Plastic bands? That seems silly since the chair clearly has those “stoppers” for different reclining heights. Got scissors? Snip-snip! 😇

Bon Voyage!

Congratulations once again to your talented grandson Jack! Beautiful photo of your family and your handsome son!

It was, but tell me you didn’t say “wooooh” if you downed it like a shot 😉😂! I wonder if homemade is smoother than commercially bottled? Guess it could go either way.

Yes, much too sweet but harsh at the same time. I always say it has a furniture polish vibe, lol.

Thank you all for the input regarding a cruise to Norway. We’ve made no progress lol. May doesn’t seem to be the best time for an itinerary such as this, but summer isn’t ideal for us to travel. I would expect cool, rainy weather in Norway so if that’s the only drawback to cruising in May, we might just go with it. This has become my summer drink of choice. Just Limoncello, ice and club soda with a garnish of mint. It’s not a true Limoncello Spritz without the Prosecco, but I actually prefer it this way. So easy and refreshing.

Nice! Hope you and Mike have a great cruise. @Coralc Sorry you’re still experiencing so much pain. I hope you have some improvement soon. @Luckynana Happy belated 53rd anniversary to you and Jim (and birthday for your daughter)! What a nice picture of the two of you on your special day.

I’m not sure if you’re saying the 5/10 or 5/17 would be your first choice? With Geiranger and Flam being the top two ports? I somehow missed the 6/28 itinerary. That one might also be doable. The August 14 nighter is unfortunately out for us as we have our family trip that same month.

Okay my cruising friends, particularly those of you who have done a Norwegian Fjords cruise, I’m looking for some input. We are considering planning one for next spring and I want to get the most bang for my buck, scenery wise. Celebrity Apex has three sailings in May, all with different port stops. These are the itineraries for each, two are 7 night cruises and one is an 8 nighter. They all have two sea days at different points. 5/3 - Haugesund, Olden, Flam, Bergen 5/10 - Nordfjord, Flam, Geiranger, Brussels Belgium (8 nts) 5/17 - Brussels, Olden, Geiranger, Alesund, Stavanger Celebrity Eclipse has a 12 night which also includes the Arctic Circle but it departs on June 5th. This would mean missing my new grandson Tyler’s first birthday, so that’s a no go for us. I feel like Geiranger is the ‘not to be missed’ port for seeing fjords and more nights are always better, so I’m leaning towards the May 17th itinerary. Thoughts??

Congratulations Greg, I had a good feeling you’d be chosen. Now I can say I know an Emmy winner AND a movie star 😉! @dani negreanu I’m so glad you were able to enjoy a night out with your friends, loved seeing the smile in your face. As far as Uber/Lyft, I have the Uber app on my phone and Andy has Lyft on his. When we’re looking for a ride, we can easily compare pricing and wait time/availability for each. We find it very easy to use and there are often promotions. Currently I earn 5x points on my Chase Sapphire card for Lyft and recently Uber was running a 20% off deal.

Bon Voyage! We are headed up to NH for the weekend. Friends invited us to join them at their condo in North Woodstock. We’ve never been there so I’m curious to see the area. It looks like the weather will be great, unlike here in RI where it’s currently like a monsoon. We may have to stop for some sales-tax free shopping on our way home Monday 🙂.

That’s what I’d call a happy accident! I’m not exactly sure what the initiation will be but I’m almost 100% certain it’ll take place in the Schooner Bar 😉🙂.

Sorry you’re in such pain. I hope you’re on the mend soon.

I saw your accommodation pics and wondered where you were. Beautiful way to greet the day! Those would be the mermaid Ariel’s seashells 😉.

Happy 4th of July 🇺🇸!! Hope everyone has a safe and enjoyable day.

Hmmmm. A Bella group summer gathering in RI??? Drivable for many here. Those that are wanting to visit NYC, it’s only a 2 hour train ride from here. Boston only an hour away.

Just a beautiful family John! Well said Bonnie. it looks great Larry! I love the blue accent walls. Y’all are lucky your grocery stores sell alcohol. No such luck here in RI, not even beer or wine. It’s a real PITA.

Dani, I have no words suitable for this. Just (( )), 🙏, 😢.

Got some snuggle time yesterday with this not so little guy. I can’t believe he’s almost a month old. He is such an easy baby, already sleeping a 5 hour stretch every night. My poor daughter was feeling extremely sick 2 weeks post birth, high fever etc. Turns out she had pneumonia, then at the follow up with her primary last week she found she has a double ear infection. Thank goodness Tyler’s such a good sleeper.

Thank you! The easier the better.

Ummmm, this blueberry cake looks amazing, especially that crunchy topping. Would you share the recipe?

@derorim adding my condolences for the loss of your sweet Marcel.

We had a very good first experience with them this trip. I’m an anxious flyer so sitting next to Andy is non negotiable. I’m also more comfortable with a window seat and a non-stop flight. I’m therefore not a fan of Southwest’s cattle call boarding and lack of non stops. I will gladly pay more to get these features, which both Jet Blue and Breeze offer. The downside is they have limited flights from PVD. I like that Breeze flies planes with a 3/2 configuration in economy so choosing seats on the “2” side gives me a window seat and Andy an aisle seat (instead of being stuck in the middle). I wouldn’t hesitate to book with them again.

On Thursday, I received a message from Breeze Airways warning of long waits at Orlando Airport for our flight home yesterday. They suggested arriving a minimum of 2 hours ahead or making an appointment with MCO Reserve for an assigned TSA time. It wasn’t available for our flight, I’m not sure if it’s based on your airline or departure time (8:15 pm for us) or what. So we made sure to arrive 2 hours prior to our flight and actually breezed (no pun intended) thru security in about 10 minutes.

This sounds like great fun Greg. Too bad we couldn’t do one on a Bella cruise.
