My mom and I returned home Monday night (which happened to be Andy's birthday) from a wonderful Alaskan cruise, a trip of a lifetime. While on water, I sure was glad Henry was not there to jinx us! Rocking to and fro at night in bed was pure adventure sleepin'! Standing on our balcony observing wildlife, I just had to think "Golllyyy" as we spied a bald eagle, a sea otter swam beside us, and whales flipped in the distance. Then riding the train from Whittier to Anchorage we saw two moose, and I just know the Mayberry huntin' fellers would have loved to have seen them. It's the beginning of salmon season, so I'm sure the guy who gave Andy such trouble fishing in his fishin' hole would have loved that! The food and service on the ship were exceptional, but there's one thing I wasn't familiar with. One night after dinner I tried that Baked Alaska, you know, the dessert that came out after Alaska became a state. Sure didn't taste like the kind I had before. Had trouble reading the menu a time or two with new-fangled words foreign to this Midwesterner, but thank goodness I never accidentally ordered snails and brains!
