h20skibum started following Buying Wine or Pop at Port Canaveral
-
Is there any place within walking distance of Port Canaveral to buy wine or pop? We are staying the night before the cruise at Holiday Inn Express. Thanks for any info.

Some good, and some not so good. Good, as far as the latest scans for our daughter last week. Not so good, in that our friend, Greg, passed away unexpectedly from complications due to a cardiac event. He was a musician, and played with several bands in his career. Very talented on keyboard, brass and vocals. Susan and I helped out with the funeral dinner. His funeral was unlike any I had ever been to. Many of his band members came and played some of his favorites as a tribute. At the end of the service, a video appeared on the screens of Greg playing and singing an arrangement that was perfect for the end. There wasnโt a dry eye in the place, and I guess he got to play at his own funeral. RIP Greg. You will be missed.

They do not show on my iPhone or iPad either. On a windows PC, they just show as a link, but when you click on it, it brings up a broken link symbol. I have had instances of some photos not posting from certain programs. I found that doing a screenshot, then cropping and posting that works fine. As an added benefit, the file size to upload is smaller.

I know when I started my book on our family tree, there were several things I found that I wish I could have asked my parents, or that Susan could have asked hers. It seems that no one in the family was aware of certain things. One, was that my one grandfather had a marriage prior to my grandmother. If my mother, or her sister knew, it was never shared. Another was a prior marriage of Susanโs grandfather, and the son he had from that marriage. And it seems like some things are closely held secrets, for what ever reason. After discovering this, and asking one of Susanโs aunts, she was aware but never shared, even though she kept asking what I had found. My self imposed timeline to finish my book has passed, but it is nearly finalized. I have reached a point to where I am conflicted about what I should include about a few of the living relatives. Since the book will be primarily for my kids and grandkids, do I include things about prior marriages and/or children of those relatives? There are things that are not talked about, and my kids are probably not aware of them. Thank goodness that neither Susan or I have any deep dark secrets about us. At least thatโs what she claims.
