Circle Hawaii in March San Diego to San Diego made a stop in Ensenada Mexico. Service call passengers stayed on board. 

Re olden days pressure cooker.  As teens my husband and his brother decided to cook peas when mom and dad were out. . Had a nap, needless to say the room had to be repainted and oh boy were they grounded. 

Correction.  Circle Hawaii 2018, 2019 & 2020.  

Have done circle Hawaii in 98,99,20. Once from Vancouver the last two from San Diego. On the eurodam. Would do it again in a heart beat. Lots of to do’s going with Hawaiian activities. . 

Sorry they rejected my password. 

After using the same password for 12 years Holland America reflected  it.  I questioned that and the reply instructed me how to change my password.  What’s up.

Coincidence, already defrosting the chicken for my stir fry.  

Re Horton Plaza.  Last March only Macy’s open. 2020.   Previously got some great bargains.  . 

Sorry. 13 years. 

We loved St George’s pub. Ate their on St. George’s Day.  
changing the subject. I’ve had the same password with HAL for 13 hrs.  Now they won’t accept it.  

Grew up wearing plimsoles. Aka tennis shoes.  

Not everyone has a cell phone. 

Just contacted my cousin who lived with us during the 2nd world war in England and she said if you said “white rabbit” three times before getting out of bed you would get a surprise or present that day. 

Also the little punches made great confetti at weddings. Don’t tell moms boss. 

Oh yeah. Punch cards.  Mom worked for the weather office in Toronto now called environment Canada. The weather and forecasts were installed on IBM COMPUTER PUNCH CARDS. BACK IN THE ‘50s. 

Quilts ?  I made one and hand embroidered it. Double bed size. By the timeit was finished we had graduated through queen  to king bed. It spent 45 years in the cedar chest. Still have it. 

Squirrels?  What about skunks.  I open the blinds in the am and often see them running across the lawn. I live in the city. One time my son yelled he had been squirted we yelled strip down then come in. Oh yeah, he stripped but after he came in the basement door.  Was not channel perfume. 

Where do you find your patterns.  Haven’t done that in years.

Good morning (barely) all!  Late to the party today, we had no power for 4 hours this morning and intermittently during the night.  I spent a good part of the morning wondering where my next cup of coffee would come from. 😂  My wonderful DH was just about to go in search for a cup (and he doesn't drink coffee, what a guy!) and the power came back on.  😄  It would have been quite a search, as there were power outages all over the western part of the state.

 

Since then I hurried to bake the cookies I plan to take today to the grandsons.  It's pretty amazing when you stop and think how much we rely on electricity.  We have a tankless hot water heater so no showers, no heat (and the gas fireplace wouldn't work because the switch relies on electricity).  And most importantly, the coffee maker!!  😉  

 

I'm so  happy to see so many getting their first vaccines!  Also heard about a new one that Johnson & Johnson plans to roll out that would require only 1 jab, not 2.  

Love my generater

Too bad the sterling silver 200 years old tea pot tarnished so badly.  

Do NOT make bubbles (soap kind) in the suite jacuzzi.   Speaking from experience.   

We respect each other’s believes 

No. If they are there they keep to them selfs.

Good morning, thanks for the Daily!  I guess I'm a traditionalist (or maybe just a Catholic), because for us Epiphany was always January 6th.  However, I can be swayed . . . LOL

 

We had the occasion to have our luggage travel without us on our very first Mediterranean cruise - we boarded the Prinsendam in Athens, and our luggage didn't reach us until the 3rd day when we were in Istanbul.  At that time we were cruising newbies and our carry-ons only contained a few magazines, some make-up (for moi), and blow-up pillows.  (*cringe*)   I was never so happy to see my suitcases as when we returned from our shore excursion and discovered them waiting on the pier for us.  I literally went over and kissed each piece!

 

The menu suggestions - hmm, neither of us appreciates acorn squash, so will pass on that, and although I love lamb, DH isn't a fan, so will have to dive head first into the "ice cave" to see what I can pull out for dinner tonight.  I know there's frozen Russian borscht in there, and it's the kind of day for making buns, so I'm pretty sure that's going to be our dinner this evening.  And wine.

 

Prayers for everyone who needs them, and even for those who don't think they do.  We'll raise our wine glasses tonight to toast all who make this daily thread a great place to visit!  Be well, stay safe, wash your hands and wear your mask.

 

Smooth Sailing!  🙂🙂🙂

The days are getting longer so summer is on its way! (Pay no attention to those folks ice fishing on the lake)

 

@Seasick Sailor - If we lived closer, our son would probably offer to give Sophie a home.

 

I am enjoying my new toy. I have "The New Classical FM 96.3" streaming on the Amazon Echo now. That is the Toronto station we always listen to when we are at our cottage. Since we missed the lake for 2020, it is a comfort to hear some familiar voices! Now all I need is to hear a Rona or Canadian Tire commercial or two, eh!
