Mr. Boston

Good morning everyone from beautiful, sunny Montreal.  We arrived Tuesday afternoon and have been enjoying the Old Port, where we are staying prior to our cruise on the Volendam.  It’s been over ten years since we have been here and it’s been fun getting reacquainted.  We had dinner last evening at a lovely Polish restaurant called Stash that had live piano music and delicious food and drinks.  Pretty close to my grandmothers’ quality.

Thanks for the daily report, recipes and lists.  Two fun and one important day to recognize.  I set up the roof deck irrigation system before we left so hopefully the few containers of flowers that we planted are getting watered this morning.  

Sadly, the quote seems to be true in many cases.  
 

Yes to today’s food and drink, both sound delicious.

 I haven’t been to today’s port.

Praying for those on our care list.  Cheers to those of you who are celebrating happy events today.  Happy birthday to @kazu and @GTVCRUISER! 🎂🍾🎉

Good morning everyone.  It’s gray and 65F here.  A glum day to be flying to Montreal.  Can’t figure out why I woke up so early unless my subconscious was telling me to finish packing.

 I think all three days are fine to celebrate especially Amnesty International.  All humans deserve basic rights.

 The quote is nice and inspiring.

No to the meal and drink suggestions.

 I have not been to today’s port.

Prayers for those on our prayer list.  Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events today!

Wow! I spent my formative years in North Andover. And lots of Summers at Stevens Pond. 

My partner is from there and worked as a lifeguard at Stevens Pond.  He’s from a family of twelve brothers and sisters and lived on Sutton Hill.  Here is a photo of today’s ceremony. 
 

Good morning everyone.  It’s a misty day here, the Memorial Day celebration in North Andover will take on a somber tone.

Two fun days to recognize and one important one.  I’ll take your grape popsicle if you don’t want it.

 I like the quote today it sums up the importance of friendship.

The meal sounds tasty and I think I would like the drink as dessert.

I have not been to today’s port; thanks for sharing your photos of it.

Prayers for those on our prayer list and for those who gave their lives protecting our country and the freedoms that we so often take for granted.  Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events today! 🍾🇺🇸

Good morn everyone from a rainy Boston, it’s 60F here this morning.  Thank-you for the daily report.  
 

A fun collection of days today, the Lindy Hop, paper airplanes and cellophane tape.  I haven’t made a paper airplane in ages, maybe today.

Not sure on the meal and no on the drink.  Quinoa isn’t my favorite food.

Funny quote by Erma Bombeck, I miss her writing.

 I haven’t been to today’s port.

Prayers for those on our prayer list.  Cheers to those of you who are celebrating happy events today!

At what time are you departing today?

Good morning everyone.  Thanks for the daily updates.

We have three worthy days to observe.  I’ll gladly forgo plastic utensils today.  I don’t have to brown bag it anymore as I have lunch at home, it did save tons of money when I did do it.  Missing children are heartbreaking for their families and we should always be aware of them.

I’m with @MISTER 67 on the quote, I just don’t get it.

Probably not on the meal suggestion, there’s something about orzo that I don’t enjoy.  I do however enjoy a Manhattan with a Luxardo Cherry.

I haven’t been to today’s port.

Prayers for those on our prayer list and for those who are in need.  Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events today!

Good morning everyone, it’s a beautiful May morning here.  Thanks for the daily report, recipes and lists, so much to know about.

My DB is departed, I don’t own a tiara nor do I know Morse Code but I will celebrate them all today!

Not sure I like the quote, it just seems like lying to me.

I do like the meal and drink suggestions though.  Yes please to both and thanks for encouraging cake for a meal 😋.

I haven’t been to today’s port yet.

Prayers for those on our prayer list, here’s hoping that they help.  Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events and happy birthday to @Heartgrove! 🎉🎂🥂

@Mr. Boston.

I wish you an amazing cruise tomorrow on Volendam.

Thanks so much Graham.  We actually sail next Saturday from Montreal.  It’s a good reminder to start packing though!

Thanks @Rubyfisch looking forward to following along.  My husband and I will be doing the reverse trip embarking in Montreal when you disembark.  We’ve sailed this itinerary once before and loved it.  A ten minute taxi and we’re home!

Good morning everyone.  Thanks for today’s report.  Looks like we may get a few thunderstorms and a high of 83F today.

Three interesting days to recognize although my taffy days are in the past with two crowns on my molars.

I suppose that there’s more to today’s quote, I can’t quite wrap my head around it this early.

The meal and drink suggestions sound very good.  
 

I haven’t been to today’s port.

Prayers for those on our prayer list today.  Cheers to those celebrating happy events.  Happy Birthday @smitty34877 to Tana!🎂

Good morning everyone. It’s sunny and 63F here, soon to heat up to the upper 80’s. We’re off to Portland for the day to select furniture.  
 

Thanks for the daily report and for all of the useful information that I can’t live without.

Three nice days to recognize, I think I’ll just be me today.

The quote is funny, a humorous start to the day.

The meal sounds tasty and nutritious, will have to wait and see on the drink.

I’ve been to today’s port once to visit a friend.  It was sunny and beautiful at Thanksgiving that year, a really lovely place.

Praying for everyone on our prayer list and for those in need of them.  Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events today!  Have a nice day everyone.

Good morning everyone.  Thanks for the daily report, recipes and lists.

It’s 56F and will get up to 83F today I think I’ll have dig out a pair of shorts to wear for the first time this season.  
 

I’ll celebrate tea and patches but not the other. I think it’s quite arrogant to claim to know what God is about to do.  
 

The meal sounds delicious and I would definitely give the drink a try.  It might go nicely with the salmon.

Not sure that I agree with the quote but for some it may be true.

I have not been to today’s port so thanks for sharing your photos.

Prayers for everyone on our prayer list and for those who need them.  Happy ________ to those who are celebrating.  There seems to be a lot to celebrate at this time of year.

Good Monday morning everyone, it certainly takes on a different ring when you’re retired!  Thanks for the daily report. 
 

Hats off to Eliza Doolittle who transformed into a lady.  Won’t be drawing Mohammed, the premise of the day seems mean spirited.  The general consensus amongst professionals that I knew was that HR was not your friend, I thought Personnel was a better name for that department.

Not sure what to make of today’s quote.

The meal and drink suggestions sound nice. We can always eat more salads.

 I haven’t been to today’s port.

Prayers for those on our prayer list, here’s hoping that things improve.  Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events!

Good morning everyone.  Thanks for the daily report.  Three nice days to recognize.  I’m also celebrating my nephew Nick who is graduating from Notre Dame as I type this!  I wish him much success in his career and life!  The quote is humorous.  I think that both the meal suggestion and drink sound like winners.  I haven’t been to today’s port. Prayers for those on our prayer list.  Cheers to those of you who are celebrating happy events! 🍾🎉

Good morning everyone.  It’s cool and overcast here this morning.  
 

You see lots of graduation tassels here in Boston at this time of year as the many colleges and universities send this year’s graduates out into the world, it’s an exciting time for sure.  I usually have walnuts in some form each day.  I’m not really a Pinot Grigio fan so no celebrating for me.

The quote is an excellent one, timely too as I’m planning a visit to the Boston Public Library later this morning.

The blueberry almond tart sounds delicious and if you insist that I make a meal out of it, well okay!  I think the drink would be too sweet for me and way too much work.

 I haven’t been to today’s port.

Prayers for all on our prayer list today.  Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events!

Good morning everyone, it’s raining and 56F here this morning.  Thank-you for the daily report, recipes and lists.

Three nice days to recognize, light and peace seem to go hand in hand.

The quote is humorous and makes you think, a little.

I think that I would try today’s dish out of curiosity and save the drink for Christmas.

I haven’t been to today’s destination.

Prayers for those on our prayer list and for those who are recuperating from recent surgeries.  Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events today!  Happy anniversary to @aliaschief and his DW. 🍾

Good morning everyone.  It’s overcast and mid 50’s here this morning with a little rain expected.  Thanks for the daily updates.

Three interesting days, families are the building blocks of any society, I can’t imagine the strife that so many are enduring on any given day due to war, poverty or just plain neglect. My thoughts will be with them today.

I like the quote, life is a gift that we should nurture.

The lemon blueberry bread sounds like a perfect breakfast with a fresh cup of coffee.

And how could today’s drink be bad?

We were in today’s port last October, I’ll try and find some photos.

Praying for those on our prayer list.  Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events today!

Views from our visit to Acropolis:

Good morning everyone and thanks for the daily report.  Welcome back from your amazing trip @richwmn.

Three unique days for us to recognize although I thought the Chicken Dance died a well deserved death a long time ago!

The meal and drink suggestions sound delicious and would probably even go well together.  
 

I like the quote and it can be applied to most organizations and teams.

I have not been to today’s port.  Thanks for sharing your amazing photos of it.

Prayers for those on our prayer list, I hope that your surgery went well @Nickelpenny.

Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events.  Happy anniversary wishes to @summer slope!

Good morning everyone.  Thanks for the daily report.  
 

Croutons mean French Onion Soup to me.  All the frog jumping videos that I’ve watched look like they would be a lot of fun to attend.  I like hummus but it doesn’t excite me like salsa or chip dip does.

It’s good to remind ourselves of today’s quote so that we don’t let the important things slip through our hands before it’s too late.

I’d pass on the meal suggestion but would never turn down a Bloody Mary, extra spicy for me please.

I haven’t been to today’s port, I’ll bet it’s lovely. 
 

Prayers for those on our prayer list today.  Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events!

Good morning and Happy Mother’s Day to all of the mothers out there.  Three nice days to recognize, I love reading limericks.  Nice quote and true as well.  I’ll pass on the meal as I’m not a fan of bok choy but the drink sounds refreshing.  I haven’t been to today’s port, I’ll visit through the photos.  Prayers for those on our prayer list.  @1ANGELCAT I’m sorry for your loss of Houdini yesterday, it’s hard to say goodbye to a beloved pet.  Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events today! 

Good morning from a sunny and cool 45F Boston.  Thanks for our daily dose of useful information.  Three interesting days to recognize.  I do appreciate the root canals that I have although getting them wasn’t a lot of fun.  Funny quote for today.  I do like a good Cobb Salad but I just had one for lunch yesterday.  I think that I’ll pass on the drink.  Have not been to today’s port.  Prayers for everyone on our prayer list.  Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events.  Bon voyage to our daily friends who are setting sail today and welcome back to the world cruisers!🍾🎉🛳️

Good morning everyone.  It’s cool and overcast and will remain so all day.  
 

We’ll be heading to the Harvard-Radcliff pottery sale today.  Our friend Pamela teaches there and we like to support their work.  

Happy Dia de la Madre to all Mexican mothers.  Hopefully my card and flowers arrive at my mother’s house arrive by tomorrow.  I wish I could be there to take her to church on Sunday but two of my sisters will have that honor.  I salute Hostess cupcakes and hamsters although I never had a hamster and I rarely have a Hostess cupcake.

I’ll pass on the meal but say yes to the cocktail, it sounds different and tasty.

I was at today’s port eleven years ago and will be there in a few weeks.  Last time we rented a car and drove up the Cabot Trail which was a stunning drive as it was a clear day.  This time we’re renting a car and will visit Baddeck and the Alexander Graham Bell Museum.  
 

Prayers for those on our prayer list, hoping @marshhawk’s procedure goes smoothly.  Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events today!

Good morning everyone.  It started out sunny and 53F here but it’s supposed to cloud over for most of the day.  Thanks for the daily report, recipes and lists.   Three nice days to celebrate.  I agree with today’s quote.  I’ll pass on today’s meal and drink suggestions.  I have not been to today’s port.  Praying for those on our prayer list.  Cheers to those of you who are celebrating happy events today!🎉

Good morning everyone.  It’s gray and mild here with thunderstorms predicted today.  Thanks for today’s report.  Three important days to recognize,  thanks @grapau27 for the explanation of Thalassaemia, I learn so much from this crowd.

 I like the quote, who can resist a friend bearing chocolate?

The meal and drink suggestions sound very good, to me.

I have not been to today’s port.

Prayers for those on today’s prayer list.  Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events! 🥂
