So we live far enough away from the storm damaged tornado areas. But we did benefit from the beauty of nature. I wonder if it’s a sign that I should look for “The Pot of Gold at the end of the rainbow”? Safe travels to all.

Aweee schucks. Wouldn’t that be something if I won something!!! If I do you will hear it here. After my Quantum casino experience. Yea I won some. Lost more. Hoping this cruise for let’s just say “ break even”. Be safe.

Looking forward to my daily scenic walk. Keep in ship shape.

My brother and his furry friend ( dog) are camping out here. Refrigerator stocked well. We are close and take care of one another. As well as pets. We babysit his dog when he travels. Be safe.

Rain thunder and lightning here Some winds. Our area safe. Lifting tornado warning at 7:30 Be safe.

Tornado on ground north of us in Garretsville A lot of thunder and lightning where we are. 🙏

Done packing for now. In basement.

Best way for our kitty to help us finish packing

I cannot stop thinking about this cruise. Just found this in my photos. Cannot wait to be near this for photo shoot.

Poor Lizzy just realized something is going on in the house. Animals seem to know when routines change. Time to give kitty treats and neck rubs. 💕

Starting to get the traditional fan mail from RCI. We have first checkin time and in our suite. So. We can checkin when doors open. Last time we were in waiting area at 10:05 am. 😁

The following showed up on social media. I do not own rights —- just copied as it was shared there. But how coincidental. But I’ll settle for an 8 day cruise. 😁

So after our June cruise on Allure out of Galveston the time spent in casino I found this little piece of paper in our cabin. So after much consideration and thought provoking discussion ( haha) we saw Symphony- April. Looked up itinerary. No brainer. Booked onBoard. Now some maybe doubtful of my investment so far. But in reality our final receipt says it all. As you see we paid $78. Vacation protection plan $296 Gratuities $229.92 Taxes. Which so far totals $603.92 for our “free” cruise Now being Diamond plus gets us 10 free thirst quencher’s daily. ( yup another lol) we rarely drink. And I am signature in casino. So we do not buy alcohol package. We do not do extra specialty dinning we enjoy Coastal Kitchen — except that one night when they have that goofy menu so I eat off kids menu. We paid for one excursion, I have to look up that price. Turtles in Curacao We were reimbursed for the zip line in Labadee. ( yup me zip lining) would have been third time. Ok. That’s all for now. Off to buy feeder fish for our pet turtles Slo-poke and Peeve. Peeve was our daughters turtle and when we asked her why did you name it Peeve. Her response was priceless. “Everyone has to have a pet peeve” Be safe Batten down the hatches Storms a coming.

Good morning. Yup. 3:45am. Mind racing. Trying to remember everything I need to put in suitcases. Suitcases. Remember my pretty purple luggage. Well after our Quantum cruise last August flying home was an experience. Seattle to Denver circled and circled and circled over many a western state due to all the storms. Arrived in Denver very delayed. The reason we did not miss our connector was our plane turned into connector to Cleveland. Although I was anxious from non stop turbulence. I survived without getting sick. However our pretty purple luggage was trashed, damage, broken some where somehow on the journey. So, as we started planning for this vacation we did purchase new pretty purple luggage. ( pictures to follow). If I wake up the spouse now let’s just say not going there. He has to work today. Where am I going with this?????? I plan on sharing how much this “free” cruise in a grand suite costs. Now, a few expenses will not be include. That being they were gifts. Or I’m not going to share. Stay tuned. But wait till you see my pretty purple luggage. Be safe.

Getting ready to cruise. This is our FREE RCI cruise. ( more details on that later) One email we received a few weeks back. We will miss Labadee. More to come.

Ok Favorite movie. Fifty shades of Grey. 😳

Our checkin for next weeks cruise. Picture. Passport info and time all blank when we looked on web site. HMMMMM

You won’t be checking in. We are in similar boat. We sail soon and would like to do simple health check before we get to port Always something. Be safe.

2 min 50 seconds total darkness ZZoey would not wear glasses. So put a shirt over her and chair Turned chair around. AMAZING!!!!’

Preparing from Oxford for eclipse. If I was traveling home today here are two sections of roads I would be on. The governor said police presence would be increased. Skies clear Dogs in bedroom ZZOEY napping Waking up the little one closer to total eclipse. Be safe.

Hi everyone. I am so happy my life centers around retirement. With so much free time. NOT! This past weekend I was in charge of the cookie table for our parish center dedication for one of the best Priests a Catholic Community could ask for. Now I made the buckeyes, nut keiffels, Kolachi and Almond soft batch. The women of our parish also baked for a combined total of 34 varieties. Need I say it was a great success. Today I drove for one of my few remaining babysitter for Zoey as my daughter and son in law will be relocating to a new city. Brandon was accepted as the new assistant strength and conditioning coach at ………..(to be shared soon) as he makes the official announcement. Let’s just say it will make my travels much shorter 😁 And tomorrow here in Oxford Ohio I have my eclipse glasses in preparation of the sun event. Plus getting ready for our Symphony cruise in a tad under 2 weeks. Take care. Be safe.

Good morning. At 5:32 am I was awoken by a massive thunderbolt. It shook the whole house. Rain. High winds and the thunder and lightning continued for over 45 min. I actually thought it was an invasion like the movie. “War of the Worlds “. I have not experienced that significant type of a storm in years. Today, more storms. Also our current weather map. Be safe.

Love your idea. Our SIL was one of the football coach for Eastern Kentucky University—— Smack in the middle of the “Bourbon Trail “. He collected a few souvenirs while working there. Yup. All those so souvenirs and he rarely drinks, always training and the “refreshments” are not on his diet. Here is where they are stored.

@Luckynana My condolences. @dani negreanu I hope you feel better soon. Take care.

For dinner tonight we celebrated Easter dinner, only because I’ll be traveling tomorrow and wanted to share this holiday with my husband. So: turkey mash potatoes stuffing gravy green bean casserole Now tomorrow Easter dinner with Christina, Brandon and Zoey. Baggies to go. 💕
