Well, it has been nearly 14 months since we’ve posted. Now
it’s time to bring our blog back to life since we’ll be on our way for our next
cruise in one month.
This last year has been a pretty momentous one. Katie got her PhD in May so she’s now
Dr. Katie. My husband and I were
so proud watching her get “hooded” almost exactly one year ago. At the end of May my husband had a mild heart attack and a couple of stents put
in. August found Dr. Katie getting
a teaching position at a branch of the University of Massachusetts. She moved up to what turned out to be
the cold north. Her husband Stan
followed her in November. Who knew
there would be so much snow to come?
In January my husband fell and broke his arm like a
chandelier. After six hours of surgery and a plate with 25 screws to put
everything together, we’re getting back to sort of normal. Our cruise was in
question for a while when he was recovering, but we’re good to go.
Katie and I will be flying out from Boston and Washington
respectively on June 9th. We’ll
spend a night in London and then board the Emerald Princess for a cruise to the
Mediterranean for 17 days. We’ll
have a number of lovely sea days.
Along the way we’ll visit a few ports new to one or both of us. It will be nice to have another
mother-daughter adventure. We hope
you’ll enjoy it too.
