardian angels can fly.
Finally, Peter got his wish. He was chosen Wednesday afternoon by the Pittsburgh Pirates with their 15th-round selection, 445th overall. Peter said, “I had my computer right next to me and every so often I would kind of glance at it. I was watching a movie and I glanced over and saw my name pop up right when I looked over. I just stared at the screen for a good 20 minutes.”
Peter knows that he has a long road ahead before potentially reaching baseball’s pinnacle. He’s been told he needs to get bigger and stronger than his current 6-foot-1, 180-pound frame and a few years in the minors before donning a big-league uniform.
We decided to start the Spring off right and get in a few rounds of early golf. We traded in our timeshare for a townhouse in the woods at a place 3hrs east of Dallas TX called Holly Lake Ranch. It was a gated community for Texans wishing to get away from the concrete jungle and head for the hills and the “cabin in the woods” experience. We were glad to have our Tomtom GPS to guide us on those dark country backroads. Our place was lovely and we were surprised that it had no highspeed or blackberry service. It was a true getaway for us.
Happy Birthday Martha. It is wonderful to be fifty five. I’m lovin’ it so far (15hrs so far so good). We are so lucky to have each other. What a great day it is!
It is a great day because we can both do a happy dance and raise our hands above our heads and sing “Freedom 55?. Retirement is grand.
Just checked the temperature and it said that it is 14?, sunny and clear. Hmm, should I rethink my packing and bring long sleeved instead of sleeveless? Lets see… maybe a little hoola hoop cardio exercising might heat us up a bit. A little fortification won’t hurt either. My bags are packed and I’m ready to go. See you on Sunday for Happy Hour
Today is a new day!!
Just look at that sunrise over the canal in your backyard at Key Colony Beach!!
I take my coffee black!!
The CNN just did a feature on the cold snap hitting Florida. Frozen Strawberries being harvested. What about the lemons and key Limes down your way in Key Colony Beach, Fla.? Mind you frozen strawberry margaritas sound mighty inviting.
“…your bags are packed and your ready to go, leavin’ in a Toyota Tundra, don’t know when we’ll be back again…” Have a great trip and enjoy the journey to Cocomo.
