Happy Memorial day! Well, it has been almost a year since I updated my profile so here we go! This summer is already cranking up to be a warm one. Today is 93 degrees with heavy humidity and a forecast for a summer storm this afternoon. We survived the winter of 2009-2010 intact and loved almost every minute of it. We had a wonderful white Christmas with about 15 inches of the fluffy stuff and it was picture perfect. In January, we went for a week in Cancun, and missed the first few days of "Snowmageddon" because we couldn't get home. All the airports were closed but we did return at midnight on Sunday, to a parking lot full of cars surrounded by 25 inches of snow. Well, one of my favorite friends went to Dulles airport and dug out the car and had it ready for us to make our way home! What a gift! As I mentioned in our last chat, Cliff and I celebrated our thirtieth wedding anniversary with a Mediterranean cruise. We saw ports in 12 days and had the time of our lives. I especially loved the Vatican and the Amalfi coast in Italy but every minute of the trip was breath-taking. There are lots of photos posted on my site on FaceBook.
