Meeting my Birth Mother!

Well after 46 years I finally was able to meet my Birth Mother. Kim and I flew to Sacrament CA, meet Jo Kolp and her husband Ken. We toured Sacramento and even went to the home that my family lived in, in Fair Oaks. Jo and I have been talking for almost 2 years so we know each other already but was so good to finally meet. Ken and Kim were able to enjoy a Train and Air Space Museum while Jo and I visited. What a beautiful expericence for all of us! The weekend could not have been any better.

Caribbean Cruise

Well we did it again! I called Kim Wednesday Oct. 15th and askes if he wanted to go to the Caribbean on Saturday for 13 days. He said "Why not!" So 2 days later we were in New York and the next day boarding a Norweign Cruise Ship on our way to the Caribbean! How moving it was to go through the Harbor and see the Statue of Liberty and hearing Lee Greenwwod singing," I'm proud to be an American"! The first night the sea's were really rockin' and rollin'! Kim slept like a baby but not me! But we got caught up the next couple of days. We went to the ports of Dominican Republic, US Virgin Islands, Aruba, Belize, Honduras, Cozmel Mexico and the cruise ended in New Orleans. We saw some the the most beautiful places and beaches, also some of the poorest places. It certainly made us thankful for what we have. The 3rd night on the ship we were seated with a couple from Canada. Then spent the rest of the cruise eating, visiting, playing and exploring with them. It made to trip that much more enjoyable (they are pictured with us on the stairs). I think that this was one of our favorite trips we have taken. WE came back rested and tanned!
