Sorry to hear your news...take care and heal quickly!

Happy Friday! Great to hear that people are making it to FLL. Fingers crossed that all of the luggage gets there also. Have a great cruise. @cruising sisterSorry to hear about the loss in your family...prayers for everyone. @luvteachingGood to hear that your DH seems to be settled in the new facility. Prayers that his recovery is quick and easy. Have a great weekend! Karen

Happy Wednesday. It's 80F here today. Broke a temp record. Supposed to be warm again tomorrow, and then 40's over the weekend with rain and a chance of snow flurries. Went out for lunch today, and would have ordered a grilled cheese sandwich, but it wasn't on the menu. @atexsixGood to hear from you, hoping all goes well for DD. You must be doing a great job caring for him! @kochleffelI've also learned a lot about Passover these last few day, thanks! Thanks to all for sharing pictures jokes and your lives here! Karen

@highscarthat does not sound good...:-(

Happy Tuesday! It's been very busy here the last few days! Grandkids, Easter and all of the other things going on. Every day is Pet day here to this guy! @JazzyVsorry to hear about your knee, hoping the problem resolves for you... Never had an 8 track player, had a cd player in the last car, it was 16 years old and just replaced it with a car with all of the "fancy stuff" that I'm trying to learn. Now you just plug in the phone to the usb port! It's very much a learning experience. I like barber shop music, but haven't heard any in a while. We're waiting for summer to hear the music at the beer gardens in the parks nearby. It is finally a warm day here Yay! Happy Birthday, Anniversary and Happy sailing to everyone on or going on a cruise in the near future!

Good evening, it was a pleasant day here today! Finally the sun was out! I'll take the beer, and I like caramel corn. We have a small local business here that makes the best Kettle Corn, lots of different flavors. @luvteachingGood to hear that your DH is feeling better. @StLouisCruiserssorry to hear about the loss, but it sounds like Ren is doing great! The Rotterdam looks great leaving New York! Have a great night and a great Saturday! K

Good Evening, we had lots of storms last night and this morning. The sun came out for a few hours, and it's supposed to be warmer the next few days...Finally! I had a busy day, reading with my "little" reading buddies at school this am, and then sewing the the 6th graders this afternoon, they all finished their 2 projects! A pillowcase and then a little runner to match the case! I'll take a thick crust pizza as a treat, we usually have thin and crispy crusts. Not sure about the meal, but I will take the drink of the day! @StLouisCruisersYay for Ren and his team! @kochleffelthanks for sharing your Passover info. Prayers for all who need them and shout outs for the others, especially those enjoying cruises now! Karen

Good afternoon from a rainy day in WI. Happy Opening Day for our Brewers! Today is like a national holiday here. The parking lots didn't open till 10 AM, but cars were lined up at 3 AM to get their special tailgate party spots! And, they won! I'll skip the meal today, and we haven't been to Boston. Would like to do a Boston to Canada cruise though. The porcupine meatballs sound good! I also need "easy!" @ger_77What a heartwarming story about your family from Ukraine. Prayers that all goes well for them and everyone else struggling there. Now, DH is excited for the NCAA championship game tonight. Have a good rest of your day! K

@kochleffel Been there, done that! Isn't it amazing how that happens! Happy Palm Sunday. Our school kiddos came down the aisle with palm branches this morning, and then they all sang a song. The play that they did last night was fabulous! Lots of talent! The sun is finally coming out here. It's been a quiet day. Church, then my exercise walk, then puttering with some other projects...a quilt I started, some knit washcloths for Christmas baskets, and then nothing! Our dinner is Mongolian chicken in the crockpot. @Quartzsite Cruiserthose flowers are beautiful. Our spring bulbs are up, we just need some warm days now. Prayers, and cheers for all that need them.

Happy Saturday, it's dreary here today. Had flurries this morning and bad thunderstorms last night. There were some tornado warnings not too far away, but we were good. Sad to see all of the very bad weather these last few days and weeks. I have cousins in the mountains in CA, and the snow there has been terrible. @Crazy For CatsHappy Birthday to Amelia! I've been reading Amelia Bedilia books with my little reading buddy friends, is that where she got her name? That Amelia is a hoot! Cheers to all celebrating, and prayers for all who need them. We're off to see the play our school kids are doing this evening. They always do a very good job! K.

Happy Friday from a rainy day in WI. One of the weather apps on my phone announced that thunder storms were coming at 3 am! Not sure which app it is, so I'm not sure which one to silence! Never did hear any thunder, luckily I fell back to sleep. I'm not sure about the meal or drink, but we do have crayons here for the Grands. They like to do crafts! I remember Bunsen Burners from back in the day! @StLouisCruisersI've also been reading the World Cruise Blogs, it's interesting to read their differing viewpoints. Prayers for all on the cares list, and cheers for everyone else! Have a great weekend! K

Good evening, it's been a busy day, and I'm just getting to read the Daily now. My niece and her husband just finished a trip to Hawaii, they shared lots of photos and videos. They did lots of hiking while there. We did a Hawaii tour about 20 years ago. No pictures to share, but the ones here today look familiar. I like to visit mom and pop stores and restaurants. We spent a month at St. Pete Beach a few years ago, never did see any manatees while there. @luvteachingit's good to hear your DH is out of the ICU, prayers that he continues to improve. Bon Voyage to everyone on the Rotterdam! Have a great trip. Have a good night, Karen

@rafinmdThat was quite a story!

Good afternoon, thanks to all of the people who started and continue the Daily posting here! I started reading Cruise Critic when the pandemic started. I remember reading about an elderly couple stuck on the world cruise, and Copper helping them in the airport so they could get home to their family. Not sure if that was in the Daily, of if they had their own thread. Thanks for all of the photos and recipes. That 1st recipe sounds good today! I saved it. Prayers for all who need them, and shout outs to the rest! Have a great week!

Good afternoon from a snowy day in WI. We got about 8 inches today! Lots of travelers here leaving for spring break, hopefully they all got their flights ok...(our "kids" did get out ok this afternoon.) @luvteachingsorry to hear about your DH and his medical problems. Caregiving is a tough job, prayers for all of you. @Quartzsite CruiserLove your Israel pictures, we were there also, went with a group of people from our church, with 1 of our pastors as a leader. Sad to hear about the bad weather in the south, prayers for them also. I like waffles, but the oatmeal on our last cruise was very good, I wish I could figure out how they got it so smooth and creamy! Pecans are good also, my mom got bags of them at Christmas time for all of her cookies. Thanks for all of the recipes, memes and photos here! Always a highlight of my day to read here! Karen

Thanks for sharing! Enjoy!

Happy Friday! I'll take a cocktail and the chocolate covered raisins. Candied raisins are also yummy! The bloody Maria also sounds good. We have leftover chicken enchiladas for supper tonight. More snow in our forecast again. Hopefully this will be the last for us! The northern lights were also seen here last night, I missed it, but saw lots of photos on the news this morning. Sounds like the world cruisers had an exciting day today, I've been reading several of their blogs and threads here on CC. Cooper says "Thank you, woof-woof" for the birthday wishes yesterday! Have a great weekend! Karen

Happy Thursday. We've had some busy days here, my 6th grade sewing kiddos had big smiles yesterday as they finished their pillowcases! I had fun watching them! Cleaned out my car today, trading it in for a new one next week! Yay! Haven't been to the port, the pics are great! The food today looks good. It's great to see @rafinmdposting his food and sunrise/sunset pictures again! I have to post a puppy picture today...Cooper isn't a puppy anymore, he's celebrating his 11th birthday on Sunday! Prayers for those in need, and Shout Outs for those celebrating and cruising!

@kochleffelSo sorry to hear about your kitty, they are such an important part of our lives, and it's so sad to say goodbye. Good morning from a cloudy, windy 30+F day in Wisconsin. DH, and 2 DSIL's were sad to watch Marquette lose yesterday, but the Wisconsin Ladies hockey team won their championship game! No basketball for a few days...YAY! I'm not sure about the meal for the day, we'll be having leftovers here. Going to take some leftovers to Dear sis in law today, she's got some kind of cold virus going on, but is starting to feel a little better. Happy 1st day of spring, and have a great week. K

Good afternoon from a blustery day in SE Wi. Not much going on here today, except more basketball. Glad that the Wisconsin Badgers won. Now to watch the Marquette game. We're going to DD and DSIL's house for corned beef and cabbage. DSIL cooks with lots of butter, so everything tastes better at their house. The lasagna rolls look good today. @dfish@mamaofami good luck with your surgeries this week. Thanks for all of the pictures and Meme's today...I am traveling through all of you reading the Daily thread! Karen

I just learned that today is also National Quilting day! I had to share a couple of pictures! Our church group makes lap quilts for those in need, also baby quilts.

Good afternoon, it's very cold, snowy and windy here today. It was not a good week for me to get my walks done! I like the quote today, I've organized a sewing class for 6th graders at our church's school. I'm finding out that I would not have been a good teacher, I'm better at 1 on 1, rather than a bigger group! Sometimes I have a hard time describing what I'm doing, I need to demonstrate it instead. We haven't been to todays port, but I have a cousin who had property in Nicaragua. Their house looked beautiful, but the area did not seem like a good place to visit. Prayers, hugs and cheers for all who need them. Enjoy the rest of your weekend. K.

Happy St. Patrick's Day! Just finished our corned beef dinner, along with a Guinness beer! We're not Catholic, but the Archbishop here also said you could eat meat if you wanted today. It was chilly and windy here today, tomorrow it's supposed to be colder yet. I'm ready for spring! Thanks for all of the memes, travel photos and pictures of the little leprechauns today! Our grands were dressed in green today also! DH is still watching Basketball, I'm not sure how he does it! Today he did better with his bracket! Milwaukee is happy that Marquette won! Happy weekend, Karen

We were on the Eurodam in February. Our neighbors had a dry erase board and sticky notes on their door. They had messages on the board.."we're at xxx spot, meet us there." They also left notes for the cabin steward there. Enjoy your cruise!

Good afternoon from dreary SE Wisconsin. It rained for a while, an maybe some snow tomorrow. It was 40+ F yesterday. DH is busy watching basketball games, he's got Marquette in the final game, we shall see! @JazzyVThanks for including me on the cares list. You can take me off. I saw the Dr. today, he wasn't concerned about anything, but did change 1 med. Said to come back in a year. I'm loving all of the pictures today! The pandas are so cute! Prayers for all that need them, and cheers to everyone else! Karen
