Me and Wil at the Captain's Dinner on Carnival Spirit in Alaska
Me and Wil at the Captain's Dinner on Carnival Spirit in Alaska

Wil and I celebrated our delayed honeymoon on an Alaska cruise August 31st through September 5, 2007.  We had an awesome time!  It was Wil, Max, and Titan’s first cruise; and my third (the first two were with Sippi).  We look forward to the day when we can do it again.  We took this cruise through Damar Travel.  There were 63 people and 21 dog guides in our group.  Carnival Cruise Lines provided excellent service as far as accomodating the visually impaired passengers.  All three of my cruises have been with them; and our future cruises will also be with them.

Mississippi sunning himself in the back yard on January 26, 2001

This is a picture of Mississippi ‘Sippi’, my first Leader Dog.  He was issued to me on November 3, 1994; and died on January 21, 2002 of lymphoma at nine and a half.  He was an awesome dog!  I believe he is reincarnated in Wil’s current Leader Dog, Max.  They look alot alike in that they have very similar personalities, are very strong (physically and in will power), stubborn,and very loving.  If Max is not Sippi’s reincarnation, then he sure channels Sippi’s spirit often.  He has been gone for seven years; but is never far from my heart.

Me with my new blue Honda Civic on August 31, 1989 before I drove it off the lot.

This is a picture of me the day I purchased my one and only new car before loosing most of my eyesight.  Iwas able to drive for 11 years before my retina disease showed up in 1993.  The last time I drove my car was to the gas station to fill it up before going to the hospital for retinal surgery on October 23, 1993.  I gave the car to Rosy as she was in college.  It was an awesome car; and I still miss driving it today.

Max and Titan play tug-a-war with a woobie on the bed in Augusta hotel room on July 18, 2008.
Max and Titan play tug-a-war with a woobie on the bed in Augusta hotel room on July 18, 2008.

The boys love each other.  They love to tug on woobies.  Sometimes this results in a heinous murder scene with woobie guts strewn everywhere.  It still amazes me how much fluffy woobie guts fit inside one of those creatures along with its squeaker.  The duck in the picture did not live to see St. Petersburg.

Titan and Max in the back of car – ready for action

Titan and Max wait patiently in the back of a friend’s car while gas and goods were purchased for a day at John’s Pass.  My sister and niece visited for Thanksgiving in 2007.  On this day, we ventured to John’s Pass to shop; ate at the Friendly Fisherman; and enjoyed a beautiful sunset on the Gulf of Mexico beach.

Wil plays the '24' drinking game for Season 7 Episode 3.

Even though Wil cheated while I was gone to the mall today (watching episodes 3 and 4) , he played the ’24’ Drinking Game tonight for Season 7 Episodes 3 and 4.  We had 8 beers each for episodes 1 and 2 last night and 9 each for episodes  3 and 4 tonight.  I actually topped him and had 10 tonight.  It’s a good thing it only happens once a week from here on out; every one might think we are lushes.  LOL!!!  After all, we live on the edge… always.
