Hi Barbara...Yes, I never left Texas, however, my husband is a "Yankee"!!  He's from Barrington, Illinois, a beautiful little town 40 miles northwest of Chicago.  We still visit his Mom and Dad (89 and 91), and brother once a year.  You look wonderful, and I'm still in shock over reading you have 12 grandchildren!!!  Have a wonderful cruise and an even better Birthday tomorrow!!  And, yeah....we're getting old!  We'll visit more when you get back.

Barbara...I am reading the Tony Hillerman detective series with Detectives Leaphorn on Jim Chee on the Navaho reservations in Utah, Arizona and New Mexico.  The beautiful mountains and landscapes he describes have me to ally fascinated and I plan to go on a road trip to visit these areas when I retire.
