Over that time I have booked 13 cruises, trying to build up the bookings again after so many cancellations 😮 Four of them due to invite from Cruise Wizard Gary, and this last two today,..... due to my sister wanting 65th birthday celebration with big sister along. And of course, replenishing our lost bucket list to Australia again. Guess I figure if I start tossing enough against the wall again....something might stick again! 😉 I certainly hope you get to go on all those cruises Pat. I have booked 4 new cruises this last week. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I personally am addicted to old 50’s and 60’s westerns like Gunsmoke and Have gun will travel among others. Ace likes those shows also. Maybe that’s all he watches?

I'm ready to get on a ship. Almost every aspect of my life is back to normal pre-pandemic ways. With the exception that it harder to get a seat at a restaurant during peak times and wearing masks when going into retail establishments. I should be vaccinated sometime next month and am chomping to get going. The only reason I'm not booking Adventure this summer is I'm so busy with work I can't see a way to squeeze a whole week out of my schedule until December when I'm scheduled to be on Liberty. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Not being completely familiar with the Jewish traditions I'm sorry if this question is dumb but I thought you weren't supposed to drive during Passover or on the Sabbath.

I am up to 23 booked now, but still not where I was before the shut down...though I am enjoying some degree of hope again. 😊 Have a lot of "land lubber" trips booked until my possible next cruise on Harmony in December. Now that it has been six weeks since we have received our second vaccine shots, we are daring to climb out of our hermit hole a bit now. We still wear masks in public, to make others feel more comfortable. Kind of become habit now anyway. 😉 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare A&L_Ont Posted March 27, 2021 #11715 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Haven’t posted for a few days. Last Sunday we put out the front porch furniture. Didn’t take Lucy long to find it. In fact Friday she slept in it from 9am to 3:30pm. A couple days later. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BonTexasNY Posted March 27, 2021 #11716 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Dani, I love your fish and balls photos! They are two of my fave Passover foods. That and matzoh with sweet butter. What are those white discs around the fish? Horseradish?? Loved the pot (as in pan) in the car photo. Hope you are having, now, even as I type, a wonderful sedar!

Rare A&L_Ont Posted March 27, 2021 #11717 Share Posted March 27, 2021 Farmers have started to scratch the land. We in fact have 50 acres of spring grain and hay planted and rolled already. It is early for this part of the world. This photo reminds me that the gravel needs to be swept off the lawn. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare A&L_Ont Posted March 27, 2021 #11718 Share Posted March 27, 2021 I spent Thursday afternoon cleaning up the road side ditches of branches and garbage. One positive of the pandemic, very little garbage and empty beer cans to pick up. Just one bag of garbage for a few miles of ditches. Normally it is multiple bags and recyclables. I poked this guy with a stick along the way, and asked him if he was OK? No answer back. It was dusty on the land. IMG_8261.MOV 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Or is that just for the ultra-orthodox folk? No dumb, because even for "us" it is complicated.... To put it simply -- there are those who travel on Sabbath/Passover, and those who don't.... You don't have to be ultra-orthodox to keep Sabbath -- it's a matter of choice. Actually, not so much, since there is no public transportation from Friday afternoon [when Sabbath starts] until Saturday afternoon [when Sabbath ends]. Exceptions -- mixed cities (where there is also a vast non-Jewish population). So even if someone would like to travel to see family/friends/tour and he doesn't own a car -- he "keeps Sabbath...". Roughly, 70% of the population travels on Sabbath. Edited March 27, 2021 by dani negreanu 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hag Sameah 🌺 Those are thin slices of potatoes and halves of boiled eggs. And, just for you, the chopped liver with horseradish. All the dishes, apart from the matzo "balls" were made by DH. Not much of a "seder" -- just DS and us... The married son is with his wife's very extended family. We'll be traveling tomorrow to see them with our pots and pans...
