Wonderful celebration.

 

On the left upper corner -- are those strawberries or chunks of watermelon?

 

No worries, the filet mignon seems to me very small 😉 😉

Absolutely. I loved that show, still watch reruns, but I can't believe they allowed some of the stuff Archie said!

I don't care for olives on pizza either. I also don't like peppers or onions.

That is a strawberry-pretzel salad.  Very good.

So today was the day we threw an Un-birthday party for our California grandson.  The sun was shining as we put up the balloons and decorations around the canopy we put up in the yard. 

 

We rented a bounce house, and it showed up an hour early, so he got some play time before others showed up.  

 

 

Twenty minutes after his cousins arrived, this happened. 

 

 

 

We had three storms roll through in the afternoon, some with higher winds.  After each one, I would take beach towels in an dry out the bounce house (and I had to bounce a little to test it out each time😁).  By the end of the day, I had gone through 20 beach towels.  

 

But the kids were not bothered by a little rain, and they all had a blast.  

 

Two of the boys are close friends of the family.  Their dad was best man at my sons’s wedding.  
 

The menu for the party included filet mignon, and I can’t believe grandson ate two of these. 

 

Ranch potatoes and corn on the cob

 

 

And a few other sides. 
 

 

Since the theme was Minecraft, that was the cake choice. 
 

 

In spite of the on and off rain, fun was had by all.   This is the first day I have felt exhausted at the end of the day. 

 

God Bless You!

Forty-one years ago today, I was walking up the aisle with my new bride.  It was just one day before our first ever cruise.  Our honeymoon was on the SS Norway.  My how things have changed. 

The Norway was the largest cruise ship in the world when we sailed. 
 

 

The life boats were a little different. 

 

Everyone got a bridge tour.

 

 

The newlywed table.

Happy Anniversary. Great pictures. I too spent our honeymoon on a cruise ship. For us it was the Costa Allegra. Congratulations and wishing you a lifetime of happiness.

Congratulations on your anniversary.  Amazing how cruises have changed since then on so many levels. 
 

On a side note… if you got a crown and still have it, are you planning on wearing it tonight at dinner?  Lisa would knock it off my head if I tried. 😁

I finally found a use for some of those medals I won on Royal Caribbean and Celebrity. Everyone was a medalist. They all got a kick out of those. 
 

I am way behind but a light bulb just went on when I read this post.  I literally have 6 of these medals that I pulled off the old bed (there because I must not have known what to do with them 15 years ago) and was thinking "should I just let go and toss them, like I did with the 3 dozen luving cups last year?".  Nope, now I will hang on to them for another 10 years just in case I get blessed with some grand kids.

I wish we could have kept the crowns.  I would wear it for all occasions.

I think by the 80’s and 90’s they had added capacity to her.  We have fond memories of that cruise, even with sailing in a Cat 5 hurricane.

Trying to get things ready for retirement

Congrats @Sea Dog, you’re going to love it.  Don’t let anyone talk you into going back to work.  It took a few months to totally relax.  After retiring,  my wife would see the tension building Sunday afternoon and would ask, you know what your doing tomorrow?  I would shortly say, what.  She would answer, whatever you want, you’re retired!  I would quickly feel the tension melt out of the shoulders.  Happy for you.

Retirement is fantastic!  But it takes some getting used to after all those years of working.  We see new retirees move into our neighborhood.  The first year they are busy doing all sorts of projects around the yard and house.  Eventually, they realize they have time, a precious thing when you’re working.  The projects get spaced out and more time is spent on the things they enjoy, whether it’s golf, reading or walking.

Enjoy your retirement, you worked hard for it.

 Happy for you.

Thank you so much. Great advice. I don’t think I’ve ever had someone say to me that they regretted retirement. Life’s too short. I don’t want my life to be defined by just doing one thing for 40 years.
