Yes, it's certainly easier to keep up than to catch up...but sometimes catching up is necessary. Today's your chance to enjoy some pictures from the past couple of months of Cash family life!
Italian Naval Ship
So there was an Italian Naval Ship that docked near us a couple of months ago...and not just a Naval Ship - an aircraft carrier! The 3 eldest members of the family got to go over for a tour. We definitely enjoyed getting to see the ship and it was exciting to walk out on the flight deck. Though, in our professional and very mature opinions, the best part of the tour was saying random things with our best Italian accents....("fettucini!" "spaghetti!" "bonjourno!")

A glimpse into the glory of container day/getting packages
Maybe someday we'll write about how getting packages "works"...just know that it includes overhead pages that get us all excited and then climbing lots of steps. Thankfully, this time around, a few of the deck guys were willing to help carry this precious cargo up the 4 flights of stairs.  |

When we first left Columbus on this adventure, we went to Texas for 5 weeks of training called Gateway. The others in our Gateway group quickly became - and have remained - some of our closest friends in Mercy Ships. It's been hard to say good-bye to the ones who have already finished out their commitment....and there are more leaving in the next few weeks. BUT some are staying on with us...and some are coming back!! As a way to celebrate this special "ship family" we went out to a restaurant called "la Pyramid" last Sunday afternoon.

The Mums at Carnivore
As a way to celebrate/honor the moms who are leaving, we all went to dinner together (well, most of us...a couple were missing)...it was especially exciting that the favorite restaurant of the Cash family was the venue of choice.
Living on a ship means that there are spare bits and pieces of all sorts of things just waiting to be discovered - occasionally on deck 8 and especially on the dock...(and we have a really nice carpenter who let the girls come get a cup full of treasures the other day). Caroline has been collecting random metal parts and has been making "instruments" in her workshop. Gran'daddy, feel free to take the credit for this one.
Surely there will be more to come.
