Ok, here is what I don't get. Yesterday I go to Home Depot to look at various options for redoing our decks. Today when I open YouTube I get an advertisement from Trex for there manufactured boards.🤔🤔🤔🤔

You took your phone with you.  It knows where you have been and what you have done!😉

@Lionesss  Interesting wedding venue. Was the reception held in a garden center? 
Is the cookie table a local custom?

Not familiar with available  homemade cookies and treats at receptions here on Long Island. Very generous of you to do all that baking for your friend’s daughter.

Yes to garden center. Flowers flowers everywhere and pergola settlings. Just think free flowers to use. 
 

If you google “cookie table “ you will see Pittsburgh gets the credit. But. 
Years ago it started here where all the women would bake for each others wedding and a beautiful display would be created and shared. 
My daughter s wedding had over 3,000 cookies. Every on I baked for returned the offering.

Those cookies all look so delicious.  

 

I don’t know if that is a local custom or not, but I don’t recall ever being at a wedding without them.  

Yes. Almost all weddings here have them. Some people buy them. Prices per dozen can range depending on bakery and type of cookie and size of order $9-$12 a dozen.  
And sometimes cookies from Sam’s club/Walmart are added for $5-8 dollars a dozen.

I talk to my cat too. 
 

But. A side note. 
Just something I said above and not what you addressed. 
 

I would never taker her to a wedding reception. 
Plus. 
Sit at a table with other guest and ignore them, turn my back away and be on my phone. 
 

(((MEOW))))

Sitting in the airport waiting for our flight home.

The Jewel is a nice ship but there is not enough seating in the centrum to get a seat for all the activities they had.  The entertainment was good on this cruise.  The bands were okay.  

Food:  we had MTD and I made reservations for 7:15 each night except the nights we ate in the specialty restaurants.  It didn't seem to matter though.  The first 2 nights they didn't even ask just seated 3 two tops at a time.  One night we had to wait 30 minutes.  The service was extremely slow between courses.  Sigh.  We ate in the dining room maybe 4 nights. Izumi 2 nights. Chops 1 night and the Windjammer the rest of the time.  Izumi and Chops were great.

We had a good time but I don't think we will take this long a cruise again at least in cold weather.  Too many sea days and it wasn't warm enough to sit on the balcony or the outdoor pool.  Even the solarium was a little too chilly a couple of the days.

@Lionesss Wait… I have to ask. Did that person bring her cat to the wedding reception? Or was she paying attention to a cat at the garden center?

Just curious. But you know what curiosity did to the cat.🙄
