Vacation is Over?

We just returned from a most relaxing week in Cancun. We were 6 people this year - 6people who NEEDED a vacation!

What is there to say? The weather was hot during the day and cool at night. The grounds were manicured, the rooms were spotless. The food was good and the staff was happy to please us. The shopping was fun and fruitful (yes, Guga finally found a piece of jewelry that she loved!)

We came home nicely tanned and fully rested. Mr. W. went for his daily walks along the beach and took over 200 pictures of SCENERY. There might have been a couple of pictures of people...

Most importantly, the company was great - we were 3 couples, different ages, different walks of life. It's amazing how we sat togeter day after day and did not run out of things to talk about!

Special thanks to my cousin (The Matriarch) who did all the research and made the arrangements. So, Cuz, where we going next year??

Who knew?

The following was written by a "ghost writer" - some of you know him as "Anonymous"

"Who knew I would have to drive into Brookaleen for a wake on my birthday?

Who knew Mr. Wonderful would watch another man make me cry and just stand there?

Who knew I would not have to sit around for a couple of hours with old Italians dressed in black?

Who knew I would find a nice restaurant and have a good dinner with a few loved ones?

Who knew the rice balls would be so delicious?

Who knew I would laugh until I had tears?

Who knew old memories and fun times could be so fresh?

Who knew all these things would have made it a wonderful birthday anyway?

That “WHO” sure is a smart guy!"




Thank you, to a very special cousin.
