Thanks SHIRLEY!!

:sunny: SHIRLEY, I can't thank you enough for the beautiful flower basket! It DID put a smile on my face....a BIG smile! It is such a beautiful arrangement from such a beautiful person!

And, Thank you Barb & Tony for your hospitality and support! We had such a WONDERFUL time! Then....we had to come home:(

Just to fill everyone in......We DID get to go on our 3 day Wonder Cruise. Our son, Chris, stayed healthy, and we had a great caregiver for both him & my 95 year old aunt (that also lives with us). But - When we pulled into Port Canaveral we found out that they were desperately trying to reach us because a SEWER PIPE broke at the foundation of our house, and the first floor was being FLOODED! You can imagine it from there. But, at least I have memories of a great cruise to revisit in my head while our house is being restored!

This leads me to an idea....Let's start a thread of the "returning home stories" - that make you want to go back to the Happiest Place on Earth! Another think that has helped me, is that I BOOKED ANOTHER CRUIZE BEFORE I GOT OFF THE SHIP!! We now have a 7 day Western to look forward to 6/19/04!!

Shirley - Thank You again, and here are BIG HUGS!:wave:

I'll add to the kudos to Shirley...she is truly one of the sweetest and kindest people I know. Since I work in the same office with Barb, I know how beautiful the flowers are and how much they brightened her day.
I don't have any stories about why I wanted to return to the cruise ship, except that I just love it so much! I feel more at home in Florida than I ever will in Chicago.

I'm glad it all worked out (except for the sewer pipe-been there-what a mess!). We were all pulling and praying for you. Welcome home.
