We liked Wonderland but it is not for everyone. I don't do Playmakers so I didn't notice it missing. Having the UDP next week, I did notice Allure is missing it. If Allure had Playmakers I would be trying the food there. Symphony had free Mexican and I did not like it. I liked the CK breakfast and lunch. Didn't bother eating dinner there. Had a bad dinner on Symphony at CK so we skipped Harmony. They had a great place to watch the NCAA football Championship game!

We will be trying out Giovanni’s next week. We did Jamie's a couple times and I didn't care for it. The others I cruised with liked it the 1st cruise but we were all disappointed the second time.

I was checking out Harmony out of Galveston and unless I overlooked every 7 day cruise is the same itinerary. I actually think it's the same ports we are going to on Allure in January. I am not ruling it out yet. Sometimes we just want to cruise no matter what ports.

I basically like Oasis class ships for the entertainment and the specialty restaurants. The 1st time we did Harmony it was new. We did Harmony last January and it is still doing great. I was highly considering a Harmony 8 day for January but the prices for an OVB jumped pretty high. I had our TA friend check out all the Oasis class ships for January and the Allure out of Galveston was hard to pass on. We will also be boarding Allure this Saturday. Remind me and I will try to let you know if I see big differences in the two.

We have another couple that cruise with us out of the time and we do the same thing. For others note that you do not have to be sharing the same cabin to do it this way.

Are you saying Harmony is going out of Galveston at the end of 2023? Looks like I need to check it out. We love cruising Harmony.

Allure needs to stay in Galveston at least through January.

I also keep a ladder in the garden. 😆 My OT daughter that works at a nursing home is not too thrilled about the ladder but loves tomatoes... 🤔

Thankful you made it home safe. I really enjoyed you taking us along. Thanks.

Just regular hay.

Only the far end is 3 high. The other is 2 and buried some. Our property is sloped so I have to build up one side to level it out. The shallow end is about 12 to 14 inches deep. Yes it takes extra dirt but I had now choice. The end with 3 stacked is actually harder to work. When the tomatoes grow over 8 feet tall there is almost an extra 2 feet to reach up so to get to the higher tomatoes I have to step up on the blocks and balance on them to reach. I made them out of blocks because wood got so costly it cost about the same to use block. The blocks will last so much longer. I also like the holes in the blocks. I grow basil and marigolds in them. It is a lot harder to build with blocks because you have to be so careful to keep it level all the way around.

@Sunshine3601 finished putting a core in one bed today. I usually do this in the spring but I want to get my garlic in by Wednesday.

The moon tonight is bright. I like how it lit up the clouds.

That's a really cool pic.

That sounds like a good plan. Good variety. My brother that lives up in Ohio is putting the finishing touches on a greenhouse he is building. He said it was 88⁰ inside it today. Good luck with the garden. Let's hope we all have a better growing season next year.

Nice job with the raised beds! Do you have plans yet for what you will grow in them?

I really didn't realize how much I liked them. This is my first batch. I made up the recipe. I 1st sauteed some onions and garlic and chopped up real good. I fried up some hamburger with my homemade brisket seasoning. Stirred it all together with some roasted tomatoes. My DD is highly allergic to rice so I substituted couscous. Also mixed in some sharp cheddar. I have also fallen in love with jalapeno poppers wrapped in bacon this year. They say peppers are high in vitamin C and other vitamins. And we all know how good bacon is for you. 😆

If there was a game I wanted to see that started at 7am, I would be recording it and watching later. 👀

Trying to use up the peppers.

Hope you have a fun and safe adventure! Pics please.

😆 Another misread for me. I thought, skiing in White Pass? You would freeze to death! Then I realized you were not talking about water skiing. I guess when you live in the South water comes to mind before ❄️ snow.

Looks nice. Did you try them on?.

I remember you and I think Greg discussing Olukai awhile ago when I was needing new flip flops. I ended up getting some Olukai. I like the arch support.

Happy 6th birthday to your good looking grandson. Kenzie is 2. That is the same age difference between me and Sharon. 🤔 who knows what the future holds.

It is getting better. It's now 64⁰ and the sun feels good. I am envious of the light rain. I think we had rain twice in the last 5 or 6 weeks. It's been a challenge gardening this year. BTW, 41⁰ is not cool. 🥶 It is C@#d. Close to W!*/&R like. 😆
