Cruise Get-away
I needed some rest and relaxation after a stint in Baltimore helping my parents. We opted for a 5 day cruise on the Carnival Destiny. We finally used the Carnival Family and Friends list to get a great deal on a balcony cabin. I was more interested in relaxing so I didn’t even get off…

Anniversary
Where did the 29 years go? We celebrate another anniversary on January 16. It is great to be married to a man who supports my passions and hobbies and has an enthusiasm for travel, books, and politics like I do.
