visitors

Well I haven't been able to  keep up so well. I thought once a week at least would be easy, hum, not so.
My parents arrived from Melbourne, Australia on Tuesday, so it's been great catching up with them. They're here for a month and we plan on doing a few day trips as well as having my dad help with work around the yard, we want a veggie garden and a few other things. So we'll have lots of projects to keep him busy.

My inlaws will also be here for a week next week, so we'll have a really full house. Hopefully, lots of helpers around for me to catch up on some things around the place. It's amazing how someone so small, can take up so much time. But overall, Cassandra is good at occupying herself and great company for me.

On the cruising front I can't believe our 2 cruises in Australia 4th Scrapbook Cruise and the 2nd Australian Quilt Cruise, are just about at final payment time. Wow did that year go fast! I'll be setting up a Yahoo group so we can all chat and get to know each other before the cruise. Should be a fantastic cruise on the Voyager of the Seas. If you're joining us, look forward to seeing you soon!

Keeping up

Isn't funny how when you first start something, you have such good intentions and think you'll be able to do it without any trouble. Or when you meet up with a group of people you all tend to say, "hey we need to do this again" and everyone says of course they will. Only to find the good intentions kind of gave way to reality like, other schedules, things that come up last minute or that you just lose enthusiasm.

Yes, that's me too, you only have to look at this blog to see that!. But on a good note, I am trying harder to keep some things regular, like Cassandra's weekly  toddlers music class and another meet up. The only down side is, it seems everything is now for her and no 'adult social things at all' I guess that's life with a busy husband who is almost always off playing music on weekends and not out or visiting other families. Oh well.

On a good note, I think he will be making time to update our CraftingCruises website. I am going to do my best to keep up with the blog (some enthusiasm  such as a sign that someone is actually reading it would help!) and will be adding a yahoo groups forum for the cruises, which will be added, along with the existing forum, on our Craftingcruises website.
Let's see how we go!
