Full Steam Ahead

I know, I know, I haven't been faithful at this for awhile. This month is absolutely crazy and along with that, we are leaving in about a week and a half for Colorado. We were personally invited to the Air Force Academy Graduation near the end of May. We made plans over a year ago to attend. We are going out early so that we can do other things before the graduation. We are going to take the cog railway up Pike's Peak, go to Royal Gorge, and maybe go to Cripple Creek and a few other places. Thankfully when I planned the trip, I figured in a high price for gas which is what has happened. We will be very close to spending what I had figured in the first place. And, yes it is still cheaper to drive than to fly for the four of us. In the meantime, we've had to renew our CPR and First Aid for work, finish shopping for the trip, start packing, and many other things that are on the calender including a wedding I'm in this weekend. I already packed the food box that sits between my sister and me...knowing her, she'll be in it before we go 100 miles.

Some of you have mentioned to me about posting more pictures of Hawaii. Believe me, if I could post a picture I would. I've had the most terrible time trying to post pictures. My picture file sizes are not too big....the only thing I can come up with is that we are still on dial up for our internet connection and it takes forever. Now you would think that living so close to the capital city of PA that we would have any kind of connection at our finger tips. NOT SO! Our only option right now would be cable connection which we have considered, but they want way too much money for that.......so, I'm not sure what we are going to do. I was so frustrated the other day that I was talking to the computer screen in a very loud voice......I guess I thought that if it heard something that it would do something. Of course, everyone else thought it was funny except me! Oh, well, maybe one of these times it will all work out and you will actually get to see more pictures.
