    Elizabeth, my sis asked a Chinese friend to translate:

     

    The top line = the beautiful pearl and crystal is dazzling and radiant. 

    The bottom line = it’s loved by people all over the world. 

    Middle two words = special gift 

     

    ETA: My other sis’ MiL says: Just advertised that the pearls, crystals, shinning, being loved by most people.

    The True Story of Sinko de Mayo, according to Big Joe Henry

     

    A little known fact is that back in 1912, Hellmann's mayonnaise was manufactured in England. In fact, the Titanic was carrying 12,000 jars of the condiment scheduled for delivery in Vera Cruz, Mexico, which was to be the next port of call for the great ship after its stop in New York. This would have been the largest single shipment of mayonnaise ever delivered to Mexico. But as we know, the great ship did not make it to New York.

     

    The ship hit an iceberg and sank and the cargo was forever lost. The people of Mexico, who were crazy about mayonnaise and were eagerly awaiting its delivery, were disconsolate at the loss. Their anguish was so great that they declared a National Day of Mourning, which they still observe to this day.

     

    The National Day of Mourning occurs each year on May 5 and is known, of course, as Sinko de Mayo.

    I’m so sorry, @atexsix Bruno. You are such a good son taking care of your dad all this time. I remember meeting you both in Seattle before getting on the NA for Alaska. 

     

    May the memories of the good times with your dad give you peace. Take care. 🙏

    By the wording of your notice, it might be canceled for only your cruise.  You are the very first cruise of the Season, Port staffing for this program might be the issue.

    If I remember correctly, this also happened last year? The first cruise or 2 did not have Port Valet.

    Happy Easter weekend. 🐣✝️

     

    Well, it’s raining again. Luckily I’m not in a flood area but it could be bad for others. Mudslides and houses slipping down the hill. 😳

     

    I’ll go to my church today so I can (hopefully) take my DMiL to her church tomorrow for Easter services. Sometimes she doesn’t like to go out in the rain. 

     

    Prayers for the Care List and Cheers for the Celebration List. Thank you all for caring and sharing. Stay safe and healthy everyone.
