Now, What Was That Plan??

I know what you're thinking. Not because I'm psychic, but because I am having the same thoughts. Mainly, "I thought she was going to stay current." Well didn't we all think that ...

I'm not sure where the plan went awry. Maybe when I was packing to go out of town. Maybe when I went out of town. Maybe because the older I get, the quicker the days seem to pass.

Oh well, here we are again. And here we are going to try again. Because what's the point of having a goal if you don't keep at it?

LaLa Can Still Do It!!

Today we went to Disney Springs to check it out. As you can see, I can still do what needs to be done - even if it involves getting three children from Spot A to Spot B. LaLa can still gitterdone (it may not have been pretty, but it was functional!)!!

Today's blessings include: fun at Disney Springs; happy times for everyone!

The Plan. The New Plan. The "It's Gotta Work" Plan.

Yes, I know. Today is actually today. And there's a big ole gap between today and my last post. Which brings me to my latest plan to catch up. Interested? Okay, so here goes ...

My plan is to resume blogging (hopefully) every day. That way, I don't get any further behind. But what about all those days and days (which is actually almost two months of days) that have no blog post?

Well, I'm going to catch up on those. Hopefully, every day that I actually do a current post (which hopefully and should be every day), I will catch up on those missing days. Will they come in order? Nope. So how will you know which days are caught up? I'm planning (because I do like a plan) to list the "catch up" days at the bottom of the post under the "Thankful Today For ..." section. Because for every day that I get closer to being caught up, I will truly be thankful!

Back In The USA!!

There's something about returning home to the USA on July 4th. When flying home from Vancouver, you actually go through customs in the airport. In Vancouver. And once you've cleared customs, you walk through a door that says, "Welcome To The United States." In the airport. In Vancouver. So you're in Vancouver and in the United States too. Pretty cool!

We got everyone through customs and technically into the USA without any problems. Then we waited awhile for our planes to arrive and leave. Lynnette and Lindley were headed to Dallas for a visit with Grandmom and Grandad. The rest of us were headed to Nashville, although not necessarily on the same plans (no shocker there). All in all, it has been a good trip. Now, when to return ...

Luckily this was not for sale ...

Nor was this ...

Snacks were for sale, so we got some for the ride home.
Nashville, here we come!!

Today's blessings include: no problems going through customs; safe, smooth ride home; airport fun in Texas; seeing the fireworks in Nashville as we landed

Our Final Sea Day!

The last sea day is always bittersweet. I'm always glad to be headed home, but kinda sad to be leaving Alaska. The scenery on the way back to Vancouver is as beautiful as it is on the way to Alaska, so it's always a nice ride. Sometimes we'll pass a cruise ship on its way to Alaska. Sometimes we might see a whale. It's a great way to end a cruise - since it has to end anyway.

Today was the day to "meet the princesses" in the lobby. Lindley wasn't all that interested, but we got her photo book autographed, too! Apparently the princesses were very interested in Everley's dress!

Today's blessings include: meeting the princesses one last time; saying goodbye to our serves and room stewards; watching the scenery as we sailed back to Vancouver
