<br />
Here are some random thoughts from our trip to Orlando<br />
<br />
If you go to Disney and or Universal please make a plan. It broke my heart to see frazzled parents and children at 1230 every single day trying to decide what they wanted to eat and by then the places were all so packed. <br />
<br />
Pack snacks. Alicia and Marisa and Kaitlin did this so well. Your children and you will be hungry so throw in some cereal and peanut butter crackers etc. William and Alicia had big carabiners on their stroller to hang snack cups on plus other necessities.<br />
<br />
If you can read the newspaper through your stretch pants, don't wear them to Disney. I was in a wheelchair and I saw lots of folks and I am so sorry I can't unsee some of those things. <br />
<br />
There is a dragon on top of Gingotts in Harry Potter World and when he goes off and roars and the fire comes out, you will jump. I jumped so high I scared the folks standing near me. <br />
<br />
The child swap at Universal is usually a room to wait in which is nice. At Disney it is a fast pass given which is a different kind of nice.<br />
<br />
We were there the same weekend as the Disney marathon. There is a 5K, 10K, a half and whole marathon. The folks that wore their medals after the 5 and 10K cracked me up. I got the feeling from them that they felt like they had beaten Usain Bolt at the Olympics. Seriously. <br />
<br />
Mr W loved watching the monorail. We had no need to ride it. Fairest had us ride it from EPCOT to MK one night so he could ride it. Heaven. He was in heaven.<br />
<br />
We rode the bus back to our motel one night with a group of runners from New Hampshire. When the canned bus music played Sweet Caroline and they all sang with gusto, Carl and I joined in with them. Thanks to Andrew we knew how the Bosox fans sing it! <br />
<br />
We have lots more pictures! Just ask if you want to see them.<br />
<br />
Below is our Florida trip crew. Several folks wondered how John could be in two places in one picture- John in the front and William is in the back. William is John's cousin and they are often mistaken for each other. They decided that for our next trip they will dress more alike to really mess with your mind!<br />
<br />
<br />
Our first stop was to Atlanta to see Mr Precious and his parents. Fairest enjoyed all the time she had playing with him. The boy loves his vehicles! We had a great time. Lots of laughing and visiting and reading to Mr P.<br />

Some folks loved embracing their Slytheriness! We bought wands and owls but no house robes. Some of those folks take things real serious. <br />

The Hogwarts ride was amazing. You are sitting on a bench and Hermione casts a spell on it and you go for a ride. Going through Dumbledore's office was too cool. I closed my eyes lots so ask Kaitlin about the spiders and the dementors.<br />

We rode lots of roller coasters a Universal and ate lots of fun food then we headed to Animal Kingdom. I took this pic as we were on the Safari ride and yes those guys are running right at us. Our guide stopped our vehicle and they decided to go on the curved path----whew! We all loved this ride.<br />

This was taken on our last day and it was very chilly and rainy. Please notice my fashion statement of the socks and sandals. My feet were so cold. It was in the high 60's to start the day and after the rain it dropped to the 40's. Marisa is holding Pandi in the carrier to keep them both warm. That is the Beast's castle behind us.<br />

We drove back to the spot where we got off the Trace and continued north. The green line is the Trace. Each black dot is a site on the Trace, some are just a sign telling about an event or a house that stood there, some are walking paths and some are overlooks. This day was our longest.<br />

At the end of day two we got off the Trace just west of Alabama and stayed the night near Pickwick Dam in TN. I have a nest of cousins in Savannah, TN and I remember eating at a restaurant near this dam when I was younger. <br />
<br />
Our trip started with very flat terrain and near the end of day two we are in rolling hills.<br />

Along the Trace many of the restrooms and information sites are built to look like a building from times past. Here is The Parkway Information Cabin near Jackson. <br />

The Mississippi Craft Center was such a fun stop near Jackson. The very kind lady who opened 15 minutes early just for us could not have been nicer. I should have written down her name so I could tell you to go see her! We bought several souvenirs and admired lots of art. They also have wonderful bathrooms. <br />

Kaitlin was usually our scout. She would run ahead and see if I could make the trek or if they needed to go and bring me back pictures. Kaitlin and Carl both got to 10,000 steps on their fitbits every day! Most of the paths I could walk.<br />

The view from the road we drove on differed all along the way. Sometimes we saw wide open spaces, sometimes we were in a canopy of trees, and sometimes the road was hugging the side of a hill.<br />

This is the half way point. On Wednesday, Thursday and Friday we saw maybe 10 cars total but on Saturday we saw tons plus lots of cyclists, runners, and walkers. We enjoyed having the road to ourselves so we could stop and take pics like this one!<br />

On one trip from Pine Bluff to Marietta, GA to take my mother home she requested that we drive for a few miles on the NT. I remember the beauty, the quiet and the history and that I wanted to come back. <br />
<br />
We left LR early on Wednesday and headed to Natchez, MS. I really wasn't sure what all to expect on our trip up the NT but it was not like anything like I thought it would be. The Trace is a 444 mile National Park.<br />

Our first day plan was to drive from Natchez to Jackson. There are over 100 stops on the entire Trace and we stopped by most of them. I was struck by the diversity of things we saw- Indian Mounds, Meriwether Lewis' grave, waterfalls, swamps, Confederate graves, a phosphate mine, several overlooks, picnic areas and several 'stands'. Stands were places where, as you were walking the Trace, you could pay $0.25 to sleep in the yard of a house and possible get a warm meal. What you don't see are traffic lights, commercial vehicles ( or rather you shouldn't), gas stations, motels, bill boards, or street lights.<br />

Here is some of the sunken Trace with Kaitlin getting in tuned with her inner Native America. She thinks that the Park system should have guides walk the Trace in Native American costume. She talks a good talk but if she had seen one she would have stayed in the van! <br />

This restaurant is called Bogie's. It is reservation only! Ours was for 9:00 pm. There is room for about 12 folks in the place at one time. It is in the back of another restaurant and they serve steak and sides. It was one of the best steaks I've even eaten. Andrew is not put off by what I consider shady places and this one looked shady to me and I was out of my comfort zone but the food was amazing. That was the end of our first day and I slept well that night! Saturday we went to the Museum of Fine Art. Pictures tomorrow !<br />

A few weeks ago Andrew asked if Carl and I could join him on a trip to Boston. He wanted to eat fun food, go see David Ortiz play a few more times for the Boston Red Sox and tour a few land marks. <br />
<br />
Andrew used the website thrillist Boston to get the names of restaurants plus the dishes we needed to eat at the restaurants. I love to eat at chain restaurants. Give me a Cracker Barrel any day so to go on this eating spree was outside of my box but for the love of a child a mother will do lots! <br />
<br />
To all the mother's of picky eaters- THERE IS HOPE! Andrew lived on hamburgers til he was 18. This was in spite of me offering and making him take a bite of everything Carl and I were eating when he was young. He promptly threw it up! I finally resolved that he was who he was. And now to see him trying all these new foods and eating and enjoying them!!!!!<br />
<br />
I am the type that likes to get to the airport about an hour before every flight. Carl and Andrew like to slide onto the plane. I'm learning to just breath deeply and go with the flow. What good does worry do me is what I was telling myself as Andrew got on the plane with a few minutes to spare. <br />
<br />
Below and above are a few of the things we ate. YUM YUM. I'll post tomorrow a few of our other adventures in Boston.<br />

We went on our second sunset cruise with Alec and Sonia. It was beautiful. We went all around Ono Island. We saw dolphins, lots of fun houses, and some beautiful boats. As the sun was going down I handed my phone to Sonia to get a shot of the sailboat. She got this great shot. I am still so impressed. I even got cards made with this on the front. I may even write you a note soon on one!<br />
<br />
<br />
We had a great week at the beach thanks in great part to Alec and Sonia. I told Carl that I am ready to stay two weeks next year!<br />

Ted, Tina, Tanner, Tatum, Tessa, Bob, Alec and Sonia came and spent the day with us. We did the beach, the lazy river, more of the beach, lunch at Lulu's and supper at our condo but most of all we laughed!!!<br />
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
One such laugh was a lady, who, using two huge inner tubes, blocked up the lazy river as she floated by in oblivion. It was pretty impressive. I was sitting on the side of the pool at the time and was watching. Alicia saw it too. She was ready to get in and turned to me and winked saying that she should do a cannon ball just past Miss Oblivious!! Me, being the terrible roll model said DO IT!!!!! Alicia just eased herself in the water. Soon the log jam was broken by someone else and the lazy river was flowing freely soon.<br />

William and Alicia brought a baby bath tub down to the beach each morning. Pandi slept in it, rested in it, and they filled it up one day and she splashed around in it. <br />

One day on the beach these two crazy girls gave me a beach massage. They used the sand to exfoliate my feet and legs and hands. They had all the spa talk down and kept me laughing. I had to slow Alicia down because she was about to take off all the skin on my leg but it was sure smooth when she was finished. <br />

One of my goals was to eat at the FloraBama yacht club twice. I love their smoked tuna dip and their fried shrimp- the breading is light and the hush puppies are wonderful! We sat outside and had our usual laughing good time. After supper Tanner and Kaitlin and Tatum were goofing around.<br />

I got a shot of all the T's on their boat. <br />

The last picture is our our whole group from Monday. Almost everyday our group changed and so did our adventures. I could get used to the Salt Life but I would want to do it with these people!<br />

<br />
When we went to the beach when our children were young Mrs Monroe's way of preventing sunburn was to entice us in to the beach house from the beach with a big breakfast/ brunch about 1030/1100AM. My children would wake up early and look out at the beach to see if they were related to someone on the beach, if so, they could gently wake me up and let me know they were headed out. Carl and I soon joined them. When the children were young after they ate they often were ready for a nap. We were encouraged to stay in until about 4 pm. My family never had a sunburn! I seriously thought everyone did this and was stunned when I was told other wise!<br />
<br />
We have adopted this plan. So far so good. Carl, Kaitlin and I were at the beach with William and Alicia and their daughters, ARose and Pandi. William is our nephew and his daughter ARose is the same age as Miss Adorable so we do lots of things together and our families vacation well together. Andrew, Taylor and James surprised with a visit later in the week.<br />
<br />
There were several other Monroe families at the beach with us too. Carl's has a brother who lives in Orange Beach- Alec and Sonia, Carl's sister and her family- Marian, Sherrell, Meredith and Alan were in a different condo. Nephew Charlie and his family stayed with Aunt Marian too. Ted and his family were staying with Alec and Sonia. We met up everyday at Alec's house. They also came to visit us. We all weren't able to spent the whole week together but had several days with us all there.<br />
<br />
ARose and Pandi were up early so we made a banana/peanut butter/honey/oat/milk smoothie, jumped into our swim suits and headed to the beach. We usually were the first one on our beach and greeted the man setting up the cushions and umbrellas. I never got his name but he sure had lots of hustle! He made sure I had complete shade as long as we were out there.<br />
<br />
After the beach we went to the lazy river that our condo had. I told Carl I needed one of those! Pictures tomorrow on that!<br />

My most wonderful mother made my dress. I couldn't find one pattern that I liked so she combined two. She made it completely out of sheets first so she could make all her mistakes there because pin holes always show in satin. I am still so impressed that she did it but then again I thought my mama could do anything! <br />

My father died three years before so both of my brothers walked me down the aisle. They were both reciting the words they were supposed to say under their breath as we walked..... our mother and we do...our mother and we do... this was their answer when the priest asked who gives this woman to be married to this man.<br />

Carl noticed that as we were driving into MS that there was no power. In the pouring rain we made it to our motel and checked in, in the dark. I am thankful that we got a room on the 2nd floor so I didn't have to walk up too many stairs. Carl checked on the power outage with his super spy powers....He checked the Entergy web site....you have this same super power too!!! Lights were starting to come on around us so he felt like ours would be on soon. We were only in the dark for about an hour and a half. We never got hot, what a blessing!!!! <br />
<br />
Here we are in the dark checking on the outside world! <br />

We stopped at a fresh fruit and veggie stand on our way down on Saturday somewhere in MS. We got tomatoes, onions, and strawberry jelly.<br />
<br />
We went through the tunnel in Mobile. Usually Kaitlin says that she wishes that they had installed windows in it so she could see out but this time Kaitlin was asleep so Carl and I had to say it!!!<br />

We went right to Carl's brother's house because we couldn't check in to our condo til 4 pm. Alec and Sonya live about 15 minutes from the condo we rented for the week. I love their view off their back porch. You are looking at Florida but the picture was taken in Alabama..... things like that mess with my mind!?! <br />

And the day ended with a beautiful sunset. I had everyone make up a list of beach vacation goals/plans/ dreams/expectations- we overlapped lots which was wonderful- eating at Lulu's, going to the beach, visiting with family. I wanted to eat at the FloraBama twice and I wanted to see a sunrise. Our condo was on the sunset side so I changed my goals to sunsets and was greatly rewarded nearly every night. No one minded at all eating twice at the FloraBama.<br />

<br />
<br />
I love AUBURN. I love the colors orange and blue, the people, the greeting War Eagle, the campus, the etc etc etc. <br />
<br />
I love to pray. If you are on my Christmas card list, you have been prayed for, if you are on my church directory, you have been prayed for, if you are in ministry that my church supports, you have been prayed for.<br />
<br />
When Andrew was at AUBURN he was involved in the campus ministry-RUF that is a part of our denomination-PCA. We have prayed for the PCA minister that is in charge of the RUF at AUBURN since 2000. We have prayed for several ministers in the last 16 years. Just recently Carl and I sent an encouraging message to the minister, Wes, who is the current PCA minister at AUBURN RUF. Wes immediately wrote us a thank you. I was very impressed!<br />
<br />
For my birthday this year Andrew and Taylor gave me a photo shoot with them in AUBURN during the A day weekend. Taylor had hired one of her sorority sisters, who is a photographer, to take our pictures. We brought our clothes, coordinated our outfits and were looking forward to it. A few days before our shoot, Taylor got a text from her sorority sister that she couldn't do the shoot but she offered Taylor another photography that she knew that was able to take our picture at the same time as the previous shoot was schedule. Taylor checked out the new photographer's photos and was pleased and said yes. Taylor told me the name of the new photographer, Nancy Simmons. I typed her name on Facebook to look at her pictures and I was stunned to see that I have three friends in common, Laura Dowling, Abbie Bailey and Cristina Green. All these are PCA friends of mine. I was curious as to how did they know both of us. Laura goes to church in AUBURN so I figured that Nancy must go to the PCA church in AUBURN. Abbie and Cristina are married to PCA pastors. Could it be that Nancy Simmons was married to Wes Simmons the RUF pastor at AUBURN?????? Indeed she is. What in the world. I couldn't wait to tell Nancy our connections. She was stunned enjoyed them as much as I did!<br />
<br />
Here is a picture for Abbie and Cristina and Laura. This is my new friend Nancy. I love AUBURN, pictures of family, praying for many folks and meeting some that I don't know and the PCA. We serve a great God who loves to lavish us with His blessings!<br />

I had a long list for The Odd Job Guys- their company.<br />
<br />
I needed three thresholds fixed to keep the wind from whipping in and maybe a few unwanted critters!!! Plus the molding in Kaitlin's bath needed some attention. But most of all I wanted/needed built in bookcases.<br />

This is the all done picture. I'm thrilled. The shelves on the right are repositional and the ones on the left are fixed. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Josh walked around my house measuring my books to get an idea on how tall to make the stationary shelves. Joel found a place under a window ledge by my new bookcases where the wind was whipping into the house. He sealed that up for us. What service!!!! </div>

All the books from my two free standing bookcases fit into one side of the new ones. I plan to have Carl help me resize the shelves and start filling up the adjustable side soon! I am so excited! It is the little things!</div>

Kaitlin caught the vision to lead this years as we drive away from the 2014 retreat. She was the driving force and I was her sidekick. Since I am the more vocal (loudest ) and the extrovert, I was the one upfront making announcements etc but Kaitlin is the one who had it all together on her laptop. She had a constant email conversation going with our speakers and worship leader so that we were all on the same page. She also worked tirerlessly on everything from getting door prizes to designing the logo to coming up with the craft two weeks before the retreat. My hat is off to Kaitlin! This retreat would not have happened without her hard work!<br />
<div>
<br />
<div>
As we were praying about the retreat and praying for a retreat committee we were led to such a great group of ladies that I am honored to call friends- Heather, Erin, Nancy, Jessi, Sandy, Marian, and Kim. They did their own tasks over and above what we asked and then gave 110% to everyone else. I saw them being used by God to bless so many!</div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Abbie Bailey and Allison Bradsher were our speakers. They are sisters in law and former church members of Covenant. The theme they chose was His Dwelling Place. Their lesson titles were God Makes A Way, United to Jesus, Practicing the Presence and Dwelling Forever. It was great to reconnect with them and sit under their teaching. They gave us a grand picture of our God and ways that I can connect with Him in my everyday life. </div>
<div>
<br /></div>
<div>
Julie Melucci was our worship leader. Kaitlin heard her on the latest Indelible Grace album. She sings and wrote the music for ' Come, O Come, Thou Holy Spirit' on the latest album. Julie also plays with Moriah Peters and they will be opening for Drew Holcomb and the Neighbors in the next few months. Moriah is married to Joel Smallbone who sings with For King and Country. Julie did an outstanding job leading us during worship and singing plus she was so warm and gracious. She enjoyed all the activities of the retreat. </div>

Carl enjoyed resting in the front decorations. His goal was to sit up there so still that we wouldn't notice him. Carl was our sound man and he recorded the speakers and worship leader.<br />

Other things you can do- drive through Chickfila or Starbucks and pay for the car behind you, go to the library to pay your fine and donate your change to the library- I've done this once and I felt like a rock star, they were so excited and it was $ .50, leave early enough so that you can let every car out into your lane- ok maybe not every car????, Get the idea? <br />
<br />
Or if you are my friend Paige, you can celebrate your daughter's birthday. She was born 4 years ago on the 29th so is she celebrating her 1st birthday or her 4th????<br />
<br />

So I heard about a new to me site called epantry.com I was encouraged to try them out because they were having a sale on Mrs Meyers products. I jumped on the site and got me a nice order ready and added stuff to my cart and then checked out- but the page never showed that I had checked out. I was confused and disappointed. What do the confused and disappointed do.... They jump on amazon.com and add stuff to they 'pantry box'. Amazon has this HUGE box that ships for 5.99 no matter what you put in it. They have a list of what food or household products you can add to said box. I love this because with my limitations this lets me shop from home for many things. I got lots of Mrs Meyers things-lots of cool scents. And then. A few days later I realized that my epantry order went through. So I have LOTS of Mrs Meyers stuff!!!! This is half my stuff. 😳 I have given Marisa several items. I plan to give a set of scents as my door prize for our upcoming Women's Retreat. Sandy is thrilled and is enjoying using lots of different scents.<br />

Now I have a cozy room and a large dining room and I love these changes!<br />
<br />
<br />
Have you made changes in the New Year? Resolutions? Goals?<br />
I'm a goal maker. <br />
<br />
Here are my goals for 2016 in no order-<br />
Write 91 letters- in honor of my mama. She would be 91 this year if she were living and she loved writing letters and reading<br />
Read 91 books- I'd love to read 50 that I already own and read 51 from library but alas this is something to strive for in the future as I have already seen things that jumped in my amazon cart and have made there way to my house since Jan 1. I plan to use Tim Challies Reading Challenge. <br />
Work for 3 hours a week on my counted cross stitch- I have three projects started<br />
Listen to 12 TED talks- do you have a favorite one?<br />
Learn to read a crochet pattern- I'm taking a class on craftsy<br />
Read a commentary on Job- that book puzzles me<br />
Go through every book we own and decide if we need to keep it or donate it- I have one bookcase that has crashed to the floor and I need to go through especially those books. On a happier note I plan to have some built-in bookcases in the next few months<br />
Pray through my Christmas card list<br />
Pray through our church directory<br />
Give gifts with ribbons and no strings- I have lately been convicted that I don't do this!<br />
Make 24 meals for others<br />
Keep on top of my verses that I have memorized and add more<br />
<br />
<br />
What are your goals/resolutions?<br />
I'll post the Dining room soon!<br />

On Monday of this week at 4 very AM our power went out. It is January and I know cold is all relative but soon that house grew cold. My very smart husband checked out a few things and found out that our main breaker needed to be flipped back. That worked for 2 hours and then we were plunged into darkness and coldness again. He flipped it again but even I know that can't keep happening. <br />
<br />
Carl found us an electrician and he came out yesterday. The bad news is that the breaker is bad and needs to be replaced, the rest of the bad news is that they don't make that breaker anymore so they have to order one. He recommended that we turn off our upstairs heat to give the breaker some relief in the chilly mornings when heat comes on in the whole house.<br />
<br />
Last night was the first night in Operation Keep the Power on. Now, I do sleep better when it is chilly but really chilly is well, really chilly. I slept with a hooded jacket it and I looked like I belonged to the sand people from Star Wars and I thanked God all night for whoever invented the electric blanket. I may have arthritis but I still have quickness when it comes to 'powdering my nose' in the middle of the night when it is so cold. I don't even think the covers had time to touch the bed before I was back in them. I do plan to buy a new/bigger rug for our bathroom because the bathroom floor was really cold but then again maybe that was what made me so fast?!?!<br />
<br />
When I woke up this morning it was 56 degrees upstairs. After I got dressed, in the blink of an eye, I decided to put my nightie and my hoodie under my covers so that tonight I'll warm them up with the electric blanket and then put them on. That sounds like a great idea in theory but I am also 57 years old and I am afraid that between now and tonight I am going to forget when my night clothes are!!!!! I am setting all kinds of reminders and if you want to text and remind me that might be good too.<br />
<br />
Where is Joanna Gaines when you need her? I'm ready for a her to fix up my place!BubblesandMoneyhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/18052062539330027902noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2609399430619915880.post-74916115281408477072016-01-09T11:56:00.002-06:002016-01-09T11:56:30.074-06:002015, the stomach flu and a charm braceletI love new things. New calendars, new list of goals, new journals, new books, new reading goals. I think you get the picture! I especially am enjoying them this year because I am ready to put 2015 behind us. It was a <strike>hard </strike> growing year for us. <br />
<br />
One of my friends shared that we often yearn for the mountain tops but valleys have lots of growth in them and are often very beautiful. I did see lots of growth and many blessings in 2015 and I am sure I will see more and more as the years go on.<br />
<br />
7 years ago we were headed home from a family vacation from the happiest place on earth- WDW. I came down with the mother of all stomach bugs. We left Valdosta, GA about 6 AM Eastern Time and my frequent stops to gas station and rest area bathrooms began about an hour later. It was a rainy day. I remember because we couldn't roll down the windows and my poor family that was in the back, well, bless their hearts.<br />
<br />
We did watch a movie called Hoodwinked on our trip. There was a scene in the movie where a mountain goat knew an avalanche was coming and he wasn't prepared. Kaitlin and Marisa could tell when I was about to have a shall we say a 'reversal of fortune' and to each other they would say 'There is an avalanche coming and we are not prepared!!!!' Long story short- I went thru all my clothes, clean and not clean and we had to stop at a motel in Tupelo, MS and my sweet family took my yuck clothes to a laundry mat and washed them while I was in a bed.<br />
<br />
When we recall this trip we laugh the hardest about the trip home. When our trip popped up on my Timehop app showing what we were doing 7 years ago I just smiled and thought about 2015. I am sure that soon we will be laughing about all that went on there too.<br />
<br />
A new day/ year/ beginnings are coming!<br />

Below are some of our Christmas ornaments. Some are older than I am. My friend, Cindy, said that when she decorates her tree it is like looking at a charm bracelet. You recall all the memories and that is so true!!! Some of the ornaments below cost .25 cents and were ordered from an offer on the back of a Frosted Flakes box in 1951. <br />

Notice the coats and hats. It was chilly especially in the shade. The water behind us is colored by glacier flour. That is the finely ground granite that is moved into the water by the glacier.<br />

We were all up early and looking out the windows. I knew that the cruise ships came in early. We were up in Uncle John and Aunt Elaine's room because they had an amazing view and then we saw our ship!!!!! UJ asked how we knew it was our ship? Kaitlin said that Disney ships have two smoke stacks to harken back to olden times like like like when the Titanic was sailing. WHAT says UJ?????? Why did you use the Titanic????? We quickly mentioned other ships that had set sail and made their journey safely. He calmed down then.<br />

Gpapa was one of the best games/ toy/ entertainment in the motel that we had. Miss Adorable loves to pretend to sleep and she even snores. She has to be under the covers to do this. G joined her and then Mr Wonderful would wake them up. It provided us all with many laughs. <br />

Every night we had chocolates and a newsletter telling us what the activities were going to be for the next day. We also got Happy Birthday buttons the first night for Carl and Kaitlin. On this cruise we celebrated Carl and Charles being 60. Kaitlin being 30. John and Elaine plus Gary and Lisa being married for 30 years. Lots to celebrate!!!!<br />

Below is one of my favorite photos of Mr W ever. He was singing and talking and I asked him what he was singing and I had my camera ready and caught his cute little personality when he looked around at me. Look at that little hand and then his face and expression. Forgive me, I am a shameless Bubbles.<br />

When we got to Vancouver we passed lots of snow!!!!! Our cab driver told us they were filming a Lexus commercial. Later Carl saw a lady in a red Lexus driving in the snow with lots of cameras filming. I'm thinking that maybe we will see it this Christmas.<br />

Here was the view from our motel. I am a lover of looking out the window wherever I am. This is a beautiful place for my looking. We ate supper in that building by the water with the grass on the roof. We were all ready for bed because we were so excited. Well, most of us were excited, some of us don't feel the magic....yet...but it is coming<br />

We ate lunch at the restaurant in the museum and someone really enjoyed the blueberries.<br />
<br />
<br />
We rested a few hours and then we were off to Pike Place Market. W and A love Peppa and her family and they brought hours of enjoyment. Marisa brought out this hat for W but Miss A decided that she needed to wear it around the motel room.<br />
<br />
<br />
Miss A will eat anything especially if it is not on her plate. She calls Gpapa 'G'. She loves eating whatever he eats. At Lowell's in Pike Place Market she shared <strike>ate all his </strike> Clam Chowder. The girl has a hollow leg!!!!<br />

Sunday morning at 6AM we went to the beautiful train station in Seattle for our trip to Vancouver. Penny ate her power breakfast of hot dogs and oatmeal! She rode for many miles on my arm rest as we looked out the window. I was in heaven. <br />
<br />
<br />
John and Marisa have had a hard year- moving, children, new job, life, etc. It was great to see them have so much fun.<br />

Carl and Kaitlin went to Goodwill in Seattle and got John and Marisa some new suitcases. The one we loaned them slowly fell apart as it made its way across country. It lost a wheel at the airport in LR and by the time it made it to Seattle, it had no wheels!!! It was also as big as a house so three smaller ones worked better. Aunt Elaine let us have some ribbon to set our black suitcases apart form all the others. I'm on the hunt for colorful suitcases.<br />

Next up, snow in Vancouver...<br />
