Monday, June 26, 2023 I have been craving a burrito, so we made a date with Mike and Mary to meet at Nacho Mama’s in Stillwater for dinner. My burrito was good, but I ordered shredded beef, then after it arrived, I remembered I like the seasoned ground beef better. Keith said I can set […]
Sunday, June 25, 2023 Cheers to us! This is the 500th blog entry. I certainly never anticipated that happening. I thought we would write about Wales and be done, but then it was so much fun to do, I couldn’t imagine being done. I wasn’t ready to come home from Wales – I wasn’t ready
Saturday, June 24, 2023 Dinner in White was scheduled for today, but it was postponed due to rain. We had been going to go with a group of seven and Louise and Tom invited us all over to share our food in the comfort of inside their house. Keith said we should wear black, because
Friday, June 23, 2023 We went to see a funk, soul, rhythm and blues band at the Phipps Center. A college friend and a computer work friend both play in it, so it was fun for us to see them on stage. There is a little art gallery off the lobby that features a rotating

Tuesday, June 20, 2023 Home again, home again! We had an uneventful flight home. Even though I knew it would be, I was surprised how hot it is here. I have loved the cool Alaskan and Washington air. (I will love the hot air and cool pool tomorrow.) Alexander scooped us up from the airport
Monday, June 19, 2023 Kristine and Mike moved to Seattle when we moved to Woodbury, because Keith and Mike both lost their jobs when their company closed. I have often thought about if Keith had taken the job at Microsoft he was offered back then. I think we would be such different people than we
Sunday, June 18, 2023 We parked our little ship next to the Crown Princess. We took the Crown with my mom when we took our previous Alaska cruise. It was nice to see them next to each other. We visited the local raptor center where they rehabilitate birds. Once they get better, they are re-introduced
Saturday, June 17, 2023 Last full day on the cruise today. The morning was spent scenic cruising, continuing to look for wildlife. It was raining, so I took a nap for a while. As far as I know, no wildlife was spotted. After lunch, we went on a zodiac ride. We saw no big or
