* I don’t know if I even did anything wrong, because I am pretty sure I followed the directions exactly, since I took two rights and a left, and ended up on the gangplank of a cruise ship!

* Do other people have the same problem? I am terrible at waking up and even worse at going to sleep.

* Remember that every once in a while, you will be standing right in the middle of a moment that will be one of your most precious memories in years to come.

* I thought this was cute….A new diet trend is to wear winter gloves so it is hard to pick up food to eat. It is called inter-mitten fasting.

* Just so you know, there really is a job for people to teach water aerobics in those Caribbean inclusive resorts.

* Yes, I am old enough to have used a pencil to fit a cassette tape, changed the TV channel with a knob, had a black and white TV, and called the operator to make a long-distance call.

* Today is the biggest your child has ever been, and today is also the littlest they will ever be again. Pause for a moment to take it all in….

* Yes, it is about time for me to purchase another refrigerator magnet. I just don’t know where in the Caribbean I should look for it.

* For all my “Lord of the Rings” people. Not everyone wants a fancy life. Some of us just want to live in The Shire, eat po-tay-toes, and randomly go on magical adventures.

* I don’t think before I speak. I like being just as surprised as everyone else by what comes out of my mouth sometimes.

* Here is a smile for you….I don’t know about you, but I could go for a mosquito bite and a sunburn right about now.

* I watched my grandkiddos for a while while mommy and daddy went on a cruise. I can now mark it down as one of the best weeks of my life!

* I am sure I will never look back and think “Gosh, I went on too many vacations and cruises.” I made special memories on some of those crazy adventures with my sister that I now hold close to my heart.

* Just saying, I haven’t watched any spinoffs or pre/post movies after I watched the Marvel “Avengers: Endgame.” a few years ago. I followed that movie series for years and you can’t get any better than that ending. Plus, and I will stand on this and never waiver, there is only one Captain America!
