Dear Sari and Nikolas~
Hai and Ya'sou! Miita kuuluu? Kiitos hyvaas!
I am wondering if you are back from your (free, all expenses paid) trip to Alaska yet; if not, I hope you both are having a marvelous time, and I hope that all is well with you and Nikky! I am still a little jealous of you; I wish I could be right there with you on the high seas! *GRRR!* LOL
How have you both been feeling? Have you had any seasickness encounters during the duration of your cruise? I pray and hope not; being seasick is NOT fun!! When we went on our cruise to Alaska last year, I was seasick for a while, but then Bill got me some seasick patches, and they ended up doing the trick! But those stupid things made me so drowsy! LOL I slept a lot on the ship! LOL I was a real barrel of blurred activity...NOT!! LOL And then Bill got sick upon our arrival into Alaska, and he ended up having to go to the Emergency Room after suffering an asthma attack, and then our cruise got suspended for a few days thanks to inclimate weather and ship problems; our cruise did NOT start off very well, but it ended up going the other way, and once the problems stopped, we ended up having a marvelous time! We are more than ready to go back to Alaska, which we will ALL be doing next year; and...we canNOT WAIT!! WHEE! LOL
How did you enjoy the Alaskan sights? Did you see the Northern Lights? I hope you did! I bet they were a treat for you, Nikolas! Should prepare you for your time in Finland; speaking of Finland, are you leaving after you get back, or are you going to wait a while until you recover from your cruise? I have something that I am going to send you guys, but I don't know if I should do so just yet because I don't know when you are leaving for Finland! So I will wait! What was your favorite part about your trip, and did you take lots of pictures? Did you get anything? I hope you had a super time there in Alaska, and I hope that the Alaskan people treated you very well! They are among the nicest people we have met during our travels! We are so looking forward to returning to Alaska next year!
Sari, how have you been feeling? I know lately your multiple sclerosis and your fibromyalgia has been giving you no END of grief! I have been praying for a healing for you, and I have been praying that your symptoms ease off, so you can return to the happy, active person you once were prior to your getting sick. I know being sick is no fun! But you are lucky to have a good caregiver in your husband! He definitely is one of a kind! :) (And he is cute too! LOL)
Well, I am going to take the kids shopping for some more back to school supplies, so I will go now. I also may take them out to lunch and to a movie if they behave themselves! Good thing Bill is with me! LOL Don't think I could tackle watching out over 53 kids all by myself, you know?? LOL Take care, and do write soon! Love and miss you both!
God bless you two, and hope your cruise was all that you dreamed of--and much more! I am dying to hear all the delicious details about your Alaskan Adventure!! *GRRR* (Feeling a twinge of jealousy here...LOL)
(((HUGS))) and much love, your friend in America, Louisiana Mayrah. :)
Had to laugh at Louie's "I was a real barrel of blurred energy...NOT!!" LOLOLOL And to be able to laugh at taking care of 53 kids, she MUST be Supermom...LOL
An excellent write--enjoyed! And that pic...ohhhhhhhh...LIGHTS!! LOL
