We left my mother’s house at 2:00 p.m to drive the hubby to Logan Airport in Boston, MA. The president of his company; his direct boss, told him on Friday afternoon that he was leaving for Algeria Sunday night. This came as a surprise, not the destination but the timing, it seemed so soon after being hired. So he was a little nervous about the flight, the usual reasons; getting to the airport on time, what to bring, what clothes to bring and finally being in a foreign country that is surrounded by countries that have gone through turmoil and unrest. Honestly, I’m a little nervous about where he is going and I am going to miss him for the ten days he will be gone. It’s late and I’ll be writing more about it tomorrow.

Volunteering?

Donating My Time

Bake sale platter

No, not in the true sense of volunteerism such as helping at a homeless shelter or an old age home. I volunteer baking cookies, pies or caramels for a lot of Town events. That’s about it, I could do more, I know.

Cruisin’

Meridith on the Stairs in the Atrium of the Disney Dream Cruise Ship

We took a Disney cruise as a family in 1999, first doing the 3 days at Disney World and then embarking on the Disney cruise ship headed for Nassau, The Bahamas and Disney’s private island. It was nice, the kids loved it. The food was good and the activities available kept the kids occupied but I felt cramped and stifled being on a ship. There wasn’t any getting away from the surroundings, huge ocean and huge ship, small cabin and small bathroom. I wouldn’t do it again, I prefer being able to leave and have options.
