Did You Hear About Our Cruise Stop in San Juan?

The first stop of the Carnival Victory, the boat Archie and Ronda Brown took for their recent cruise, was San Juan, Puerto Rico. They debarked, taking the boys into town. Archie had been to San Juan before, so he knew two things to do that would please the boys. First they went to the Castillo de Crostobal, a huge castle and fort that overlooks the sea. After the boys finished exploring the place, the Browns took them to the square where they caught a horse drawn carriage for a ride through the city. It was a nice visit.

Did You Hear About Our Early Flight to Miami?

The cruise that Archie and Ronda Brown took, along with their 7 & 8 year old grandsons, set sail from Miami. The Brown's had to catch a plane from Houston at 6 am in order to get to Miami in time to catch the boat. That meant they had to get up at four, get dressed and drive an hour to the airport. But it was worth it!

Did You Hear About My Questions About the Next President?

Archie Brown has some questions about who will be his next president. Here are some of his observations and wonderings:

If Hillary wins the nomination, and I believe she will, it will be an interesting November. Nearly fifty percent of voters will never vote for her, seeing her as the epitome of evil.

I am not at all sure who will be the Rep. nominee. I tend to think it will be the candidate with the most money, Mitt Romney. I do not see much appeal for him among the base of the party, nor for McCain or Rudy. So the election will hinge on the turn out of voters. Will Republicans hold their nose and vote for a nominee they don't care for just to keep Hillary out?

Did You Hear About Blood Donations?

Archie Brown has been a blood donor for many years. It began when he was nineteen, coaching a teenage league baseball team in his home town. One of the thirteen year old boys contracted leukemia and transfusions. Archie took part in the local drive to collect blood for Jimmy.

He found out then that giving blood is easy and a vital gift to people in anxious moments. He has given at least four times a year for the past forty years. He is going again today, right in the middle of the holiday season. Archie knows that the need for blood is high during this time and the collection is slow because many are sidetracked by the Christmas spirit. Archie feels that it is all the more important for him to give in those times!

Did You Hear About the Little Boy's Response?

Archie Brown was sitting in his easy chair, channel surfing. He was looking for something his grandkids might like to watch on Christmas Eve morning. The six year old was playing with some cars on the floor, the eight year old was reading and the 11 year old was rubbing the sleep from her eyes. When the menu on the tv displayed the name of a movie, "Heidi", Archie spoke the word.

Without looking up, the six year old replied, "Hello."

Archie had to laugh.

Did You Hear About My Sensitve Tooth?

Archie Brown has never liked going to the dentist. But this spring he had a little trouble with sensitive teeth, mostly with one of his lower left molars. When he drank something cold he had a sharp pain. And even when he was running, when he drew a deep breath, his tooth ached.

he did not want to see the dentist, but he was to go on a trip to the Caribbean island of Dominica. The facilities there are not quite up to our standards, so Archie went to get the tooth taken care of so he would not have to see a dentist on the island! The tooth got filled and capped.

But on the second day of the trip, the cap came off Archie's tooth. Rather than go to an island dentist, he suffered through the trip till he could get home and to his dentist.

Archie had tried some of the so called sensitive tooth pastes, but they did not cure anything, only covered the symptoms. Then he had a neighbor that received a free sample of Biotene tooth paste for sensitive teeth. Its formula is designed to diminish the problems, not simply mask them. A tube is now on Archie's counter in the master bathroom!

Did You Hear About Romney's Speech on Religion?

Archie Brown read that Mitt Romney is making a speech today in Texas, reminiscent of the speech John Kennedy made in Houston in 1960. In that speech, Kennedy put to rest in the minds of many voters the fear that he would bring his Catholicism into his presidency. Romney is still feared by about one third of evangelicals that he will introduce his Mormonism into his governance. Archie wonders if Romney will be as effective today as JFK was in 1960.
