Eating and Shopping

On Saturday we drove our cute dogs and our cute daughter to Logan.

We had lunch at Cafe Sabor. It is great Mexican food!

Then we were off to Casper's Creamery for FatBoy seconds and caramel corn.

Pepperidge Farm has great seconds too, so we stopped in.

Next stop--Gossner's for cheese and samples.


Then we stopped to visit Mom and Dad at Camperworld.

Eva and Sarah went swimming

while Mom and Dad enjoyed the barbeque.

We all enjoyed the outing.

and then drove home.

On Monday we shopped and ate some more--around town!

Dolls on Mother's Day

Rhonda discovered that Mom wanted her baby doll repaired. Mom got the doll when she was 8 years old (back in 1944). Rhonda took the doll to a local doll hospital for repair. She got all of us siblings to pitch in.
Here is Mom's MaMa doll in full repair, including a new dress authentic to the time--65 years ago.
We gave her the doll for Mother's Day. She was not surprised, but she was delighted!
Eva had the idea for each of us to bring our dolls to the party. It was fun.
Sarah has 2 favorites. Eva also has 2 dolls.
Rhonda and Eva had matching baby dolls (ordered from a cereal box) back in their youth.
Lisa is a doll lover from way back. She had the most dolls!



Rob was in Hawaii with the doll he still loves!






It was really fun to share doll stories.

Formal night is part of every cruise

On this 10-day cruise, we had 2 formal nights. It was fun!
Since we are frequent cruisers and members of the captain's circle,
we went to the captain's cocktail party.
Here is Peggy and Arthur
and Millie and Harry.
Formal dinners are always elegant (and delicious).
Here Sarah, Eva, and Peggy all dressed up.
Mom and Dad went formal too.
What a cutie!
Not a bad looking family!
Here's our whole travel party:
Harry, Arthur, Robert
Peggy Millie, Maurine, Sarah, Eva
Bon voyage!

Return to Review of Cruise--Jamaica

Jamaica was next.

We went to Dunn's River Falls.

Peggy and Eva climbed the falls.


Then we went to Mystic Mountain chairlift and rode over the rainforest.


It was a beautiful and plush city.
