Customer: So what’s the deal with these photos?
Me: These are buy 3 and then you get the 4th one free.
Customer: So if I buy 2, I get a free one?
Me: When you buy 3, you get the next one free.
Customer: Oh! Ok!
Yeah….it’s amazing how some of the people here just simply don’t listen to what I say, and then how many times I have to explain myself in different ways just to convey one simple thing. Another amazing thing is how some people will complain and make an awful face when I say the photos are $19.95 each, but then other people will throw down $400 or $500 without blinking and buy tons of photos.
Apparently one of the other cruise ships that makes port here in Juneau was 3 hours late getting in to port today…..because there was a dead whale stuck to the bow of the ship. I saw a photo of it in the newspaper. So weird. I’m not really sure why it slowed the ship down, or how it got stuck or anything. All I know is some whale decided to die right under the Sapphire Princess.





Hi, Ian, my what wonderful pictures you have taken. I especially like #346; I’ve never seen such a gorgeous blue. I also like the whales and eagles. Are the red and white hings in #s44 & 45 toadstools, mushrooms or what. They look fake. Picture #39 has more beautiful shades of blue. What is the significance of #37 – the tall trees, and what are the white patches on them? It sounds like you have some interesting choices to make; I’ll be praying that you make the choices that are His will for you. You are having such a good time, Ian, and I’m so glad for you. God bless you, Honey
WHAT??!! A dead whale stuck to the bow??!! LOL That cracked me up!!
Sounds like this whale was maybe the cruise ship version of Paul(?), your plastic lizard.
Happy Birthday!!! I’m leaving these messages everywhere I possibly can in the hope that you might get one of them today. =) I love you so so so so so so much!!!
Stephanie and I gave you plenty of practice with having to explain things. The ‘Oh, I get it now.’ happened a few times in our conversations.
You’re welcome!
