  1. Good morning all. Thanks for the daily report, recipes and lists. It’s going to be 86 with some rain today. Good because we need it. Three interesting days, I’ll definitely avoid stepping on a bee for sure. The quote is a little sad but true. I’ve bookmarked the second recipe that @dfish has so generously supplied, it sounds very tasty. I’d give the drink a go. I haven’t been to today’s port. I think that the advice that @kazu’s agent has given her is very sound in this market. It’s what our broker advised us to do and it sold for $80K over the asking price. Other units in our building that have set higher prices remain unsold. Prayers for those on our prayer list today. Cheers to those of us who are celebrating happy events!
  2. Good morning everyone. Thanks for the daily updates. Looks a warm and humid day here with some late afternoon thunderstorms today. We’ll be unpacking boxes and going out to get our dump pass, exciting stuff! I’m starting to get a cold so I’ll lay low. Not sure about the first day but dimples are always nice to celebrate. No bra day is a great way to recognize breast cancer awareness. Speaking of dimples we saw Sally Struthers in the play Crazy for You at the Ogunquit Playhouse on the Fourth of July. Funny quote today. Yes to the meal and drink suggestions, I haven’t had a mojito in ages. I haven’t been to today’s port Prayers for those on our prayer list. Cheers to those of you who are celebrating happy events today!
  3. Good morning everyone. Thanks for the daily digest, so much to know, eat and drink! A good day to visit a dive bar and ponder world forgiveness. I like the quote even though I don’t completely agree with it. Today’s meal and drink suggestions sound perfect for the warm, humid day that today will be. I haven’t been to today’s port. Today will be the calm before the storm as our furniture and belongings will be delivered. We only have to install a bracket on the wall in a bedroom where a headboard to a bed will attach. So far the neighbors that we’ve met have been very nice, takes the sting out of saying goodbye to the ones we left. Prayers for those on our prayer list. Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events today! Bon voyage to @luvteaching🍾🛳️
  4. Good morning everyone and happy Fourth of July! Thanks for today’s report, recipes and lists. Looks like it will be in the mid 70’s with a late afternoon shower. Three classic days to recognize today, I like them all especially older classic country music. I’ll pass on the meal and drink suggestions. I haven’t been to today’s port. Today we’ll spend the morning at our new house assessing what needs to be done an the going to a matinee play at the Ogunquit Playhouse and then dinner. Prayers for those on today’s prayer list. Happy ________ to those of you who are celebrating today.
  5. Good morning everyone. Thanks everyone for your contributions to this thread. Looks like it will be a nice day here. Three nice days to recognize, while I prefer to buy made in the USA items it’s much easier said than done. Curiosity on OFO’s, the Bermuda Triangle and Sasquatch all peaked around the same time when I was a kid, coincidence? Wildland firefighters start to get busy this time of year protecting us from devastating fires. I like the quote for some reason probably because I think he was pulling beauty out of chaos. Some people have that gift and I appreciate it. The meal sounds delicious. We used to drink Scorpion Bowls with foot long straws in my earlier lifetime that seem to be about the same thing as our Volcano. Think I’ll leave that one in the past. I haven’t been to today’s port but I did get a kick out of the movie poster that @Sir PMP shared. Prayers for those on today’s prayer list. Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events! After we check out of our hotel this morning we’re off to Maine!
  6. Rabbit, Rabbit, Rabbit Run. The name of the street we are moving to on Wednesday. I’ve been MIA the past few days as we’ve been busy getting our condo ready for the new owners tomorrow. I couldn’t let this day pass without wishing all of our Canadian friends a Happy Canada Day! 🇨🇦 Sorry to hear of @Seasick Sailor’s sister’s diagnosis, I will say a prayer for her before I turn in soon. I hope everyone has a wonderful rest of your day. I’m tired 🥱
  7. Good morning everyone. Just popping by to say a quick hello. Our movers will arriving this morning to start packing things up. Unfortunately DH development a head cold yesterday and is down for the count. It will be an interesting day indeed. Hope all of you have a nice Thursday!
  8. Good morning. Thanks for our daily dose of useful information. Looks like it will be a nice summer day with a high of 91F, perfect for canoeing. Bar codes have made our lives easier and fewer supermarket errors. I really enjoyed the Harry Potter series, I read the entire series one summer a few years back. I like the quote and I feel the same way occasionally. The meal and drink suggestions sound nice. The drink looks really unique. I have not been to today’s port. Prayers for those on our prayer list and for those who need them. Cheers to everyone who is celebrating a happy event today. Happy birthday to @mamaofami!🥂
  9. Good morning everyone. Thanks for our daily report, recipes and lists. It’s going to be a beautiful day here today. The only thing on our agenda is to meet with our closing attorney in preparation of the sale of our condo next Tuesday. The time has finally arrived, the movers will be packing us up on Thursday and Friday. Three nice days to celebrate. We are all seafarers so hats off to us! The quote is humorous, some people (myself included) need to work on their patience. The meal and drink suggestions sound tasty. I’m glad I’m not vegetarian, it seems to add an extra layer of complexity to life. I do like to have meatless lays though. I haven’t been to today’s port. Prayers for those on our prayer list. Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events. Happy birthday to @Crazy For Cats DH Juan!🎂
  10. Good morning everyone. Thanks for the daily updates. Looks like it will be a pleasant day here today. Perfect for the last minute errands that have popped up over the weekend. I’ll celebrate diplomacy in any fashion. I took back the lunch break when I retired. I like the quote; often doing the right thing isn’t very easy. I would like today’s meal suggestion as a side dish and I think I would pass on the drink. I have not been to today’s port. Praying for those on our prayer list. Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events today. Happy birthday to @Sharon in AZ and happy birthday to @StLouisCruisers’s DD! 🎂🎉!
  11. I can still hear the CKLW station jingle in my head. Sort of like the WLS jingle from Chicago.
  12. Good morning everyone. Thanks for the daily updates. Three nice days to celebrate. Being originally from the Detroit area and growing up in Michigan I had never heard of Detroit style pizza until a couple of years ago out here. We have a niece who was named as one of the top 100 women engineers in the US a few years ago. Boy did she bust through the glass ceiling of the farty old boy company where she had been working in MN landing a director’s position at a different company in Oregon. I love the quote, nothing better a good laugh as a tonic for what ails you! Both the meal and drink sound nice, perfect meal for the gloomy day we have. I haven’t been to today’s port. Prayers for those on our prayer list today. Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events. A very happy birthday to Roy @rafinmd! 🎂🎉
  13. Good morning everyone from an overcast and cooler Boston. Thanks for our daily dose of useful knowledge. I’ll most happily celebrate radiant peace and positive media. I think I’ll ignore the third. I agree with Euripides on today’s quote. I’m not sure that I would like today’s dish as eggplant is not my thing although I don’t think that I’ve ever seen Japanese Eggplant. The drink sounds like it would be a good brunch beverage. I’ve never been to today’s port. Prayers for those on our prayer list and for those who are in need of them. Cheers to everyone celebrating happy events. Enjoy your Saturday!
  14. Good morning everyone. Thanks for the daily updates. An evening thunderstorm came through yesterday and broke the heatwave that we were experiencing. Now it’s 70F and a bit humid, I’ll take it. I’ll celebrate yoga and making music, I’m really good at the savasana pose! I really like today’s quote, so much to take away from it. I’ll pass on the meal and maybe try the drink. I haven’t been to anywhere in Norway yet. Praying for those on our list today. Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events today!
  15. Good Thursday morning everyone. Thanks for the daily report, recipes and lists. Happy first day of summer (at 4:51pm), it has certainly felt like summer all week here! I’ll certainly take the flitch of bacon. I have my research for today with Nystagmus Day. I think surfing is such a cool sport, friends of ours moved to Biarritz and the surfers abound there. I really like today’s quote, it’s a call to look inside and see if there is any room for improvement. I think I’ll pass on the meal but since each drink recipe sounds tasty I’d try them both. I have not been to today’s port but am really enjoying your photos. Prayers for those on our prayer list. Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events!
  16. Good morning everyone. Thanks for the daily report and all of your contributions to it. It’s going to be another hot one here today, thankfully it didn’t get really hot yesterday until after I got home from the dentist with my temporary crown. Happy Juneteenth and the end of slavery in Texas. I haven’t seen Garfield in a long time. I hope that there is an end to sexual violence. Don’t know what the other day is all about. The quote leaves me baffled. Both the meal and the drink sound like a nice light meal for a hot day. I haven’t been to today’s port, it looks kind of desolate. Praying for those on our prayer list. I hope our friend @StLouisCruisers feels better soon and can enjoy an agreeable dinner this evening. Cheers to everyone celebrating happy events today!
  17. Good morning everyone. Thanks for the daily report, recipes and lists. Happy birthday to Clark Kent. Conquering hate speech is a noble endeavor unfortunately too much of it is learned at home. We enjoy sushi about once a week at our favorite sushi Douzo in Boston. I wonder if the quote is true. Books can change minds but not always for the better. Today‘s meal sounds nice but I would pass on the drink. Off to the dentist this morning to have a broken molar looked at, cha-ching! Prayers for those on our prayer list, hoping that things improve. Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events today!
  18. We loved the proximity to the back deck which was quasi-private with easy access to the seaview pool, bar and lido restaurant. The bathroom has definitely seen better days but the stewards kept it spotless. The room itself was very well laid out. It was our first experiment with a non balcony or Neptune Suite as we recently retired and don’t need all of the frills to which we’ve become accustomed. Just know that your room will be either very warm or very cold, there is no adjusting the temperature. Not sure what a fan would have accomplished when it was very warm other than function as a convection oven!
  19. Yes @shuconn we definitely had cabin temperature issues with our oceanview cabin 7086. When we boarded the ship in Montreal our cabin was incredibly warm and stayed that way for the first two days. After bringing it to the attention of guest services twice and to our cabin stewards twice the problem was not resolved. It wasn’t until we reported the issue in the Navigator app “Tell Us How We’re Doing” feature did an engineer finally resolve the issue. And resolve it he did, our cabin then remained Very Cold like 62F for the remainder of the cruise. The thermostat in the room was useless as it never made a difference both when the room was very warm and when it was very cold. It may have been due to where the cabin was located but we were not pleased. This was related to our cabin only.
  20. Good morning all. Another nice day in store here before the heatwave starts here tomorrow. I’ll celebrate the days with a diet Stewart’s Root Beer and toast the other two days with it. It seems like the quote can be interpreted two ways. One way is she just wants life over with and the other because you know that it comes around once you cherish it more. I’ll go with the second interpretation. The meal sounds like it has potential and I would like the drink, I think. We spent two nights in Talkeetna near the train station. We enjoyed our stay there very much. It’s from where we flew around Denali. Prayers for everyone on our prayer list. Cheers to those celebrating happy events. Happy birthday to @durangoscots and congratulations to @StLouisCruisers’ Cruise Critic anniversary! 🎂🎉
  21. Good morning everyone. Happy Father’s Day to all the fathers out there. They were out in force at Mass today! Three important days to recognize. I like the quote, it’s one of those thinking kinds. I’ll pass on the meal but say yes to the drink. I haven’t been to today’s port. Prayers for those on our prayer list today. Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events!
  22. Good morning evening everyone. Thanks for today’s updates, much better than reading the news in the morning! Three nice days to celebrate, my friend Tom’s birthday is today so I never forget flag day! The quote made me chuckle. Both the meal and drink sound tasty. I like a well made Mai Tai from time to time. I haven’t been to today’s port. Prayers for everyone on our prayer list and a special one for safe travels today for @Cruzin Terri. Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events today. Bon voyage to @Lady Hudson🍾🚢
  23. Good morning everyone. Thanks for today’s report. Another beautiful and warmer day in store for us. It’s been a busy week scheduling utilities and services shutoffs and startups. Today will be exploring house insurance options and my annual physical. Out of the three days I think that I’ll celebrate axe-throwing. My old company did that at one of our summer outings and it was a blast, kitchen klutzes may wish to abstain! No to today’s meal and drink suggestions, I prefer my radishes crisp and cold or more preferably, fresh out of the ground and washed. A nice quote by Plato although DH, who studied philosophy, just rolled his eyes when I read it out loud. I haven’t been to today’s port but I am enjoying all of the photos that folks graciously share. Prayers for everyone on our prayer list. Happy ________ to those of you who are celebrating today! 🥂
