Romeo and I drove to Texas for Thanksgiving. The drive sucked, but 14 hours later, we were there! We did go to the wrong house the first time (I swear they all look so much alike). When I noticed there was no keypad, we went back to the car to search again.
We stayed in my oldest sons house while they were in Boston. It was nice to be there rather than a hotel. So, I did meet my future daughter in law, and she is so sweet. We had a wonderful day. The only food that was sort of a disaster was the green bean casserole my youngest son (see above) brought. He made it in a crock pot which didn't work out very well....but everything else was great! Rae loved the dogs as you see....and Zoė gave her seal of approval!
The drive home was uneventful, and thanks to a different route, it was over an hour quicker. It's always so good to be home again.
I started work this past Tuesday. At first I felt so lost! Nothing much has changed, but there were a few things. By the end of Thursday I felt like I was back on track. I was pleasantly surprised to see they purchased a new phone system, since the old one was crap. However, I don't like how the new one works. I'll probably get used to it after another week.
I decided to work to earn $$ for a European travel trip, and as it turns out, Go Ahead Tours had a cyber Monday sale which ended today.....but I made my reservation for a trip to Greece in time to take advantage. I am so excited! It is a 14 day trip to Athens, Santorini and Crete. I am so excited!! Oh, I said that already :-)
Now all I have to do is get through the next 3 months. I've only worked 3 days and now remember how happy I was to retire. 8 to 5 is tough when you've been retired for 3 years.
I hope all of you had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
Love, 365
My Mrs. C made a similar trip to Greece with her sister last year...she still raves about it. Me...I don't leave the USA...The Caribbean is an exception.
ReplyDeleteWell, yeah, Romeo doesn't like travel that much unless it's something we can drive to. I wish he would go though.
Delete14 days in Greece, that's awesome. We lived in Crete for 3 years. It's an amazing island. Has loads of history. If you're in Athens you will be possibly doing the 1 day, 3 island cruise. Poros is one of the islands. The boat stays for 1 or 2 hours. Keep in touch!
ReplyDeleteI will! That would be fantastic. I am beyond excited to go!
