Thank Goodness we took Monday off!

Our flight landed in Chicago, we hustled straight over to our departure gate, stopping neither for food nor bodily functions, and made our flight to Portland just before they shut the door. Thank you for all your good wishes, because the whole trip back home was lucky like that. Things could have been bad, but they turned out OK! We got to bed by midnight thirty, slept without moving till the kitties woke me at 7. I got up, fed them, cleaned litterboxes, and went back to bed. Finally, at 11 we rolled out and started trying to deal with the day. It's a nasty shock. I can still feel the ship rolling. There was no baked apple for breakfast. And the suitcases are full of dirty laundry. No one is picking up after me or refilling the ice bucket or making my bed. The rain is cold, and the views are not sunny. I have been SO spoiled!!

So her are a few photos from the cruise.

Here is Idad. You can see why he is so much fun to be around.

Ababe, with me on the far left.
