It was not my picture. I looked online for tile murals. There were all kinds of designs to pick from. You also picked the overall size and the number of tiles which decided the size of each tile. It came with installation instructions that I gave to my tile guy. Then he helped me pick the other tiles and border. I think there was an option to use your own photo. We had just moved and I wanted something beachy.

Does covid affect your cruise decision?
Keksie replied to KyleClark's topic in Norwegian Cruise Line
It isn't the thought of catching covid that has us not booking. It has been and still is the protocols which would ruin the vacation for us. With a land vacation if a protocol we don't want is suddenly put in place we can just go someplace else. On a ship we would be stuck. -
Is anyone else reluctant to commit far ahead to cruises now?
Keksie replied to LMaxwell's topic in Ask a Cruise Question
Not ready to book anything yet. We still don't trust that our cruise wouldn't have a last minute protocol change that would ruin the cruise for us. Add to that the reports of cutbacks and having to try to get a good check in time to secure the dining and entertainment reservations we would want just makes a cruise less desirable to book right now. -
i am glad it flew away. For some reason we have had a pelican in distress surge at the refuge. Mostly entanglements and swallowed hooks. A few with botulism too. They each need 40 medium fish or 6 large fish a day so it has been a struggle getting enough fish for them. During the last couple of months we would have 7-8 pelicans in our care. I think we are finally down to just 1.

Although it looks very crowded it does not feel that way. The bathrooms are huge and very clean. Their coffee is really good with a large variety of creamers etc. They usually have a lot of check outs open. They have different counters of food. There are healthy food choices also. I have not gotten the bbq but have gotten other prepared food there. I just order on the screens they have set up inside and then they call you when your order is ready. It doesn't take long and it is a good break from a long car trip. Of course there is all the home decor items I take a quick look at. LOL

I think of the day or two before as just part of my vacation. A time to see something of the area the ship is leaving from. Rent a car for a day or two and look around. Do a little research to find interesting sites for instance in Galveston there is the Strand, the beaches the pyramids etc. Find some interesting/good restaurants. Yes, it adds to the cost, but it can start the vacation off to a relaxing start.

Brrr. The cold front arrived last night. This morning to take the dogs out I had on 2 coats, gloves, mittens and a hat. I will wear more clothing when I take Cocoa for an eye recheck today. Yuck. Wednesday night we went to the "Sowell's North Pole" It was a very nice display and a former "Light Fight" winner. Then yesterday we went to the casino in Mississippi. There were a lot of speed traps on the way so watch out on the highways. The casino had beautiful displays for Christmas. I didn't win but my son and his GF came out ahead.

It is 48F here this morning. Supposed to get to 62F later today. My son, his GF and I are going to Biloxi to the casino for the day. Then the cold weather that has escaped the north is going to come for a visit. I will be an unhappy camper for at least 5 days weather wise. It will definitely feel like Christmas. Brrrr the coldest night will be Friday at 17F. Pipes are covered, plants are in, pets never stay outside and Rocco's jacket is by the door, now I need to find my heaviest jacket, gloves, scarf and maybe long undies.
