You made a wise choice. Earlier this year Sharon and daughters decided I would need one for Disney. They didn't really discuss it much with me, Sharon just ordered it. It made a huge difference.

Deck 8! I will try not to be too noisy. 😆 Looking forward to meeting you 😀!

Sounds like you have been blessed with a great care team! That can be a big plus. I hope all goes well for you. It's great your next cruise is with friends from here. It will make a big difference. I have loved meeting the ones I have already. It's amazing.

I'm starting to wonder if they are trying to do away with the UDP.

Speaking of too high, I thought I would check Icon in January. They are not showing the key yet but for the UDP they want $356.99! Almost $51 per day!

Our October Voyager is showing $50.11 for the key.... That's Cad $. US converts to $38. Which is to high for me.

Would you do the key again? Were they grilled? I didn't realize how good grilled lamb chops where until I tried them in the Samba Grill on Allure. Those are my 2 favorites in Izumi. We love going here. So relaxing. Thanks for sharing. Looking forward to the pics!

I did not attend the Fair but learned to enjoy a ride from it. At Disney they have the Carousel of Progress which was at the 1964 World Fair. While at the Magic Kingdom, when it would get hot and I was tired I would suggest the ride. It's has nice air conditioning and I could get a nice the 20 minute nap!

I have loved OLED. I remember the first time we were watching TV with all the lights out. There was a long black out screen while going to commercial. It was sooo noticeably darker in the room. How do you like the curve?

Cool, would you get it again? Yes, I guess you could say I like garlic. 😉 I have cleaned so much in the basement the last few weeks that when you open the basement door you smell it. I hate my 1st garlic from this year yesterday along with my 1st tomato! I put them on an egg sandwich along with sharp cheddar cheese and bacon 🥓.

It was forcast here in N. Ar 100⁰ for tomorrow buy it luckily dropped all the way down to just 97⁰. Heat index 112⁰. So I guess 🤷 the hottest is holding back. 😆

It looks like Samsung phone owners buy LG TV. Our last one was LG OLED. Best we ever owned.

It is common for people with ALS to eventually lose their voice. Our friend near us that also has ALS has already lost hers. With voice banking you record several phases and then the phases are used to generate a synthetic voice that will sound more like your on voice. My daughters really want this. We are currently working with a program through Acapela MOV. There is a lot to figure out but we are slowly getting there. We can use 300 phases limited to 80 characters. We still do not fully understand how it will work. Apple's next operating system upgrade is supposed to have a similar capability.

I have always enjoyed my Samsung phones. I am tempted to switch to iPhone only due to the ability to voice bank with the next ios upgrade. I may instead by a new smaller ipad.

Dani, GS2 is a handsome young man! Great pic. I'm sure it's hard to have family move away. Especially when they are loving like yours. Not everyone is blessed like that. I agree with others that FaceTime can help. Sharon daily does it with here mom. On occasion one of the Grandkids FaceTime my iPad or laptop. Yesterday I heard Alexa making a different sound so I made it to the kitchen to find out Aubrey and Caden figured out how to video talk over Alexa! Let's hope things work out that y'all can get together often. ❤️

I have never heard of garlic ice cream. I would guess if I made it I would get to eat it all. 😋 Have you tried it? So curiosity got me to look it up. Looks like it is made with roasted garlic. I love roasted garlic. I guess I could make some vanilla icecream then stir in some roasted garlic. One time I was eating a bulb of roasted garlic. I was about done when Sharon came over to give me a 💋 kiss. She about fell over. 😆 It was strong.

The cost of good ice cream around here is getting so expensive I decided I am going to try to make my own. It has been years. I have a Kitchenaid Ice Cream attachment. I will need to watch a YouTube to refresh my memory on how to use it.

Sharon got me Sushi today. It was so good. It's called American Dream. This is what makes it up, Shrimp tempura roll, avocado, masago, cream cheese topped with spicy crab meat. It was so big and fulfilling I only hate half at lunch. I will soon go snack on some more 😋.

Thanks for asking. Physically it has been much more challenging. I am so glad I have the Rollator now. I don't need it yet but my next visit in 2 weeks they will fit me for a wheelchair. Concerning the garlic, I was able to harvest it all because I spread the harvest out over a few weeks. Speaking of garlic I saw a chicken recipe that uses 40 cloves of garlic! Tempting! I was able to use the riding lawnmower today but right now a friend is over trimming and weedeating. Something I can not do. So many want to help out. Looks like next Tuesday the gang will start demo on the bathroom. They are estimating it to be a 3 week project. My spirit is still real good. If I was the same physically you would think I was an Olympian! Sharon is such a blessing. She is so strong through this.

Looking back the biggest thing I hated about turning 50 is that I put off retiring for another 11 years! Enjoy being a young one. Time goes quickly.

@Sunshine3601 Happy belated Birthday Debbie. When I first noticed I missed your Birthday I couldn't believe it. I then noticed I wasn't the only one. Hope you had a great day and hope you have a great year!

We tried it a couple times when prices were under $100. We really enjoyed the experience but with the price now over $100 we don't even think about it.

When we started cruising almost 24 years ago we used a TA. Then we started booking direct. A couple years ago I met a guy while cruising who shared gave me a card of his TA. We have since booked several times to this great TA. It has saved us $100s of dollars and he has been sooo helpful. We will always use him now. Not just for the savings but he is a great guy.

The most memorable times of my youth is the time we spent a my grandparents house. Great memories. Your grandkids will be blessed with great memories too! Hang in there. Hope you feel better soon.

I harvested my last garlic today. I planted 178 and only lost 6. Out of the 172 I am setting aside 38 bulbs to plant in October. So I am only going to have 134 to use. Here is one of the racks of garlic. I also picked a couple of tomatoes. These are paste tomatoes. My Pineapple tomatoes should be ready soon and some are big. The Jimmy Nardello peppers are getting sooo long. I am waiting patiently for them to turn read. And there are a lot of them. 8 plants full of them and more coming. And the Watermelon is forming. It's more challenging working the garden this year but I love it.
