Rare rafinmd Posted April 22, 2023 #26 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Wow on the pneumonia and oxygen concentrator. Happy birthday Sue and Bon Voyage Vanessa. Thank you Rich, Sandi, Eva, Debbie, Ann, and Dixie. I think it's appropriate that we have Girl Scout Leaders Appreciation Day on Earth Day. It's also National Drug Take Back day and I have a few to get rid of. While I like Jelly Beans I'll pass on the day. Like so many here I visited Falmouth on the Prinsendam, 2015 for me. Barbara Walters was a very good person to lead the way. Zsa Zsa was always controversial. I'll probably pass on the meal. My alternative is Insalata Canaletto, Spaghetti with Meatballs, and Pistachio Gelato as served on MS Amsterdam April 22, 2014. Today looks like it will be quite stormy.

We were at this port while on the Prinsendam and took the shuttle into the pretty town. DH and I found a place to have “Cream Tea” .

I have about three hours of oxygen in the backup tank.Adrenaline was going here! I wish you all a very good day. Gosh Terry! Praying that someone at the company helped you out.

RMLincoln Posted April 22, 2023 #32 Share Posted April 22, 2023 (edited) Good morning all, we made it back home yesterday from the funeral trip for my cousins DH in NY. It was an intense trip, hectic and emotional. We did get about an hour with granddaughters and their guys (one is married, and it feels like the other will be announcing a wedding soon. ). The traffic was light both ways, and DH was able to do more driving than we had expected. Yay! I’m so glad we could do it! Maryland is so much closer than New Mexico! I’ve missed a lot here but congrats to @bennybear and DH on their milestone anniversary! Sandi @StLouisCruisers wonderful pix of Falmouth! Several years ago on a multi-legged European trip we left a cruise in Venice and flew to London, then we drove to Falmouth and stayed for 10 days visiting my DHs grandfather’s birthplace. Found his great-grandparents graves in the church cemetery in St Mylar across the bay! A church dating back to 411CE when monks came across from Brittany France. We used one of those little foot-ferries as in your photo to go across the bay then walked to the church on a pubic-access trail through a manor estate. It was about 3 miles, not sure I could do it today with my hip issues. And to get on the ferry there were the steep concrete steps your picture shows - IIRC, they have a 9 metre tide shift there! It was an impressive and deeply meaningful trip! I feel our world shrinking but we’ve had a lot of good times and amazing travels, more than I ever could have imagined. While in the area this week we visited a retirement community we are considering as a viable option for our next chapter in life. It’s closer to the granddaughters, and at least one granddaughter seems to be stabilizing in that area. There’s pros and cons to consider but I’m blessed to have options! Today is laundry day and maybe groceries. Tomorrow is symphony, we can enjoy the things we came here to do for a little while yet! We gave away two sets of symphony tickets last month while we had COVID! 🤞we didn’t pick up anything at the family gatherings and can make it tomorrow and Thursday! Blessings to all those in need of healing, comfort or hope! A path forward for @marshhawk, and oxygen for @smitty34877!! Good reports for the medical appointments! Successful surgeries and therapies, amazing what can be done! Cheers 🥂 to all celebrating! Life is good! Bon Voyage to our cruisers! 🙏 for Healthy travels! (For me that’s been a craps-shoot… I do what I can but sometimes we’ve picked up the crud… thankfully we’ve always recovered!) —Maureen Edited April 22, 2023 by RMLincoln 24 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lady Hudson Posted April 22, 2023 #33 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Good morning. Hope everyone is doing well. Thank you to all who post and our friends who take responsibility to add information daily. This thread had become part of my morning coffee and daily internet news routine. 😀 I will be busy today getting ready for tomorrow’s trip and making sure DH has all he will need. DD comes this afternoon (with her very hairy dog) and I promised to go to a local restaurant to get her favorite - lobster ravioli. I will need to get in my daily 3 mile walk. Now for a personal pat on the back. I have kept my New Year’s resolution of sticking to a low carb diet with very few “cheats”. Result is 22 lbs lost. Low carb is one diet that really seems to work for me. I will be packing clothes I haven’t worn in years. Best wishes to all for a great weekend.

superoma Posted April 22, 2023 #37 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Good morning all. Another grey day with rain in the forecast, chilly but not cold. We are promised sunshine for tomorrow and 10c. Most of the family is coming to dinner tomorrow for roasted pork hocks, mashed potatoes and sauerkraut. My dietitian daughters and most of the grands request this once a year and we try to do it in the winter as it is a cold weather food. But with, Covid, exams, and other things on the schedule this was the first available date. so, still working on the formatting of the list but I will get to where I am happy with it. You will all say you are happy it is posted and it is ok, but my quality control background makes me want better. Stay tuned! prayers for all that need them. Celebratory shoutout to those travelling or celebrating something. 27 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare ottahand7 Posted April 22, 2023 #41 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Good morning. Thanks for starting our morning with the beautiful photos of Falmouth Sandi. It looks like you had a great time. Thanks for the Daily and Fleet Reports each day. All three of the comestibles look like winners to me though the Ravioli would be a little too high carb for me. @superoma thanks for taking care of our Daily Care and Celebrations list. So happy to see our members embarking soon on cruises. Prayers for all on our care list and the people of Ukraine. We are heading to Costco in a few minutes. I ran out of the great potting mix that they sell and my DS told me it is now on sale. I need two bags for all my container plants at the cabin. We have a lot of cooler weather so it makes sense to get it done today. We may drive to Holland, Michigan tomorrow to look at the tulips. Their Tulip Festival is always the first weekend in May but my tulips are all open so I imagine there will be quite a nice show when we just drive through the city admiring them. Have a great Saturday! Nancy 21 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

marshhawk Posted April 22, 2023 #43 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Good Saturday Morning Dailyites! If it stormed last night, I slept right through it. However those of you on the east coast, beware of your weather! I like Jelly Belly Beans, but they don't like me at all. I was a girl scout for a a very short time. Like 2 months. And I remember the very first Earth day. We all decided to walk to school, and walk home. My BF in high school lived 12 miles away, or more, she got home very late that night, and I didn't see her again for a month. She had mono. Ravioli? I'm getting together with some friends, and I am going to order the crayfish ravioli with garlic cream. Being a diabetic, I know that pasta is not my friend, but tomorrow is my birthday,. and the friends were available today. Well I have to work this morning for a couple of hours, and then work this afternoon when I get back. And then tomorrow is off! Yeah! Have a wonderful day everyone! 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

aliaschief Posted April 22, 2023 #49 Share Posted April 22, 2023 Good morning. Turned clocks back again last night so we are now on West Coast time. We attended the Pinnacle Chefs Dinner last night. It was well attended the food was beautifully presented but we were not wowed. The shrimp were bland and mushy, the lobster flavorless and dry. The filet was only offered medium to well done and it also had a dry tasteless texture. Others maybe enjoyed but the Canelleto Chefs dinner won hands down. It’s Salsa Salsa Excursion today. We enjoyed yesterdays’s excursion which I will share separately as phone and pad have not synced yet. Here is s some food porn from last night’s dinner. 17 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
