Sometimes, there are bright and shining moments. Today , the rabbit patch has been full of them. One thing happened, and then another-and it was all good.

Today did not start out like any other day at the rabbit patch. My internal alarm is usually quite reliable, still I set an alarm just in case. Neither did their job this morning.

My husband and I received an invitation to a party in St. Louis to celebrate the marriage of a friend from his Vietnam days. Since I'm retired and no longer have to worry about using up precious vacation days, we decided we'd make a road trip of it.

I've enjoyed reliving our vacation by writing about our Viking ship and the historical perspective we gained while traveling. If those topics haven't sparked your interest, this description of the sights along the way is bound to do the trick.

Our May river cruise was an amazing trip. Yes, the weather could have been a tad drier and warmer, but we didn't let the rain dampen our spirits. Though we'd heard Viking was the cream of the crop, we could never have imagined what that meant.
