Himself: Swam, went to a fiftieth birthday party, applied for jobs, went to the ladies poetry group and said what he was thinking, brought marvelous and fragile GH home in Grumpy….that was interesting and now we have to take a little Edwardian stool back to Marion B’s. Then he cleaned house and had coffee and delightful conversation with the P2’s, dinner, and played games. I mean, what more could a man want. Herself: Ditto. I did manage to read a poem about Christmas. No games here, and my beard isn’t thickening either. But it was a good day. Reading: The newest Spenser. It’s very good. Almost as good as the early ones were. Balance: Sitting at home reading the new Parker. |

Can't wait to hear about it all. Love your cruise posts. Do you think there will be internet? Sure hope so. Quite a list, is it an extension of one you have already made, or do you make one up each time? I've never been a list maker, actually, I tend to take anything that is clean (hee!), but it is an interesting concept.
ReplyDeleteThat's a lot of stuff! But a very good list of necessary items. I may have to use it when we go to India next year. You're far more organized than I!
ReplyDeleteWooHAH! What a lovely holiday adventure. Travel safely, have a wonderful time and take lots and lots of pictures.
ReplyDeleteNot using the internet this time. We are doing this run away holiday on the cheep. We are taking the laptop, and we will doccument the ship thoroly and can download the images. The cost of internet is too expensive for us this trip, so we will write when we get home.
ReplyDeleteI love lists they make me feel organized and in control of the situation. I made a list of cooking times for Thanksgiving so everything would come out and go in on time :)
