Mini Vacation to Waiheke Island

I’ve got my work schedule for the next few weeks, and the great news is that I have a couple of days off during Chris’ university’s mid-semester break.  Soooooo… I decided to plan a mini-vacation!  It’s time we did a bit more exploring in our new country, don’t you think?  I do! So, where are [...]

More Fun in St. Thomas

I never win anything.  Well, I take that back.  I’ve won 1 or 2 giveaways, but when it comes to live drawings, I usually don’t win.  That changed on Monday night at our resort’s poolside raffle.  There was a grand prize, and I won! They called 2 other names before they got to mine, but [...]

Chicago!

First off, let me say that when it comes to taking photographs, I’m terrible.  I either forget to take them, or when I do take them I grow impatient.  I’m excited to sign up for some photography classes once we move to New Zealand.  Hopefully, I’ll learn how to do a much better job than [...]

Chicago in February

Oh, the life of a rambling college professor.  Chris has already been to several conferences since December: New York once, New York again, and now Chicago. Well, he’s not going to have all the fun without me!  I’m planning to tag along to Chicago this time.  It’s one of my favorite cities, and even though [...]

New York New York! It’s a Wonderful Town!

We leave tonight for our New York mini-vacation, and I’m so excited! I’ve been singing the “New York, New York!” song all day today and yesterday, and I had to leave you with this classic scene starring Gene Kelly and Frank Sinatra from “On the Town”. It’s so upbeat and fun and just makes me [...]

Marco Island Vacation Summary!

Hello my lovely readers :-) I’m back, and raring to go! I had a wonderful time in Florida and loved seeing all of my family. I am a little bummed about the weather in Massachusetts right now – highs of 60 degrees and rainy all week – blech. It’s the end of June – shouldn’t [...]

Myers, then swung back and picked up my SIL, Nicki, who was flying in from Chicago. The three of us headed south to California Pizza Kitchen, picked up a couple of [...]

So Much To Do

So we’re leaving for the airport tomorrow morning at 10:30 for our week-long vacation, and I am not ready AT ALL! I have done no packing, no ironing (yes, I do have some stuff that needs to be ironed), I need to clean the house, sew up a torn seam in one of the shirts [...]
