Vacation is over so why not have an ice and snow storm?

Sue and Rick took a cruise (what's new) last week on a new ship, the the Celebrity Solstice...a great time was had by all. Aside from the martini bar, and visiting the baths at Virgin Gorda, the highlight of the trip was a night rescue by a Coast Guard Helicopter that landed on the bow of the ship to remove a very ill passenger. It was something out of the movies or those documentary shows on TV...very cool. Unfortunately my camera broke on the second day so all we have are some memories.

Here we are the first week back and we get slammed by an ice and snow storm....Al Gore are you paying attention?

We made it to 2009!

Happy New Year! Another quiet night at the Dunning house when we rang in the new year. I consider new years to be amateur night...the real party folks (like I used to be) do it year round. Our University of Cincinnati Bearcat football team played in the Orange Bowl and Matt and his wife Erin went to the game...we lost 20-7 but to get there was fun. Sue and Erins mom Cathy are doing the baby sitting as Owen stayed home to party like a rock star....he may not have been the only Dunning to poop his pants that night...Bill are you listening?

Sue and I are planning for our cruise...it happens to be when Obama gets inaugurated so we are telling people we are leaving the country we are so upset...not true but a good story nonetheless.

Happy New Year!
