Our next cruise. We booked the owner's suite.  And the price was right.  

 

Can't wait.

I sailed it on a "three hour tour" back in the 60's. 

 

Wasn't bad....even in steerage.

Today's sunrise is from my 2009 Blount voyage from Chicago to New Orleans.  In June 13 I disembarked Niagara Prince in New Orleans.  As I look again this actually has to be sunset on the 12th.

I have just a trace of a sunrise today, from my 2015 Prinsendam British Isles cruise.  June 14 was a sea day from Killybegs, Ireland to LeHavre:

Keith, thought you might find this of interest (from today's WaPo:)

 

George Washington University to stop using ‘Colonials’ name by 2023-24

 

In a statement, university officials said the use of the name has divided the community and can “no longer serve its purpose as a name that unifies.”

KenzSailing interesting.  My school used the Eagles as their mascot but we sued to play those Colonials.

Huh.  I had inferred from some of your comments that you went to that downtown school.  Turns out I should have looked further up New Mexico Av.

Yes.   Near Ward  Circle.

 

used to walk from school up Nebraska to I think Van Ness. Right on Van Ness to Wisconsin to Roy Rogers.  
 

I think to the left on Wisconsin we walked to Arne Waffle Shop.

 

One summer I worked at Wesley Drug store.  I suspect it is gone.   But Foxhall should be there.

 

Keith.

Two days from now will be a major milestone for someone.

 

Care to guess?

 

I can help you if you need some help with this.

Well, if it's not someone who can probably whip up a pretty good red sauce, I am without a clue.  (I am usually without a clue.)

 

Wait, I know, it's Edie!

It took a few visits to this city before we had the opportunity to enjoy this view which is why we always love to travel and to revisit cities and other places we have been as there is always something new to see and experience.

A fellow Crystal Society wino friend gave me a tip a few years ago to bargain hunt for wine at Grocery Outlet. Sometimes you can find a good bargain, but often hit and miss.

 

Imagine my surprise yesterday when when I saw Crystal’s C Reserve 2018 Cabernet on the shelf for $6.99 a bottle! I bought a case. Then tipped off my Crystal Society friend who bought the rest of that location’s stock...2 1/2 cases!

 

Told my wino cousin in Southern California. She and hubby went to their Grocery Outlet and snagged two cases! 

 

Happy shopping, fellow Crystal Society winos! 😉🍷

 

Liquidation knows no boundaries!
