More Fun Pictures - Thankful for What We Have

Today I met a man on our bus back to the Seattle Airport.  He was probably 10-15 years older than me.  He was traveling with a friend who lives at the same complex he does.  This man was "full of life."  He was explaining in great detail all the things he had seen.  He had also been to an art gallery and was explaining the artwork to me.  He had so much detail in his explanations, it kind of reminded me to pay much more attention to life.

The most unique thing about this man?  He is blind.  He uses a guide stick and his traveling companion explains in great detail what they are seeing.  This man did not feel sorry for himself.  He was living life to the fullest.  

He talked with Joe at length about the trip.  It was just very cool.  He even made a joke with me, stating that he couldn't believe he hadn't "seen" me on the cruise.

It's a great reminder to be thankful for what we do have in life.

Right now we are at our gate at the Seattle Airport with a 2 hour wait until departure.  The kids set up their Catan game and are playing on the floor by our gate.

We had a wonderful time.  We hope to add posts about Ketchikan and Victoria, BC.  But until then enjoy some more fun photos.

Photos at supper:  I am a picture buff.  My family will tolerate me, and I'm thankful.  But I'm always like, get that out of your pocket, check your teeth, stand up straight.  So the photo of Ben and the pen is a joke on me-- because I was always asking Dave to take the pen out of his pocket.
