I have my pilots license, but I was a flight attendant with them. I got it when I was an FA.

 

 

Too many horrendously tragic memories associated with it.

Thank you OB. You are going to make me start crying again. I thought I had managed to stop. That is a wonderful sentiment and a beautiful picture. Thank you.

After boating, the other two grandkids were here for a little sprinkler time. 
 

 

Supper tonight Ribs, corn, and macaroni salad.  (I can’t believe the 8 YO and 6 YO grandkids put away two of these slabs of ribs)

 

 

Strawberry cheesecake for desert. 
 

 

And if that wasn’t enough, a campfire with s’mores

 

 

And a game of soccer to wear off the food. 
 

 

 

Looks like a great day for all. 

Food looks delicious, especially the strawberry cheesecake.  My favorite

Are the massive amounts of carp still a thing? 

When we go there we try to have some fun with the carp.

 

We start drying out old hamburger/hot dog buns for weeks in brown bags.

 

When we go we throw a hole bag of buns, not the bag in the spillage area, watch the carp push it around until the water softens it.  It is like watching a game on TV where all are trying to get a hold of the ball, aka bun.

 

Not torture, they eventually eat, but fun.

 

Stay safe.

George, what did you do in St Thomas?

My wife Shelagh loves shopping in St Thomas, bought a little jewelry, then went to a Italian restaurant for a nice lunch.

And one of the inherited cats is gone. We had to have Grey Kitty put to sleep yesterday. He only had one eye, because the other cat had whacked him years ago. In addition to the renal failure and hyperthyroidism that we had been treating with IV fluids and pills...he apparently went blind in his remaining eye on Friday evening. The vet said probably from the kidney disease or high blood pressure. It was very sad. 

 

 

So sorry about Grey Kitty. Rest assured that he is now pain free and in a better place.

My heart breaks for you as I'm still grieving the loss of my beloved Penny. Cherish the memories you had and keep Grey Kitty always in your heart.

Oh believe me, I WANT to love it.  I should correct my statement- I’m really only fearful before the flight and takeoff is the worst for me.  Once we’re up, I’m fine. 
 

That’s the best part for me is the take off and landing.

Great story, glad to hear the cheese wheel made it to your neighbor.  I thought for sure you were going to say everyone wanted to try the cheese while drinking on the plane.

No way, nothing was getting between me and my cheese wheel! They all thought it was funny with all the people looking.

Take off and landing are the best. And if there is a bit of turbulence on the way even better just as long as they don't interfer with when I need to use the lavatory.🤨

It's also difficult when you're IN the lavatory being "busy" and you encounter extreme turbulence.

Everyone is wishing England good luck on Sunday, it appears it is a long time coming 🤞 🤞

Thanks Dani, it has been a long since we reached the finals of a major tournament.  Last time was 1966.

Very sad and sorry to hear your cat had to be put down.

Had to laugh at this.  Trying to pee during turbulence is a challenge 😉

I still get teary when I think of my little girl I had to put down 8 years ago. Losing a pet is so hard😢

[grapau27]

70°F and sunny.

We have been to another beach 20 minutes drive from home.

We had a good walk along the promenade and had a carton of chips each.

Nice sunny sea day on the Edge, will have breakfast at suite restaurant Luminae then go to pool in the retreat , tiny pool that has a occupancy rate of 9 , but normally double that is in the pool . Might enter the Texas Holdem game , extremely high stakes. Also want to try the magic carpet , lots of music options all afternoon and evening.
