HAL4NOW

Thanks for assisting Jacqui during this busy time in her life. Correction: April 12, 2025 (not '15). Everything else looks good.

Hey, Jacqui, Hope all is going well with the move. Just a couple of typos in the listing for our cruise in April of 2025. Eurodam instead of Eutodam, and HAL4NOW instead of HAL4MOW. Plenty of time for corrections, and I really appreciate all you do, so thanks for everything.

Our power went out about nine last night from whatever this storm was; no estimation of when it will come back on; still listed as "cause under investigation".

So maybe Theophile is someone loved by chance rather than a person loved by God.

April 12, 2025 Eurodam 21-Day Panama Canal cruise

Each day when you post this, I wonder if you are reporting golf scores in your group or temperatures. I have to read on to find the context. If I joined your group, the high might well be higher than 93 🙂

@Cruising-along Carolyn, @Quartzsite Cruiser Lenda, @rafinmd Roy, Thanks to all three of you for thinking of me a few days ago. My DW and I are doing well, just haven't been on Cruise Critic much for a few months. No cruises scheduled for now, but we did get to stay at our condominium in Westport for a few weeks. The coast is beautiful and being there was nice, but it is also nice to be back in the mountains. We really do feel blessed to live and spend time in places that many people can only dream of visiting.

Jacqui, We have had to cancel the following: Eurodam - 13-Apr-24 - 21 day Panama Canal HAL4NOW - Thanks for all you do; hope all is well with you.

Thanks; Mohs was a great success and near the back of my neck. Getting someone else to shovel is not an option. At 67 I am one of the youth in our town. I did take it easy by only shoveling our driveway and walkways and the driveway and walkway across the street for an older single lady with major blood pressure issues. I usually shovel a few more locations. The alien flying saucer is just one of the neighbor’s propane tanks.

Meanwhile, just up the hill in Skykomish, we got about eight inches of snow. I had Mohs surgery on Tuesday morning this week and the surgeon told me no strenuous exercise for two weeks. I said I would like that but it all depended on how much snow we got. Here is a picture from our dining room this morning.

My DW and I visited Baie-Conrad September 5th on the Zaandam. The locals pronounced it “bay como”. We just did a walk about and really enjoyed our time there.

Sunrise from Westport Washington this morning.

When we were working on developing a trail near Skykomish, one of the USFS requirements for that trail development was to remove invasive/non-native plants. Two of the plants they were specifically concerned about: Forget-Me-Not and Stinky Bob.

Setting up a wake up call is really easy; just push a few buttons on the phone and then the phone becomes your alarm.

Since my name is Anthony (Tony) I was hoping to get to St. Anthony on our last cruise on the Zaandam but it was not to be. Here are the pictures I took from the ship.
