Ann, Don't feel bad about forgetting my last name. I can't recall your's either. I don't even know if I ever asked you for your last name just like I forgot to ask for your phone number. It was hot at camp but we got to go to the pool every day plus we were in air conditioning for many activities . Also our cabins had air conditioning. The older camp doesn't have air conditioning but we were at the newer camp with the older girls.

Hi Ann, I heard from Hans again this morning. He is starting cleaning duty on the ship. They call it cranking. I guess he will do this for three months. He will have some liberty while in port. He said he and a friend are going whitewater rafting this Saturday. He also is mailing home a package from Australia. Hans is a very giving person. Well take care, Kim

Hi Ann, Heidi and I are back from the camp. We heard from Hans Sunday. He is in Australia near the Great Barrier Reef. They are in port on liberty right now. How cool is that! We know where he is and I have been able to look at newspaper articles about the ship. In fact they are going to let 500 people tour the ship. I am so jealous because all I have seen of Hans' ship so far is photos. Some day I'll see the ship in person. I read that the city where they are in port will have a big Fourth of July celebration. The area gets many tourists. I hope you have a great day.

Hello Ann, I've been home this week but the week before I helped with our VBS in the morning. Next week Heidi and I will be helping at Lighthouse Christian Camp in Smithville. Pray for me as I will be working with young girls. Most of the counselors are in their 20's so they have more energy than me. My age is probably closer to the girls' grandmothers' age LOL. Where do you go to church? I know Justin will look quite handsome in his dress whites. We haven't seen Hans in his dress whites yet. His ship was in port for over a month but they are out again. He called us while he was in port and emailed us quite a bit He explored Sasebo and hiked a mountain in the area with another sailor. If you like to give me your phone number I could contact you some time. I believe you know our last name and can get a hold of me that way. I still like to meet you sometime to visit, maybe at The Way with Coffee. The last time I visited at Tech, I realized I didn't get your number. Well, take care, Kim

Hi Ann, How are you today? I haven't talked to you in awhile. Hans called us Friday morning. Fortunately he called early as we were packing to go to the Smoky Mts. for the weekend. Burt has some vacation days he needs to use before June is over, so he took last Friday off. We spend Friday in the mountains and Saturday we went to Dollywood. We have season passes so we want to get our money worth out of them. The weather was beautiful Saturday. How is Justin doing? I knew you were going to see him in June. Hope everything is going well with you.

Good Morning Ann, I am finally getting back to you. The cruise was nice I only wish we were on a longer one. It was two nights and one day, We had a rain storm on the one day we were in Nassau. It did clear up in the afternoon and that was good. We went on a glass bottom boat tour in the rain to a coral reef and dodged the rain afterwards while shopping in the straw market. They sell more t-shirts than straw bags now and other items. We went to different jewelry stores and picked up the freebies they offered trying to get you in their store to buy their jewelry. I did upgrade a free small blue sapphire to a gold pendant. Of course we paid for the pendant but I already had a ring at home so a necklace worked for me. We bought some t-shirts when we were at the straw market. The sun came out in the afternoon while we were shopping. Afterwards we were tired, walked back to the ship, went to our room to put our bathsuits on, and then went up to the deck by the pool to enjoy sitting in the sunshine. Personally, If we did it again I would go for a longer cruise so if it was raining one day you probably have some nice days in there too. When we got back in port in the morning in Ft Lauderdale we went to the airport to get our rental car. We drove to Ft. Myers to visit my brother and his family. We spend the night at their home and returned the car at Ft. Myers' airport and flew home Saturday afternoon. We had a nice visit with my brother. They had bought an older home and had completely remodeled it and this was the first time we saw their home. The place is gorgeous!

Hi Ann, We arrived home from our cruise Saturday evening. We had a good time. I'll tell you more later.

Ann,
I'll tell you all about the cruise when we get back. I'm thinking we may need to spend Tuesday night in Nashville or Lebanon so we can get to the airport on time. Our flight leaves at 5:30 am! We would have to leave the house Wednesday morning by 2:00 am to make sure we were there on time to go through security and then catch our flight. I don't want to so tired before we even get started on our cruise.
