Haven't been to Mykonos, but the look lovely. @JazzyVthinking about you today @Cruzin Terrisorry you had to cancel your trip...you know what's best for you and DH. @ger_77sorry to hear about your DH...prayers his surgery is approved quickly. @grapau27Thinking of you as you remember your dear Mam today on her birthday. @marshhawkHoping your kitties are doing well @shadow 123Welcome! Have fun the rest of the day, especially those on cruises right now! Karen

Good evening, just stopping by to say I'm saying prayers for @JazzyVMay your surgery go well tomorrow, and may your pain be gone! Karen

Can't wait to hear of your fun travels! Bon voyage!

Have a wonderful time!

Good morning. The sun is shining and it's in the 40's here. It rained much of yesterday and our grass will need to be cut very soon. Several neighbors have already started. Thanks for the info. Diaphragmatic hernias are very serious, usually diagnosed with a prenatal ultrasound. Haven't been to the port. The meal today looks good! I'd also substitute riced cauliflower. @kazuSo glad you're able to go on your cruise...enjoy! @RMLincolnthinking of you and your family during these difficult days. @JazzyVthinking of you as you get ready for surgery...prayers it all goes well! @marshhawkthinking of you...hoping all is well, and that your grand kitties are doing well. My 2 nieces love cats, and both are fostering some now. One has had many, and they just got 4 one month old cuties. They just got one adopted...she was scared and very un-social when they got her, but their love helped her to bloom and find a new home. Niece # 2 just got a foster from a hoarding situation...they got him yesterday, and he was very scared...a few hours later he was exploring and looking for some loving! @smitty34877thinking good thoughts for you and your family, hoping Tana is stable. Not much going on here today, we're laying low for a few days with Cooper. He had some teeth extracted yesterday. He seems to be doing ok today. He's had some scrambled eggs and unsalted chicken broth. He's not the best eater, so finding soft food he'll eat will be interesting. Have a good day, and a great weekend! Karen Here's a picture of Cooper!

Good afternoon from a cooler, windy day in SE Wisconsin. It rained a lot last night and this morning, but we didn't get the storms that some in the midwest got. Thanks for the port pictures today, looks like a beautiful place to visit. I tried to grow rhubarb, it died out after a few years...usually you can't kill rhubarb! Today was my Reading Buddy day, my Kindergarten friend was trying to figure out the word "said." I told him what it was, he said "it would make more sense for it to be an "e" not "ai"!" I agreed with him! @marshhawkcongrats on being a kitty gramma! Have fun watching them grow. Sorry to hear about your fall, feel better soon. @kazuSorry to hear about your foot issues, hoping it gets better and you can take your cruise. @grapau27Warm thoughts for you and Pauline as you remember her Mam's birthday. Hoping Sarah feels better soon. @JazzyVI'm sure you are counting down the days till your surgery...prayers it all goes well. @ger_77Sounds like you had a nice visit with your dear Grands! Sorry to hear about the loss of your friends. @LambKnucklesGood to hear you are feeling a little better! Blessings on the rest of your day, hugs and good thoughts for all who need them, and cheers for the rest! Karen

Thanks for sharing! The "trash to treasure" artwork and the cassette tape pictures were on my "favorite" list!

@JazzyVThanks for the tip about the rye flour. I have read that it helps, but DH might think I'm "crazy" if I buy anything else!! It does seem to be rising today...it's in the microwave with the light on! We'll see what happens!

Good morning, its around 60 here and sunny again! We haven't been to the port, but the pictures look nice. I'm not sure about the meal, I like beets, but have never had the greens. ASL is very important, when I worked in health care, we had interpreters we could call on. It was amazing watching how they "spoke" with the patients. Watching their facial expressions was also very interesting. I haven't been to McDonalds in a while, their fries are the best though! I did have a shamrock shake in March! 😉 Our children's hospital has a Ronald House next to it...a very nice place for the families that need it. A few years ago, our basket weaving group made some donations for their fundraising event. A sad day remembering the Titanic. A good day to remember Jackie Robinson. I'm experimenting with sourdough starter here. Yesterday was a warm day and it looked much more active in the warmer house temp. I'm thinking summer would be a better time to start the process. I read advice to put it in the oven or microwave with a light on. Our oven didn't get any warmer, but the microwave did...I may have to leave it in there! I think I'm on day 8 now...we shall see! I'm wondering how the pioneer women did this whole process!? Thanks for all of the caring and sharing here. @LambKnucklesI hope you get some answers at the Dr. today. @JazzyVthanks for all of your list keeping...hoping your surgery will help your pain...sleep will be great for you! @StLouisCruisersI'm really enjoying the photos of your DD's seasonal tree! @grapau27your sure have a beautiful place to enjoy nature and the scenery! Blessings on your day! Karen

Good afternoon from a very nice day in SE Wisconsin. A cold front is supposed to come through later...better get my walk done soon. The soup looks good, not a wine drinker and haven't been to Japan. Sorry to hear about the crew on the Rotterdam...prayers for the rest of the crew and their families. @cruising sisterSorry to hear that Murphy was in the hospital @Denise Tsorry to hear about your difficult neighbor, too bad the police can't help you. Our neighbors house is for sale, hopefully we get neighbors that are as nice as them! @LAFFNVEGASBon Voyage, enjoy your cruise! Thanks to all who share and care here, blessings on the rest of your day! Karen

So sorry for your loss, may good memories bring you peace.

Good afternoon from a very windy day in Wisconsin. Not 231mph, but it is windy. Just had a 30 second big downpour, now I'm afraid to go for my walk. We've been to Cozumel many times to stay on the island. We always enjoyed it because the beach was so calm compared to other warm destinations. The last several years we've cruised instead of the land trip. We did cruise to Cozumel on our our our trips, it looked so different after covid shutdowns. I feel for street children and their families... No thanks on the lentil meal! Blessings on your day, and have a great weekend, Karen

Good afternoon, it's in the 50's here with rain in the forecast...I want to get in my walk, but I don't want to get wet😏 Not sure about the meal, and we haven't been to the port. We were to Petra, from yesterday, but I didn't get to post! @Cruzin Terrigood to hear a good report from the dr. @Nickelpennyyour shadow box for Martina is beautiful @smitty34877good to hear that Tana is a little better. Hoping everyone gets some good sleep at your house. I'm enjoying all of the Pet pictures today! Here is Cooper. He just had his 12th birthday! 🎂 Blessings on the rest of your day, karen

Good afternoon. It's sunny and 60 here today. Yesterday was perfect for viewing the eclipse. We had about 90% coverage and it was amazing to watch with my library glasses. They're collecting them back to send to Latin America schools so the children can see the eclipse there next year. I sat with some church friends in their driveway. It didn't seem like it got dark, but people inside said it did. We did notice a drop in the temperature, though. Our 1st cruise was on the Westerdam to Alaska in 2019. We did the land and sea tour! That was amazing. We saw a lot while we were in Denali. We saw a Momma moose with twins just at the entrance to the park, a big grizzly munching in a field, a "nursery" of sheep up on a hill, and then saw their dog sled program. That was a very fun 3 days! We did see the mountain peak from afar, but when we reached the end of the road, the top was in the clouds. Have a good evening, I've been gone all day, and have to leave again shortly for bell choir practice. Hugs to @luvteaching and all the rest that need them. @marshhawkIt sure sounds like your DH and you could use a break...the idea of continuous cruising sounds great!

Happy Monday! It's supposed to get to the 60's this afternoon. The weather peeps are very excited this morning...it's sunny and forecasted to stay that way for the eclipse. We're in the 80-90% coverage area. My glasses are ready! Thanks for the pictures and recipes today. I'm not a big artichoke fan, so will pass. Happy Birthday to @StLouisCruisers and your twin! Happy anniversary to @erewhon and @Overhead Fred @rafinmdPrayers your Dr. apt. goes well today. Prayers for all who need them and cheers for the celebrations. Karen
