How strange that we were just talking about cousins, and this shows up in my email this morning. Maybe I should tell them I just connected on Cruise Critic. Or maybe I should check it out and see how many of you are listed. 😂

Open the app, and go to the dining tab, then to bars and lounges. They have the menus and prices

Sometimes they will tell you that you can't have that one day if you have the plan. You just have to go to the voom desk and tell them you want to use your free day to use two devices at once, and they will give it to you.

And now my grandson tested positive today, so they all have it Glad his is mild so far.

Now, for something related to family history. I know this must be true, because I read it on the internet. I remarked to Susan the other day, that I rarely saw any blue-eyed people on any of the commercials we were watching. As a blue-eyed individual, I thought I would search to find out why that was, because I was feeling underrepresented. Well, one thing led to another, and I came across a study by the University of Copenhagen that says that everyone on the planet, with blue eyes, has one common ancestor. Something about a switch at a particular location in DNA that results in the blue eye color. Supposedly, that is not the case with other eye colors. So I guess that means I am related to Frank Sinatra and Paul Newman. I guess that also means, if any of you have blue eyes, we are long lost cousins, however many times removed.

@grapau27 Graham, glad to hear that Sarah is doing well. I hope she continues to progress and gets relief from back pain.

@brillohead, good luck with your family roots search. As someone who is “still” writing my family history book that I started during the pandemic, you never know what you will find, or how people will react. Susan’s grandfather was in an orphanage, and we have ran into many obstacles trying to trace that line. It didn’t help that the orphanage burned down, and records were lost. We did find he had a short marriage and had a son, before he married Susan’s grandmother. Reaching out to those descendants to see if they had any information, and they did not want to have any contact with Susan’s family, and would not provide any information. Then, you run into the dilemma of how to write the history. Some family members only want the whitewash version. Don’t include my first husband, or in some cases, 1st, 2nd, and 3rd. But, since it will only be published for my kids, to be eventually passed to our grandkids, I may do the non-whitewash version. Sometimes, family trees have some ugly branches.

@dani negreanu Dani, I really enjoyed seeing those pictures of the carnival dress. such elaborate costumes. @bobmacliberty Bob, great pictures of your trip to Napa. It looks like the weather cooperated for your pictures of the GG bridge. I have crossed it many times where the top the the towers are shrouded in fog.

A&W was always a go to place from my high school days. Would stop there after doing to the Drive-in movies. That brings back some memories.

Marietta, sorry to hear about Charlie, but glad he is doing better. +2 Mimi, have a great time on Wonder. Looking forward to hearing about it.

I am several days, and several pages behind, but I hope to catch up today. I want to thank everyone who was praying for my daughter’s surgery. According to the surgeons, her surgery went well, but they did not commit too much beyond that. The surgery was very long. They took her in for prep at 11:30 am on Wednesday, and it was after 9 pm before she got out of observation. Now we wait for results from biopsies, to see if there is more chemo ahead. Hopefully we will know more after appointments over the next couple weeks. Meanwhile, Susan and I have been there to take care of getting the kids to school and picked up after school, as well as taking care of her and doing things around the house. She isn’t allowed to do much of anything for at least a couple weeks. And, on another note, DIL is feeling better after her bout with.Covid, but now my son has it, and his symptoms are worse than hers were.

Thanks for asking. This is the first time she has had it, so she feels worse today. Hopefully it will not be too bad for her.

Same number on my iPhone, but none on my iPad.

Safe travels to CA, and enjoy your time there.

Oh no, hope it is mild and she gets over it soon. Don’t you have a cruise with them coming up soon?

Thanks for the kind words. Glad you enjoyed it. I know there were a couple reviews I did using some videos from the Periscope app. I am not sure if those videoed survived, since Periscope is no more.

Last night, our daughter, SIL, and grandkids were here for dinner. Of course, when my grandson saw my impromptu decoration of our Valentine’s Day tree for President’s Day, he wanted to know if he could have the money from the tree to buy something. His mother says “They just gave you money for Valentines Day, and you spent it all” Him “That’s why I need more!” Me “Those are ones on the tree, so you couldn’t buy much” So, Susan, who is known as the chief enabler at our house, grabs her purse and peals off some larger bills and hands them to him. Then, she realizes she needs to keep things even, so she hands a bunch to our granddaughter. They both left, flashing cash and talking about what they wanted to buy last night. They are coming for lunch today, so I hope they aren’t broke already.

My daughter-in-law made it through her trip to Singapore without getting anything. Then she found out she was in close contact with someone at work on Wednesday that tested positive. DIL tested last night, and now she has it. Just a sore throat for her so far.

Our dinner last night. A traditional Turkey dinner with all the sides Yes, those are eggs in the background. We were splurging. 🤣🤣 Desert was this. And, of course a little Bailey’s after dinner.

I think that is the first I have seen bow access for a photo shoot. We have been invited to the bow area on several ships, but never this. How much were they charging, and what do you get for that price?

Nice to see they included usb-c ports in their charging stations.

Happy 35th Anniversary @Momof3gurlz. Wishing you many more.

No break impressed me too. He went nonstop, start to finish. Not bad for an old guy.

You missed your chance. Taylor Swift gave birth to 9 puppies, and they were all put up for adoption. https://www.newsweek.com/rescue-dog-named-taylor-swift-gives-birth-9-puppies-all-given-song-names-1778893 Don’t know if Jade would have got along with any of them, though.

According to my email, I see that Primanti Bros. is staring a slice of pizza a day Club. For $9.99 a month, you can get a slice every day of the month. I can say that I have never gone there to order a pizza, when they have such good sandwiches. Somehow, the pizza slice they use in the ad doesn’t look appetizing. Maybe if I miss Sorento’s, I may have to try it. 😂
