Miscellany Monday

 {1} I think a lot of bloggers, that use Blogger,  think when they type their blog that the size of the font they have chosen is bigger than it is. I say that because when I first started blogging I would choose the "normal size."  It certainly appeared plenty big when I typed my blog but when I published it, it was much smaller and hard for my 58 year old eyes to read. ~smile~  So, I started using the "large size" and it is just perfect.  I am pretty sure that the size is reduced tremendously once the blog is published and therein lies the problem.  I'm not sure why that happens, but as I was saying, some blogs are hard to read as a result.  Sort of like this:

{2} I'm a "golfer's widow" again and do understand, I'm not complaining. Hubby loves to golf but lays it aside when hunting season opens in mid-Oct.  And, even if he were not a hunter, he likely would not golf in the winter. He is definitely a "fair weather" golfer.  But, this past week's weather gave him the "itch" and back to the course he went this week-end.  I'm just so glad that I'm married to a man that has hobbies and it's something besides sitting around watching TV. ~smile~

{3} Hubby and I will be celebrating our 40th wedding anniversary with a cruise this summer.  We will be boarding the Holland America ship, ms Maasdam, for a Canada/New England tour. We will add two days on the front and end of the cruise for sightseeing in Quebec and Boston. Wow! bet I'll have all kinds of blog fodder when we get back.  We're excited that dear friends will be going with us.  You know, everything's better and "funner" with friends. ~giggle~ 

{4} I was so thrilled to hear my sweet Dad's voice on the phone Saturday afternoon.  He called to tell me that he and my step Mom had made it safely home from their nearly two week trip to Florida.  Yep! my 81 year old Dad just got back from a fun filled time in Disney World.  They did all the parks and went to Downtown Disney and took in the Cirque du Soleil  one evening.  Oh, how I pray I have inherited his genes!  I bet most 81 year olds that even make it to Disney World are on a mobility scooter.  I'm so thankful that he can still go and do and enjoy life!  And, they drove!  And, get this, they rode the "big Daddy" roller coaster at Animal Kingdom.  Oh, my goodness!  I'm sure sorry that I do not have a picture of that.~chuckle~

{5} Can we even imagine this? I wonder if these folks even knew what the word "hurry" meant, or the word "stress."

{6} I'll be having dinner for the family this evening.  Of course, the girls are off today for President's Day and Hubby's sister and her husband are in town for a visit, so we'll all be "breaking bread" together this evening.  I've baked another Blueberry Pound Cake for dessert and am making a 3-Cheese Chicken Casserole, Fruited Cream Salad and a green veggie.  It should be a "hi-ho" good time for sure!
