That should be interesting to see! We saw it from our ship...enjoy!!

I'm sorry to hear this. It was such a long, drawn-out project this past Summer with the guy we used...never again! At least the roof/chimney guy we just hired has called and shown up. There's still hope! I sure hope your concreter follows through on your project.🤞 Thank you so much. This too shall pass...2023 can't come soon enough for us..lol! It looks like you all had a wonderful time on Adventure!🛳️

We were thrilled to see the Volcano on our Hawaiian cruise years ago. The Captain announced about what time we would be passing. Awesome experience! It was at nighttime, and we could see the Lava flowing down the mountain, and see the steam from the lava hitting the Ocean. I was jealous of those with telescopic cameras who were able to take close-up pictures. My camera was somewhat useless...

Oh well, they sure were beautiful, though!😉 LOL!

It will take four or five days. It is definitely a lot more than we expected. We had gotten the inspector through word of mouth. It seems there's a lot he missed. Our daughter's friend also used him...they weren't happy after the fact... It sure is expensive! Way more than what I had hoped it would be for a complete rebuild. I'm also realistic enough to know how building supplies have gone through the roof, and there's 3 or 4 workers involved.

I hope your symptoms remain mild!

Thanks, Dani. My daughter mentioned a second opinion, but to be honest, they were showing the crumbling pieces as well as the wide cracks. After dealing with the guys who worked on the front of our house this Summer, who never called if they weren't coming, who showed up on occasion, etc. we really like this roofing and chimney guy. He shows up when he says he is, and he calls if they won't be coming. We are just so shocked at the dangerous condition the chimney is in, and of course, what the job will now entail and what the cost has to be. Thanks Bonnie! Insurance work all done, now my daughter will scan and email the volume of papers!🙄

Great underwater pictures! Glad you're having a great time on your cruise😊

My head is spinning! I finally finished our Travel Insurance papers...our daughter is scanning them so I can email the volume of papers for our claim. Last week we had a shingle replaced on our roof, and we were shown pictures of our chimney that needed to be repaired. We agreed on the price for the top of the chimney to be replaced. When they were going to put the scaffold up, today, we were told how dangerous it was and how our chimney is crumbling...they showed us the pictures....we were not expecting this surprise. It all has to come down...the hits just keep coming with this house. Our contractor asked how long we've been in this house..6 years...he told us that we were "screwed" (his words) by the people we bought it from. He said it has been in bad shape, and the previous owners just had a quick cosmetic stucco job done. 😔

Your grandson really is artistic! How old is he now?

That pecan cake sure looks delicious, Dani!

Rocco looks exhausted! Does the Lego Gingerbread house get taken apart and put back in the box each year, or does it stay all together once it's been constructed? I think Ricky hit the jackpot the day he became part of your grandchildren's family!

Sorry your trip home was horrendous, Deb! We left West Hartford around 10:30 am and made it home in the normal 3 and a half hours it usually takes us. I was happily surprised, since it's the end of the Thanksgiving weekend. I have to say though, any time we are heading home from Ct., there's always much more traffic heading North in the opposite direction than us, Absolutely Tappan Zee...never will be Mario Cuomo Bridge in my book! Always, always, always will be the Tappan Zee, Bonnie!😉 We'll be going to dinner with 8 of our dear friends this coming Wednesday! Jim and our daughters had a Wawa Gobbler sandwich the day after Thanksgiving. It consists of turkey, gravy, stuffing, cranberry, and mashed potatoes or sweet potatoes, on a hoagie roll. They said it was delicious!

Sounds delicious! I'll have to try putting cole slaw on a sandwich.😊

We went up to Ct. to see our daughter, SIL and our three oldest grandchildren. It's been a while, since two of them are in College, and the youngest is a HS Senior; they all were home together for their Thanksgiving weekend. Their lives are all so busy, while we were there, the youngest left for a couple of hours to babysit, our grandson went to the store to stock up on snacks and drinks for his dorm room, and our oldest granddaughter was working in the hospital this weekend. We did get to see her for a short visit when she got home after 8pm last night, but she had to be up at 5:30 this morning to get back to the hospital, so she retired early. Time is so short..you blink, and the kids are all grown up.....

It sounds like your granddaughter is feeling much better! I'm curious about your sandwich, Mark. What kind of sandwich is this?
