Vanessa @JazzyV so happy to read you had a decent night's sleep and haven't been in bad pain. I hope you make it upstairs to your own bed tonight. @Haljo1935 Feeling for you having to cancel your upcoming cruises.

Good morning everyone. Thanks for the Daily and maps, Sandi, Roy and Rich. I will definitely celebrate SB, we will have to buy some at Costco to bring to the cabin for the summer. @grapau27 thanks once more for the explanation of St. Mark's Eve. Lab animals suffer for our benefit, I hope they can come up with better ways for testing. Great quote bay Anais Nin. Thanks for our port photos Sandi, I am sure there will be more coming of the picturesque port. I am not at fan of salmon, @cunnorl I think there are more of us that we know about. I will take my sparkling wine just plain. I avoid OJ because of the sugar. The Barbaresco sound like a wonderful wine, thanks for researching this for us and to @kochleffel for filling in for Dixie. Thanks for the Cares and Celebrations list Vanessa. I hope that you had a good night's sleep and continue to heal completely. @RMLincoln I am glad your husband will be cleared today and that you get to spend some time with your friends in MD. I feel for you having to pass through Baltimore with a major north/south transportation artery shut down. @Cruzin Terri I truly feel for you as your trip is not going to happen. Prayers for Tana and Chuck and @ger_77for your husband needing a valve replacement. Prayers for al in war zones, Ukraine, the hostages and the innocents in Gaza. I will continue to take wine out of the cellar for our 4 month trip to the cabin. I could barely walk this morning when I got out of bed simply by carrying 2 cases upstairs 4 bottles at a time in a basket. I told John we will have to hitch up the lawn cart and pull them uphill from the basement. We are supposed to have a hard frost tonight which is bad for our fruit growers in our area because their apple and pear trees are in bloom. It will be in the 40s here today with wind out of the north. Another day stuck in the house. Have a lovely Wednesday. Nancy

Vanessa, so happy you had a first good night of sleep in I don't know how long. @RMLincoln I am happy to read that your DH eye surgery went well. @0106 we would be all in on renting a car in Kona. Even if an Uber is involved to get one. No bad traffic I would imagine there.

@aliaschief thanks for the wonderful photos from your cruise! @GTVCRUISER I almost thought you were on on a cruise I have been missing your SD photos.

Thanks for the photos Jacqui. I just love the PG on the Volendam. Small and intimate service. No constant change of waiters through your meal. Have fun!

Good morning everyone! Thanks for the Daily Sandi, Roy and Rich! I celebrate the English language and have found an excellent low carb English Muffin that I can enjoy from time to time with natural peanut butter. Never watched Dr. Who. Thanks for our explanations today @grapau27. Today's quote made me think of the dreaded philosophy classes I had in high school and college. My brain doesn't work that way. Thanks for today's Kona photos Sandi, I look forward to everyone else's. I was there in 1988 and we stayed at the fabulous Waikoloa Village Hotel. We did helicopter and deep sea fishing. Happily we will return three times in early 2025. Vanessa I don't know if you are posting from your bed or chair at home but if so you are a hero. @RMLincoln prayers for your DH today as he has his eye surgery at Wilmer. Safe travels home. @Haljo1935 I pray your eye procedure goes well today. Prayers of healing for Chuck, Tana, Annie and everyone else who are ailing. Prayers for all in war zones through no fault of their own, Ukraine and the innocents in Gaza. I have a dental cleaning appointment then will get a mani and pedi and hit the grocery for things we always run out of, lettuce, eggs and water. Out treatment system adds unhealthy amounts of salt so I avoid it. Have a lovely day! Nancy

Happy Birthday Charlene @cunnorl! 🎂

@marshhawk Happy 70th Birthday Annie! 🎂

@JazzyV I am glad you mending at home with your BFF taking care of you.

@Cruzin Terri. I am so sad you had to cancel your cruise. I know good things will come out of your decision but it must be so deflating today. 😿 @shadow 123 welcome to the Daily!

Good Monday morning! Thanks for the Daily and maps, Sandi, Rich and Roy. Happy Earth Day everyone. I agree with @0106 that plastics are taking over our lives. Girl Scout Leaders should be celebrated. A wonderful quote today by Dr. Seuss. Barbara Walters became a new anchor in 1976, a long time ago. I like coleslaw so thanks for the recipes today Debbie. A mystery cocktail and a wonderful wine. Again Vanessa I woke up thinking about your surgery today. You sure deserve some relief from your pain. To all who celebrate Passover have a lovely and meaningful Seder tonight. @Haljo1935 thanks for the lovely photo of your DGD. @rafinmd I hope you get a good report at your oncologist today. Prayers for Tana, Annie and Chuck and everyone else in our group who is hurting or ailing. Prayers for all of those in war zones, Ukraine, Israel and the innocents in Gaza. Another day of trying to get stuff done outside. It was so chilly yesterday I didn't get a lot accomplished because I linger inside until it at least gets near 50 degrees, especially when it is windy. Yesterday I tried to get some organization around a private shore excursion in Papeete next year. The first people expressing interest didn't get back to me. Finally I posted my email and a deadline of Friday for everyone interested in order to try to get the list of people who will go with us on our 6-person tour. Our Roll Call is already reaching 40 pages. Have a nice day everyone. Nancy

@grapau27 and @1ANGELCAT Thoughts for both of you in memory of your dear mothers.

@JazzyV Vanessa prayers for you for a successful surgery today. ❤️‍🩹

Happy Birthday Sue @Rowsby! 🎂

@summer slope Bon Voyage Dixie! 🍾

Bon Voyage Jacqui! Have a wonderful time! Wrong ship but the sentiment is the same!

Good Sunday morning! It is sunny but will be cool and the wind will blow. Thanks for the Daily Reports and Maps, Sandi, Rich and Roy. Funny that Hemp Day follows 420 day. I enjoyed Kindergarten even though I had to go all day most of the year because the District didn't want to send a bus way out in the country to bring one child home. Chocolate covered cashers would seem difficult, too large and too curvy to coat well. Get your chocolate while you can. Cocoa spent almost two years at $800 per standard measure for commodities, I saw on CNBC it reached $1200 on Thursday. Pricy. A stupid quote by Adams today. A trifecta today, all three of the comestibles look like winners! Thanks to Dixie, Ann and Debbie for researching these for us each day. Vanessa, thinking and praying for you as you prepare for your surgery tomorrow, praying for 100% success and the relief of your leg pain. @smitty34877 so happy to read that Tana was able to join your family dinner, continued prayers for her. Prayers for everyone on our care list and those in war zones, Ukraine, Israel and the innocents in Gaza. I will be working outside today as soon as it warms up, it was 38 when I woke up. I will have to pot the six trees I bought for the cabin and give the ones that are too big to my neighbor. Have a lovely Sunday. Nancy

Happy 50th Anniversary Brenda @bennybear !! 🍾🎂

@sailingdutchy Happy Birthday Tony! 🎂

Bon Voyage @kazu and @VMax1700! 🍾🍾

For the flower lovers and needle pointers this Packard was built from the wreck pictured to this gorgeous car. The owner must have really loved flowers.

Good evening. Our road trip was to the Gilmore car museum. It was four buildings of exhibits. We walked until our backs hurt so we didn't see them all. They had some real doozies I mean Deusies.

Good morning. Thanks for the Daily Reports and maps, Sandi, Rich and Roy. A wonderful quote by Adams. I will pass on the meal and cocktail would love the Barolo if someone gifted it to me. For today's port. I haven't been there. Thanks for the Cares and Celebrations reports Vanessa. I am so happy you are approved for your surgery on Monday. Thanks for soldiering on for us to give us our reports! Jacqui and Terrie safe travels!! Prayers for Tana, Annie and everyone needing prayers. Prayers for all in war zones, Ukraine, Israel and the innocents in Gaza. All went well with the tree potting yesterday. Three ladies showed up promptly at one and we got to work. We potted 27 very robust trees for our sale, some needing a 2-gallon pot because their tap roots are so long. Since we had some extra potting mix I divided Solomon's Seal, Mayapples and a Peony so we got those ready for the sale. We are taking a surprise road trip, I don't know where, we are to leave in a few minutes. Comfortable shoes and no purse for the walk. It is very chilly and windy so I hope it is a road trip to the 6 acre indoor garden center near Allendale. Have to get there early as it is the first Saturday open for the season and it will be a zoo. A good way to get us out of the house instead of watching sports. next week we will be glued to the TV with the NFL Draft in Detroit. Have a lovely Saturday! Nancy

@bennybear Good luck at the oncologist. All good news!

Vanessa Great News!!
