Was that a Dream?


We returned from our trip in staggeringly good health. I haven’t the faintest idea about weight — we don’t own a scale — but I know how I felt thanks to Tracie’s superbly nutritious, varied, and yummy meals. The visual feast alone was the stuff of museums! Beautiful! Behind all that was impeccable planning, storage, timing, prepping for precision presentation with clock-setting timing. That was just the food — to include the garden in the whaler (which ingenuity melted me): there was “housekeeping,” the deck work, her knowledge of the boat — what else? What couldn’t she do? It was a lot of work all day long. I can’t tell you how much it meant to me to see Tracie sit at the table each night, finally relaxing, and smiling her beautiful smile. Day well done. Again and again.

I could tumble on having left out a lot of other joys and admired aspects of our cruise, but will stop with a thanks to three talented individuals and dynamite team for a very wonderful week. Now we are thinking of Alaska with a whole new eye that does not include several generations of our own family, at least first time.
Stand by. Which trip to do?
