cctn Posted August 9, 2013 #676 Share Posted August 9, 2013 I'll be meeting both Chris and Wendy in November, on the Allure. Have yet to see them in person but I feel I know them from the Forums. I've only met Wendy - wonderful gal and you will just love her - Chris is on my Quantum roll call (and so is Wendy) and I can tell he is a super nice person too - You will be with them before me -- !!

Kiwis Afloat Posted September 13, 2013 #689 Share Posted September 13, 2013 Hi everyone, I hope all is well with each of you. Tom47 - that trip to Ireland sounds wonderful. My dad was Irish and I would love to take a trip there. Beshears - 7 boys! Phew! Since I last posted, things have been moving for us. I mentioned that my DH had been made redundant. Well, he now has a permanent position again (began as a contract). He is really happy and it is a role that he loves. He is off for a week to Hong Kong and China, tonight. But, bigger news that that - our daughter's boyfriend has asked for our blessing to marry her. He will propose to her next weekend. We are very excited. I have never had to plan a wedding before and I imagine that will have its challenges. :eek: We are still in wintery weather here with lots of rain. I hope you all enjoy your weekend.

beshears Posted September 23, 2013 #692 Share Posted September 23, 2013 Oh my Tom, your grandfather had 18 children? Was he married more than once? I would feel sorry for the woman if she had 18, but that couldn't be any worse than the Duggers who are on TV with 19 I believe. :) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

beshears Posted November 12, 2013 #698 Share Posted November 12, 2013 Carol, you said you were the only child, and your husband was from a family of 10, well that is almost like me. I was an only child (half brother lived elsewhere) and married a man with 6 siblings, which made 7 children. It was hard for me to get used to it, but I did. We had 3 sons, and now have 15 grandchildren. When all of the Beshears family get together, there is probably 100 - 150 now, starting with us over 50 years ago.:) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nisky18 Posted November 16, 2013 #699 Share Posted November 16, 2013 I'd love for there to be more on this board about cruising for us who are 55+. I'll be cruising on Carnival's Splendor in January 2014 which will be my....mmmm, possibly 10th cruise but my FIRST as a single adult. I'm taking my daughter and her friend but it's doubtful they'll want to spend much time with ME. It doesn't matter though as I'm a sociable adult and look forward to meeting people. The Roll Call boards and various discussion threads are a good way to talk with others who share the love of travel. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
