Hi Penney!

I just signed on today after a call from Brownie. 

I'm so sorry to hear of your Mom's passing. It's hard to get used to losing your Mom... I still reach for the phone when there's something I know my mom would like to hear about and she's been gone for 2+ years.

So be nostalgic, it's good place to hang out.

How do we get people onto this site? Do we know who has e-mail addresses?

So what have you been up to?  I'd love it if you'd come to visit!

I think about you every time I fly through TX.  Now that I'm "retired" my daughter and son have figured out that I have time to babysit while they travel.  So, I've had a free trip to Disney World to help with my daughter's twins and got to hang out with 2 of my sisters who retired to FL in the process.  Also spent a week in Albuquerque with my son's 2 boys so they could go to a conference - that was one boring 6 hour drive on I-25.  Then my daughter flew me back to NYC in January so I could  stay with the kids while they went to Cancun on business.  I think I'm in the clear for a little while now.

So, Tom & I bought a new motorcycle (GoldWing) so that we can travel more extensively on the bike.  The old one was just too uncomfortable for long trips and everything out here is a long trip!  We're putting a trailer on the back to carry extra luggage and our bicycles!

I have also, at the tender age of 62, become certified as a scuba diver - believe that?  We're off to Cozumel in mid-March for some warmer water diving and to hopefully hone my skills(?).  Tom was my instructor so I got special attention but he felt really bad when he realized how blind I am.  I couldn't read my gauges other than by relative position of the needle.  So we ordered a prescriptive mask for me and I look forward to seeing fish as well as needles when we go to Mexico.

So let me hear from y'all!
