Coming Up: September 28th

September 28th is my dear Rich's birthday .. I'll be sending him a message on a helium balloon just like I did last year, and on Valentine's Day and the anniversary of his death and at Christmas. I thought I'd post a few photos of him taken on our cruise to the Inside Passage, Alaska just six months before he died. This one is my favorite .. it's taken on our cabin deck as we entered Glacier Bay.

Because of his lung problems, we had to choose our on-shore excursions carefully but we had a great trip in a tour bus around Ketchikan. This was taken shortly after we landed .. we were walking around the harbor shops and found a bench in front of the stuffed moose and a kind passer-by took our photo.


This was taken on our trip around Skagway .. we really enjoyed our Norwegian Cruise Lines cruise. It was touch and go for us because Rich had just been prescribed oxygen on a daily basis and we didn't have enough time to arrange to have it put on board .. so we decided to go as planned because we may never have the chance again .. and as it turned out, that was the right thing to do.
