when we were kids growing up in NY we used to pick grapes for a vineyard!! Every year a man would come around with a pickup truck an load as many of us in the back as he could fit. The first day we would eat almost as much as we picked....and go home to suffer the concequences....then he knew the next day we wouldn't eat a single grape!! LOL!!!

Good Morning Freedom family. I sent this email note last night to those for whom I had an e-addie. Everyone is welcome to participate, but it is strictly optional.

As part of the Reunion Group from the Mariner who will sail on the Freedom of the Seas, we had a great State gift swap in 2004 with Christmas or just hanging ornaments. We were talking on line, how just looking at our gifts hanging on our Christmas trees from people we met on board, brings back some great memories.

Would you like to plan on doing a Christmas/holiday ornament swap on our 2006 Freedom cruise? This is a great week to get out there and buy an ornament at a sale price. I know when I look at the Mukluks (sic?) from Alaska and specially made map of Maryland, I think of Bunti & Rocky (Alaska) and Marlyn and her family (MD).

If you wish to participate and it is strictly optional, each person brings one ornament which represents their state of residence. If you are part of a couple or family, each member can bring an ornament. You give one and get to pick one at a select place and time on board ship. On the Mariner we did it at the Meet and Mingle. It is reasonable and a lot of fun. You really get to know one another also.

We sure hope you agree that this will be a fun thing to do on our Freedom of the Seas cruise.

Bon Voyage

Justin obtuse, its a napa valley wine, its the best I have ever had, ordered two bottles last night on the interenet, very hard to find in stores because its so good

Is it a red or white?

Selena...u like white zin dont you?? My son works for a beer company and they sell wine also, he gets me a case at a time, I hate to be with out it, I like a glass when I get home!!

Sorry Bonnie I do not normally like sweet wines. My co-workers decided they were tired of me drinking White Zin and they refused for a good 6 months to allow me anything but dry reds when we would ger together. After two glasses it does not matter what it tastes like. Now I can not drink a sweet at all. We went to Childress Vineyard a couple of weeks ago and we did the Reserve Wine Tasting (which was not worth the $30) and I could hardly drink the sweet wines.

I emailed you back about this. I am interested in this. Just not sure what type of ornament I can buy that represents my state. Does my entire family have to participate? I do not think Jeff or the kids are interested in this. Well my kids might be. They pick a new ornament each year for our tree and they have their own ornament box to keep them in. One day I will give them these ornaments as a present for their first tree. This way they will have memories to start off with. Of course I will have to go buy a lot of ornaments when this happens. But we normally buy 8 or 9 new ornaments a year. This year I bought 3 boxes of glass ball ornaments, new garland, more lights and 6 new glass collectible ornaments.
