I practically live surrounded by water. Last week I shared a picture of the lake just south of my house. Puget Sound is just a few miles to the west, and Lake Washington is to the East and South. Back in 2016, we went on a cruise to Alaska, and I posted numerous photos of …

Sunset…An End, and a Beginning
The evening of the first day of our cruise to Alaska aboard the Crystal Serenity was beautiful, and clear. The ship left Vancouver BC just as the sun was setting. We stood at the rail of the Promenade Deck and watched for long minutes, as the sun set over the channel. We knew when we …

Hillsdale does a big cruise every summer, and this was our first time. There were "Seminars at Sea", with noted speakers, including …
