I saw the news report and video. It is horrible. Prayers for them and their families and friends. 🙏 Is there an alternative for cruise ships?- 94 replies

@Quartzsite Cruiser thanks for sharing the awesome Waterford Crystal pictures. Sad it all no longer comes strictly from there, but I guess if it helps them carry on the business while maintaining the beauty and quality, it's a good thing.- 105 replies

A few years ago (pre-covid, so technically probably more than a few) Target discontinued my favorite ice cream. It was their private label and I couldn't find anything similar enough to takes it's place. It was Triple Chocolate - chocolate ice cream w/chunks (not chips) of dark chocolate and "ribbons" of white chocolate; it was heaven in a bowl. DH said it was too fancy for his liking, so I got the container to myself. Bonus was the price - being store brand, it did not have the higher price of premium or brand name ice cream. I love a good bargain and a bargain priced decadent ice cream is a home run!! I've tried different ice creams from different stores and have not found a replacement; had some really good ice cream, but haven't discovered "the one." That may have changed. Last week I ordered a box of Magnum double dipped chocolate carmel bars and rec'd Biscoff double dipped bars. Oh my!! DH won't try them (don't understand his aversion to "fancy" ice cream) so I guess I really did finish the box myself (is 6 bars in 5 days too many if they're mini bars, not full size?).🙄 Completely different than the Target ice cream, but I ordered more today. If you like cinnamon, velvety chocolate and rich ice cream, give it a try. I got the mini bars (6 to a box) and think they're just the right size; I think the larger full size bars would be too rich for 1 sitting. It's like a hug-fest party in a box ❤️🤗 I am ready for lunch so I can have dessert.- 105 replies

Some good days to celebrate and a couple important days in history; although, I don't think anybody would notice if I "bedded in" and there would be no positive impact on World Peace. I agree attitude is powerful, but sometimes it's not enough, so I guess I'm not aligned w/the quote. I will eat around the peppers in the meal, try the drink and wine, not been to the port.- the pictures look nice. Happy Birthday to your sister @cat shepard 🎂🥳 @aliaschief I hope you feel better soon 🤒🤧 Thank you to all who thought of me and my family yesterday - it meant a lot. Hugs and prayers to those going through similar.💔🙏 No work or PT today. Bought the pups new chew bones and enjoying the morning watching & listening to them. Dogs do love a new bone.🐶 Tonight will be leftover ham with pork stuffing/dressing then we move to ham sandwiches, ham salad, ham & beans...yum! It really rained last night - just dumped, a lot. It was 59° headed to a wet 73° when I checked this morning. Prayers 🙏 and positive thoughts for all.- 105 replies

It is absolutely dumping. I'm sure we'll be begging for rain in a few months, but right now, this is nuts.The backyard is a lake. -

I thought your Hawaii cruise was HAL, hence the laundry comment. I've done laundry on a Princess cruise and said "ugh, this is vacation" so I'd bring home dirty clothes, too. I hope the eclipse is awesome! Safe travels - enjoy your cruise! -

Solar eclipse cruise should be awesome - hope you'll share pictures and your experiences. Are you doing a Live review? HAL laundry means you can bring home clean clothes so they go from suitcase to dresser, wink wink. -
We love spending an afternoon at The Hangar; good food and great views. Our timing was perfect to get a table - the place was packed when we left. All inside dining that day in May 2023 - there's snow in those clouds.

There is also a trail for hiking and a place to eat "up top" so the tram ride provides more than just a great view. But it is a spectacular view. Safe travels- enjoy your cruise!

The ham has been glazed, sparingly garnished w/pineapple and back in it's oven home for the final minutes of cooking. The house smells so good. One of the dogs and the cat came inside - maybe they approve of the aroma and are hoping for a taste? They will not get any, but I appreciate their votes of confidence. Older brother called to say he's enjoying a huge serving (he won't eat it all) of world's best chicken fried steak - that sounds really good, too. Maybe I'm just hungry.- 113 replies
