Hard to believe that number one son Jay will be 29 this Sunday; happy birthday Jay, we'll be thinking about you while we're on our cruise.
That's right, cruise. I got a really good deal with this man called Skipper, his first mate is Willy Gilligan, we're taking a three hour cruise, a three hour cruise...................
Heading out of Miami this weekend, coming back next Friday from a western Carribean tour. It's our first cruise so we'll see how we like it.
Meanwhile we're getting ready to celebrate independence and freedom. Let freedom ring.
Pop was in the hospital twice last week but is rebounding well and happy to be back at Crystal Bluffs; a place he considers home now, and that's a good thing. Dave will be down here next week to watch Bonnie and Clyde while we're gone.
Things found while looking for something else

The man seated right behind the piling is my father's father, in FL in the early 50's on a jungle cruise. The other shot is Pop and me from 1956. yes I know, you didn't think I was that old.

And here is another shot from many years ago; I'll date this one in the early 80's. No, it's from last year's famous Expo in Cleveland. I was going through their website and found it the other day.

More later, behave yourselves.
