  1. Sandi, me thinks I’d stay in Florida those 3 days in between! 🫤.
  2. Reading the Care lists I realized that along with see Vanessa’s entry that my DH’s eye pressures stabilized, maybe it should say, Maureen’s disposition stabilized too…” Off to mammogram this morning. Dinner was very nice with those who invited us to join them. I ate too much! Got up at midnight for a ginger ale which helped. Later, m—
  3. ☘️ Top O’ the Morning! ☘️ I grew up with an Irish mother and an Irish name! St Paddy’s Day was very important! In recent years I had fun delicious St Patrick’s Day dinner parties for neighbors and fire department friends …. one year I made 5 corned beefs and 10 lbs of potatoes. Guests brought enough beer and Guinness to last us a year! It’s been sweet to hear happy memories of these fun times this week from some of my old mountain friends! ☘️ 🛳️🍾 Bon Voyage Kathi @Scrapnana I am absolutely thrilled you are cruising!! 🌈🎆 We were invited to join a couple for dinner today whom we met at a church service here. It’ll be extra fun with the St Patrick’s Day menu.. lots of options including fish and chips! and of course corned beef and cabbage, plus the “always available” selections. I’m very glad to meet some new people here! Younger Granddaughter and her new husband visited yesterday. Always a joy to be with them - young love, youthful enthusiasm and of course their precious help with media🤣 !! It’s very caring of them to make the visit, and they were rewarded with not only dinner but the lemon meringue pie from pi day! Lucky them. DH’s eye pressure we’re back to more expected numbers, 🙏 thankfully! We’re waiting for them to stabilize and then climb a bit so they can open the next suture, but can’t make that next step with the pressure so very low as it just was…. one day at a time! Maybe they can leave that suture permanently? I guess they’ll tell us when the timing gets here. I do love a rum punch on vacation! Thanks for the Antiqua pix and memories @StLouisCruisers Lots of history to celebrate too! Blessings to all in need of healing, comfort or hope! Terry, one more day this weekend…. an hour at a time! 🤗. Melissa too! ❤️ 🍾 Happy 63rd Anniversary @irishjim and Sheila, never enough anniversaries! 🎉 Here’s my mom’s favorite Irish Blessing! Have a blessed day everyone! ☘️Maureen 🍀
  4. Thank you Annie, @marshhawk! First, I’m very relieved that DH’s eye pressures are more as expected today! Hanging in! And DH began the project of putting up pictures in the new condo! The pictures really make it home! Yay! Here’s 2 of the first ones up- Mo’orea! The bay! And you can easily make out a Wind Song ship near the opening in the reef; our HAL ship is harder to see on the far right, Amsterdam. The lagoon to the left is where they took us to see the rays and sharks. DH went on the photography excursion. Second picture is looking back at Tahiti. @Haljo1935 we’re here for you! two things you have to do today: Breathe in, and out! 🤗 I was not following the Daily thread at the beginning but I remember following the stories of so many cruisers trying to make it home, make it into ports, onto flights, some sadly ill and fighting to stay alive. Amazing support from people on the boards who were truly heroes to others, helping strangers. I’ll remember the love! Maureen Grandkids are on their way!
  5. Beautiful crisp morning at 43F. A few puffy clouds. A great day for a parade! 🍀☘️ Yesterday was 60s and very Springlike with a dark, fast, heavy shower for just a few minutes- the exact minutes DH walked from car into Home Depot! DH is sleeping, will check eye pressures around 10 🤞. It was making me crazy last night, unexpected readings, on a Friday night! After 1-ish I got to sleep so not too bad a night. I don’t know how Annie @marshhawk does it with so many crazy unexpected ups and downs… but Annie you inspire me! 🤩 We’ve been blessed to visit Mo’orea twice. DH’s panoramas are unpacked but not on the wall yet, soon! Stunning place. Grandkids said they’d come today, hoping that happens. There’s still lemon meringue pie to share with them 😌. We got special instructions about making Easter dinner reservations in our dining rooms, haven’t seen the menu yet but the hours are for a midday dinner. I think we’ll pass. We’ll already be beyond our allotted number of dinners for the month (1each per day) having shared twice with grandkids so we’re thinking it’s a good opportunity to do something different, not sure what but we’ll open our thinking! Bon Voyage to @Suslor @RedneckBob and @Crazy For Cats 🛳️🍾 Welcome home Pennie! Looking forward to hearing more about your free cruise and how that works! Serious blessings to all who are ill, caring for loved ones recovering or not recovering, all on our Care list, all in need of a lift! In my Mindful Meditation class yesterday we spent a bit of time talking about the importance of finding our peace in stormy times. Our world is filled with storms. The Daily has been a place of peace! Thank you all for being here! Maureen PS. 4 yrs ago we were in Houston for treatment for DH at MD Anderson Cancer Center. A very Amazing place! We were lucky to be guided to a rental trailer to live comfortably for 15 weeks from Jan 6- April 16. It was all very difficult but then the really wild times hit! We each had our own wild times through it all, we each found our way through somehow to get to be here and now, some with scarring losses. All of us came through changed, and we keep going with each other’s caring love and loving care! Give yourself a big hug, and Enjoy something beautiful today! Thanks to all who share their beautiful memories and photos! m—
  6. @dfish Debbie you are a trooper, making do ti be with your family. I had figured out your response ahead because that’s about all you can do. Or bring your own food. @Nickelpenny Pennie, we are all so happy for you! 🛳️🌈 @marshhawk Annie, we’re happy for you too! Maybe you’re starting a win streak too! 🤞. Stunning water @aliaschief, thank you Bruce! My appt with GI doc was short and smooth, procedure scheduled for early May. 👍 DH’s eye pressure is doing unexpected things… why always on a Friday night🤦🏼‍♀️? Hoping it evens out through the weekend. I have to not let it make me crazy! m—
  7. Ewww, not the best choice for you, how do you deal with it?
  8. Very mixed day here. Started with partly cloudy, then storm clouds began arriving as we were leaving my GI appt. Stopped at Home Depot and it poured! Spring! Another appt booked! That’s all I was looking for this year. I hope none will require follow-ups. I’ve been meaning to mention that I’m thrilled to see @Scrapnana Kathy on our list of cruises coming up! Thrilled that she is well enough to cruise again! I hope we get an update, and if I missed it I’m sorry but thrilled for her. Thanks to whomever forwarded her plans to the Daily. I spoke with my brother briefly, SIL is managing treatment so far, niece and brother are managing their schedules so far every day at the Rehab. One day at a time. So relieved for Ann and DSis! Newlywed granddaughter and her husband plan to visit tomorrow. It’ll be good to see them, haven’t since the December wedding… time flies! Blessings sent to all in need… thinking of all on our Care list, and Vanessa, Annie and Chuck, Terri and Jim, Terry and Tana, Graham and family, Melissa! those waiting on procedures, direction… all in need of healing, comfort or hope! Hugs to you all! Happy celebrating, and Bon Voyage Katherine! Great news @Nickelpenny on your luck! Gotta have some good luck! Smooth travels to all away! Lovely pictures of Trondheim. We were there twice on our up-and-back Hurtigruten cruise but it rained both times! Amazing cathedral from 1070 or thereabouts… some took 100 years to build. Mind boggling what it took to build that back then. Enjoy something beautiful today! Life is Good🌈 Love the Emerson quote! Maureen
  9. Finally catching up. Sorry to year of those who are sick, hoping meds are helping, and procedures are getting done as scheduled. Glad Fiona is better. And hoping Chase can come home tomorrow and the biopsy is negative! Tomorrow morning I visit the GI clinic for preliminary eval prior to scheduling a colonoscopy. I now appts for a mammo Monday, dermatology screening in May, and a gyn in June…. I opted for the times on-campus when possible even if further out. DH did some more on taxes, so we’re both making progress. Here’s the lemon meringue pie! For Pi day! Totally unhealthy but fun! I gave it an A! Not the absolute best ever but pretty darned good! Granddaughter and her husband are coming Saturday, we’ll see if there’s any left for them 😁. Blessings to all in need! And for improvements where needed! Happy for those celebrating! Every day is worth celebrating 🌈 Smooth travels to all away, ✈️🛳️ and 🚘. Thanks all for being here! Maureen
  10. HAPPY PI DAY. 3.14…. Working on a lemon meringue pie for DH today, his DD DM’s family recipe! I’m behind this morning, will catch up later. Blue sky and 53F! Nice. Blessing to all! Later. m—
  11. Back home from haircuts and grocery run. Glad to have those done! Short break before a mentoring call with teens in NM newly certified wildland firefighters! Very proud of them for their volunteer service to their community. Then early supper for us do I can get into a church group call with my prior home- staying connected during my transition… one foot on the dock and the other in the boat. @JazzyVVanessa, you do an outstanding service for all of us! We are so appreciative of your dedication to keeping up the Care, Celebration and Cruising lists through all of your own pain, illness and upheaval. And you are much more competent at using the posting tools, quoting, cut and pasting than I will ever be. Many, many thanks for all you do for us! I’ll keep you posted! Hope your are much better from the Zpack! m—
  12. From @JazzyV’s Rotation list today…. “RMLincoln’s in Rehab hospital, getting radiation treatments”, it’s for my SiL. I talked with my niece two nights ago and the scans were done and the schedule was to start yesterday, not confirmed to me that it happened. I’ll check in with them in a few days, I try not to bug them, they are overwhelmed. My job is to update my other brother, sister and cousins, usually a condensed version. The good news is that my brother seems glad for some family contact after the long years of isolation. I feel that they’re in for a rough ride ahead and will need all the support they can get. Thanks all for your support. m—
