My Sheba girl

This is my most cherished cat Sheba! I love her with all of my heart!!!!

Sheba is the sweetest cat I can possibly imagine! She will lay in my arms for hours like a baby and paw at my hand and give me sweet kitty kisses.

When I look at Sheba, my heart just swells up with unconditional love!! I can't imagine my life without her!!

Sheba is getting pretty old now. She is at least sixteen years old. I got her in April of 1995, so I've had her for fourteen years, and she was at the very least already two years old. She has been the best cat in the world!! I hope she will be with me for a long time still. She is a dear, dear animal.

Cruise #2

Well, there were only two of you who responded to my previous blogs, and you both asked for more pictures...so here are some more. And by the way, thanks to both of you who responded! Big hugs to you!!! Above is when were were up on deck as we approached Victoria, BC. We were up on deck early, and it was very very cold, and I then remembered I brought a snow cap with me that I had bought when Aunt Jann and Uncle Ken moved to Big Bear. I'm glad I took it on this trip...cute huh? LOL!! I joke that this was the cutest I looked on this trip, hahahaha.

I sure enjoyed the Butchart Gardens in Victoria!! Sure wish we had more time there!!

My good cruising buddy Bonnie learned that I only want my picture taken from the waist up. I was always glad when she took one mostly of my upper body area and NOT of the hips! hehehe

Here is another "professional" one they took. I liked that I could hide those hips behind this sign. lol!

I posted a pic of myself and our head waitress, but here is one of our wonderful assistant waiter "Art". He was such a sweetheart!! I'll post more in a day or so. There's LOTS of pics!! Thanks to those who come by my blog and leave comments. There aren't many who stop by my blogs and take the time to read and comment. I guess I should advertise more that I'm a blogger! tee hee! LOVE YOU GUYS!!!

Carnival Splendor and Canada

This past week I went on a 7 day cruise on the Carnival Splendor. I had a wonderful time!!


Here above is our wonderful head waitress Ni from Indonesia. She was the best waitress we could have asked for! She was always all smiles, as was her assistant waiter "Art."

We visited Victoria and Vancouver, BC. They were absolutely beautiful!! We got to go to the Butchart and Butterfly Gardens. This picture was actually taken in Vancouver at one of the stops on the tour.

This may look like one of the gardens we visited, but it's actually in Vancouver right near the Lion's Gate Bridge. Tulips seemed to be thriving there right now!

One cool thing they had on the ship was proffesional photography on the "Elegant Evening" nights. This is one of the pictures from that night that I bought.

My sweet roommate Bonnie and I had a great time going around the ship and taking pictures.

As you can see we had a lot of fun taking pictures at various areas on the massive ship! We took so many pictures, there's not nearly enough time to post them all.

Thanks to my sweet friend Lura I had this opportunity to take this fun vacation....thanks Lura!!!!!!!

Here was our first day on board. We actually hadn't even left Long Beach yet, but we were ready for some photo ops!! It was a great time! Maybe I'll have to do an additional post and put some more stories and pictures up. :)

CRUISE!!

Just thought I'd put it out there that a week from today I'm going on a 7 day cruise with some friends from church! We're leaving out of Long Beach and the port stops are going to be San Fransisco, Seattle WA, Vancouver and Victoria in CANADA!! How fun is that!!? Thanks Lura for asking if any of us could come! And thanks to my mom for offering to pay for it!! I am sooo excited!! Aside from Long Beach, I've never been to any of those places and I am so thrilled to be going to see them! It's so cool because my friend Lura asked me about going today and we leave in a week! I'm so glad I don't have to wait a long time before going. It's so cool! And Lura was able to get a great deal for me and all who is going. Yay!!!
