I’m so sorry. Losing a being, animal or human, that is part of your family is excruciatingly painful. You gave Graycie a happy home, and she helped make yours happy. No better legacy than that!

The left walkway is theirs. The public one was built about six months ago on a public access strip that was inactive till then. To use that, our family would have to walk down their very long driveway, which is gated, and then walk up the long access path.

This posted weird. None of my post showed up but the two photos. The first one is the view from DD!’s deck, a week ago. The second is what the beach and end of the walkover look like now. They can’t use it. I akso posted a video which was the river looking back at my DS’s house from his dock, which is now mostly gone. IMG_9907.MOV

Y’all are kidding, aren’t you. I see WPB and read West Palm Beach!

We’re way cool in Florida!!

I’m way behind and trying to catch up, but want to say having a knee replacement and a hip replacement are totally different. (Except for the Hibiclens prep.) I had PT after both…hip was so less painful than the knee that I honestly don’t remember any pain. The knee would get inflamed or just overworked and be painful for at least six months , the only reminder of my hip surgery was the scar. By a year out, the knee felt like I was born with it, the hip felt that way by a month out. A bad hip can cause debilitating falls. In my case, it wasn’t falls, it was pain that decided me. So, Graham, if orthopedist recommends a replacement, I’d think seriously about doing it.

Royal Caribbean Gone Wild!! I wasn’t surprised to see Icon there.

Tomorrow I’ll catch up again. Today I’ve been busy and part has been trying to binge watch Amazing Race to catch up on it now that it’s moved to 9pm instead of 10! meanwhile, Happy Halloween from me and my DD’s cat Jasmine.

We both forgot we had gotten our flu shots till my bandaid came off on the shower and I mentioned it. no after effects at all!

Your patients will be heartbroken when you do retire. So hang on as long as you can do a great job for them, and you feel fulfilled by doing it.

I had to do a marathon read to catch up but it was worth every minute. Seeing pictures of drinks isn’t as good as drinking them, but they looked so good, I could almost taste them!

I love Grandpa Pickles. Happy to see them again and again.

Amazing!

And true colors. My underwater camera made everything look yellowish. I just realized…that one spot that looked like a splash, is that when it bit you?

Fantastic pictures. They’re the next best thing to being there. Aside from the beauty, the fact that we are looking at them centuries later and they look so beautiful and perfect is amazing!

it will be interesting to see the differences. It’s been a couple of decades since I sailed on NCL.

You have the only Harris Teeter in North Florida. Maybe in Florida, period. They left Jax more than 10 years ago. I miss them. I’m check the ethnic food aisle at Publix, but I’ve only seen Iberia in the past. Haven’t looked lately.

Whenever they are sure they’re safe, Boom!!

Where did you find guava juice? Publix has Iberia guava juice, but I want a glass full. I think they still have a guava juice drink, but that’s not the same.

What a range of emotions! Your not great hotel stirred up some bad memories, including a trip to the ER, then meeting Elaine and making something special out of her first solo cruise, a shore excursion that made it possible to remember and honor friends and loved ones, an extraordinary meal (for those of us who haven’t experienced it), ending with a lovely pair of then and now pictures! What a great review it’s been so far! But now you’ve planted Sweet Caroline in my head! Dang! Forgot to say Happy Anniversary!

I look forward to food that I don’t have to cook myself, so I’m checking out the complimentary restaurants. Two that are new to me are El Loco Fresh and Cantina Fresca. They are both complimentary and both serve Mexican food and they’re adjacent to each other? I hope someone can explain the difference between them!

I prefer to drive, but so does Dick He will let me drive only if we’re going downtown. I can’t nap when he drives because I don’t dare take my eyes off the road.

Just a little cold snap! They never last long!

Apropo of nothing, I wonder how many people know (or care) that you can smile in your passport photo. We had ours done at AAA yesterday because no charge as members. The photographer said she’d have to retake mine because I smiled. I said it would be fine. That a natural smile is ok. She said no, you can’t show your teeth. I thanked her and we left for the Post Office. The clerk at the Passport window said my photo needed to be retaken because my teeth were showing. I repeated that it’s ok. So she packed everything up and took my credit card. Got home and Dick said I was nuts to insist it was ok, when two people whose job entails passport applications tried to warn me. So he Googled it. Evidently the State Dept didn’t get the word out except on their website. I hope whoever processes our renewals has been told a natural smile that doesn’t change the face is acceptable. The website even has example photos!
