i still can't believe it. it seems that when dh was in texas in september his nephew and his wife told him about this cruise that they were going on. both of his sisters are going on it too. they wanted us to go and he said absolutely no!!!!
then after dfil's b-day party we were all sitting around and they brought it up again. this was the first that i had heard that he had been asked to go. i said i would go in a heartbeat but dh still said no way.
the next morning his sisters came down to their dad's house where we were staying with all the information about how much it would cost, what cabin we would stay in because it would be on the same deck as all of them. we could be at the same table as them for meals and so on. finally he gave in and told me to go and book it, my mouth just about hit the floor.
so, in april we are going on the high seas, lol
our son in law thinks dh has lost his marbles. dd has a hard time believing her daddy actually said he would go. i'm having a hard time believing it myself.
the trip was very long and hard but we had a good time. dfil enjoyed his party and loved having us stay with him. Thanksgiving at my mom's was nice too. dd was a friend of her's from junior high school she had not seen in over 20 years and i got together with a couple of friends of mine from high school.
i also added three new coffee mugs to my collection, so the trip was a success.
it's good to be home again and was great to sleep in my own bed last night.
hope you all had a wonderful Thanksgiving.
have a great day.
hugs

I know you will have a wonderful time. I didn't take a cruise. I came home from England on a ship from Liverpool to Montreal, Canada. It was fun.


Thanks for the call Ellen I enjoy hearing from you. Hope next time we might beable to see eachother again.


Have a great week

I can't imagine your dh going the rest of this marriage without you speaking to him because he said "no" (lol). Whatever his issue is, I hope he overcomes it by the time you set sail and the both of you have a wonderful time.

I'm glad the trip was good for you and family. Will you be making the same trip for Christmas?

Oh wow Ellen!!! How great is that!! I can't believe your DH said yes to that either. That man sure does love you. You are going to love it...I hope. I know I do! I've never been so pampered in my whole life...it's easy to get used to. Just go easy on those Mud Slides...they're not included in the package deal! LOL So where are you cruising to? Do you know yet? The Southern Caribbean is my favorite.

You are one lucky Ladybug.
