The Alaskan Cruise

Tomorrow my husband and I go on our Alaskan Cruise. This is the first cruise I have been on other than the one that brought me, my dad and mom and my brother to North Vancouver from London, England. We later moved to Vancouver, but that is history. Right now about our trip. We're flying out to Vancouver where we will get the ship and go along the inlet, take in the sites, and then return to Vancouver in seven days.

We will then visit our relatives there including my brother for two or three days at which time, we will take the plane back to Manitoba. We will be taken quite a few pictures and I will try to post some here.

Some Authors Get The Help!

I just learned from my husband that I should really love Harry Potter because the author had a hard time as a single parent, she is an excellent writer, and that she was only rejected once. Oh yes and the publishers were so kind to help her with editing her book and she thought of the idea while riding in a train and had the whole seven books already decided, plus much of the plot.
Well she was a teacher before and that is a plus. You work in a profession such as being a doctor, a lawyer, a journalist, and teacher you are bound to not have many rejections. Of course writing about magic helps. That reminds me, except for one of those Sword and Sandal Movies, and the Bible plus sermons, no one has told much about Simon the Sorcerer, you know, the one who tried to bribe Saint Peter to give him the Holy Spirit. I can just see Simon the Sorcerer announcing his next trick while a beautiful woman in a short tunic, fastened on one shoulder.
"And now," he says, "I will suspend the moon by two ropes, but first I shall introduce my beautiful assistant, Lydia!" I was waiting for that line. It never came.
I saw the Harry Potter movies and I can tell you that it is hard to be a wizard. All the utensils rise in the air, they try to escape out the door, you have to watch for flying ghosts, not to mention cribbage and falling off a broomstick. By the way, what if they are caught in a forest fire? The Broomstick goes boom! Guess they should switch to electric brooms, but then there is the chance of being struck by lightening.

My New Cellphone

Actually it is my first and possibly my only cellphone. I have been saving up for it well even before I finished paying for my computer. Have not turned it on yet except in the store when I bought it. Evenings after six are free.
We already have a land line and am not getting rid of it. However when we go on our cruise and cannot get to a phone, I can use it. When we go to Great Britain sometime in the future (at least a couple of years) I can use it. Just have to find out what sims cost. Anyway it is a Sony Ericsson one of the best. Unfortunately it did not come in fushia or pink, but who's complaining? Black's good and it is a good camera phone as well.

Joined MyLot

Actually I joined about three months ago. It is just that I have been busy working those ptrs. Now I can do what I like: write. It is fun answering questions, asking world shattering questions such as "is the money you get per post based on the length of the words, sentence structure, or relevance of the subject." Now as soon as I get rid of my ptrs, I will post on the other paid to post sites I joined. Oh and my grandchild should come any moment now. Looking forward to that.
