a new adventure

May 29 Wednesday 2013 The start of a new adventure – A European river cruise ,Amsterdam to Budapest. We are all packed and ready to go, quite excited as we have never been to Europe. We fly British airways to Hearthrow England with a 2-1/2 stopover. Then to Amsterdam where we spend a day in town before boarding MS Amadeus Princess- a long narrow river boat. We will spend 14 days travelling through 5 countries-Holland, Germany, Austria, Slovakia and Hungary on 5 rivers-Rhine, Main,and Danube. I hope to blog a long the way when I can.

REMEMBER-Life is not about being wealthy but being happy.

REMEMBER-It may be those who do most, dream most

living on the boat

May 19 Sunday 2013

We are spending the long weekend living on the boat. Busy sanding and painting all the outdoor teak. Sherri came down to help yesterday with Carter and Madison. I got a break with the kids. We all went to the White Spot for a reward. Sherri is coming to paint today. Gerry is taking the kids to playland for the day. Tomorrow is painting the second coat , Sherri is coming again while Gerry and I go with Carter and Madison to Maplewood farm.

REMEMBER-Getting older is the only way to live long. 

time flyies

May 16 Thursday 2013 where is the time going? Barely survived the babysitting as I got a sinus infection too so am on Penicillin. The cough is getting much better and so are my sinuses. Sherri and Gerry and the kids picked us up for family night at the aquarium. Jellyfish was the special. I for got the camera so no pictures. We are starting to get ready for our trip May 29-June 13. We had a meeting with Bill Good and met our fellow travellers. Looks like a good group. We have a 86 year old going too she sure looks good for her age I think she does a lot of travelling. We finally ordered a dinning room set

REMEMBER-many people never reach 80 because they waste time trying to stay 40.

baby sitting over

I couldn't get the bear video to work but the coyote one works now. I think I am just about over the cold I had, doing a lot of sleeping after baby siting Carter and Madison for 12 days. I am getting too old as they were into skating, swimming, gymnastics  and art classes as well as school 3 days a week. We did find time to bake cookies and build a dinosaur den. Sherri is taking me for a pedicure Sunday. Bill left me alone while he went to the boat and is starting to sand the boat for painting so I got my needed rest. Weather is sure holding up but is to change Sunday.
