Today's Question(s):

When was the last time you went on vacation ? I last went on vacation about 2-3 weekends ago, I went down to Ft. Myers. I'm on vacation all next week... I took off, but I will probably just stay in town.

How far from home did you travel ? Fort Myers... about 2 hours away.

Are you planning one for this year ? Hopefully in June.


Bonus Question:


You know I have to ask

How many of our QOTD family still have clocks that need to "Spring Ahead" ? Oh, I have a clock that says it's 6:00 when it's actually 11:00... the batteries are working, the clock is moving, just somehow lost a lot of time... I haven't gotten around to fixing it... other than that, I think all my clocks are on the right time.
