If That Doesn't Fix It I Don't Know What Will

Please understand that my mother has been warned that 

this was going to show up in the blog.  It was just one of 

those too good to miss stories from their

most recent adventure.

I say "most recent" because my mom and Warren's mom

have really made it a priority to have adventure in their

lives.  

 

 We happen to think that it is awesome!

Anyway, the trip this time involved the ship called

Destiny, one of the Carnival Lines Ships.

The Destiny left Miami last Monday morning headed to 

Jamaica.  Michael, Chelsea, Mom and Georgia

got on board and left on Cruise With A Cause.

The casinos were shut down and turned into settings

for Bible Teaching and Concerts.  J*sh McDowell

was the "Headliner" so to speak.  

There were several instances where our travelers saw

him out and about on deck and one of the funniest things

happened during one of these meetings.

Mom spoke to him and mentioned that she had recently 

heard him speak in Lancaster.  

Now, what you have to know is that Mom cannot say

Lancaster correctly.  She always inadvertantly speaks of 

Lancaster, CA because she says Lan-CAST-er instead of 

Lanc-eh-ster. It seems a minor difference unless you live here

or have had the unfortunate experience of being corrected

by one of us.  Mom has had this experience regularly since 

moving here four years ago.  She even works in a tourist

destination and does not get it right.

A couple of years ago she was in Israel....another Georgia

and Mom adventure....and they met people from a nearby 

Pennsylvania town.

When asked where they lived Mom gave her usual response.

The couple then stated with certainty, 

"You weren't

raised there, were you?"

So, that made this meeting all the more hysterical to us.

When Mom spoke to J*sh McDowell and told him she

had heard him speak recently in Lan-CAST-er he was

polite...but as he walked away he said,

"It's Lanc-eh-ster.

It took me thirteen years to get that right!"

You might think that this experience would have 

corrected Mom's issue?

Nope!

She was encouraged.

Its only been four years for her.

If it took J*sh McDowell thirteen years

she figures she has time.

Oh my.

I love my Mother!!!
