Rare h20skibum Posted August 15, 2023 #100776 Share Posted August 15, 2023 I am trying to catch up a little, because this is starting out as a really busy week for us. We have all three grandkids for the week. @ReneeFLL Renee and @FromSea2ShiningSea Helen, enjoying your photos, and have a great cruise. Looking forward to seeing more photos. @dani negreanu Dani, it was good to hear the DS2 found a rental and that they are getting settled. @TravelGirlinDallas Bethany, was sorry to read about Andrew’s broken finger. Hope he will still be able to play. @harryfat1 Harry, love your pictures, as always. I am watching for your review on the main boards. It looks like a birthday was being celebrated on your cruise. @lenquixote66 Lenny, happy birthday to your granddaughter @Momof3gurlz Deb, glad to hear you had a great time on the cruise with your grandsons. I am jealous I haven’t been able to do that with ours, but I am still working on my daughter. Hopefully, next summer instead of Myrtle Beach. @DaniDanielle Marietta, happy birthday to your granddaughter this Friday @Luckynana Maryann, happy birthday to you today. 5 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The rain we had for 24 hours finally stopped at 06.00am. At least the rain was good for the garden. So beautiful! The landscape doesn't look like that here right now, for sure, with weeks and weeks of 100+. We could use the rain. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare h20skibum Posted August 15, 2023 #100780 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) This will be a crazy week for us, but it is the last week of our Summer of Fun 3. Yesterday, my daughter had an appointment with her oncologist, and it was the first day of her return to work full time. So we had her kids, plus our California grandson. We had to get them out of the house, since my son had zoom meetings all day. He is here till the end of the week, when he will take our grandson back to California. So we took all the grandkids on a hike (which they claim was 4 miles). I can get close enough to touch this turtle! When you find a down tree blocking the trail, it is a good place for a break. Then, for some health food after. Today, I hope to enlist all of them to do some prep for tomorrow’s party. Tomorrow, we are having an unbirthday celebration for our California grandson. His birthday is not until the 25th, but he will be gone by then. This year’s theme will be, of course, Harry Potter.

I really like them but they are not for everyone. My wife LOVES red bean paste sesame balls. Every time we go to New York we find Chinese cafe/bakeries so she can grab some. In fact, that's a pretty normal breakfast run for us there...she gets those and I'll get a couple egg tarts. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Arzeena Posted August 15, 2023 #100783 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Booked the Symphony for Feb. Still looking for Jan and March. Narrowed it to Explorer or Celebrity Reflection. I haven't been on the Explorer since the repositioning from NJ to Florida and the rogue wave. Don't know if it was refurbished/amped? Beyond in April. Equinox ABC Oct birthday cruise. Silhouette in Nov. 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Sea Dog Posted August 15, 2023 #100785 Share Posted August 15, 2023 Forgot to take pictures of our really fun Tiki Patio Party last Saturday night with 3 other neighborhood close couples. I did take a video of the outdoor lighting I did to enhance the mood. You can’t hear it well but I did have a tiki music playlist playing exotica from Martin Denny and Les Baxter. Also not seen was a tv that was playing a 3 hour video loop of famous tiki bars, and Polynesian pop images. Here is the video. You can skip around as the first two images are very long. I also made up a batch of a tiki cocktail called the Monkey’s Eyebrow in my new Sea Dog Tiki Bar engraved bottle. It has a mermaid on the front with lettering on the back that says Sea Dog Tiki Bar. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jimbo Posted August 15, 2023 #100790 Share Posted August 15, 2023 (edited) Ok, I cut up that large tomato. Alot of green throughout. It taste good but not much you can do with it. The green pics were taken on July 27th. It was kind of like 2 tomatoes growing together I think. Edited August 15, 2023 by Jimbo 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

BonTexasNY Posted August 15, 2023 #100792 Share Posted August 15, 2023 @Luckynana Maryann, happy birthday!! Today is your day. I hope you celebrate in style. Expanding on Van Gogh: My daughter grew up with a copy of Girl With Watering Can hanging in her bedroom. Both are blond cuties! 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Equinox ABC Oct birthday cruise. Silhouette in Nov. Explorer in March is one of the possibilities for our free Prime cruise in March. We haven’t sailed her since 2014 so I’m sure she’s been refurbished since then. Waiting until we get home to research further, but if you end up on Explorer perhaps we’ll see you! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He's pretty bummed about starting the school year this way. I'm pretty sad for him, too. Hopefully, it won't be as bad as it seems. And 4 weeks in the cast is shorter than I expected (it was 6 weeks last time he broke this same finger). 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
