Pre-Vacation Cruise

Well the cruise is not just 11 days away and next Saturday Beans goes to the Vet to stay while we are gone I hope he will be alright since he is not used to being without me for long periods of time this is his first time in the kennel so I hope he behaves himself. He has all his shots and Kennel cough one too, so it will be a eye opening experience for him. I on the other hand need this vacation like nobodys business. My Dad is still in the nursing home and having a knee replacement on March 1st. That is as soon as we could get him in his Doc is very popular
it seems. The new tax bill came the revised one that is and it is better than the old one down by 2500.00 so that was worth doing I dont think however the Bartens will be happy since while he was here he reassessed that one as well. So hopefully theirs was not to bad either. Started to really pack today and well trying to not bring to much so I can buy some there. What a thought but I always seem to find something there to buy. It is hard to know how much to bring and what since we are coming from a cold climate to a warm We always ditch the coats after half way there we are driving because we just dont want to hassle with the plane airport stuff and that way you can bring more back again another brilliant thought. Also got my first cold/resp thing this winter well at least once a year got on Friday stayed home sick and it is sunday feeling alittle better but it is still hanging on so hope it exits soon. My great niece is now 3 months old and growing like crazy such a cutie. Well that is all for now will return later post cruise. It will almost be spring then.
