Happy Valentine's Day!  I hope you are having a nice one.  My Sweetie and I had breakfast together, chatted with a friend, did some shopping, then went to Olive Garden for a lovely lunch.  I had Chicken Scampi and it was really delicious!  We may just skip dinner since we had lunch a little later than usual.

How did you spend your special day?

Later I had a brief nap  -- don't you love little cat naps in the afternoon?  I sure do -- they really seem to refresh me.

Have any of you been keeping up with the saga of the Carnival Cruise ship that had a fire and lost power?  Tug boats are attempting to tow it back to the USA but there just seems to be one failure after another.  More than 3,500 people are on board ship and have spent several days with limited food and water, no cooling, limited electricity, and very limited toilets.  Well, a friend of ours is on that ship -- her very first cruise.  Such a terrible experience for her!  We have been on one cruise (to Alaska) and we loved every minute of it.  I am so sorry that her cruise experience has been so bad.

Have you ever been on a cruise?  Where did you go?  Did you enjoy your trip?

My Mom is doing very well -- she is still doing her physical therapy and has regained some of her strength.  I think it is time to start planning her 91st birthday party!

Take care, everyone, would love to hear from you!
