Sharon in AZ

In the meantime you might use an old sock and just cut off the toe part. It really worked for me when I broke my hand. The splint was hot and I was always sweaty and sticky, yuck. I never got a liner, just started using old socks.

Good afternoon! I haven't read all of today's posts. I've been working on starting a blog for my upcoming cruise. @TiogaCruiser gave me the idea to start one to share with DH about my solo traveling experiences. I tried to get on CC late yesterday afternoon to post to Debbie @dfish. I wanted to wish her well on her surgery but CC wouldn't cooperate. I kept getting an error message. Debbie, I'm wishing you a great recovery and hope all is well after your surgery. Well, I leave three weeks from today for my adventure. I did decide to cancel my tour in Corinto based on the reports from a few days ago. It's not an issue for me and allows me to add an excursion in a different port. Right now I'm wait listed for two excursions, hopefully they will add more departure times, if not that's okay. I've never felt the need to have to always be on an excursion or tour, especially in a port that I've been to already. Wishing everyone well. Have a great day!

Bon Voyage to all! Enjoy!

Bon Voyage! ⛴⛴⛴

Oh, I am so sorry for your loss. I always enjoyed hearing what she was up to when you posted. If she was 19 or 20 she lived a good life and probably a better one after you adopted her.

Roy, what a pleasure to see you posting your Sunrise picture of the day again!!

Bon Voyage! ⛴⛴⛴

Good morning and Happy Sunday. I’ll celebrate all the days, even poultry, although I don’t enjoy it as much as most of you do. I’ll pass on the drink and wine. DGD is here and made us dessert last night. A strawberry and blueberry sauce in shortcake shells. There was sauce everywhere but it was yummy. I have made a version of today’s meal. It’s actually easier than regular lasagna. I have a veggie recipe that is good. After the discussion yesterday about the port Corinto, Nicaragua, I have mixed feelings about the excursion I decided to take there. I’m going to rethink my plans. I wouldn’t mind just staying on the ship. Have a great day everyone!

Bon Voyage!!!

Checking in.

Good morning and Happy Friday and St Patrick’s Day! I just started my Corned Beef in the crockpot but we won’t be having cabbage. Craig doesn’t like it and it’s a waste to make just for me to eat just once. I buy my corned beef at TJ’s and it’s uncured, so Carolyn @Cruising-along it might be okay for you to eat. Jake @Crazy For Cats, I’m sorry about the change in your itinerary. St John was one of our favorite ports last cruise. I wonder what the reason was. Have a great day!

What a beautiful dog Sam is!! I know you have said before but what breed is Sam?

Bon Voyage! ⛴⛴⛴

Good morning and Happy Thursday. It’s cloudy here and our high should be around 66F today, mostly due to the rain we had yesterday. Just a quick note from me before my Dexa appointment this morning. I did get everything done yesterday for my DM so she won’t question me about it anymore. She likes things done immediately. While I’m more a Scarlet O’Hara. Have a great day everyone!

Yes, and I should have mentioned that I was paying with a credit card not gift cards. I put the deposit down on a Friday, tried several times on Saturday to pay and on Sunday it finally worked. So maybe waiting until the next day was the answer, not sure.

I have done the sort of same thing but with Vienna sausage. My DM would take a piece of Rainbow white bread, slather it with butter and layer sliced Vienna sausages, fold it in half and that was my lunch. Fat on fat on fluffy bread but so good. No wonder I love butter so much! Yours sounds yummy too.

When I recently tried to pay for the second segment, a B2B, of my cruise it kept going to the first segment which was already paid for. I kept trying because it was the weekend and I really didn’t want to wait until that Monday to call since I knew I’d just have to leave a message for my PCC. I was finally able to make the payment so thank goodness I didn’t have to call.

Bon Voyage!

Lenda, thank you for the comment about my DM. She is so deaf that there would be no way she could continue functioning through all of her appointments and understand everything. Thanks for the advice about the CPAP. He actually has a physical next week, so we will see what the doctor says. However, this has been going on for 20 years and I've learned you can't teach an old dog new tricks. I'll try to gently suggest......

Sandi, I thought that the Volendam was going to be at Half Moon Cay on Friday. Maybe I'm wrong.....

Good morning and Happy Wednesday from a cloudy Tucson. It’s supposed to rain today. I’m taking it easy today after being so busy lately. The past few days have been filled with appointments and errands with DM. It’s really tough when I have so many consecutive days with her, especially with so much driving around. But the good part is that her taxes and physical and lung CT and banking and dermatology are all done for the year. We also went to the DMV and got a handicapped placard. Next week is the Lung CT follow up with the radiation oncologist and her hair appointment. Then I think I’m done until I get back from my cruise. I do have a few things to do for her— crazy, she got a federal jury notice that I have to deal with and schedule her dental and ENT appointments. Sorry for the rant but it helps telling my friends. Debbie @dfish, thank you for the recipes. I’m not a big fan of curry but these look really good. I’m going to check out the first recipe with the brown sugar. Sandi @StLouisCruisers, congratulations to Ren! I noticed the deeper blue bubble last night when I was catching up with the Daily. Not sure if I like it but I’ll get used to it. Gerry @ger_77, Craig had the same issues using a CPAP. He ended up just not using it at all and now it sits in a closet. 🤷🏼‍♀️ I know I missed some birthday’s and celebrations lately so Happy to everyone I missed. Have a great day!

Thank you Jacqui! I’m getting excited!

Annie, I’m doing the tea in Victoria with Jane @lazey1. I probably wouldn’t do it but I’m using my HIA excursion credits. I’m actually going to Victoria twice and the second time I’m going to Butchart Gardens, hopefully Jane will join me on that one too. The smoking area on HAL ships is the Seaview Bar area and I think you will enjoy it. My DM loved going there for her smokes because it was such a nice area and you really can see the view of the sea.

Good morning and Happy Sunday from a non day light savings Tucson. I double checked all the clocks including my iPhone, iPad and Fitbit to make sure they didn’t change because sometimes they do if I don’t have the right setting set. Today is a lovely day and I actually heard the quail chirping in happiness when I took Blue outside this morning. I have some basil that I need to plant so will celebrate plant a flower day by doing that. Because they do flower if you let them grow. I was in Girl Scouts for a few years. I wish I knew more about my ancestors. I have made the American goulash version of today’s meal suggestion but it’s been a while. Happy Birthday to Lenda @Quartzsite Cruiser and Mitzi @Overhead Fred!! Enjoy! 🎈🎈🎈 Sandi @StLouisCruisers, such good news about the financial help for your DB’s meds! I can totally relate because a foundation is paying for my very expensive psoriasis meds. You really have to jump through hoops to qualify but well worth it in the end. Have a great day everyone!

Bon Voyage!!
