Some Christmases are unforgettable:
When I was a sophomore in high school I got a beautiful wool dress with a turtle neck, and a new pair of ice skates;
The Christmas that I was expecting, Mother Gen gave us an entire layette for the new baby Laurie;
When Laurie was two, she asked Santa for a book, a truck and a talking doll, and that was all she wanted.
This Christmas was the most unforgettable of all the unforgettables:
************************
This is the Christmas that our children gave us a Caribbean cruise for our 50th wedding anniversary.
And the best part is that WE'RE ALL GOING !!!
Tom, Jana, Laurie&Chip and Dylan will be there too !!
And Dick and I will be in a grand suite!

This is the whole reason that we had to have a webcam in place in time for Christmas, because the family in Florida wanted to see us open the box with all of the clues! I was in shock for at least an hour afterwards, and I was tingling all over. Dick and I were both very emotional about this gift. Getting ready to go is going to be such a treat - we are so looking forward to this trip!
We had already had a wonderful Christmas. We love the treasure hunter book, and especially the tote with the original artwork by Mr. Dylan. There were so many wonderful gifts, we were already very mellow and satisfied after opening everything. Then Jana said it was time to call Florida, and she brought up the box from downstairs and turned on the webcam. WOW!
Dick, Jana and I visited Mother for about 2 hours this afternoon. We took her some food and three small gifts. She had a chance to call Fritz and wish him a Merry Christmas, and Jim called her earlier in the day, so she touched base with everyone this holiday.
But the big news of the day is our Anniversary Cruise on April 22, 2007! Stay tuned!
Dick thinks that this picture looks too much like deer in the headlights, so
This is the Official We'll Be Cruising Soon picture!
