That is wonderful and so happy you had a lovely evening

Have a wonderful birthday.

We have a Greenland cruise later this year on a different cruise line. We have a RIB boat booked in Nanortalik and will walk around in Qaqortoq. We also have priority tender passes so hope that helps getting onshore. In Nuuk we have a fjord trip booked. Keeping our fingers crossed that we can make all ports.

The purple cone flowers are so pretty

Your yard is beautiful

Sigh I am a photo fail. No feet pictures. Next time.

It is our local beach. 45 min. drive to Navarre beach. Amelia Island is on hold until I know what the Dr. wants to do about my kidney. I hope to get it taken care of next week with a short down time and then we can plan the Amelia Island get away.

Finally made it to the local beach.

More chickens have been added to the coop.

I keep my AC set at 74 in the summer and the heat at 72 in the winter. I don't open the windows in the spring or fall because of the humidity and bugs that can get through the screens.

Oh no. I hope you heal and feel better quickly

Okay if you say so. I am a biking failure. Sigh. A couple of years ago I got a nice bike but then I fell (not on the bike) and fractured my T3 or T2 (one of those). So I was leary of getting on something that might cause another fall. I then got a cute little 3 wheeler and we biked last fall. Then it got cold, then I was super busy and my husband was busy and then it got hot and now I am really out of shape. Maybe this fall when we get back from our cruise I will give it another go.

I need a breeze when it is like it is now. Plus it keeps the noseeums out of my face and hair. They drive me nuts this time of year.

This morning it is 80f with 94% humidity. Air you can wear, I like humidity but maybe not this much. There are rain showers in the area so we may get a little rain.

@Ozark_KidI will add to all the wonderful things everyone has already said. I am thankful to be on this thread so that i could virtually meet you. I am awed by how you are so positive while having such a challenge. Love the jokes and family stories. I am glad your support system is strong and know Dani's thread is part of that for good times and bad.

It also seems to have a cumulative effect.

The herd of chickens so far.

Try rosemary oil on your hands. It does work for some people. Do not pet your cat immediately after.

@dani negreanu I say a little prayer for you every morning. Wish there was more we could do.

Has she tried using a squirt bottle of water on the offender at the start of the aggression. A squirt and firm no may get it to stop.

Happy Birthday to Shelagh. A pool party sounds perfect.

My hands are ready for the holiday. It is my Step Grandson's 21st birthday on the 4th so we are meeting them in Mississippi at the casino for a day of swimming, gambling and dinner. Maybe some fireworks too.

I wanted to take the Panama cruise but October is fiber fest with my friends in NC. Too many activities in the same month. Yikes retirement is busy.

If SW would go to assigned seats I would consider them again. I really dislike the cattle call boarding. We usually go with Delta since I want to see Atlanta's airport during every flight. Lol just joking.

That is my thinking. That way we could bring stuff for breakfast. We would be staying 3 nights.
