Fallen for Scam

Until this morning, I have never fallen for a scam. There was a wonderful opportunity online that looked so honest, sincere and I will have to admit, it also looked too good to be true.
With the security of credit card insurance which is all they asked for, I filled in my name, address and phone number. They are going to contact me in 3 business days. When completed the information, I clicked the "next" and got a notice that there was a mistake on my application.
That happened 3 x's. At that point, I went back to start all over and "poof" it was GONE OFF LINE TOTALLY.
Not a trace of the offer was left. Wonder what comes next? Do doubt, nothing good.
So, that's how I started my year.
What about you? Ever fallen for a scam?

Happy New Decade

A new "Apple" came down last night to bring in our new decade.
Couldn't believe it is made of Waterford Crystal. HOW NICE.
I love New York ~ perhaps the best part is to show it off to friends who have never been.
In fact~~
I so enjoyed our 2000 decade and am looking forward to yet another. Happy Wishes to all~
After seeing Julia movie, my resolution will be to blog daily and especially complete the China trip. Might be impossible to catch up on the rest of the year.
What happened here ?
Since my blog is my Diary, complete with photos, didn't take long for my printer to throw in the towel. I used that as my excuse...so now back up and running.

Our 2 feet of snow just before Christmas was wonderful. Using my new cross country poles I could easily go with the grown kids and grand ones going over the hills and down the slopes to the best sledding area in the world.
They built a ramp of packed snow at the bottom of a steep run. Coming down the hill and taking the ramp, the sled would come off in the air some 4 feet high before landing in the soft snow bank. The little ones flew nicely, but the heavier grown kids came down almost immediately. Was so much fun to watch that I decided to sled myself. Of course, I bypassed the ramp. I can't tell you how fun that was. Just had to go again. I do live by my philosophy,
"You only go around once, but if you do it right, once is enough."
Have told me children, should I die doing something I enjoy, then always know that I died extremely happy. Right?
Happy New Year to all.

Memories ~ Life is a great trip!
