Lindt is the best and most popular of the superb Swiss chocolate brands.

Toblerone are another fabulous brand.

It is starting to look like a kitchen again.  Just a little more crown molding, cabinet staining and counter tops.  Then I need to scrub every surface in the house.  Lol

 

 

Looking great!  We want that exact style of refrigerator with adjustable temp middle drawer, but with the ice maker in the freezer section to avoid issues with it being located in the higher temp fridge section.  We can't find anyone who makes that. 

 

Depending on how much dust was generated, you might also consider getting your air ducts cleaned.  Made a big difference for us after our kitchen remodel in Ohio.

I so appreciate your thoughtfulness. However, I kind of keep my collection to ships that I've been on. Thanks so much again for your offer. I don't want to seem ungrateful.

Just getting caught up on this thread. That’s what I thought you had said before, but I wasn’t 100% sure. See you in 2 days.

Someone is having a birthday today. Jade is two years old.

 

 

That was a fast 2 years. Happy birthday to such a beautiful kitty. Has she gotten any better about going into the carrier or is it still all out war?

It is a challenge and I have the battle scars to prove it.

Thank you ! I wish I could say I am getting better sleeps but I’m not. Horrible restless leg syndrome at night that consists of a dull ache and heavy tired feeling in my leg muscles. Very frustrating.

I have dealt with symptoms of intermittent RLS for over 20 years and finally became more frequent 5 years ago to the point I needed help. At first just walking the stairs….up and down about 10 times seemed to help. (Yup at 11pm some nights). 
 

After meeting with my Dr. I was started on the lowest dose of Ropinirole at bedtime. 
Now I am still on the lowest dose but I with his advice take it three times a day.  
 

90% of the time I sleep without the restless legs.  The other times I am fighting the dreaded ache, feeling of muscles moving——  ( there not moving ), to the point I still have to get out of bed and walk. 
 

In five years the dose has stayed the same but it increase from one to three times a day. 
 

I have a lot of room for adjustment if down the road it is necessary. 
 

It works for me. 
 

The cause—— Wish someone would know. 
It just afflicts some people and I am a “some”. 
The only injury I had was on a 25 mile bike run and fell off the bike on left leg and that was over 30 years ago. Still unknown if that could have precipitated RLS. 
 

Talk to your doctor and see if it is right for you?  
 

Be safe.

Thank Sue. Great advice. I will talk to my doctor about it. Mine seems to also be caused because I am working and stretching my quadriceps in therapy 3 times a week and those muscles are fatigued and sore from their workout. I’m also very tight and my doctor suggested I consider going to a place like stretch lab where they can manipulate my legs.

Thank you for the suggestion.  I will add it to the list.  We have finished Griselda and started American Nightmare.

You saw it here first! Well, maybe. I booked an extra cruise just so we would have the right number of points to get this. 😁 We also had it signed by Captain Loy.

Yes I wish the media would leave them alone. But I am very happy for them. Great love story.

That is until they break up and she writes a song about him.

It's currently in the movie theaters. I saw it last week.  Pure over-the-top action, which I enjoy. The kind of movie where you just want to have fun & not think too much, Not everybody's cup of tea but it is mine.

Our ship has come in. She looks lovely in the Sdyney harbor.

Mine three...especially if I'm by myself.  One of the advantages of traveling internationally while working was that could watch a lot of movies on a plane.  That was my time to catch up on "guy flicks" while Micheline was at home catching up on "chick flicks".

I first thought this was a map of the world showing where the beer comes from.  I couldn't figure out why they had Carib near Northern Canada. 🤣
