I was sick with a cold all week and am just finally getting to feel normal again. We had plans to go to Greenfield Village in Dearborn, Michigan this weekend but I had to cancel becasue of my illness. We were going with two other couples to see the village Christmas festivities which were outdoor of course with the temperatures expected to be in the teens. My husband rustled up a substitue and went off without me (it was pre-paid). I'll just have to go another year.

   I spent yesterday watching basketball (UK beat North Carolina) and football (Alabama beat Florida) and looking for a cruise to take somewhere warm next year. I got a good deal on Royal Caribbean's Independence of the Seas which is a Freedom Class ship which used to be the biggest and fanciest in their fleet until the Oasis of the Seas came out just this month. I guess everyone wants to go on the Oasis so there are good deals to be had on the other ships. I'll have a surprise for my husband when he gets home today.
