Got that tune running through my head and can't get it out! Does that ever happen to you? I might not know the name of the tune, but the words dance through my thoughts taunting me to remember. I think it's the temperature outside and the warm logs burning inside that keep those words dancing in my thoughts. Oh, wait! I Googled it and that is the title. Google it, you'll remember it!

So, with the chill factor, it was 6 degrees this morning here in Georgia. The buses ran, the students were delivered to school. The bells rang and school carried on. Why? Well, because here in Georgia, we'll call off school if one snowflake falls, but if the skies are clear, we're open for business. I can't figure that one out. Snow happens at 32 degrees, frost bite in a matter of minutes is likely at 6 degrees. We allow our kids outside to play in the snow, they slide down snow covered hill on cardboard. Yet, we close the schools. Then when the low temperature really makes it dangerous to be outside, we have them waiting on the bus in 6 degree temperatures.


Oh well, the day is over and I'm home warm with the cat snuggling on my shoulder and my bare feet held out to the warmth of the fire logs. So all is good. The kiddies made it through the cold. They made it through the day and everything went well.

Now I'm thinking of warmer climes. So here are a few more vacation pictures to warm your night!

Did you know that they carve elaborate sculptures of food for the extravganza night on MSC cruises?

I can't imagine how long they worked on these elaborate carvings. Done  in butter, ice, and fruit. Absolutely amazing!

How about this sunny spot in the Mediterranean? Would love to be here now, wouldn't you?

Or here hiking up the volcanic mountain side of Santorini while our cruise ship awaits our return from a day of siteseeing!

We could visit the ruins of the temple of Athena near the site of the first Olympic  Games, I know for a fact that it gets warm here!

This amazing stadium is in Athens and was constructed for the last Olympic Games held there.  It gets really warm here too!

Now, are you feeling warmer? No, then how about a book that is really hot?

Santorini! Greek Island in the sun. Beautiful, scenic, romantic and dangerous if you ride the donkeys!

View from the top of the Donkey Stairs on Santorini.

Donkey and rider climbing the steps of Santorini.

You can see the zig-zag steps going up the cliff where the donkey's carry tourist up to the village. Alittle over half way up the donkey threw my daughter! She walked the remainder of the way both up and down! They stampede the donkeys back down from the top. When they came down her donkey spooked and threw her!

MSC Musica leaves Santorini! In the distance you can see the rounded shape of the caldera which filled with water when the volcano erupted and destroy part of the island of Thera.

This was the most scenic port we visited! Breathtaking! Romantic and exciting, the perfect local for a Romance Novel! Mykonos!

Mykonos, Greece the party capital of the Mediterranean!

The streets were full and all the restaurants were busy as everyone partied into the night!

Athens, Greece where we visited the antiquities!

Small harbor Dubrovnik.

We toured the fortress and all the shops. Shopping in Dubrovnik was great!

Interesting statue! Is that Pan?

Our last port of call was Dubrovnik, Crotia. Amazing to visit what was once a part of the Soviet Union!
