We are taking the HAL shop Oosterdam and leaving just before Christmas. Here's a local article about the Carnival ship that has all the latest news. She should arrive here late tomorrow.<br /><br />http://www.signonsandiego.com/Magehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17333086721654817750noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362192907007766017.post-30149250087592994492010-11-10T06:53:58.765-08:002010-11-10T06:53:58.765-08:00Dear Mage,

I know you have booked a cruise to Mexico but didn't know when you were going.<br /><br />All the news of the Carnival ship being adrift without power had me hoping it was not your cruise I was reading about. Two ocean-going tugs are bringing her back to San Diego now, and I am very happy you and G are not aboard.Nancynoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6362192907007766017.post-82865792067861867492010-11-10T06:32:21.236-08:002010-11-10T06:32:21.236-08:00So complicated and unexplainable the twists and tu...So complicated and unexplainable the twists and turns of our lives.

The problem with old pictures is that often we DO know what the end was, and we can't warn them beforehand just as you had the urge to do.

My mother's cousins are uncovering pictures we never knew existed, including some undoubtedly a hundred years old. And my mother took numerous pictures of her "funny-looking first born."<br /><br />But I only know of <i>one</i> baby picture of my dad, and no one in the family took it. Little kids in those days played in the street if there was no yard. A newspaper reporter asked my grandmother if she could take a picture of dad, about three years old, sitting in the middle of the unpaved street...<br /><br />I guess it was some kind of article about how the city needed parks for kids to play, so they wouldn't have to play in the road. <br /><br />Dad grew up an admirable man anyhow, a wonderful father. I've written about him a lot, 'cause we still miss him. He would have been 101 this year.l'empresshttp://l-empress.liscious.netnoreply@blogger.com
