.... and that's the whole aim / purpose/ point of this thread 🥰

 

And you know, I kind of feel unsettled and start wondering if all is well when our regular posters do not post for some time. ❤️
In a funny sense, I have become BFFs with everyones dads, moms, hair dressers, dogs, cats, knees, backs, building contractors, in laws, neighbors, bikini wearing amish neighbors, .......any one/thing left out?😊❤️ I am blessed.

I ignored mushy peas on my plate in restaurants for years. Then a couple of years ago I was too hungry and ate them. 
I really liked them! Now I regret the opportunities missed. 

I actually like Marrowfat peas.

The smell of garden peas makes me feel sick.

I just don't like the look of mushy peas.

LOL! I laughed so hard when Sunshine asked if they wore bikinis on the beach. And now whenever I see one around, Sunshine's question will always be on my mind.😊

We decided to finish the day at the beach with an ice cream and a coffee/hot chocolate.

I went to my favorite used book store to swap a couple of books

 

If any of the books you picked up were by Dean Koontz, there is a pretty good chance they were mine at one point.

Just back from a very successful day of hunting 😉

My DH puts his initials on the front page after he reads a book. Twice now he’s been interested in a book in the used book store near us, and found “DG”

on the front page.

I don't like mushy or garden peas and always ask for beans instead 

Reminds me of baby food. 🤢

“Pea purée” would sound more appetizing!

No! That is what they serve on board - not the same!

That comes out the wrong side.

You see it?

 

 

Some one is enjoying the new sun shade. 
 

 

She’s enjoying the view of the world. She likes watching the cover open/close but she did not get up today to watch it close today. She’s getting lazy.

That makes me think of "Poo Pourri" 🤪

That was strange.  I could log into the main CC website...but not on the boards.  Emailed CC help, and they were very quick to respond.  🙂   Either they did something that helped, or it was a ghost in the machine that just fixed itself.  

 

Back "on board" again.  😉  Thanks CC for the help!

Speaking of relatives,

Three weeks before our wedding, Dave’s brother and SIL decided 3.5 hours was too far to go for a “punch and cake” wedding.  Of course, he was one of the groomsmen.  I had to scramble.  My sister’s husband stepped in and did it.  It was a great shame since this was the last time all 4 brothers would have been together, the oldest died the next year.  I felt sorry for Dave and his mom.  I had trouble being polite to them, but bit my tongue for years.  
 

Punch and cake wedding receptions were very common in our town.  I couldn’t justify my parents spending their money on anything else.  We never had much, but I sure learned to budget.  Maybe that’s why we enjoy cruising so much.

Sounds like it will be a Wonderful Day for Everyone!

 

Are our invitations coming via email or snail mail - LOL!

 

Snail mail, and one was totally trashed. so when someone comes to the wedding reception and does not see their name on the table assignment board we have a place of honor for them.

The venue is attached to a Hilton.

They have facility security, but will not cover a wedding party.  Some legal mumbo jumbo.

 

So we pay a local cop on the side, for his services.

 

We actually did this 30 years ago for our wedding.

 

Guess we live in an untrusting state.

 

Safety first.

Sometimes I have to sign in two days in a row. Other times it’s weeks in between.

Speaking of beer --

 

1951, my mother was told to drink beer, since she didn't have enough milk.

 

I constantly refused to "drink" and was crying myself out....

 

My aunt, who was a single pediatrician and made me her pet project, decided to taste the milk.

 

It was bitter....

 

To this day, I don't drink milk.
