I think I've mentioned that I've found an 90% replacement for the September 2020 we both missed -- Apex in September 2021, 12 days, including Malta. I was sure that September 2021 is a safe bet... Last week I've decided to "hedge" my bets, and transferred part of the deposit to another Edge class (Edge) for May 2022. The itinerary is nothing to write home about, but I absolutely need a cruise and want to experiment the Edge class. As of now, I have 2 cruises booked on Apex & Edge, both with refundable deposits.... Sadly, I'm quite sure that September 2021 will be a "no" 😢. Yes, I really wanted to book a Med cruise late summer/fall 2021 but I highly doubt cruises will be happening then. Hopeful for 2022, but as I wrote in an earlier post I'm not booking anything until Covid gets under some kind of control and I'm fully vaccinated. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dbancroft Posted February 13, 2021 #7805 Share Posted February 13, 2021 @A&L_Ont Hope your wife is enjoying Valentines and birthday weekend. For the last year since no going out we have made birthday weekends instead. Birthday person gets to choose all meals and does not have to clean up after. We are lucky (knock on wood) 6 of us live together and oldest daughter works at Children's Hospital in D.C. we have not had issues with covid so far. The logistics of working from home and virtual learning for both grandchildren has been hard but the kids seem to enjoy being home not like us grown ups getting house happy. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

firefly333 Posted February 13, 2021 #7807 Share Posted February 13, 2021 I'll post snow pictures from dallas tomorrow. I'm snug at home, though the cold seeps into my house. Waiting to see all this forecast snow. Looking forward to it. I got a extra gallon of milk and a few things yesterday so we dont run out for a while. Plan to stay home. At most walk down to the school for some snow pictures tomorrow 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Weird February. 82 a little warm, but I'd take it over 23 degrees. They say tomorrow near blizzard conditions, strong winds, near 0 visibility, lots of snow, forecast keeps increasing. Hard to imagine now tbh. My sister and bil with covid are worse. I think he should probably be in the hospital. Neither eating, and now he is running a temperature. Idk how bad is considered bad enough with covid to be in the hospital. His doctor already said he has bronchitis and she has pneumonia. Tomorrow I'm not leaving except on foot to take pictures.

It's that he started a higher temperature today worries me. My mom thinks they wanted to keep him in the hospital but he came home from ER because my sister needed to be watched. But hes awfully sick, sicker than she is my mom thinks. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Keksie Posted February 13, 2021 #7821 Share Posted February 13, 2021 7 hours ago, island lady said: We left our 20 plus foot tree back at our old house. It was quite happy in our side yard...I miss it. That was my first attempt at growing one. I cut the top off the Pineapple, leaving about 2 inches of "Meat" attached to the green top. Stick that in a bowl of water (no toothpics needed) and keep water changed daily (or will start to stink and rot). Leave it in the water for about a week, then transfer to good quality garden soil in a pot with the yellow meat part covered completely. Then Bucky takes over. Doesn't need a lot of water as it grows, and in fact just water the green part...not the soil. More on that: Pineapples are of the Bromeliad family (genus: Ananas). They are tropical, succulent plants, needing more air humidity than fluid water. There are over 2,500 natural species with thousands more hybrids and cultivars.Jan 23, 2020 Thank you for the instructions. Fun things to try. I like to have producing plants around. Currently I have figs, loquats, pineapple guava, blueberries, blackberries and some weird lemons that came with the house. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The week before and after Easter are 4 day weeks then the following week is the delayed March break unless we are into the third wave in which case we could all be back at home again. Toby was happy with things opening back up...he has his DL test scheduled for the 23rd and they start back up the 18th. With everything being closed he missed many of his drivers training sessions but will complete those after his licence for the insurance discount. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem with learning how to drive in a cart is that he thinks drifting and not using the brakes is normal.😳 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Imo they both should be in the hospital if having respiratory/pneumonia issues. There are some treatments that may help them. Also, they have to stay hydrated. I was told if my fever exceeded 100.4 to get to the hospital. Maybe some gatorade or propel water with electrolytes. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
