We are not so happy in our household…
No, we still like each other… It’s that we have been inside… and been with each other way too much!…
This cold… snow… has to give us a break soon!…
I’ve had enough TV… enough eating and snacking… enough reading… enough computer… enough talking on the phone…
ENOUGH all ready!
I want fresh air… sunshine and warm temps!…
No more coats… scarves… gloves…warming up the car…
Our heating bill is probably going to go through the ceiling…
I see it all over Facebook…
wanting to wear sandals, shorts, T-shirts and feel the sand between our toes again as we head to the beach!…
Vacations are being talked…
Let’s go here…
Let’s go there…
Oh, yes… I’m ready!…
Now, to really start planning on where… when and how…
Where do we really want to go…
When would be the best time…
and how much is this excursion (vacation) going to cost…
I’ve had a lot of requests… from several people on “let’s go somewhere!”…
Since we all are thinking the same way…
I have a solution! 
We’ll all get together and decide on one place… and go!… Splitting the cost… we’ll be able to go where we want and have so much fun!…
Maybe ” Old Man Winter“… 
is giving me (us) time to get it all straightened out!…
Will it be the beach???
Will it be the mountains???
Will it be a short distance???
Will it be far away???
All I know!… is that I’ll be there!
