Marie, I just have to tell you that you have exquisite taste! You always look so stylish and elegant. Your husband is one lucky man!

On a separate note, I have a question for all of you; I'm looking for some advice. In December of last year my brother passed away at the age of 54 from heart failure caused by all of the cancer treatments he received as a teen. It was fairly sudden and very tragic; he was an incredible man and one of my best friends. We are taking his widow on a cruise at the end of June to try and give her some smiles; she has been completely devastated and lost since his death. They were married for 30 years. Anyway, it has been my routine to buy gifts for all the ladies sailing with me to celebrate our cruise; last year it was cruise ship Pandora beads. They were a huge hit! I would like to do something special for my sister-in-law for this cruise, as she has never cruised with us before. Do any of you have suggestions on something special that I can get for her that would be meaningful and would remind her how much we love her and are there for her? I thought about a spa certificate, but I'm just not sure. I sure could use some suggestions!

Marie, I am beyond disgusted that anyone had this kind of audacity. You have been nothing but generous and sweet here, offering us goodies that many of us could never hope to wear. Please don't let one rotten individual make you feel bad. The rest of us are blessed to know you!

Good morning ladies,

 

Hope everyone is doing well :). I am still pissed at the thieves.The bank is sending me a new card and investigation the matter.

 

I have too many things to do today. I will try to post some items later.

 

Have a great day everyone.

This is just awful! I am so sorry you are having to spend time dealing with this. I don't know what the answer is, but it just seems like nothing is safe or easy anymore. Hopefully this won't take up too much of your time.

Other than that, I hope you have a great day!

Good morning,

I received the floral gown yesterday; all I can say is, WOW! It is stunning. It fits me beautifully, except for the fact that I am not as "blessed" as Marie is! I am going to have to find a good padded strapless bra to help me where mother nature did not :) Now to shop for the perfect shoes!

Thank you again, Marie. Your thoughtfulness and generosity are so very appreciated!

Is the floral gown still available? I would love that for my upcoming cruise!

I guess I'm in the minority here, but I would never consider a room without a balcony. One of my favorite things to do is to go out on the balcony in the early morning with my coffee and watch the sea go by. It is such a wonderful way to start the day!

I have a tremendous amount of "cruise dresses" that I am going to get rid of. ALL heavily beaded (they travel well, even though they are heavy). Size 6-10, depending on the manufacturer.

 

Most are reds, oranges, silvers. I have one black and silver that I absolutely love but the shoulders have these huge shoulder pads to support the material and I have never taken the time to get them out. Looks kind of dated with the huge shoulder pads. There is a white, iredescent that is completely covered in pearl colored sequins which I got in Bali from a missionary who works with ladies who do beading.

 

These are fancy, fancy gowns. But VERY easy to wear-just put on the underwear and slip on the dress. MOST have sleeves-most have LONG sleeves. Anyone interested??? If so, either email or ask me to post pictures.

If you have anything left in a 10, I would be very interested.
