I was in my 20s and didn't give it a second thought. Now? Not sure I would go to the trouble. My Jack shares your son in law's birthday. However, NOT 51. We had a wonderful lunch today with friends at our favorite Italian joint. There was a cake, some singing and we laughed, carried on and stayed over 2 hours. I look at him and still see that young hunk I met and fell in love with over 50 years ago.

22 Seconds was good. The 23rd Midnight book comes out in March. Yes, I love them too. I think the 23rd is the only book I might buy to read on the Bella cruise. They really are wonderful reads. Your grandkids, as always, are beautiful no matter how their pictures are posted. Ricky is quite the handsome cat. While on a tour, I was in the dead sea years ago. The only caution was not to go in if we had recent cuts and not to shave for a few days before. No mention of old bathing suits and I don't recall anything bad happening to mine. I was fine. Dani will probably have more info.

@dani negreanuDani, thank you for sharing your wonderful celebrations with us, your 50th wedding anniversary and DH's birthday. "until 120" - long life. Beautiful setting but then Tel Aviv and Old Jaffo hold special places in my heart. My favorite place to meander on our visits to Israel was always Old Jaffo. And how I love "Tel Aviv! I need to agree with other posters that you both look wonderful, you especially beautiful.

I hope you enjoy it. After you read, please post what you thought of the ending. No spoiler alerts here. I also finished The Boys From Biloxi - John Grisham. I was not a fan of this one and the ending left me unsettled. I seem to remember @Momof3gurlzDeb stating the same. I'm waiting for the newest Women's Mystery book by James Patterson. Library doesn't have it yet and I'm too cheap to buy also!

We better not be tested on this stuff! I basically read mysteries/thrillers as well. Series are ok if I read out of turn, and they give a short synopsis of what previously went on. I've read a few Joy Fielding books in the past and the one I'm reading now is a page turner. I get most of my kindle books borrowed from the library. I reserved a few that I hope I get in time for our upcoming cruises.

I never had the need for Amazon Prime since we usually order more than $25 which is free delivery. We usually get delivery sooner than the promised date which is always a good surprise. We've ordered from Walmart as well, with good results. We like Wayfair for home decor. Our favorite brick and mortar store for home decor is At Home and Home Goods. The mother of all stores here is Nebraska Furniture Mart. We have great shopping, don't we?

Dani would know better but if purchased in the Middle East, it looks like a Passover seder plate to be filled with traditional items and displayed on the dinner table during Passover.. 6th item is usually salt water. Seder plate Arrange five items on the plate: a hard-boiled egg; a roasted shank bone; a spring vegetable such as parsley, called karpas; a mixture of fruit, wine, and nuts, called charoset; and either prepared or fresh horseradish, called maror.

We're looking for a cruise out of Galveston in 2024. non holiday, non summer. Lots of options. Good rates on Harmony but the lower rates always indicate guarantee inside non-refundable deposit. Our criteria is refundable and NOT a guarantee cabin. We'll do the choosing thank you very much. Still early so we shall see. Lots of Carnival which I refuse to cruise ever since they botched up a cruise and had Jack and I sitting alone at a table for 4, not allowing us to join our table of 10 friends. We all booked at the same time, using the same TA who sent me Carnival's written confirmation that we were all linked for dining. We all talked until we were blue in the face but it did no good. We even suggested 2 tables of 6 each but were told it wasn't possible. BTW, initially, Jack and I were booked in a different dining room than our friends. Carnival Triumph had two different dining rooms. Yes, THAT ship but thankfully years before the poop cruise. Luckily, they moved us to our friends dining room and since nobody was assigned to our table of 4, each night, 2 different friends sat with us. They did not allow Jack and I to sit at the "big table" but allowed our friends to sit at our table. We made lemonade out of lemons so it turned out to be sort of doable. I wish I kept the letter I wrote to Carnival headquarters. It was a masterpiece. For my trouble, I received a voucher for some beauty items in the SPA to be used on a future cruise. Seriously? I just wanted to be "heard". OK, rant over. Sorry!
