Europe

Hello everyone! I have been I Europe almost a week and this is my first mobile blog.
We left LAX last Wednesday and flew most of that day and all through the night and we finally landed in Barcelona, Spain. It is a beautiful and an amazing city. This my first trip to Europe and I am loving it.
We spent 2 days in Barcelona before we boarded on the Royal Caribbean cruise ship, Navigator of the sea.
Our first stop was Marceille, France. It was amazing! We did a lot of walking then had a great port side lunch.
Our next stop was in Cagliari, Sardinia, Italy. Wow! Very different from France and boy did we have an amazing lunch. We found a little restaurant down a tiny side street. A cute older Italian man owned it and took great care of us. We had some yummy food!!
Yesterday we docked in Palermo, Sicily, Italy where the Godfather lives (LOL) it was a bit of a disappointment. After being in two amazing cities we dock in Palermo and it is crazier than New York city during rush hour!! Oh my word!! The fact that we didn't get hit by a car, bus, or motorcycle is a miracle. Our last day on the ship was a day at sea. Nice and relaxing! Mindy and I had pedicures!
I will post pictures soon!

My Ring Thing.

I am the only person who does this??
My favorite Aunt, who passed away in 1996, taught me this. When a thought pops in your head that you don't want to forget and you can't write it down you spin your wedding ring around so that it is facing backwards. The next time you realize that your ring is backwards you remember why you turned it around in the first place. It really works!!
Of course there are several times that I notice my ring is backwards and for the life of me I cannot remember WHY I turned it around.
I have a few therories about this-1-That I do this little trick WAY too much and it has lost it's trickiness. 2-That I am losing my mind and can't remember anything. 3-That I have too many kids and I don't know if I'm coming or going.
