Well we drove 9 hours today and crossed into Oregon; spending the night in Grant's Pass. Tomorrow it is about 7 hours into Seattle. We board our cruise ship Sunday morning and sail out of Puget Sound at 4:00..... Tuesday we land in Juneau, the state capitol and home of the BEST whale watching we have ever experienced.

Jim, have fun with your kids and grandkids. I already know I will be chomping at the bit on our drive home to see mine

Suzie, try to get a little break/rest, Dear

You are too busy!

Hi, Mo!

We just got back from a HS football game. Watched my grandson march in the band. Took a ton of pictures.

You and Skip have a grand on your cruise

Maureen Souza · 11th of September 2010 (Sat)

0630 I was up and am ready to roll......just waiting for Skip to catch up to me. When will I ever learn that vacations are for relaxing, LOL! I will probably be the busiest passenger on the cruise ship

Jim: our son played the saxaphone but didn't want to continue once he made the high school football team. The schedule was too grueling. Our niece played in the band 4 years, tho, so it was fun watching her every week. Have a great day everyone.....back on the road in a few minutes and into Seattle around 4-ish

I love Seattle!

SuzyView · 11th of September 2010 (Sat)

Hope you have a great trip, Mo! Jim, enjoy your grandkids!

We survived 2 games today, 11 a.m. - 3:30 p.m. We're exhausted and hot, but what a beautiful day here in VA! Older son lost, but his team played hard. Second son tied, but he was cranky the whole time.

No weddings, but I did shoot about 75 images today.

JimAskew · 13th of September 2010 (Mon)

Back safe and sound from Chicago. My grandkids are not kids anymore! Check them out

SuzyView · 14th of September 2010 (Tue)

Welcome home! What a beautiful family! Very blessed.

Mo, having fun yet?

JimAskew · 15th of September 2010 (Wed)

Thanks, Suzie...they are wonderful kids

Looks like we are all alone in here these days

Everyone must really be busy?

Elaine turned in her retirement notice to the Belvoir Thrift Shop on Tuesday

30 September is her last day to work. From then on it is grandkids & me

To celebrate we are going to have a long weekend at the Greenbrier in West Virginia in mid-October.

SuzyView · 16th of September 2010 (Thu)

Sounds like a plan, Jim. Congrats! Tell Elaine, retirement is fun. I won't go back to work until I have to as I have 2 kids still and someday, I'll have no kids at home and go back out of retirement and start another career. I may just decide to be a consultant.

I don't know what for, but I have a plan.

JimAskew · 17th of September 2010 (Fri)

Good Morning, Suzie

We have decided to go to Berkley Springs, WV for our first October weekend "Getaway." Lots of antique stores and lots of photo ops.

TGIF...everyone have a super weekend!

SuzyView · 17th of September 2010 (Fri)

Thanks, Jim. You, too.

I am finishing up my 2nd week of school, getting ready to teach in a week or so. There is a wedding opportunity for me in October, but I'm not sure I'll be free to do it as we have soccer until November.

I just ordered a few things on line, including a Franklin-Covey planner pages. I have an old Compact size binder, and although my Droid has a calendar, and informs me if I have an appointment, I missed seeing my month and week on paper so I can see what was up. So, I ordered the pages again and hopefully, I will continue to make appointments and not miss stuff. I like paper calendars still.

Suzie, let me know if you need any help with this one

SuzyView · 17th of September 2010 (Fri)

I will. Let me make some calls this weekend.

I took a few pictures this week to review the Lowepro Passport bag I got. Most of the RAW images were corrupt with my 4GB Ultra II card. I formatted it twice and tried again. It seemed to work better, no lines. But now I'm worried.

I'm also getting a new laptop today, I got an HP from Costco using my $300 AE rebate check and then paying just $550 more. It was a Deal of the Day thing. I'm hoping to get a teacher's copy of LR3 and CS5 since I am a teacher and can get the discount. My hubby is supposed to get me a copy of Office 2010 from his work since he's going to use the laptop as well. But it's a 17 inch again and I have only one bag that fits it. I may have to go shopping.

SuzyView · 17th of September 2010 (Fri)

New HP laptop is wonderful! I can navigate the internet so fast! It was about time. Wish I had more time to play, though.

Happy weekend!

Happy weekend!

HP is a fine PC brand. My desktop is a HP

Enjoy!

SuzyView · 18th of September 2010 (Sat)

It is a good machine, Jim. I'm very happy. Even the keyboard is good for me. I just wish I can find a black leather handbag that can replace my Coach one that is 9 years old and getting worn. I can't decide whether to use my new Passport bag as a purse, but put the camera in it so I have it all the time. I like leather, so that's a problem. I am going to sell about 4 bags in the next few weeks. I probably will just give them away. I am redoing some configurations.
