  1. Good morning everyone from a warm, rainy and very windy Boston. Thanks for the daily report. A good day to stay in and bake cookies. I guess the quote can relate to everyone. The meal sounds nice but I’ll pass on the drink. I haven’t been to today’s port prayers for all on our prayer list today. Cheers to those of you celebrating happy events and happy birthday to @ottahand7!
  2. Good morning and thanks for the daily updates. No better day to reconcile than today. Chocolate covered truffles would be nice. Not sure about stupid toys but Lucy from the Peanuts characters certainly felt strongly about them! The quote is good advice. I got my Covid booster yesterday and it kicked my you know what! I was achy with a low fever all night long. It finally broke at 7am when I woke up drenched in sweat but feeling less achy. Will pass on the meal and drink suggestions today. I haven’t been to today’s port. Prayers for everyone on our prayer list. Cheers to those of you who are celebrating happy events!
  3. Good morning everyone. Thanks for the daily report, recipes and lists. I admire all you cat herders out there. Not into regifting, it seems kind of cheesy to me. I’d rather donate something I didn’t want to a charity shop, someone else might buy it. I do like a cup of tea in the mid-afternoon. I like today’s quote although Almira Gultch in The Wizard of Oz didn’t instill much confidence. I’ll pass on the meal and drink suggestions as we’ll be having leftover beef, cabbage and barley soup from yesterday, which was delicious and simple to make (recipe one). Prayers for everyone on today’s prayer list. Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events. Safe travels to those of you who are making your way to your cruises!
  4. Hi @kazu, we’ve cancelled our 5/25/24 14 day Norway cruise on Rotterdam and replaced it with the 6/1/24 7 night Canada/ New England cruise on the Volendam.
  5. Good morning everyone from a sunny, chilly (29F) Boston. Thanks for the daily report, recipes and lists. I’ve been MIA the past two days as we went on our annual Christmas shopping trip to Freeport, ME via the train. Today is my Aunt Roberta’s funeral service in Detroit, MI. Her family only wanted a small service at the funeral home due to her age and the fact that our family is so scattered, so my sister will be representing our family. Thank-you everyone for your kind thoughts and prayers. There’s always room for more good. I try and conserve energy every day. We tried roasting chestnuts once and didn’t feel it was worth the effort. I like today’s quote very much. The soup sounds like a winner that I may try this evening. The drink also sounds nice. I haven’t been to today’s port. Prayers for everyone on our prayer list today. Cheers to those of you who are celebrating happy events today. Happy anniversary to @Sharon in AZ!
  6. Good morning everyone. Thanks for the daily updates. What would we do without our apps? I didn’t realize that there were food drives for needy animals. I remember trick or treating for UNICEF when I was little. I live by today’s quote, when I was in business school we learned that a professional’s most valuable asset was time. Both the meal and drink suggestions sound tasty. We visited today’s port over Thanksgiving, I’ll try attaching some photos that I took from Portland’s Japanese Garden. Prayers for those on today’s prayer list and a special one for my Aunt Roberta who died last evening. She was my father’s remaining sibling and we were very close. Cheers to those of you who are celebrating happy events today.
  7. Good morning all. Thanks for the daily updates. Hooray for the Dewey Decimal System, animal rights and lagers! No on the meal suggestion but I’ll try the drink. Prayers for those on today’s prayer list. Cheers to everyone celebrating happy events!
  8. Good morning everyone. Thank-you for the daily report, recipes and lists. I’ll be celebrating Christmas Card Day by actually starting mine. I don’t think I understand today’s quote so I’ll have to mull it over. The meal suggestion sounds great as does the drink. I haven’t been to today’s port. Prayers for those on our prayer list today. Cheers to those celebrating happy events today!
  9. Good morning. Thanks for the daily update, recipes and lists. Nice collection of days, I have a sister living in Illinois who I’ll have to educate today as I’m sure has no idea. We should all celebrate joy today, if we can. If I ever have a halo, which is highly unlikely, I’d spring for a self-cleaning model. Risotto, no wine?! Interesting sounding drink, maybe a taste of someone else’s for me please. I haven’t been to today’s port but will be visiting this upcoming year so thanks for the nice photos. Prayers for everyone on our prayer list, good luck to @Sharon in AZ today with your eye surgery. Cheers to those of you who are celebrating happy events!
  10. Good morning everyone. Woke up to snow flurries, finally. I was getting jealous of everyone’s snow reports. I love snow, there I’ve said it! Thanks for the daily report, recipes and lists. Three nice days to celebrate, I like them all. Really appreciate the work that miners do as I’m claustrophobic. The soup sounds nice but I’ll pass on the drink. I like today’s quote, a good reminder to enjoy today. Haven’t been to today’s port. Prayers for all on the prayer list. Cheers to everyone celebrating happy events and a special cheer to baby Maeve!
  11. Good morning everyone. Thank-you for our daily dose of useful information. Definitely be celebrating blue jeans by wearing them today. I like the quote, many cannot for reasons beyond their control. The lentils sound like a good side dish. I might like today’s drink but I usually have to be in the mood for bananas. I haven’t been to today’s port. Prayers for everyone on our prayer list. Cheers to those of you celebrating happy events today like @GTVCRUISER!
  12. Good morning. Thanks for the daily updates. Cheetahs are beautiful cats that I will happily celebrate. Cookies are worth celebrating every day. If the quote means what I think it does it’s a little sad. The meal suggestion sounds like something that I would like. I think the drink is too. I’ve been to today’s port multiple times and will again in February. Prayers for everyone on our prayer list today. Happy _________ to those of you celebrating today! We’re off to get our Christmas tree this morning 🎄
  13. Good morning from a cool, drizzly Boston. Thanks for the daily updates. Three good days to recognize, a lot of progress has been made to make life easier for those with disabilities with more to be done. Love green bean casserole and hugs. Fun quote although the Lone Ranger may have run its course when I was little as I don’t remember ever watching it. The meal suggestion sounds great but I think I’ll pass on the drink. I haven’t been to today’s port. Prayers for those on the prayer list. Cheers to everyone celebrating happy events today,
  14. Good morning everyone. Thanks for the daily report, recipes and lists. A mild, overcast day in store here, perfect for the South End Stroll in our neighborhood, a holiday bazaar including the shops and churches in our area. Cheers to all of our favorite bartenders. I’ll pass on the meal and drink today but I have to say that we had yesterday’s arctic char suggestion for dinner last evening and it was delicious, totally worth the effort to make the sauce. Prayers for everyone on our prayer list. Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events today!
  15. Completely missed @Sharon in AZ’s post yesterday with the results from her procedure. Great news and I hope the recovery goes smoothly.
  16. Rabbit, rabbit, rabbit 🐇. Good morning everyone. Thanks for the daily report, recipes and lists. Lots of reasons to be grateful today; Christmas lights keep is entertained in the long dark days, how far we’ve come in the struggle to understand the Aids virus and Romania’s independence! The quote is a good reminder that the Americas had been “discovered” long before Europeans arrived. The meal sounds tasty and the drink sounds like a nice sipping cocktail. I haven’t been to today’s port. Prayers for all on our prayer list today. Cheers to those of you celebrating happy events! 🥂
  17. The accountants don’t care whether you’re making money or losing money as they will always have a job. Management should probably take notice though. -Retired Accountant
  18. Good evening everyone. Whew what a busy day unpacking, laundry, dermatology appointment and beginning to decorate for the holidays. Don’t have much time to respond to today’s daily other than to say hooray for @rafinmd’s release from the hospital and to offer prayers for those on our prayer list. Attached is the fruit of today’s labor (can’t quite figure out how I ever found time to work).
  19. Good morning from the Charlotte airport awaiting our connection to Boston. Thanks for the daily report, recipes and lists. Nice collection of days. I learned how to square dance in the third grade, I remember that it was a lot of fun. Chocolate Day is sure to please many here today. I would definitely like a piece of lemon cream pie! I like the quote very much. The meal and drink suggestions sound delicious. I haven’t been to today’s port. Prayers for everyone on our prayer list, hoping that @rafinmd continues to improve. Cheers to everyone celebrating happy events!
  20. Good morning from Seattle, our last day out here before we fly home this evening. Thanks for the daily updates. Nice collection of days, especially letter writing. Not sure that I’m liking the quote much. I am liking the meal and drink suggestions though. I was in Naples in September, a very interesting city. We thought it was very real. Prayers for all on our prayer list today with thoughts for @rafinmd’s speedy recovery. Cheers to those of you who are celebrating happy events today!
