Rave: Did an overnighter in Niagara Falls with my husband Wednesday night.
Rant: We both lost at the new casino, but had a good time anyway! The new casino is very nice - classy!!!
Rave: Thursday was a beautiful day and we walked around and enjoyed the falls and the sunshine.
Rant: I've lived here my entire life and have never stayed overnight in "The Falls."
Rave: 12 days until my next getaway - Florida! I can't wait to feel the sun on my head and the sand in my toes!
Rant: Good friend was just diagnosed with breast cancer.
Rave: It hasn't spread, she's having a masectomy, and she's very upbeat. I think she's gonna be OK. Please keep Jackie in your prayers!!!
Have a great weekend, everyone!!!

Good Morning, everyone! Happy Friday!
I'll absolutely pray for your friend, BuffaloGirl.
Rave: My DH is coming home today! It's been a tough week without him - I need a hug.
Rave: Limited work schedule because of spring break and the schools were closed. I used the extra time to clean out my closet and hang out on Fodors.
Rave: My youngest son is heading up to Boston to visit his brother. He needs the comfort of his brother to help heal his heart.
Rave/Rant: Going to California with my husband. But I'm feeling anxious about leaving my big guys behind - just like when they were little (even though their still away at college and are happy that I'm going with their dad). I think the events of last weekend are causing my feelings.
No family vacation scheduled this year -- so far. It's okay. After we return from the oldest son's graduation, DH is taking a couple of days off. We've decided to all go into the NYC and see some shows (Spelling Bee is on the list L), visit the museums, and head out to dinner to some new places - maybe stay a night in town. Definately sailing the boats at Central Park. Just being together is what matters.
I wish everyone a peaceful and healthy weekend and Happy Passover to those Fodor friends who celebrate.

RAVE: Planning fun trip to NY with help from you all
RANT: Woke up yesterday and couldn't lift my right foot - I have "foot drop", a litle scarey but the neurologist thinks I will get it back, crossing my fingers since I can't cross my toes.
RAVE: Could actually see a neurologist very quickly!
Praying for speedy recoveries to all who need it and strength and peace to their friends and families.

Rave:
Just had great three day weekend in Baton Rouge. So much to see and do. Great food too. Found a great hotel for next years ship's reunion.
Rave: went aboard the USS Kidd DD661, same class as the one I was on in early '50s. Very eerie feeling, like stepping back in time.
Only section of interstates heavily patrolled from VA to Baton Rouge was I-12 between NO and BR.

Rave: 2 weeks and counting until New Orleans trip. I've been printing off pages from this site to take with me. mmmm..sounds like good eats there!
Rant: ALL the plumbing in my house backed up yesterday and I found an inch of water on the kitchen floor(leaking into the basement) and the dishwasher was full of black sludge. Yuck.
Rave: Rooter guy was only $60 and problem was solved.
Rave: Discovered a restaurant in Stoughton Wi where the food's good and the waiters sing show tunes during dinner. Great birthday dinner for my daughter.
Rant: Farmers Market opens tomorrow in Madison and it's only going to be 48 degrees here.
Rave: Such minor rants I have. Peace to all.

Rave: Angels came from behind and won in the 10th last night! Of course, we had our kids (7, 2) with us and left after the 3rd, but we won!
Rave: I'm going to San Francisco this afternoon for a friend's 40th birthday party complete with the band the English Beat.
Rant; I had a friend refuse to join us for a Passover sedar because they claimed their 7-year-olds would find it "confusing." Not sure if it's anti-semitism of just a lack of sophistication or maybe they don't like us very much, but it's rant-worthy to me.
