Clear Your Browser's Cookies

Ah - someone has asked me why my website is advertising that Pam Holland will be on the Mexico cruise when they have spoken to her and she is not going. This is correct. Pam had originally agreed to come with us but then found she was unable to make the trip because, as she said, she had forgotten that she will not be coming to Houston this year so will not be in the US as she originally had believed.

As magazine advertising had already gone to the presses, it was too late to pull those ads when Pam told me she could not go, however, her name was removed from the website. The only thing I can suggest that could cause a website to appear to have a discrepancy is that sometimes, one forgets that their browser retains cookies to previously opened pages and when one tries to access the page again, one will see the same exact page as before, because it was "saved" by the cookie. Some browsers are automatically set to refresh after a certain length of time, others have to be manually refreshed.

I apologize to the person who wrote for causing any concern or confusion, it was certainly nothing intentionally left for someone to misinterpret - those browser's can sometimes be tricky. Because your comment seemed that you were so concerned, please let me know who you are so I can give you a free berth on this trip. You may identify yourself by repeating for me what you said in the comment.

Pam WILL be joining me this August on the Quilt Cruise for a Cause - and we are looking forward to a fabulous time. It is exciting that when given a choice, people may choose to take the cruise only or opt for the addition of joining the group at the Festival of Quilts in Birmingham.
