Navybikermom Posted February 17, 2022 #52 Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) Good morning all! Very stormy day today. We’re supposed to get severe weather later as the front comes barreling through. Hopefully we don’t lose power, but we have a generator just in case. Nice collection of days, food, and drinks. I always think of that old song “Harper Valley PTA” when someone mentions that subject 😁. Those port pics look very nice. I’d like to do there someday. Speaking of the Shingrix vaccine - my second one kicked my tookus! Glad there weren’t any more. When I open a wine that turns out to be not very good, I save it for cooking. Pot roast if it’s a red, ham if it’s a white. Love the memes - highlight of my day! Yesterday I noticed some other green things starting to poke up so hopefully they are pretty flowers. This is our first spring in our TN house, so not sure what is where yet for flowering things. Edited February 17, 2022 by Navybikermom 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bdrcole Posted February 17, 2022 #53 Share Posted February 17, 2022 It seems that many folks are in the middle of completing their tax returns. How many of you are in this situation? 7 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Vict0riann Posted February 17, 2022 #54 Share Posted February 17, 2022 (edited) Good morning, all. Thanks to Rich, Roy, Jacqui and the F & D ladies! Looking good! They were unpacking flank steaks at Costco yesterday, and I almost bought one, but in the end, didn't. Now I regret it... but DD usually makes us chicken fajitas, as she doesn't eat red meats. We are leaving soon for me to be assessed for a physio program my doctor recommended - it's called GLA:D, designed in Denmark. I guess I will find out more about it. And we've heard from our PCC and have to start thinking about flights to Europe in July. and home again from Boston. We've been to Flam, it's a pretty little town, and we took the train, so my pictures are just like everyone else's! We took the train as a ship's tour though, and stopped about 2/3s of the way up for a fancy tea in a hotel. If we go again, we will go all the way up. But we will not be walking down! Eek.... Flam and the train station from the ship One of many waterfalls The hotel where we stopped for tea.

I try to be kind to everyone I meet but sometimes it’s really hard. I like Steak Fajitas but Chicken is better. Hope everyone is doing well. Thanks for The Daily. what no golf today??? just kidding. but the Genesis is starting from California. Agree Steak Fajitas are slightly better than chicken because of the juices. yum 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Enjoy your time back on board. I have been anxiously waiting to see if Australia is going to open. Cruise ban extended again. All Australia and New Zealand ports removed. Showed other ships but not ours. So I will continue to wait and hope it was a glitch. Playing golf this afternoon. Always a good time. Aw yes NZ and Australia. I was supposed to be in that region in 2020 and during election time. so my cruise obviously was canceled and so I was unhappy at home having to listen to all the voting news. Wanted to avoid it but - oh well. enjoy your golf and then watch the Genesis from Cal. 12 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I am glad I got to go to Key West on the N Amsterdam a few years back. Also glad I got to sail into Anchorage on the Amsterdam (the one that was sold). ships no long do this. I guess the dredging worked for just one year. 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I played a lot of tennis back in the day and along with golf took a toll on my body. Good field for the Genesis in Los Angeles, Spieth off to a good start but still no Phil. 15 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I also think he is in the middle of building a house in FL and leaving CA. I just want to see Bubba W, Matt K, and Zack Johnson win 1 more time on the PGA. Oh, also Ian Poulter. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It's not shown for 2023 yet. I think the dredging in Anchorage is on going since there are a lot of cargo ships that use that port.
