No.  Didn't know about it.  Thanks for letting me know.  If I'm ever in Batavia, it's now on my list of places to visit.  Thurman was (and really still is) my favorite Bill.  I have a few Thomas 34 jerseys and my fantasy football name was always the Thurmanators.

We had a Drive-in Movie on Staten Island years ago.  I was pregnant with our twins the last time we were there.  The Staten Island Mall is right around where the Drive-in used to be.

I spent a lot of time in SI between 1959 and 1989 but never went to a movie.

There was a magician on a cruise ship that was very interesting I bought his book and played poker with him a few times, he was on a cruise with Bruce and his wife , Bruce gave him a couple of grand to buy drinks for his wife and buy her chips , since he wanted to drink with the crew in crew bar . I think I already said this but we did a princess cruise out of Brooklyn and on first night I was sitting across from my wife and mother in law and told them you will not believe it but Doug Flutie was at the table behind them , they both called me a liar but eventually took a peek and it was Doug with wife and family. He sat there the whole 9 days , we didn’t want to disturb him on vacation but last night he got up and talked to a couple of people and we talked and I got a picture of him with my wife , she in her heels they were about the same hight , he was extremely pleasant. My wife mother and father is buried in same cemetery as Jim Kelly’s son Hunter in Attica where she grew up.

We were out to an outdoor concert tonight.  Huge crowd there.  Maybe the nice weather had something to do with it.  
 

We went for a walk during the concert and found a couple turkeys.

7/11/2024- Tromso, is Norway’s gateway to the Arctic.

 

We started out on our shore excursion to the Tromso Museum.

You can take bus #800 from Central Station direct and it will take 27 minutes to get there.  It runs about every 20 minutes and 22.5 km or 14 miles to there.  Use your individual credit cards to tap in and out on the bus. That is how you pay.  They don’t take cash.

 

We were saying while we were there that we were glad to be doing this on our own instead of a tour.  We would’ve had to stick to the tour’s time schedule and be rushed at everything and probably wouldn’t have been able to see everything.  

 

We visited pretty thoroughly and spent all day, like 6 hours.  You can probably do it in 4.  You can buy tickets there.  Tickets give you access to all the museums, inside the windmills, the Verkade Experience, digital audio tour, use of toilet facilities.  Otherwise, access to other locations and area are free of charge.

 

You will love it!  What are the ports you’re going to?  Are you and Renee on the same cruise?

 

 

@dani negreanu   🥲 🙏 ❤️

Thanks for the info.

The retaliation is, for the time being, on the smaller scale.... Anyhow, it is a "lose-lose" situation, since the "front" is civilian settlements on both sides of the border.

 

We're doing "wait and see"....

So sorry this is happening. You are in our thoughts.

Yes we are.  I think she’s on the TA across to Boston too.  We need to meet and say hi!
 

 Just left our little dog in Arkansas with our daughter till September.  It’s like leaving a child and we miss her already.  
 

Dani, praying for you and your safety.

We are on the TA. Are you not doing that one also? We will have to set up a time and place to meet.

@George C  When I had my two kittens and was trying to come up with a fitting name, I started referring to the girl as a little devil....thus the name Tazmania (intentionally spelt with a Z).

When the boy was adopted a year later, I started referring to him as a little pistol.....thus the name Remington.  You'll figure out something that you are both happy with.
