6/06 Something to think about...

"Laughter is an instant vacation".
Milton Berle

Today is our last day for vacation, and we even extended it a day. We have laughed much and seen so much beauty and wonder that I think I will be able to recall the memories for an instant vacation for a long time. I am a big believer in a 5 minute vacation and I do it all the time, taking a break to recall a memory or dream of a trip or place or time, they do make me smile. Today if you are not on vacation take that 5 minute trip to somewhere in your mind where you can smile and laugh and rest and recharge the engines, the trip is worth the 5 minutes out of your day.

Tomorrow we will be traveling and will not be checking in, it has been lovely here and going up into the mountains yesterday was just breathtaking. Today we are doing some Colorado Springs things like going to the Broadmoor Hotel to walk around their maginificient grounds, visit Old Colorado City, a pottery shop and a stop at Whole Foods. It has been great to be with my son he makes me smile all the time!

Have a great day!

Today, I was looking through some of the photos I have stored on a CD, and was transported to that location. It was great.

I have started to add some of them to the second page of my web site, so I can look back more frequently. I need to dig out our trip across Canada pictures and add some of them, too.

Should we ever have to move again, I have a more permanent reminder than just my fallable memories

What a beautiful thought.....I will take my own 5 minute vacation today :)

It is so good to hear you are having such a good time Billie.We visited our son and his wife last weekend. Our oldest son met us there and we had a really nice time. I was able to rock and play with three of my grandaughters. The two year old cried when we had to leave. That was hard. My vacation in my mind will be of cuddling them. Thank you for the nice thought.
