And all through the land, despair was written on the hearts and faces of the ones who had believed. But in just a few hours, doubt would be forced to take the back seat and faith would ride rough-shod over the human heart. Christ is risen! He is risen indeed!
I slept until 8 o’clock again this morning when Mom poked me and said, “We need to get up so we can have breakfast and I can make my 10 o’clock computer class!” And so we did. I went to Robin’s talk about his travels in Cuba, and he has part two tomorrow when he talks about cars, the art, and a cemetery. Cuba has many old American cars, dating from the 50s and early 60s. I will have my eye out for a 1959 two door Chevrolet Brookwood Station Wagon. Preferably red in color. And costing $35.00
Speaking of cars, I told my Ferrari joke today. The one about the fellow who is looking for a car and sees a 2015 Ferrari Berlinetta F-12 advertised in the paper for $3450.00. He thinks it’s a misprint because that car should go for $345,000.00. But no, that’s the price, and after he buys it, he asks the woman why she sold it for so little. “Because,” she said, “my husband ran away to Fiji with his secretary and told me to sell the car and send him the money. So I did!”
And then I talked about The Pirate Republic: Democracy in the Bahamas. Only four more talks to go and we will be in Rome. Exciting but sad. Like Christmas, it takes so long to get here and then is past so quickly.
Well, I need to rehearse for tomorrow’s talk about Ferdinand Magellan, so I’ll turn the keyboard over to Bonnie for a more complete look at today.

Well, he told me not to write War and Peace , so this will be short. The waves were really big last night. They settled down about 2 or 3 in the morning but it still is rocking so that you can’t go outside to walk. We did sleep to 8 but tomorrow we will be up at 6:30 before the sun rises, so maybe I can watch it rise and think of the Son of God who rose and made life worth living!!! If it were not for that day, Christmas and everything else would mean nothing.
Well, I didn’t take a bath this morning because I wanted to wash my hair today and I wanted to do it after his talk today. So we were off to breakfast after he got ready and then I headed to the computer class. Another one learning about things I have no clue about. But I am hoping I can do some of this stuff when I get home. I do have all the handouts from all the computer classes on my thumb drive that I bought. We shall see. I may have to get tech support, MICHAEL!!!
After the class I went back to the room and he studied and I finished my 2nd crochet project and I have started the third one. Then, it was off to lunch. A salad today with Asian dressing. Very tasty. Then off to the theater to wait for his talk. Good as always and well attended. Then, off to the room for a shower etc and a short nap. It was a struggle to shower because the Captain is traveling at 19 knots trying to get a head of another storm headed for us. He said he would slow down this evening. It is still pretty rocky.
Tonight was Gala attire night and we sat at a nice table with a mother and daughter from Oregon and a couple from Ohio now. Nice table and again we were seated in the very back in the window and I could watch the rolling waves! Supper was okay. Filet mignon, that was a little dry but there was a nice chocolate cheese cake for dessert. I splurged tonight.
The show was excellent. The singers and dancers did a show called “Dance” which featured the dancers with the singers. Hard to imagine how they could do all that stuff with the rocking and rolling of the ship.
We are now back in the room and he needs to study. I hope all of you–kids, grandkids and all enjoy the Easter treats. I love you all and miss you. Have a great day and remember it isn’t the Easter bunny that is important but the empty tomb!!
Love Mom, Granny and Bonnie
