Where is the love button? If you choose, let daughter know we're loving it here too!

Agreed, fun!!

I wish all mothers here the best for tomorrow, and every day. Treat yourselves to something special! My mom's been gone for quite a few years, I hope wherever she is she knows how often I think of her, or quote her in my mind. My father arranged this painting of her as a surprise on their one visit together to Europe. Somehow the artist caught more of her than any photo I could post.

Of course, as a child, I would never do such a thing 😇

Us too! It was my first cruise on Royal, and we are looking at prospects to return as soon as we can. Hoping February works out for you.

The place we used was called "Forgotten Tails" that takes dogs from shelters where they face euthanasia. They may well be a private organization. They told us Alfie came from a shelter in a rural county west of Richmond. Alfie's picture posted below, I think she was winking at me (its only money!)

There was free ice cream in Windjammer on Odyssey late March this year

We adopted a new puppy a couple weeks ago; she had a slight limp at the shelter that was improving in our home. Then a few days ago she had a setback, walking on 3 paws, so we brought her to the vet for xrays. Vet told us yesterday she suffered trauma at some point in her past that had probably been temporarily fixed but would now require surgery. Was groaning about the costs, but then a friend sent this: “No more lonely cold nights or hearing that I'm bad No more growling belly from the meals I never had. No more scorching sunshine with a water bowl that's dry. No more complaining neighbors about the noise when I cry. No more hearing "shut up", "get down" or "get out of here"! No more feeling disliked, only peace is in the air. Euthanasia is a blessing, though some still can't see Why I was ever born If I weren't meant to be. My last day of living was the best I ever had. Someone held me very close; I could see she was very sad. I kissed the lady's face, and she hugged me as she cried. I wagged my tail to thank her, and then I closed my eyes and died……" Author unknown

Agreed. And apart from these wonderful retirement years, those were the best days of my life (with apologies to Bryan Adams) 🙂 🎶

Love it when you write like this

Same here Techno, w only a few drops of British blood mixed with the Dutch and Norwegian in my veins.

So cute! Would love to see a picture with the top knot.

Yes, Emory Class of '73, and thanks to you and Lois for your kind comments!

We spent a long weekend in Atlanta for my 50th college reunion. Wish I could take pictures like JP, Terry and many of you other coolers can. But here are two. Found this place as we were walking around Sunday morning. Really wanted to stay until they opened, but my better half reminded me there were activities elsewhere to be attended. One of the best meals I had there was Chicken Milanese. I don't think I ever had it before, but now I will seek it out. This version by the Atrium Restaurant at Ponce City Market. Then, a third pic I hadn't really intended to post, at the very bottom, is me in front of the dormitory I lived in for two years. Atlanta is a great city to visit - don't let these pictures deter you from visiting there someday

And on a Friday no less! Mixing up extra Margarita's in case any of you choose to stop by. The only meal we've ever had on Silversea that was send-back worthy was a vegetarian meal my wife ordered. No amount of sauvignon blanc could wash it down. But, following how this thread reflects the varied tastes of each of us, someone else might have loved it. I had the best turkey burger anywhere on a Silversea cruise. All seafood dishes we had were great.

If you like dry white with aromatics, seek out Santorini Assyritko (sp?) when you get home and you will savor memories of your visit. I have to agree but would add that any spot on Santorini will do to give you a great experience.

D'accord, bien sûr

like these?

Understood, it must have been scary. Best wishes & hoping for the best on the 15th.

I may need a building permit...

Sounds like poor sportsmanship to me, wish professional sports included some accounting for not running up the score. Would be a good model for our kids and grandkids. Speaking of grandkids, this is Karen introducing our Midwestern youngest grand daughter to the ocean for the first time last summer

This is a picture of my middle daughter Susan's middle daughter (she & her wonderful husband have 3 girls) with an unknown young gentleman. Susan is the only child of my 6 (1 stepchild) to move out of Virginia to the MidWest where this was taken. It's a year out of date and as @Ozark_Kid & I expect all of you know, kids change so fast at this age. Still, I'm keeping this pic around, and wondering if I should see what Shutterfly has to offer (thanks to all of you).

Its Warren, wife's name is Karen. Thank you all for the kind comments.

Wow, you all a wonderful group! Caring for one another with grace and love. Learning names. Great thread. Late to the party (as always it seems) and grateful for your positive comments, I've found I just can't keep up. I'm a bit jealous, but think my presence just dilutes the beauty that you all have. My best regards to all, I'll sign off, and leave a song that I just apply to myself but hope you enjoy as well. I can still observe 😌
