Good Morning from a warm and sunny day at the beach Hopefully things will begin to dry out. We did not have any flooding in my immediate area but several places did, Golf course for one. There is a lot of erosion on the beach, but hopefully it will fill in. We were in Papua last fall. My pictures are the same as Sandi`s @StLouisCruisers. We also walked around the town. Very Hot even for this Floridian. Sorry to see the Care List growing. I hope that all are feeling better soon. Today heading to Orlando for the appointments that were rescheduled during last weeks storms. Stay safe and enjoy today Charlene

Good Morning from a still raining day at the beach I was hoping it would clear today but does not look promising. We need the rain but not all at once. LOL. I really like butternut squash but not mac and cheese. DH and I were just talking about butternut squash and he wants me to buy it all cut up. It is so hard to peel and chop! @seagarsmoker I am so sorry to read of your layoff. Never good. Best of luck with finding a new job. @Cruzin Terri Be careful driving. The roads are very slick. According to our news, the rain lets up south of Melbourne. So not far in the rain. @kazu What a wonderful tribute to your DH. He sounds like he was a wonderful man. Any plans I had for today are on hold pending the weather. Stay safe and enjoy today Charlene

Good Morning Jacqui, We are booked on the VOV on the Zuiderdam leaving July 20th. Also booked our First World Cruise !!! Zuiderdam Jan 4, 2025. Thank you for continuing to do this Charlene ( Cunnorl)

Have a wonderful and relaxing trip!

Good Morning from a very windy and rainy day at the beach Weather here is wicked. High winds and rain squalls. Very high surf. Water up to dune crossovers. So there will be beach erosion. Weather suppose to continue thru Saturday. YIKES! Golf was cancelled yesterday and the course will probably end up being closed for flooding. I was scheduled for a derm follow up today but DH did not want me to drive to Orlando so I cancelled. We dont often have weather where things are cancelled. It is usually very mild around here. I am going to go thru my Christmas linens and wrapping supplies today. We werent here for the holidays last year so I forget what I have. Some things probably need to be replaced. Stay safe and enjoy today Charlene

Good Morning from a warm but rainy day at the beach I think Ann @cat shepard sent us their rainy weather from yesterday. We have been to Dublin a few times but not on a ship. We are scheduled to stop there ( Dun Laoghaire) on next summers VOV. We plan to take the train to Dublin and then just walk around. We were thinking of the HOHO but this years reports were that it was very crowded with long waits. We will walk. better for us. Yesterdays play was wonderful. The actors really put their heart and soul into it. They have added a special show for December with limited tickets. So we bought them yesterday. We are going to the matinee on the 16th and then my group will come back here for a light supper. It will be fun. Tomorrow is my DD `S Bday. For some reason, she cries when anyone sings or says Happy Birthday. So we dont but still need to celebrate. We are taking her to the Festival of Trees in Orlando. We will have a cake ( no candles) when we get back. Prayers for all of our Dailylite friends. Stay safe and enjoy today Charlene

Good Morning from a cloudy but warm day at the beach The ocean is calm this morning. Late yesterday on my walk, it was churning, big waves bringing in lots of seaweed. Hopefully it will be gone soon. @Crazy For Cats a very Happy Birthday to you. Hope you have many more @StLouisCruisers A Happy Birthday wish for your DS @rafinmd Have a wonderful trip Going to a play at the Community Playhouse this afternoon. The actors are always so enthusiastic . We like to support local events. DH is starting a new eye study tomorrow. He has dry macular degeneration. These clinical trials are so important. You never know when there will be a breakthrough. Have a wonderful and safe Sunday Charlene

Good Afternoon from a very sunny and warm day at the beach I give a huge and thankful salute to all veterans. They should be honored everyday. My family has many members that served from WWII to the recent war in Iraq. I am very grateful for their service and sacrifice. Ann @cat shepard I was surprised to read it was raining there. What a difference a few miles can make. It is very warm, almost hot here. Played golf this AM. Always fun. I am back to playing 2x a week so all is good. I read with a great bit of interest the other day about straps for the iPhone. So today I am going to research it . Great idea plus safer. Have a great Saturday Charlene

Cant argue on that point Roy. Orlando has really wicked traffic and crazy impatient drivers. It was one of the reasons we moved to the beach after retiring. Have a wonderful trip!

Good Morning from a warm and sunny day at the beach I really enjoy piano music, it is very relaxing. Love a good Cappuccino. Xray was a very important discovery. It has advanced to even more sophisticated testing. Spacex is launching so many satellites that Star Link must be everywhere by now. There was another launch last nite just after midnight. My windows were rattling. Golf this afternoon. Should be great without all the wind! Stay safe and enjoy today Charlene

Good Morning from a getting warmer and sunny day at the beach Wind not as bad but the ocean is still very choppy. Rip currents are a big problem. Meal suggestion sounds good. Thanks Debbie @dfish We were scheduled to go to Komodo Island on the Noordam in 2022 but their government would not let the ship in. I guess their rules have changed again and are now allowing ships. Will have to try again. @StLouisCruisers Adorable picture of Elliott Rose. She looks very happy. @rafinmd Safe travels today. Hope you have a wonderful cruise. Glad you are feeling well enough to travel again @grapau27 Happy to hear you had a good appointment with the cardiologist I used Luggage Forward for the 1st time on our last trip. Loved it. Will continue to use them. By the time you add up airline fees and we need a bigger taxi/uber the price is not too bad. Doctors appointment this afternoon and a few errands. Stay safe and enjoy today Charlene

Good Morning from a sunny and bright day at the beach No wind at present. Hope it stays away for awhile. Not a football fan. I do like Chinese food but there are no Chinese restaurants here. We were in Kona in 2022 on the Noordam. We have been there a few times. We walked to Walmart and then just meandered around the town. Waded in the water next to the tender port. It is a great little town. Driving my nephew and his GF to the port today. They are taking a 5 day on MSC. They really like that line. @smitty34877 Was thinking of you yesterday. Glad the Memorial went well. Hope everyone has a pleasant Sunday. Charlene

Have a wonderful trip!

Good Morning from a very windy day at the beach The temperature is warm but the winds are intense. Huge whitecaps on the ocean. It has been this way all week. I played golf on Wednesday and it did me in. Playing into the wind was difficult. Our course is divided into 3 separate 9 hole courses. 2 were reserved for a high school girls tournament. There were 200 girls from all over the state. It was fun and exciting to see such youth and enthusiasm playing golf. So between all of them, their coaches and parents it was quite busy. I cancelled water aerobics for this AM. Just too windy ! Lots going on with everyone. I was thrilled to see the update on Baby Murphy. Will pray that she continues to thrive. Stay safe and enjoy today Charlene

Good Morning from a warm and sunny day at the beach Feels like the high winds have finally settled down and the ocean appears calmer today. The last of my company leaves today. They wore me out. @StLouisCruisers Sandi thanks for all the great pictures of Belfast. We are scheduled to go there next summer on the VOV. I have booked an excursion to the Giants Causeway. I do like Candy corn but have not had any in awhile. Stay safe and enjoy today Charlene

@grapau27 Graham, Happy Birthday! Hope you enjoy many more. Have a great day!

Ann, Love your map! It is so true. I grew up in Woobin (Woburn) and have to spell it so people understand. My DH claims he is my interpreter. Even though we were transferred to Florida with the space program 35 years ago, I still talk like a Bostonian.

I have been using the gift cards to make payments online without difficulty until now. I have tried several times without success. Same experience as you. I am going to try to call HAL today which I really dont want to do.

Good Morning from a cloudy day at the beach Currently 70 degrees, going to low 80`s. Nice weather. Stockholm is on my list. We were scheduled to go there but the Pandemic cancelled it. I would love to see the Vasa and ABBA museums. I am a big fan of ABBA. Still listen to their music. Havent posted the last few days but have been following. Been kind of busy here. My sister arrives tomorrow and my SIL and her sister arrive on Thursday. Always nice to see everyone. Have been trying to make a payment on my HAL cruise. Usually do it online without issues. I put it all the info and hit submit and it starts over. Have tried several times over the last few days. Will have to call which I hate to do. Continued prayers for everyone. Stay safe and enjoy today Charlene

Good Morning from a " warming" day at the beach It is currently 67degrees but warming to 80. It is fall after all @SusieKIslandGirl A very Happy Birthday to you. @Seasick Sailor A very Happy Birthday May you both have many more @superoma Interesting survey on library use. I am on the board for our library here. We have a very active library with many programs and classes for all ages. What is interesting is that many use the online program for ebooks. Because we have many seniors here who prefer a book, there is a drop off and reserve where they will deliver to the car. Our library is very active for such a small town. Off to water aerobics Stay safe and enjoy today

Good Morning from a cool but sunny day at the beach It is presently 61degrees and only going up to 70. I opened all the windows to get some fresh air, first time since March! No longer have a boss and I really like pasta in all forms. We went to Fakarava on the Eurodam in 2019. Beautiful island, will post pictures later. All is quiet here today. It seems everyone is going off on cruises. My sister is a big RCL fan and she is on a repositioning trip and will end up in Miami. She and her DH will drive here and spend a few days before going back to Boston. Stay safe and enjoy today Charlene

@NextOne Hope your surgery goes smoothly and you are feeling better soon. It will be great to have your sister with you during the recovery. Will keep you in my thoughts and prayers.

Good Afternoon from a warm and sunny day at the beach Played golf with my wonderful son this AM. Beautiful morning and the greens are drying out after all our rain. We were in Victoria in 2014 and went to Butchart Gardens. Loved it and it is on the return list. Funny story about our visit. The next day we were scheduled to fly out of Vancouver to home. DD`s wheelchair did not pass the "bomb test". We were all frantic trying to figure out what was wrong and if we would miss our flight. My BIL finally said to the agent that we were at Butchart Gardens the day before. Next thing they are on the phone and then we were whisked very quickly to our plane that was ready to depart. Seems they called the Garden and some type of fertilizer was just used. It must have picked up on the wheels of her chair. They wiped down the chair and we were off. Quite an experience. Hope everyone has a nice relaxing weekend Stay safe and enjoy today Charlene

Cloudy and windy here at the coast. No rain as yet and no tornadoi warnings. I am suppose to go to Orlando this afternoon for an appointment and I am debating cancelling it. There is nothing worse than being on the Beeline (528)in a storm! Hope you stay safe and out of harms way.

@cruising sister Happy Birthday. Hope you enjoy many more
