Stone Soup by Jan Eliot for January 07, 2013

Yep, just start saving up. It’s going to be worth it, believe me :)

Pretty soon they’ll be pining for the fjörds. I know I am.

Actually, my brother is a policeman. He makes four times what I earn in a job in private industry. Likewise, my mother was a school teacher and she earned a respectable salary, too. I guess it’s all relative. If you’re comparing a policeman’s salary with, say, that of Bill Gates, or a UAW auto worker, it’s pathetic. But if you compare it with the salary of your average working stiff, or the laborers in some Mom and Pop market, it looks pretty darned good.

Better still, Barcelona!

If I’m gonna get shot at, I want money – lots of money. (And that includes our military, thank you very much.)

Actually, it would be nice for Val to have some professional success. A promotion to something she’s into doing or very goos at. Would make a cool story line.

How about someplace really exotic – like Mississippi? Or is it Missouri? I never could get those two straight.

I have no interest in travel anymore, tho’ I would if he wanted to. Anyplace we share a bed is fine with me (tho’ some are more comfortable than others) ;-D

What money or Paris, France? (I’d like to experience some money)

Well, I don’t know where this is leading…but let’s GO! It’s way past time!!!

Aww, these two are cute together!

Sounds like a plan in works.

Stayed at a B&B in Tuscany. Even took cooking lessons! Had a great time and would go back in a heartbeat!
