(TX dwellers) should all be ok. I hope everyone in her path comes through unscathed. I do wish we would get some rain, though- the cracks in the yard are horrible. Our yard is beginning to crack too. The prediction for Monday here according to the weather app is "Rainfall near an inch". That leaves a lot of wiggle room, just like predicting the path of Beryl.

Made ham for dinner and am marinating a pork roast for tomorrow. I’m watching Dr Pol and an ad came on that the series finale is tonight at 9. I’m recording it to watch tomorrow. Jake, that is sad news. I've enjoyed watching Dr. Pol including reruns. Lenda 10 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
luvteaching Posted July 6 #78 Share Posted July 6 Good afternoon, The sun is shining and we're in the low 80's which is pretty darn warm for this neck of the woods! DM came home yesterday, spent the night with my sisters last night and is back at her independent living apartment today. She called me earlier and didn't sound great but she was having bathroom "issues". She called me an hour or so ago and those have sorted out. It's amazing the curative powers of Imodium, Gatorade, raisin toast with extra crunchy peanut butter and, most importantly, her cup of tea can do! I'll check back on her in a few hours just to be sure. My big bag is packed and I'll get it in the car soon. My carry-on with jewelry, etc. is almost ready. It's keeping all the chargers straight as well! My friend going with me is so excited and I think it's starting to rub off on me. I'm hoping we'll be on the road for Seattle by 9:00 tomorrow morning and should be on the Westerdam by 11:30 or so if all goes well. Have a great Saturday!

I know you and your BFF will have a great cruise. 10 minutes ago, Crazy For Cats said: I’ve learned a lot over the years watching his show. So have I.

I think that's the standard model for hurricanes in the Gulf, and I bet it hangs on the wall next to their dart boards and maps for the regular weather predictions.

Rare erewhon Posted July 6 #83 Share Posted July 6 Good morning. @richwmn Thank you for posting the Holland America Line Fleet locations, and the opportunity for the daily news. Yesterday the All Blacks won their game of Rugby against England, accommodation in the the city was booked out, ........... thousands of visitors for the game. @kazu you have made a huge decision for yourself and Ivan, I hope that you will soon have a date for the surgery, and that your plans to move house go smoothly. You have lots of photos of your lovely garden to take with you. Will read all the posts later. 17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

DH doesn't understand why I watch - he grew up on a farm and says he's had his arm elbow deep in enough cows that he has no desire to see it on a large screen 🫣 Now we can watch Dr Pol's son Charles work on his farm - last I saw him, he was trying to learn how to drive his dad's 🚜 9 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Cruising-along Posted July 7 #90 Share Posted July 7 Good late afternoon Home again after watering DD's garden. I was happy to see that the deer and slugs hadn't done any more damage and everything looked better than I expected. I even was able to harvest a lot of lettuce for us. I guess the deer only like the veggies when they're brand new and tender. Remember early in the grand-kitties' visit Smudge turned off our internet? Well today she set off the home alarm. 😲 Actually it was probably my fault, I set the alarm to "away" when we left for DD's and shouldn't have. The camera picked up movement in the living room -- we got the alerts on our phones and a phone call soon after leaving home. Right as we said there are 2 cats in the house, she said "yes, I see a cat on the camera". So I need to remember not to set it while they're here! Or at least have the indoor cameras off. @SusieKIslandGirl What a beautiful quilt! And I love that you make them for a good cause. My Hydrangeas can do that too (pink and purple) it happens when I haven't put lime in the soil for awhile. I like the deep pink so have to add lime every so often. Joy @Seasick Sailor Thank you so much for all that info about Wrangell! Now I know what I want to do -- walk to the Petroglyph Beach State Park to see the ancient carvings. 15 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

tjcox9 Posted July 7 #92 Share Posted July 7 9 hours ago, Vict0riann said: Good morning, Dailyites! Roy, what is there to do in Wrangell? We are scheduled to be there next year on NA. We will have one of my California cousins with us, and a friend, who have never cruised, so I think I am in charge of organizing activities. Since it was recommended you ask me, I'll just say that I really have no idea. We've done so many AK cruises that we no longer really look for new wildlife or other things to explore. We just enjoy the scenery and the wildlife we can see from the ship. But, quite recently, a friend told me how much they loved a Bears of Anan tour out of Wrangell, don't know if it was a ship tour, what line (probably Princess) or independent. When I search for that, I found The Forestry site, as well as a number of sites that provide additional info and tours. It seems there are many opportunities to do that or any number of other activities based on my searches. Also, may want to check out the Alaska ports of call. We now just tend to like to wander around the small towns and see what there is to see. Also, best to you with your radiation treatment. I can understand your trepidation, and hope all goes well as mine did. 10 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
