Royal Caribbean Cruisers -- How Are Things Where You Are? (was "Routine" ​ 😁 ​day in lockdown... how was yours?)

[Ozark_Kid]

For our Christmas gift my daughter and SIL treated us and his parents to a night out in Memphis last night! 

 

 

Having problems with CC,  so I will try breaking up the post.  Please excuse multiple post.

Going to hunt for some Figgy Pudding today.

Had an incredible urge for one looking at all the Christmas lights last night.

I still cry over a dog that passed away probably more than 15 years ago.  She was the best.  In the end she was blind and diabetic maybe that's why it still tugs at my heartstrings just thinking about her

So I debated whether to post this as people might think me odd... When I lost my dog I had her cremated. She is in the curio in the family room. Someday when I go she is coming with me.

I love sharing life's experiences in here, even vacuum cleaners.😁

Since you and Deb are going with Shark, I might think about that when we have to replace our Oreck.  On second thought, we're in a small apt. now so we probably will replace with a much lighter model.  Only carpet is in the bedroom plus one area rug.  We've downsized as low as we can go. 

Our Shark did not last too long,however,we replaced it with another Shark.

We ate at Huey’s.

The onion rings are huge.

 

Then we went to see A. J. Croce, son of Jim Croce.

Not odd at all.  I have my mom and her 6 cats (from over the years) in the garage. When Bobby goes, he will be the last. She wanted to be distributed with all of her cats.

Random pics on the way to the car.

 

 

This is the Pyramid by the bridge that Bass Pro took over.

 

We had a rough 2 hour ride home.  The wind gust seemed stronger than the reported 28 mph gust. Semi trailers kept getting blown into the other lane.  We had to pass two semi’s with double trailers.  The rain was blinding at times.  The cool thing was the lightning light show!

A.J.Croce’s late mother was also an accomplished singer.

Have you ever had the experience if viewing a lightening show at sea? So beautiful sitting on a balcony with a glass of wine.

How did your area do with the storms/tornadoes?

I hope all is well.

Horrible to see the devastation in Kentucky.      The storm is headed east and is to hit our area this evening.     We just took down our wreath, christmas santa flag and secured some other Christmas decorations as the wind is starting to pick up here.     

Take care and stay safe Debbie.

We saw a fantastic lightening show as well as eruptions when sailing past Stromboli.

Not odd at all.  Bosley will be cremated and brought home.  
Molly, you understand.

Parts of the storm moved through our area.  We were out walking, and got caught in a heavy downpour.   At least the rain is through our area, but we are still getting wind gusts up to 50 mph.  A few big branches came down in the yard, but that was it for us.  Looks like more cleanup will be on my agenda.

My daughters bought this for me when I retired, specifically because of the day of week in big letters across the top.  I use it practically daily, and not to see what time it is.

I like the Roomba.  It vacuums while I read the newspaper.  It may not do that great of a job, but it is a lot more dedicated to vacuuming and covers a lot more area than I would. 

 

I pick up the entryway rugs, the cat toys and close off the rooms that don't need vacuuming. Push the button, and say,,.. "Go forth and vacuum"  And Roomba cleans. 

 

I keep a Roomba (aka "Wally") in the "cat room,"  which is a large room over the garage.  It's three steps lower than our 2nd floor bedrooms, so Wally can't get to any other room on his own.  Each day after I clean the cat litter box I press the button on Wally and he vacuums in there.  

 

Not long ago I got "Mopsy," Roomba's cousin.  She wet mops the hardwood in the rooms I tell her to do.  The entire downstairs is mapped in the iRobot app, and I can use Alexa to tell Mopsy to clean the kitchen, the hallway, or everywhere.  She knows where the carpet and rugs are, and stays on the hardwood.
