Cruisers Life Website..
So many people asked me how I created this website that I had to put a link on the site. I did it through Blinkweb. It's a great on-line webpage/blog/whatever place to create a website without any cost to you. Blinkweb supplies the web page templates and will host your site on the blinkweb domain for free. If you want them to host your domain there is a small charge. I created CruisersLife using Blinkweb's templates and webpage until I was satisfied with the results and then I used blinkweb to get my own domain and converted my blinkweb website to my new domain (www.cruiserslife.com). Try it. It's easy!

Hale Groves... We've been purchasing fruit and ordering gifts from Hale Groves for more than 10 years. Everything is always fresh, delicious and beautifully presented and their customer service is excellent. In the past 10 years, I've only had one problem. Hale Groves shipped an order twice and wouldn't let me return the second shipment. Said it was their gift to me. Now THAT's a company that knows how to treat their customers!
