I planted them here in NJ, and am happy to report that they are doing so well here.  I love them!

Thanks.  Glad yours are doing great.   Several years ago a neighbor gave us a few.  She said they were overtaking her garden.  Now there is not much extra space around the tree.  I like that there are more each year.

@Ocean Boy While on the cruise did you shoot any pics in 108mp mode and then try to post it?  When I took pics of the Iris I tried it.  I tried to post it here and it loaded as an all black pic.  It wasn’t because of the size because I reduced the size down to about the size of the other pics.

Harrahs casino.  I play the Flames of Olympus penny machine,  it is hooked up to a random bonus plus the normal bonuses.

Oh, Sue, how wonderful. Happy tears here too. Best X-mas gift ever, you'll get to be a grannie, and I'm sure you'll excel in this role.

 

And how cute Jed is, with his purple cake [and tongue 🤪].

Really happy for your family!

[DaniDanielle]

We were at Harrahs to pick up a free casino certificate so winning was really a bonus. The certificate is for a Norwegian cruise so I don’t know if we will use it or not.

We have had heavy rain all morning, so that delayed our daily walk.  So with the rain, we just finished watching the final episode of Ozark.   Yes, it is streaming now.

 

That was an unexpected ending!   I know some here watch it, so no spoiler.😁

I’m looking forward to seeing the last seven episodes.  I’ll get to binge it tomorrow.   This weekend is a free showtime preview with my cable company. Since I don’t pay for Showtime, I wait for the free weekends to binge the couple of decent series they have.  Definitely not worth paying for The whole year.

I think @harryfat1 Cheapo Dad started it. It is just a fun thing to do, doesn't have to have a reason. When Cruise Critic was much smaller, we once spent an entire weekend talking about rat guards on the mooring lines. Not everything has to have a purpose. 

Hi, Patti,

 

How is retirement treating you?  Appreciate the shout out.  Thanks for remembering me even though I haven't posted a cruise report for past few years.  Didn't realize there's a mooring line fan club.  I will be sure to take some pictures in my upcoming Alaska cruise to share for the 5 of us that appreciate them.

 

I also post urinal pictures in the past.  Have I inspired many lady cruisers from CC to upload their favorite personal pictures online?

 

To paraphrase Freud, sometimes a mooring line is just a mooring line.  Some of us just like the lines/patterns that extends out to infinity and beyond.  Or maybe some have an unnatural fondness for ropes?  Or maybe big tall things that sticks up in the air? Cheapo dad not willing to pay $$$ for therapy sessions to find out...

We binge watched the entire series over the winter, so we had already watched the first half of the final series and were awaiting the final half.  
 

It was good, but it got to the point where there wasn’t much they could add to keep the series going.  I guess you will just need to watch. 
 

I have been watching the series The Americans on Prime.  I don’t recall anyone mentioning it on here, but maybe because it is an older series.  I have about three and a half seasons to go on it.

Thanks for checking in. You were my inspiration in trying to get those shots. I think they can really make a photograph. I'll leave the urinals to you knowing my luck someone would walk in on me as I was taking the picture and call me a weirdo. Great mooring pictures. You are a winner in my book.

Hopefully Eric is feeling much better today.My antibiotic is topical .

Yes, he feels better.  Swelling of his tooth has finally started to go down so that's good.

   I hope your eye is better too!   Did they know what caused the problem?

It would help if I added the pictures 🤪.

 Here’s the old deck in all it’s rickety glory. 

This is the new deck and stairs.  The area under the stairs will be enclosed for garden storage.  The area under the new deck we plan to stain the concrete, then add some outdoor lounge type furniture. 

New deck from above

another ongoing project is taking down the ugly little balcony off our master bedroom and replacing the slider with a large double window.  The pool mechanicals & ac unit will be camouflaged with low fence & landscaping.
. I can’t tell you the hours he spent figuring, calculating & planning so that the bottom step would land on the walkway to the pool.  He’s a talented guy!  I have the vision for how things should look and he does all the work.  We did have a little help from SIL’s with getting huge new beams up for the deck.  

WOW, Andy did an Amazing job.   Very nice!!!   🤩

No I didn't try that. I was pretty happy with the way most of the pictures were coming out so I didn't play around too much with settings.  Maybe I'll wish I did when I view the pics on a large screen but they were looking good on my phone.

The Americans was great series.  I watched it when it originally aired on FX.  It’s been a few years since it ended, I might have to binge watch the series again to see what I think of it now considering the world we live in now.

So yesterday my daughter Christina and her husband Brandon were supposed to spend the day at his parents house celebrating his nephews first birthday. Well they were worried about us and did not know if we could handle 8 paws for 4 days while they went to a conference in Kansas. 
So they surprised us arriving last night. 
They wanted to make sure we would not be upset dog sitting so close to our loss of Carrie.  I said no it’s just what we need to keep our minds busy. And if it did bother us Brandon s parents would watch them. 
 

So here are Christina and Brandon at Jed’s first birthday. 

 

Then. Ms. Roxy. 

 

Then Astrid. 
 

 

Then Christina goes we would never surprise you with a kitten. But if you need help rescuing one I’ll help.  But we wanted to get you something to take your mind away from Carrie. So we got you a small gift. 
 

God truly works in mysterious ways. She just found out she is pregnant and due in December. 
 

Happy tears in Ohio 

Congratulations!   I love their presentation with little Christmas booties.    Best present ever🥰

What the heck...it's free.  You can go out of NY.😊   The last time we sailed was on the Breakaway several years ago.  Not my favorite ship.  Anyway, Jim and I went on it with two of my sisters and their husbands, and my youngest brother.  It was a free (casino) cruise for my brother and one of my sisters and her husband.

I'm looking forward to watching this last season on Ozark, but right now we're in the middle of "The Offer", and Yellowstone.  I think I must be the last of everyone on our Dani thread to have finally begun to watch it.  We don't have cable, so it's nice to now be able to watch it on Peacock.  We had watched 1883 a while ago.  We loved 1883, and are enjoying watching Yellowstone.  The Offer is pretty good, also, but I really like Yellowstone.  Intense at times!!!!!

It’s a beautiful Sunday afternoon here. What to do?  What to do?

 

I have an idea.  💡

Cheers!
