Good morning friends! It’s 68F here with a high of 92 and sunshine expected today. Wishing my DH a very happy birthday today and happy left handers day!

Thank you Rich @richwmn for the Fleet Report and Daily as well as the ship location maps. I would love to celebrate Left Handers Day, National Filet Mignon Day, and National Prosecco Day. I like the quote, and find it amusing that zucchini is the latest fad on the menu scene here. I’m not sure I’d like the Dragon Berry Mojito or Riesling. It’s amazing a woman joined the U.S. Marines back in 1918. Thanks to Debbie @dfish, Dixie @summer slope and Ann @cat shepard for your reports today.

Prayers for my DB, twin sister, DD, the people in Israel and Ukraine, the hostages still held and our military members on bases and ships in a war zone. Many prayers for our Daily Care list people especially Tana and Terry, Chuck and Annie, Ann and Pat, Joy’s DS Bonnie, Nancy’s DB, Melisa’s DH, Jacqui, Elizabeth, Debbie, Roy, Terri and Jim. May you enjoy better health very soon! Cheers to everyone cruising, preparing to cruise, and celebrating their own special occasions. Thank you Vanessa @JazzyV for your work updated the lists for us each day! Great work!

Today’s port is Seattle, Washington which was port of the day back on May 22, 2021. Yes I’ve been there but don’t think I posted photos. Someone else can show the Public Market Underground tour, lovely marinas and famous landmarks. Thanks in advance for your photos, and here’s the link for your convenience.

I hope all of you have a very good day, and stay safe and well!

Greetings from beautiful Port Charlotte.

78 this AM with a high of 94 with a chance of PM showers, what else is new.

Good selection of days, I’m basically right handed but eat with my left hand, shoot pool with my left arm and was able to bat both ways in baseball, write with my right hand and most importantly a righty on the golf course, I can catch a ball with either hand but can’t throw with my left hand, I’m a mess.

Interesting quote.

The meal sounds good.

We have been to Seattle a few times, my first time was in 1967 when with the Air Force and took off from McChord Air Force Base with a nice flight to Vietnam.

Have a great day and stay well.

Good morning from a sunny 66°F North East England.

Thank you for today's FR&D.

2 excellent days as I like

Prosecco and Fillet Mignon.

We were encouraged to write right handed as children.

Thought provoking Quote.

Never been to today's port.

Prayers 🙏 uplifted for all that believe they will help them.

I hope everyone is safe and looking forward to a nice day.

Good morning to all the Dailyites.

Thank you to Rich @richwmn for the FR&D, to Debbie, Ann and Dixie for keeping us fed and hydrated. And to Vanessa @JazzyV for keeping up with us each day.

@StLouisCruisers Happy Birthday to your DH

@summer slope Dixie, Prayers that your Cataract Surgery is successful and real easy. I had no problem with mine.

@lindaler Prayers for your DS

@Seasick Sailor Prayers for your DN’s Dad

@Copper10-8 Happy Anniversary

@smitty34877 Terry, you and your family are always in my prayers. I admire your resilience.

Not much going on here. Today I will tackle the finances. Laptop seems to be working fine. Still have not heard from Hargray and probably will not. They are probably still working on the flooded areas.

Hope everyone has a good day.

God Bless,

Terri

Good morning. Thanks for the daily and maps Rich. My DS is left handed, no chance for filet for dinner today as we are heading to town, no one stocks it. Pass on the Prosecco. The quote is true for some lucky people who meet their perfect person. I just wrote a sympathy card note to a friend who lost her husband, they were such a couple. I have been to Seattle for business and instead of seeing the city we drove out of town to see a fabulous waterfall and dined at the restaurant above.

Thanks for researching all of our comestibles ladies. I'll pass on the zucchini and the minty cocktail but would enjoy the Reisling from Oregon on a hot day.

Thanks for the cares and celebrations reports Vanessa. Happy birthday to your DH Dennis @StLouisCruisers. Prayers for you as you go through your cataract surgery today @summer slope. Prayers for Tana and Terry and for Annie and Chuck. Prayers for Ann, Bonnie and everyone else suffering that we are unaware. Prayers for those in war zones through no fault of their own, Ukraine, the remaining hostages and the Innocents in Gaza. Prayers for the hostages who were injured and the family of the one that was killed yesterday.

We are heading to town today, out of some staples like bread and salad supplies. My tomatoes are ripening so we are eating a lot of BLTs. Have a lovely day! Nancy

Happy Anniversary @Copper10-8! 🍾
