Hello Dana,
I have enjoyed looking at slides and also reading your post.
I love you so much and yoru family is so special.
I am sorry to hear about M. Jenny not being well. She is such a blessing and never fails to stop and say hello when she is walking by me at church.
I will pray for her.
Thank you for sharing all your photo's with us.
I thought the food looked great on the ship. You both looked like you were having a great time.
Please enjoy the R&R while you are away. They are few and far between.
Larry has been on dialysis since 2003 and we have not been on vacation since he started. We went to PA. on time when the Seniors went to the Amish country but that does not count.
Love you,
Janice
