Still busy but alive!

I need to post a quick note to let my faithful readers know that I am alive but still busy. My work was closed today for Martin Luther King day so I thought I would get a lot done. However, we felt we needed to attend the funeral of our daughter-in-law, Melody's, uncle. Since their family was very close we knew Uncle Bob too since he was at many family functions and lived across the street from Jon and Mel. David and I did get our Christmas decorations put away plus I sorted through all my clothes to pack for my cruise! Yes, I am leaving this Saturday with my sister Donna. We fly to Ft. Lauderdale, FL and catch our ship on Sunday traveling to Key West, Cozumel, Mexico; George Town, Grand Cayman; Montego Bay, Jamaica; and then back to Florida on Feb. 2. We have much pre-reading and planning to do so that has kept me busy plus making sure my work was done. It is weird packing summer things when we are having such a cold spell. I keep wanting to pack lots of sweaters and socks. So will close this for now but will try to post some pictures of our island adventures soon after I get back.
