Travels with my Aunt

I received a package in the mail from my Aunt Mary. She lives in Texas, and is my mother's older sister. Aunt Mary, mom and I have done some serious traveling together. The summer of 2007 we all met up together in London and had one adventure after another. We took tons of pictures, and made disks for each other. The package she sent me had the photo disks I had made for her of the pictures I had taken...which I intended for her to keep. Aunt Mary had also had copies made of all the photos on the disk and sent those too. Which only increased the guilt I have for the fact I haven't "scrapbooked" that trip yet. Yes I know it's was way back in 2007...I've been busy! It was fun to see the pictures again, maybe it will kick start me in to getting them in a book.
Aunt Mary knows I love old photos. In the package there were wonderful photos that had belonged to her friend Helen.
Apparently Helen was going to throw them out and Aunt Mary rescued them for me. These pictures are just too fun. I will have to come up with some clever project to use them on.

Hit Twice

I've been tagged...not once but twice. First Sheri got me, then Tanya. The rules (there are always rules) are I'm to list five of my "addictions" and THEN... tag five other people. I'm not sure if these come under the heading of addictions, but...

#1 My car seat warmer. I know it's Arizona, but it's winter and darn cold in the mornings. The problem is by the time I get to work I'm so warm and comfortable I hate to get out of the car.

#2 Britcoms. I love to watch the British Comedies shown on PBS Saturday nights. Keeping Up Appearances, As Time Goes By, Last of the Summer Wine (I have to put the close caption so not to miss anything) and Waiting for God. They are so... "British" and have a bit more charm that their U.S. cousins.

#3 Cats. I don't know how anybody can function in life with out a least one cat. Nothing can make a no good, terrible, rotten day better than a cat curled up next to you purring.

#4 A fountain Pepsi or Coke in the morning. It's not the caffeine, it's taking that first sip through a straw, when the taste hits your tongue, and the fizz tickles your soft pallet. Ahhhhh!

#5 Taking trips. Not vacations were you sit on a beach and a cabana boy brings you a fruity drink with a little parasol floating in the glass. But a trip, where you walk and explore every out of the way place, nook and cranny. Where you learn about the history, the people, and maybe even make some life long friends. Then every time you think about the place and the friends it puts a smile on your face.

Now who to tag? How about...
