 My beautiful daughter Lesley

Lesley and David got home about 8:30 this morning. The dog was absolutely thrilled. 

Then back to normal life. Standard Sunday stuff like laundry and bed changing. I’m more than willing to relinquish cooking and meal planning to the beautiful soul pictured above.  

This time next week I will be in a hotel in Tampa waiting to board my cruise ship on Monday. 


A carousel on a cruise ship - really

Sort of figured out how to add a photo. Not great but it’s there. Let me introduce Captain. 

 Okay day. Tomorrow ends my babysitting for Captain my daughter’s dog. I’ve decided I don’t think I could have a doggy of my own. I wake up now and until I touch him and know he is ok I have a minor panic attack. 

Panic or anxiety attacks are another reason I need to go home soon.  There are always people around me now but when I go back to West Virginia I will be spending countless hours by myself. Normally I enjoy quiet alone time but now I’m worrying about things like snakes. Tried to tell Bob about it this morning and he said maybe living in a camper in the woods wasn’t something somebody so afraid should do.  Since I’ve lived there for 10 years it was a really cruel thing to say. 

I do have a few things to look forward to. On February 28th I board my cruise that was “lifted and shifted” from last year because of COVID. Of coarse Catt and others were going too but Catt’s health won’t let her go now. Cancer I hate you!  Then my friend Penny is going to stop by for a couple days when she, her daughter and her grandchildren are in Florida to visit Universal and Harry Potter world. I haven’t seen her since 2017. 

Till tomorrow!

 Maybe I can commit to this blog again.  I really need to research how to do this. I’m absolutely sure I’m making it much harder than it has to be. 

I’m in Florida and have been since before Thanksgiving. This week I’m dog sitting while my daughter and her husband are on a cruise. 

Had hoped to insert a photo of Captain ( said aforementioned dog) but alas seems to be beyond my skill set. Lordy I’m an intelligent women who worked in IT how can Google and Apple be like two foreign countries and not speak to each other. 

Hopefully Amazon has a blogging for dummies book!  Better yet maybe I can download said book from the Library using Libby - that I know how to do.
