Good Afternoon!!

While Kylie, my granddaughter, takes her afternoon nap in her room here at my house, I decided to pursue my sister, Kiki's, advice on starting a Blog. I'm not exactly sure what I plan to write about, but I do want it to be worth writing.
Right now, I'm planning to keep this as a journal, especially for when I travel and load my pictures from my travels. Likewise, I want to journal about life with Kylie and pictures from our family events. Also I may even post some of my craft creations so that I can share them with friends and relatives who are unable to view them in person. I suppose that will help me validate my efforts at creativity, although I'm sure many will just reassure themselves that I have too much time on my hands. Actually, I'm hoping that by doing this, I can become more organized about what I have done and what my future plans are going to be.
Just this past week, Chip and I talked about our up and coming travel plans for this year while watching a travel show on TV. We decided that beginning this year, we would take a trip each year going somewhere that we have always said we wanted to go. Not just the typical vacations, but hopefully adventures that we can look back and say, "I never thought I'd get to do that!" We figured if we don't just start doing it, we would end up being 80 years old and saying, "I just wish we had done that!"
Our vacation plans currently exist of me and my sister and cousin, Colleen, going to Santa Barbara wine country in April for the Vintner's Festival and then in May, we are going to Perdido Key with Kylie and Todd and Kathy Clark and meeting the Bond's who are coming from England to join us at the beach house. For fall, we are planning our first trip to Disney World with Kylie since she will be old enough to really enjoy and remember the trip.
This year our trip on the "I've Always Wanted to Do That" list that we are planning for is a trip to Pasadena, CA for New Year's day 2009 and seeing the Rose Parade. Next year we are shooting for an Italy/France tour.
Well now I've started my blog and you can come back often to see what's going on in Teri's World.
May we all find our Bliss!
