I have been working on my new house non stop for the last few weeks in an attempt to get it well underway before I left on my trip.  Much has been done and it is starting to come together but it still has a  ways to go.  My crew will continue to wok on it while I am away. Sometimes it is hard to leave when a project gets really moving. It is sort of exciting. 

 I have had plans to travel for a few months now. My mom and I try to go on a trip together every year or two.  Last year we traveled around the western U.S.A.  for two weeks. It was a great trip. This year my mom and I are going to Italy and Greece and the vatican (yes, the vatican is a sovern nation).  We both are sort of history buffs and and are going to hit the tourist type destinations. The leaning tower, Venace, The parthanon ect., ect.
