Toots!

My favorite BHB that I've been on.

There she is.

Zaandam on the move.

Checking in.

Good morning. Thanks for the Daily. I feel for those with fatigue syndrome, a salute to nurses, and some limericks are fun. Strange and sad Marilyn quote. The meal seems ok. Pass on the drink and wine. I haven't been to Morocco. Thanks for the pictures @StLouisCruisers Our 5th sunny day in a row, and going up to 80°F! I got my perennial hibiscus planted yesterday (bare root); I had a tropical braided hibiscus for several years, but got tired of moving it inside in the winter. I just called the dentist to get on the cancellation list as this tooth issue is worrying me; one came up while we were talking, so I'm in for 7AM tomorrow. @grapau27 That's a nice filling breakfast! @kazu Be gentle with yourself. @smitty34877 Thinking of your DD today, and glad all went well with her surgery. Prayers for Tana. @dfish I hope the surgeon visit goes well. @rafinmd I hope the ear issue clears up. Planning for what happens to us is something we all need to do. I bought a cemetery plot for myself when my Mother died, but need to do the particulars. @St Pete Cruiser Thanks for the Croatia pictures. @marshhawk Sorry to hear that DH is still having the mouth pain. @StLouisCruisers I hope all goes well with DH's oral surgery appointment. @Heartgrove Good to hear your home test was negative. @Horizon chaser 1957 I'm glad you're out of Covid jail, but take it easy as you'll probably be fatigued. @AncientWanderer Great pictures! Nice to have such good weather. @Cruising-along I hope your friend is doing ok. Prayers for the Care List and Ukraine. Cheers for the Celebration List. Stay safe everyone.

Weather looks decent today.

Good afternoon. Thanks for the Daily. What I want to eat is ice cream, but none in the house! A salute to receptionists and particularly school nurses (who are in short supply). It would be nice if the quote were the case. I'll pass on the meal and drink. I've never had this type of wine, but it sounds good. I've been to England, but not Falmouth. THanks for the pictures. Another unusually nice day here. I'm supposed to be getting a plant in the mail, so I should get it in the ground today or tomorrow. I don't know what up with my teeth these days. I noticed that on a lower center incisor there's what looks like a delamination of enamel at the top. I felt it with my tongue a couple of days after the crown replacement. I don't recall any instruments against my teeth. So I have an appointment in 2 weeks. I don't know if there's some type of bonding that can be put on it; I hesitate to bite into things for fear of worsening the situation. @St Pete Cruiser Thanks for the photos from Venice! I've never been there, but I hope to get there one day. @kazu Just do what you can, at your own pace. @Overhead Fred Enjoy your time at the lake home. @marshhawk Welcome home! @smitty34877 Prayers for DD and Tana. @dfish When I mow the lawn, I hit "other" for the activity on my Apple Watch. @StLouisCruisers My condolences on the loss of your friend. Thanks for the photos of Falmouth. @kplady HAPPY BIRTHDAY! 🎂 @HAL Sailer How nice that you and DH get to spend time with family! Good that you took your time getting there; that's a long drive. @Cruzin Terri It sounds like you're finally having a nice time in Italy. @Heartgrove I hope DSIL has a mild case, and that you and Sue stay well. @Cruising-along I hope your friend does well. It's scary, especially as people who are vaccinated and being careful seem to be getting Covid. @Crazy For Cats Thanks for sharing the garden pictures. @grapau27 Your dinner looks yummy. @Vict0riann Lovely flowers. @mamaofami So much bureaucracy to fight! It's so tiring. @aliaschief Enjoy the trip to the lighthouse. I hope your DS is out of quarantine soon. Prayers for the Care List, Ukraine and its people and helpers. A toast to the Celebration List. Stay safe everyone, and on your guard.

She looks nice.

Zaandam coming into view on the camera.

Good morning. Thanks for the Daily and to all contributors. Good days. I'm always trying to clean up some room or other around here to decrease clutter. We should be trying to support small businesses. I try to trust my intuition. Interesting Hemingway quote. I'll pass on the meal (all carbs, no protein much) and drink. I'd like the wine. I haven't been to Dubai. Thanks for the photos. Another sunny and warm day here today. I might try to do some yard work, although my hand's been hurting. @kazu Thank you for sharing the photo of Jose and you. Be gentle with yourself during this time. @cat shepard Thinking of you during this difficult time. @grapau27 I hope your x-rays can help your doctor decide on a course of action. @Crazy For Cats Wow, quite the cruising souvenir display! @GTVCRUISER Love the tiles. @StLouisCruisers Wonderful pictures as usual. @smitty34877 Best wishes for a successful knee surgery for DD. And continued prayers for Tana. @ger_77 Yay on finding a nice cafe set. Yikes on gas prices; we're paying around $4.49/gallon here. I try to group errands together. @durangoscots Hoping that dog gets proper training and a good home eventually. At least he's away from that awful former owner. @kochleffel Ew, ouzo. I had the flu many years ago when in Greece. My "tonic" to get better was ouzo and orange juice! I'm not a fan of the anise flavor. Prayers for the Care List, and Ukraine. Cheers for the Celebration List. Stay safe everyone, during the increasing incidence of Covid everywhere.

In the last picture I posted, Eurodam is docked and Koningsdam is coming in (facing the camera).

There is Koningsdam.

Eurodam coming into view.

Good afternoon. Thanks for the Daily. Funny and serious days. I've not had that issue with socks that I hear about. My current mattress has a sewn on tag. Women tend to think of others first, but should think of themselves and get check-ups. A sweet quote. The meal sounds good. I'll pass on the drink, but take the wine. I haven't been to Abu Dhabi. It's sunny and warming up here. I decided yesterday afternoon to mow the lawn, since it wasn't too hot. My was the grass tall! It was a tough job. I guess all the rain and the fertilization was the culprit. @kazu Good to "see" you back. Thank you for sharing with us; and for translating your comments at Jose's service as well as sharing the notes with the flowers. Prayers for comfort in the time to come. @cat shepard Welcome home. I'm glad you had some help with all you had to do. @ottahand7 Nice photo! @kochleffel Quite the busy weekend. I'm glad the concert went well. Thanks for the recipe. @ger_77 How frustrating with the patio set. I don't mind assembling things, but hate when holes and screws don't match up! I have a teak bench I'm eyeing for my porch and hope that doesn't happen. @grapau27 Thanks for the videos. Prayers for the Care List and Ukraine. Cheers for the Celebration List. Stay safe everyone.

@rafinmd I agree, you do look like your Mother. @Quartzsite Cruiser Thanks for the photos of your Mother and grandparents. I had to laugh at the state of your maternal GM's office! I agree with you about the length of time between boosters; it was 7 months for me and I had a day of chills and headache. Thanks for all the Lisbon pictures; you've been there a lot I see. @Cruise Suzy Awww, what a nice picture. @cruzn single Thanks for sharing the picture of your Mom and sisters. @dfish Nice to see so many generations. I never knew any grandparents; my Mother's Mother lived with her, but died when I was about 18 months old.

Here are a few photos from Lisbon I posted when it was last the destination of the day. Tile work Monastery of St. Mary Monument to the Discoveries Belem Tower

Good afternoon. Thanks for the Daily. HAPPY MOTHER'S DAY! I had to laugh at Iris day, as when I saw it I thought of my eye condition (inflammation of the iris), rather than the flower. A salute to the Red Cross, Red Crescent and Victory in Europe. Interesting quote. I like the meal if someone makes if for me. Pass on the drink and wine. I have been to Lisbon on a land trip. Thanks for the photos. Finally, no rain! Our weather forecast is for a sunny week, something we don't get often. I've no plans for today. @grapau27 Thank you for today's sermon from Father David. Lovely picture of Pauline's Mam. @dfish Lovely picture of you and your Mom. @Rowsby Love the fashions in your picture with your Mom. Great family pictures too. @ottahand7 Beautiful irises. @GTVCRUISER Thanks for sharing the photo. @Cruzin Terri You'll get to Lisbon again hopefully. Great picture of you and your Mom. @kplady Great photo. @StLouisCruisers Aww, love the picture. I spent time scanning in a lot of photos to my computer, as I was afraid they'd disintegrate. I was the picture taker when I was growing up, so not a lot of me or ones of my Mother and I together. @Horizon chaser 1957 I'm glad you're not feeling too unwell. @smitty34877 What a lovely smile your Mother has. Sorry the night was rough, but good that Tana is finally getting some sleep. @4966and556 Sorry to hear your DD has Covid, and I hope it's a mild case. @JAM37 Sweet picture. @Cruising-along Love that early photo of your Mom. @kazu @cat shepard Continued prayers for you both during this sad time. Prayers for the Care List and Cheers for the Celebration List. Extra prayers for the suffering of Ukraine. Here is a picture of my mother from her teaching days (not sure what year); she got a yearly photo along with the students. I still have the pin she's wearing in the photo.

@Cruising-along @Quartzsite Cruiser Very nice pictures of Tallinn. @Horizon chaser 1957 So sorry to hear about the Covid diagnosis. I'm glad you're both feeling better. I've been reading about a lot of people testing positive after cruising, and I too think protocols have dropped too soon. It makes me reconsider cruising in November, especially with my medical issues.

Good morning. Thanks for the Daily @richwmn and all contributors. Interesting days. I will salute to birth mothers, including mine who gave me up for adoption. I found out who she is a few years ago, by getting my original birth certificate, but have not met her. I keep thinking I should grow some herbs. Cynical Marilyn quote. The "meal" looks interesting. I'll pass on the drink and wine. I haven't been to Tallinn, Estonia. Thanks for the pictures. It's still raining here, although supposed to stop soon. There have been landslides and trees down due to the ground being so saturated. In addition to birth mother day, I'll salute my adoptive mother today. It would be her 118th birthday today. She passed in 1993 at age 89, so happy heavenly birthday. She was a school teacher. As a single woman she adopted me when I was a week old. @dfish You'll probably be glad to get home. @grapau27 Hopefully the knee x-rays help the doctor figure out how to help you. Nice day at the beach. @StLouisCruisers It sounds like a tough trip for your niece, but thankfully she's coming home. Great pictures. @ger_77 It's good to hear that DH is feeling better, and you as well. @kazu Continued prayers for you in this journey. Prayers for the Care List and Ukraine and its people and helpers. Cheers for the Celebration List. Stay safe everyone.

I had to make a mad dash to the car place, as they called at 5 and they close at 6. BFF made the 20 minute drive here, then off we went. The car drives really well now, and no more of that noise. Yay! After consulting with the Rheumatology pharmacist, I narrowed it down to 2 drugs. Unfortunately for my first choice the self-injectable form isn't available, as it's being used in hospitalized Covid patients who have respiratory issues or are on ventilators. The IV form is available, but my veins aren't great. So I'll try for my 2nd choice, which is also an injection. They'll do the assistance forms for me. So I'll see. @ottahand7 Love the picture of the swans. Thanks for sharing. @bennybear Awww on the singing meadowlark. @HELENPSL Welcome to the Daily! I hope to hear from you again in the future.

Zudie is in view.

Good afternoon. Thanks for the Daily. A salute to Beverage Day (especially coffee and cabernet!), Child Care Workers are essential, and Nurses are so very essential! Fun quote. I'll pass on the meal (fish) and drink, but take the wine. I've been to China, but not Qingdao. It's very rainy here today. Flood warnings are out. Several trees have fallen around town, another on an occupied car, but I hope with not the dire results of last time. I'm waiting for my phone meeting with the Rheumatology pharmacist, to discuss the meds and possible help in affording them. I haven't heard back about my car, so I'll call after my meeting. What if they can't get the part needed in a timely fashion? @kazu Continued prayers for comfort and peace for you. @cat shepard Thinking of you and prayers for comfort. @dfish Sorry to hear your sewing machine is acting up. Maybe step away and the triangle points will cooperate when you go back to it. @StLouisCruisers Thanks for the pictures of today's port. @Heartgrove Sorry to hear that was the message to your sister. @Cruzin Terri Thanks for the picture. I hope the weather improves. Enjoy your tour of the Vatican and Sistine Chapel. @luvteaching Good news on DH's progress! @rafinmd Prayers for the fallen heroes and their families. Prayers for the Care List and a salute to the Celebration List. Stay safe everyone.
