Ahhhh.......soooo nice to have Jeremy and Anne-marie around the sticknbrick!!!!! They just are sooo relaxed and everyone just takes care of him/herself.....no need to entertain.
We did just that...hang out this morning, sitting on the patio having our coffee/tea and discussing any topic that morphed from another topic. As it became hotter...and as the sun slipped over the roofline, we decided to return to the a/c....and spent most of the time inside.
During the afternoon, of course, we watched the World Cup and saw the USA team lose to Ghana. Always hard to see them have their "last game", but we have enjoyed watching them play these games.
Jeremy and Anne-marie went over to the Osborn family' home.......Kessie and Chad Hinkle were there....and think they spent some time swimming in their pool. They returned back here and got ready to go to Farmington to have dinner at 12 West....where the 1st Lady and I ate this past Tuesday(remember the bad review I wrote?).
This afternoon and I am continuing this evening......the reading/researching/looking/note-taking for our trip to New Zealand sometime around March and April We would like to be gone for six weeks, but this will all depend on our budget and how well we can plan this trip. We do plan to rent a car for the time that we are there......soooo much to plan and research!!!! We are now discussing the possibility that we will NOT leave Misery for Jan and Feb, as we will try to save a few coins for this lengthy trip......still in the thinking stages this is, though!!!
Jeremy and Anne-marie are trying to convince all of us to spend Thanksgiving week in Puerto Rico. Sounds great to me....as they have been there several times and know some places to stay on the beach that will not break the bank. We'll see....we'll see......
They are going to hop over to Rome week after next for about 8 days. Anne-marie has not been to Italy, but I did take Jeremy over there with me the summer before his senior year in high school......so, he does remember the places he loved and would like to show her around. She is getting excited about going over there, well....both of them are getting excited about this little trip. I have been giving them pointers on what to visit and see....and how MUCH there is to do just in Rome, without going anywhere else. I have spent sooooooooooo much time in Rome, having been there 13 times over the last 30 years....and each time I go, I love it even more than the previous time!!!
And sooooo, our Saturday was a day like I said at the top of this little post......we just hung out here and made travel plans.....theirs, the 1st Lady's and mine, and then perhaps all of us if we do decide to take that short hop over to San Juan, Puerto Rico for Thanksgiving.
And sooooo, as always......
LIFE IS JUST REALLY, REALLY INCREDIBLY GREAT!!!!!.....And, I hope it is for all of you, also!!!!!
