Sunday May 15th - the long weekend holiday

In my Children's Adventure Playground

What a great day again today! Deb has spent the entire day downstairs chatting with family and friends on the phone and scaring the neighbours. This image I am sure will be the cause of much therapy for those on Jessie Avenue. Ms. Beattie complete with IPod stuck in her ears, directing how the plantings should go in the front garden. Dressed to kill or at least ready for a red carpet somewhere, in her nightie, bare feet and a knee length (Versace no doubt) sweater. OMG could I shrink faster than her tumor? Not bloody likely. The IPod of course blocked her sense of hearing, so even the local felines scattered in short order. The wilting of my Hosta, well another story. Once safely inside the front porch, with a luncheon fit for her majesty, the waling did stop long enough for her to eat.
Now look at this, a week ago she couldn't lift her eyelids to save her soul, today... dancing in the streets; albeit quite a sight.

The link above is our hotel in Amsterdam from June 27 - July 1. Apparently this is one of Brad Pitt's favourite places to stay when he is in Amsterdam. Not why we booked it of course, location - location - location. We are so looking forward to our cruise even though I have to present a few talks, the downtime will be great. We are at sea for about four days with nice shore excursions in the Scandinavian countries and Northern Europe. If you want to check out our itinerary we are sailing aboard Celebrity Cruises, the Constellation from Amsterdam, return June 15 - 27.
For goodness sakes, rather than just google us, why not join us we will be the ones with the biggest smiles on our faces.
With any luck, our brother-in-law Clyde will be the pilot on our trip over so we may get some extra special treatment for Deb. At the very least, if she is not up to snuff, I will book a wheelchair at both ends as well you know, the airports can be pretty exhausting on a long haul; also you get seated first <lol>.
So tomorrow brings yet another choreography I am certain, perhaps this time in the back garden. The neighbours sleep late so with any luck they will miss the Ms. Debbie Parade  and dance-a-thon. The Ipod will  be suitably re-charged, no John Wayne movies on her DVD player and sunshine we hope. Tune in for the U-tube version of "I Beat Cancer Dancin".

Remember to hug someone you love today... time has a funny way of slipping away, with or without an IPod.
