Both my daughter Melissa and I are back home.  We got in around 830pm on Thursday, 10/29/09.  It was a very long day, for us it started at 5am, our flight was due to leave Phoenix at 857am, but due to bad weather in other parts of the country, we didn't actually leave until 1pm. 

I updated my profile picture, that is my daughter Melissa, we are both standing in an old rock formation.  I will download more pictures in a couple of days!

Take care everyone.    Sweets

It is finally here!!!  I will be on vacation from 10/21 until 10/29.  My daughter Melissa and I are going to Arizona!  All my brothers, sisters and my Mom will be there and we are going to celebrate everyone's birthdays, yea, I know, way tooooo many candles,  OMG, I just hope the cake doesn't catch on fire LOL...

For those of you who didn't know, my Mom has had health problems since June, had a pace maker put in, surgery to remove a cancerous growth, and as recently as last week was in the in hospital for a blood clot.  She was sent home on Sunday, but will be on blood thinners, so this makes this trip even more special to me!

Yes, there will be tears when I get there, happiness in between and more tears when I leave, but I would gladly do it again in a heart beat!!!  I will take pictures and post them when I get back.

Until that time,  laugh, love and enjoy life, it is to short to waste on things that are of no importance!!!  Sweets

My daughters Melissa and Rachel had another craft faire on Sat.  It was called "The Witch's Faire", since Holloween is this month.  Everyone was dressed in costume, form fairies to outer space aliens, and I am sure they had their "green card" LOL.. 

Anyway, we had to set up by 5pm, the faire did not finish until 11pm, it was a long, fun and interesting evening.  It was a lovely evening, with just a bit of cool crispness that comes with the coming of Fall! 

My daughters did quite well selling their jewlery, but while they "manned" the store, I was free to walk around and enjoy the sights, sound and smells!  There was a "Gypsy" camp with crystal balls, palm readers and just beautiful colors! 

There were string lights everywhere, in every color, it almost made the evening seem "surreal", as if I was walking in another world, among people free to be whatever or whoever they wanted, hiding behind masks or face paint, and I in my jeans and sweater was the "outsider", the ordinary person, wondering, looking, almost feeling like a child, smiling at all the "monsters", "witches", and other beings I encountered!! 

Yes it was a long night, did not get to bed till well past my bedtime, but it was a wonderful, "other" world I will always remember, and hopefully, will attend again next year, maybe this time being someone or something, other than me in my jeans and sweater LOL...  Sweets            There are a couple more pictures on my profile....

In the travel business, you are always on the go,  no pun intended LOL 

This week I had to travel to Wildwood, NJ, a wonderful seaside resort, to meet about 35 senior citizens who are enjoying a "holiday" by the sea!!  This usually requires me to do a lot of running around,  ensuring everything is taken care! 

It truly is hard work, no time to relax and enjoy the wonderful weather, no time to put my feet up or sit by the pool!!!   

At least this is what I tell my Boss, but you be the judge of that LOL  :)
