Travel ideas for the New Year?

Inconclusive travel plans for 2014 

The following was sent to me by long-term friend, Bob Derham, who has contributed other wonderful items to Learning from Dogs.  It had, in turn, been sent to Bob by a good friend of his. Well worth sharing.

oooOOOooo

Travel plans for 2014?

I have been in many places, but I’ve never been in Cahoots.  Apparently, you can’t go alone.  You have to be in Cahoots with someone.

I’ve also never been in Cognito.  I hear no one recognizes you there.

I have, however, been in Sane.  They don’t have an airport; you have to be driven there.  I have made several trips there, thanks to my friends, family and work.

I would like to go to Conclusions, but you have to jump, and I’m not too much on physical activity anymore.

I have also been in Doubt.  That is a sad place to go, and I try not to visit there too often.

I’ve been in Flexible, but only when it was very important to stand firm.

Sometimes I’m in Capable, and I go there more often as I’m getting older.

One of my favourite places to be is in Suspense!  It really gets the adrenalin flowing and pumps up the old heart!  At my age I need all the stimuli I can get!

And, sometimes I think I am in Vincible but life shows me I am not.

People keep telling me I’m in Denial but I’m positive I’ve never been there before!

I may have been in Continent, but I don’t remember what country I was in. It’s an age thing. They tell me it is very wet and damp there.

I have been in Deep s*** many times; the older I get, the easier it is to get there. 

 “Life is short. Smile while you still have your teeth.”

oooOOOooo

Priceless.  Thank you Bob (and Andrew).

Happy Birthday to my lovely wife!

Saturday smile!

An old one but still made me laugh – yes, I know, there’s no accounting for taste!

And a big thank-you to Cynthia S for passing this on.

MARY’S  CRUISE SHIP DIARY

DEAR DIARY –  DAY 1

All packed for the cruise ship — all my nicest dresses,  swimsuits, short sets.  Really, really  exciting.

Our local Red Hat chapter – The Late Bloomers decided on this “all-girls” trip.  It will be my first one, – and I can’t wait!

DEAR  DIARY – DAY 2

Entire day at sea, beautiful.  Saw whales and dolphins.  Met the Captain today — seems like a very nice man.

DEAR  DIARY – DAY 3

At the pool today.  Did some shuffleboard, hit golf  balls off the deck. Captain invited me to join him at his table for dinner.  Felt honored and had a wonderful time.  He is very attractive and attentive.
———————————————————-
DEAR  DIARY – DAY 4

Won  $800.00 in the ship’s casino.  Captain asked me to have dinner with him in his own cabin. Had a scrumptious meal complete with caviar and champagne.  He asked me to stay the night, but I declined.  Told him I could not be unfaithful to my husband.

————————————————————–
DEAR  DIARY – DAY 5

Pool again today. Got sunburned, and I went inside to drink at piano-bar, stayed there for rest of day. Captain saw me, bought me several large drinks.

Really is quite charming. Again asked me to visit his cabin for the night.  Again I declined.  He told me, if I did not let him have his way with me, he would sink the ship…  I was shocked.

DEAR  DIARY – DAY 6

Today I saved the lives of all 2,600 passengers and crew!

 

 

Twice.

The selflessness of Mary has me in deep awe!
