With just a LITTLE more drama, I finally have my passport in hand. If I only had some CLOTHES, I would be ready for Rome. But I will be off to get a couple pair of jeans and some "serviceable" shoes soon. REAL soon. We leave for DC on Tues next week, and will be on the flight to Rome Wed pm. The final drama re my passport occurred last Thursday, when I returned from an all day seminar in Greensboro to my office in High Point to check my mail and record my time online. An email awaited me, from our mailroom clerk, stating that my passport was in the mailroom. What the heck?? I had asked DHL to deliver the signature-required-in-person package to my work address, forgetting that I was not going to be there. I called them back early in the am to reschedule, only to learn that there was no record of the planned delivery to work. So I said ok, fine, deliver to my home address Friday. So they delivered it to my work address, accepted the signature of anyone willing to sign, and Barbara had gone home, not telling anyone where the passport was placed. After a few histrionics on my part, it was finally located, to my tremendous relief. Carolyn said my lovely photo looked like I was being sent up the river, and I could only laugh and agree.
We took off for New Bern this weekend, although it was raining Fri and Sat and our trip to the Mum Festival was dampened. Pretty much it was like the Palatka Blue Crab Festival without the crabs...and without the Florida heat. We did spend a lot of quality time in the hot tub and indoor pool. Sunday was clearer and cooler, but I did spend some time trying to soak up some sun on the outdoor pool deck. We spend endless conversations trying to decide if we want to buy a one bedroom with a deck. Still undecided. We kind of like the incredible European-ness of our functional one room, and we love the renovation. Still, it would be nice to have access to the outside. We will ponder this some more.
My incredibly handsome grandson flew to Orlando with his dad this weekend to attend a wedding in some fine new threads. I will post pix if I get some. Kristen and Brett got to travel to Mousetown and hang with the bro in law and the nephew. Pictures, please!!!
Will post again, maybe after the incredible Italy tour.

We'll be sure to send pictures after Ray gets them off the camera. I sure hope he took some!
I don't think we took any pictures. But Trevor sure looked cute in his skull & crossbones tie and shoes!! He is so grown up now. Awwwww. He was very impressed by Brett's new tattoo. Brett is glad he has a "nephew" he can relate to! PS his sister just found out she is having a girl!
