God Keeps Giving Me Little Surprises

http://www.queenmary.com/stay-aboard/stay-aboard/
  ~ A night on the Queen Mary ~
I am off for a little excursion.
 
I always wanted to stay on the Queen Mary.
 
God is really good to let me have this. It is one of those things I hoped for, 
but never put much thought into it actually happening.
Joy, Joy, Joy, in my heart is ringing; 
Joy, Joy, Joy, Jesus set me singing; 
Telling of how He died for me, 
Telling of how He set me free, 
Filling my life with victory, 
Joy, Joy, Joy.

    1. Dear Linda,

      I hope to take lots of photos, probably more than anyone will want to see :)

      It is 7:17 a.m.; I got up at 5:15 and went out to run around the hotel grounds. I also climbed 4 flights of stairs 5 times in an attempt to counteract all the calories in the delicious food and drink I will be consuming. Last night's dinner was way beyond scrumptious!

      Time to heat up my curling iron and head out for a day of adventure.

      Love, Hope :)

  4. Oh Hope, how marvelously exciting! Traditional ocean liners - and the journeys undertaken on them - have always appealed to me immensely. I think that world lost something great when ships of this nature virtually vanished from our seas (yes, we have cruise ships, but they're not the same, IMO). I hope that you have a splendid time on your night out and like to think that I'll be there with you in spirit.

    Many hugs,
    ♥ Jessica

    1. Dear Jessica,

      I thought of you often while on the Queen Mary and just new you would sport some lovely fashions, looking wonderfully glamorous!

      This morning, I got a really sweet compliment from a lady about my outfit. I will post that later...

      Thank you, dear friend, for your delightful comment.
