I saw this at moms friends business today and thought it was pretty funny. Florida seems pretty cold right now only 60 some degrees and the sun is hiding. Hopefully it will clear up soon.

Sunsets and holiday's

Well I have a 4h layover in Miami so I thought i get some of the pictures I have been taking up here. First off I hope everyone has a great christmas. While I am spending a large chunk of Christmas day traveling - sometimes it feels like I spend more time in airports and planes than at home - I still had a good holiday. Hubby and I had a great time at the movie yesterday and then dinner and presents. He really liked the Steelers Jacket I got him and I loved my earrings and the book he gave me. I was a bit suspicious at first - getting a book about how to make a marriage last - made we wonder but he said that he sought it was appropriate since we'd be married at least that long. I thought it was sweet and I liked that some thinking went into my gift. I like gifts better that mean something and dont care about what they cost. So this was perfect. This morning I got up and found him making breakfast for us. He had to go into work real early and after getting back thought to surprise me with food.

No on to the sunsets. I am a sucker for them (like most girls I am sure) and can't help but take pictures of them.

This one I took on the way back from West Virginia the other day this was in Maryland outside of DC. Unfortunately I couldn't pull over so its a bit blurry.

This I saw this week coming home from Ohio on Wednesday. This is on the Hampton Roads bridge tunnel on the Norfolk side. Lucky for me the traffic was slow and I got plenty of time to take pictures. I uploaded the rest to Flickr. I think the cool part about these were that the sun looked like it was plunging into the Navy base and the ships docked there right now.

Nothin much to see just gray clouds, snow flakes and part of the Ohio State University campus. Hoping I get to go home tomorrow without delays and cancelations

Snow dogs

It's funny our dogs love the snow as much as I do. They couldn't wait to get out and play in the snow. I took them for walk around the block last night and they were so excited. My flights today did get canceled so I am trying again tomorrow. If it wasn't for the deadline on Thursday I wouldn't mind staying home this week.

SNOWWWWW

I am so thrilled its snowing and it looks like its staying. Snow makes everything look so pretty. Unfortunately I am to fly out to Columbus, OH tomorrow and the said snow may be a problem. With this storm I may not make it there which means I wont make the Dec 24 deadline and that sucks big time. However my boss did just call to tell me not to kill myself over trying to make the deadline so I will do my best and if that does not get me there then oh well.

Here is the view from the hospital I am at this week in Wheeling, WV. I drove this time since it takes me as long to drive as it does to fly actually with delays due to weather and such its sometimes faster driving. Since I didn't leave till after dinner there was not much traffic so even with rain, fog and snow I still made good time getting in at 2am. Well need to get some more work done then its off to bed this cold I've had for a week now is killing me.

Texas

Here are some more pics of the Texas trip - the rest of story is over at the private blog. It was fun seeing were hubby was born and lived a few years after he finished highschool. He showed me the apartment he lived in and the place he used to work at. We had lots of tex mex and I even had a breakfast taco (veggie version of course). We went out to see his grandma twice which was fun she is such a great character I really liked her. She is one of those that do not take any bullshit. I hope she recovers and gets out of the nursing home like she wants too. She told us to go to this little cafe down the street from her nursing home and so we did. It was Mexican food mainly I liked mine but even more did I like the old building it was in with all the stuff on the walls.

We told grandma hubby (and maybe me) will be back next year and she liked that idea. I did overhear her tell hubby's mom that I could stay she liked me and thought I fit right in :) good to know I got her approval ;)

We just got back. As always the pups where thrilled but the cats are still mad at us. Misty didn't want anything to do with me :(. And Cleo is no where to be found. Guess graveling will be on this weeks schedule.

True love texas style.

We pass this cross on the way to grandma. A man had it built to imortalize his wife after she passed away. It has lights that shine upon it when its dark illuminating it to be seen from far away. So the saying seems true everything is bigger in texas including memorials for loved ones.

We went out to Barringer, Tx today to see hubby's grandma. The town is more or less out in nowwhere. We passed countless cattle ranches and open Prairie. All I could think off was how fun it would be to go horseback riding here.

We are having lunch at the 410 diner in San Antonio. It looks like the diner in the 50's did.

Hubby and I came to Texas to meet up with some of his family he had not seen for 20+ years. On our way to add some more Hard Rock Cafe glasses to our collection and to goof off on the riverwalk and meet up with one of his fraternity brothers.

Here is my view from my hotel this am. Today was nuts & breaking the heel on my boots didn't improve it. I had not realized that we dont have a store from where i bought them in our area. So i found one on the way to the airport & after some discussion i was able to exchange them. I am trying to get on an erlier flight home with the bad weather coming in ... . Hubby & I leave early tomorrow and i still got lots to do.

World AIDS day

Here is a pic of downtown Richmond. I was there for the day and am flying out of here to Philly today.
I have to say I was disappointed that one of my sites who works with HIV + patients not only not knew that World AIDS day is today but that there is such a thing. It just shows that awareness is sorely lacking which is sad. I mean this disease is still spreading despite that it can be prevented. If you haven't yet check online for the companies that participate in the 12 days of giving. So get your starbucks and contribute
