Radisson Lansing

The English Inn in Eaton Rapids (outside of Lansing Mi) is where we got married one year ago October 4, we went back to celebrate our anniversary and recall that "day of days". It was a little warmer this year but still a nice cool misty October afternoon / evening. Here are a few photos from this year, we will post some photos from the wedding in a few days.<br><br>Love to All, Tom &amp; Donna<br>

... take my pill that morning. I checked the prices on Sunday and they had already moved up to $815. Right now they are $830 [I feel so thrifty and resourceful]. Being a semi-economist (one with some idea of how prices work), plane tickets are extremedly complicated yet they work perfectly. If someone needs a ticket, they will pay almost any price. If that ticket is bought last minute, it's very likely that it's price will be high. Yet, I am not completely confident with that ...

... to our retirement budget! <br><br>OK, enough with the excuses!! Just be forewarned that the entries may be far apart time-wise. <br><br>We hope you are enjoying the blog.

After a hectic weekend with graduation and parties, it's finally time to head overseas. I've been planning this trip for almost a year now, hard to believe it has finaly arrived. We depart DTW at 3 PM, make a couple stops on the east coast in Baltimore and Philly before we fly into Dublin. We will be there Tuesday morning. We are staying at the Ashfield House, located in the city centre. More info to come later.

... this was a gift from Pam's sister, Pat. Yes, we know, this was a very generous gift, one which we can't reciprocate but for which we will be forever grateful! Italy was all of (and more than) what we hoped it would be -- an overload (in a good way!) of magnificent sights, delicious food (yep - gained 4 lbs!!) and fun companionship. <br><br>We had a fantastic journey with Tauck Tours. This was our first experience with a tour and we ...

... about. Why did someone not tell us that getting married the week before finals was a bad idea? AND trying to leave for a seven week trip all within 72 hours? Just madness! Wait, maybe someone did tell us that. Wish us luck on our finals and wish us luck in remembering everything on our packing list. We need it! P.S. Thank you to everyone who donated towards this trip!

... friends and made new ones. The weather was probably the best I have ever had on a European continent trip. The weather in the Greek Isles is still hard to beat. I had rain one night in Zermatt and other than that the sun shone most of the rest of the trip. The transportation and hotels went off without many hitches and the food was great as always. I am always amazed at the ...

... I'll be bringing medications for several possible ailments for both me and Bella. No illness will dare touch us! Of course, I'll share these remedies with Tina. Although if I know her, she'll be bringing her own pharmacy. I'm wondering if I have enough room in my suitcases . . . I already shipped Tina a box of stuff for her to pack in her suitcases. How can a small baby require so much ...

But jeez, I w*uld nev** have th*ught a p*et c*uld gr*w t* be s* tall. Well, maybe Charles Buk*wski was just as tall.

... see so many people that I miss. On one of the last nights Marianne set up a dinner night. She is a great cook, I was extremely excited..until the kitchen caught on fire that is. I told her " i know you know that I like the fireman..but you didn't really have to go through all that trouble". We took her out and got her smashed instead. Michigan..a sureal, but good time. I am thinking about moving back actually.
