And I will bring that rain jacket I have in the closet too. Hopefully as the cruise goes by the weather will improve! Hope your weather improves. That rain jacket may get some use!

I had it down to a cuisinart TOA-60 - small enough for my counter and decent reviews. Everywhere around here didn't have it. i knew Amazon had it and I waited to see if it was on Early Access. Bingo! 55% off, only $103. My left arm is feeling much better today. I couldn't sleep last night until the Advil kicked in. 5 hours of sleep is better than none. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MrToblerone Posted October 12, 2022 #6358 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Hi Kat ,Love the Halloween decorations we don't really have them here ,a few houses make an effort but not many.it looks fun and your photos are amazing. Hi Melody and Sherri Ive also started to look on amazon for Christmas ideas ,it is endless and can be overwhelming ,I suppose its best to have an idea of what you want. I do hope the weather forecast improves for your cruise Lois ,you still have awhile to go so anything could happen. My second treatment went well ,four to go !

Rare Lois R Posted October 12, 2022 #6360 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Hi girls from rainy North Florida........ I have been looking for a new black cardigan and went to multiple stores but could not find "the one". Then yesterday I decided to try "ROSS" and found one......it was only 15.00 and I thought this will work. (That is after going to about 6 other stores).....this morning I needed to get some new readers at the 1.00 store LOL......on the way home I stopped at Nordstrom Rack just to see what cardigans they had and I found another one I like even better. Yes, it was more $ but it really called my name. I will be returning the first one back to Ross so no harm, no foul. The newest one is really nice......is a bit heavier and a better made knit.......MAX STUDIO and I know it will last a really long time😀so I find 2 in 2 days after not being able to find one for a week LOL........ 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lois R Posted October 12, 2022 #6362 Share Posted October 12, 2022 Sorry the picture is so big.........🤔and it looks like a true black in person. The picture seems to pick it up lighter. It is definitely deeper than that photo. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sjb317 Posted October 13, 2022 #6365 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Nice sweater, Lois! Always nice when you find exactly what you want! I am trying to decide what to pack for our river cruise, we leave next Thursday. I have been watching temps in Budapest, Amsterdam, etc. and it looks like what we experienced in Canada. I found when we were off the ship, I was too hot. So, I am planning on raincoat, Burton hoodie and a few light weight pullover sweaters, although I did not wear them at all on our cruise. I am increasing the number of short sleeve t shirts I take as I did not have enough on last cruise. My husband says river cruising is very casual, would you experienced cruisers agree with that?

awhfy Posted October 13, 2022 #6366 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Sherri, looking forward to your river cruise pictures. We’ve not been on one but are really thinking about one. Have a great time. Are you going to do any of the bicycle tours? lightweight sweaters Chicos has them. I bought one & ordered another yesterday. The one I brought home looks like denim but is so soft & comfy. I see it becoming a real staple. Melody Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sjb317 Posted October 13, 2022 #6367 Share Posted October 13, 2022 We may do a bike tour, I know we have several walking tours planned. We have done bike tours in other countries and they have always been fun. My husband is doing all of the planning for this cruise so I really have no idea what we are doing. I am just showing up each day! This is really unusual for me as I am typically the one in charge. It kind of nice for a change.😂 Sherri🙂 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I do layer but my layers came off as soon as we got out of the terminal in Quebec!😂. It was 62 and overcast, I had to take off my lightweight pullover and pull my sleeves up on my tshirt. My hoodie never came out of the backpack. I think this time, I will start with just tshirt, maybe even one with short sleeves, then add to it from backpack if needed. Can I just wear the shirt and jeans I wore during the daytime during evening hours? Sherri🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

But yes, I would say you will be fine in those same clothes. What cruise line are you sailing? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

slidergirl Posted October 13, 2022 Author #6374 Share Posted October 13, 2022 Lois - i like the sweater you chose! Sherri - wow - river cruise! i think you are smart to add those short sleeve Ts into the mix, especially since you are going to layer if you have to. Got my modera Bivalent vax yesterday. Word must have gotten around town that the Walmart was getting in a shipment yesterday morning - it was crowded. In and out took about 20 minutes. Poor pharmacist was bouncing between vaxes and prescription stuff. Got the vax in my left arm since it got sore from the pneumonia vax the other day - if it was going to get sore, might as well keep it in the arm. Happily, no pain, no swelling and I had no after effects 24 hours in. i'm all good and fully vaxxed now, ready to encounter my Winter Season guests! I do have to go out sometime today to pick up carrot, celery and some parmesean rind. i'm making ribolitta tonight. I got everything else, but forgot about those 3 things. oops. Brain fog. Usually i remember everything I need for it from memory. OOTD: maybe I'll switch it up and put on one of my Athleta cargo pants - my jeans need a rest and a wash, Probably a long sleeve Tshirt and then my hi tops. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
