Well, I'm home and had a fabulous time in NYC, Atlantic City and Hershey, PA.  We really lucked out and had good weather for almost all of our stops.  I'm not going to bore you with all 300some pictures, but here's a few of my favorites.

Got back home around 9:30 this morning, did a couple loads of laundry and Jim wanted to take me out for lunch.  After we ate we stopped at a nearby antique store.  When I saw this I thought, yup that's just how I feel today.

I just started going through my pictures, so it'll be a few days until I get them all edited and uploaded.  It was a fun trip, great weather, met lots of really nice people and saw some awesome sites.

A nice day for a walk at Rocky Run.

See that red dot? That's approximately where our cabin is located. I sure hope this prediction is wrong!  Spring will never arrive at this rate, the 7 feet of frost will never come out of the ground and it will be the Fourth of July before we can plant a garden!  Winter, please go away!!!!!!

Wow, where did that week go?  I've got to say the days go by so fast, now that I'm feeling better again.  It's so much fun going shopping and browsing without thinking about how much pain I'm in.  We've been out walking again, although my physical therapist advised me not to go too often or too far yet.  She wants me to gradually work up to walking every day.  Right now I'm able to go about a mile but only five times a week.  

We've been going around to some of our favorite antique stores.   I always look for old Christmas and greeting cards and I scored a box full for $3.50 on Friday.  I won't buy individual cards, it's got to be a bunch of them for not a lot of money.  This box fit the bill with 90 cards in it!

We're still holding off on going to the cabin.  On Friday I saw there's still 17" of snow on the ground.  No reason to rush up there and then think why did we come here?  That and in just over a week I'll be off on my first travel adventure of the year.  I'm so excited about another year of traveling with my friend Betty.  We have so much fun together.  We may even add another trip in August taking us to Canada again. That would be three years in a row and the first one for me without being in pain!  See why I can't wait?

Have a good week everyone.

Weekend Wrap-up

Last week my oldest cousin passed away and we went to her visitation on Saturday.  So sad knowing she was all alone when she passed away.  But like so many families, it was one of those times everyone was together again and it was nice catching up with everyone's lives.  

We stopped to visit with Jim's brother but he wasn't home so I visited his dogs...Tuffy and Sugar. 

Sunday was actually a nice spring day so we went out in the country for a walk and then stopped at an antique store.  Browsed around but didn't find anything I couldn't live without.  On the way back we stopped at McDonalds for ice cream!  Really a nice treat for $1. 

Bummed out at the Badgers lost to Kentucky last night, but it was fun following them this year. They should be good again next year!  On Wisconsin!
