  1. Good morning everyone from sunny, mild Boston.  Our temps got up to 80F yesterday so I’m sure the plant life is going bonkers today, the pollen has already made an appearance on our windows.  Thanks for the daily report, recipes and lists.  Probably won’t be recognizing cosmos or Sauvignon Blanc but I learned something new with cystinosis awareness.  I like the lyrics to Imagine.  I remember listening to the song as I fell asleep during my Sophomore year at college the night before John Lennon was shot. The song has stuck with me in a melancholy way ever since.  The meal and drink suggestions sound quite tasty especially with the everything bagel seasoning.  I have not been to today’s port.  Prayers for those folks on our prayer list, I hope the meds work on @kazu’s foot to help ease her discomfort and worry.  Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events today!

  2. Good morning from a sunny 53F Boston.  Thanks for the daily report and thanks to @StLouisCruisers for maintaining it in while @kazu was traveling.  I’ll gladly celebrate no diet day although I should for our upcoming Volendam cruise.  I like Plato’s quote very much.  I’ll pass on the meal but would say yes to the drink.  Bar Harbor is a lovely place, we’ve been there on both land vacations and by ship once.  We’re scheduled to visit next month on our cruise.  Prayers for everyone on today’s prayer list.  Cheers to those celebrating happy events today!

  3. Good morning everyone.  It’s cloudy and cool here this morning.  What an interesting collection of days to recognize.  I wasn’t aware that children had strokes so that will be my research this afternoon.  I like the quote very much.  I guess we’ll have to wing it on dinner today, taco salad perhaps in honor of Cinco de Mayo.  I’d substitute a margarita for the drink today.  Prayers for those who are in need today.  Cheers to those celebrating happy events.  Welcome home @kazu I’m sure that Ivan is one happy dog this morning.

  4. Good morning from a beautiful and sunny Boston.  I can’t believe that it’s already the Kentucky Derby.  I applaud firefighters for their bravery and work that they do to keep us safe.  I also applaud chickens who I find endlessly entertaining to watch.  Interesting quote to think about.  The meal suggestion sounds delicious as does the drink.  I haven’t been to today’s port.  Prayers for those on our prayer list.  Cheers to those of you celebrating happy events today!

  5. Good morning everyone.  Thanks for the daily report, recipes and lists.  Not sure what lumpy rug day may be but I have been guilty of wearing two different shoes and I don’t think I’d go around celebrating it.  The Harry Potter excerpt is true.  We were in today’s port last fall and visited the Mucem which was fascinating, I’ll attach some photos.  I’m not going to argue about carrot cake for our meal suggestion, it’s my favorite.  Prayers for those on our prayer list.  Happy _______ to those of you celebrating today!

     

    Some photos from our visit to Mucem, the cathedral and the basilica Notre-Dame de la Garde.

  6. Good morning everyone.  Thanks for the daily updates.  Three interesting days to recognize.  The business fraternity that I belonged to in college followed Robert’s Rules of Order during our monthly meetings, very complicated and structured.  Not sure why we needed to learn them because I never went to one business meeting in my career where they were used.  The meal sounds promising but I’ll pass on the drink.  I haven’t been to today’s port.  Praying for those on our prayer list.  Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events!

  7. 🐇🐇🐇. Good morning everyone.  It’s gray and cool here today. A nice collection of days to choose from.  I like the quote.  I also like the meal and drink suggestions.  We visited today’s port in 2018 and enjoyed it very much.  We rented a car and visited Mendenhall Glacier and the drove to the Shrine of St. Thérèse where we watched whales swimming in the channel.  Praying for those on our prayer list.  Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events. 🍾

  8. Good morning everyone.  I woke up to thunder and rain this morning.  Thanks for the daily report, recipes and lists.  Three worthy days to recognize, I’m going to have Bugs  Bunny in my head all day, maybe it will remind me to say rabbit rabbit tomorrow.  I like the quote, I hope that it’s true for you too.  I’ll pass on the meal suggestion but the drink sounds good.  Praying for those on our prayer list.  Cheers to those of you who are celebrating happy events today!  Happy anniversary @lobsternight🥂

  9. Good morning everyone from a mild and mostly sunny Boston.  Thanks for our daily digest with three nice days to recognize.  I mean, where would we be without zippers?  While I like the quote not all our friends possess those abilities and they care no less than those who do.  The meal sounds like a delicious side dish.  I would definitely like the drink.  I haven’t been to today’s port.  Praying for those on our prayer list.  Happy ________ to those of you celebrating today!

  10. Good morning everyone from beautiful, sunny Ogunquit Maine.  Thanks for the daily dose of knowledge that we’re richer for.  I’ll celebrate devil dog cakes and teaching children to save.  Love Helen Keller’s quote and she’s right.  Think the meal and drink will get a pass from me today.  I haven’t been to today’s port.  Prayers for those on our prayer list.  Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events today!

  11. Good morning from a sunny and chilly (38F) Boston.  Thanks for the daily report, I’ll gladly celebrate Audubon Day and will hug an Australian if I run across one.  I had a chuckle at the quote.  Think I’ll pass on the meal suggestion and a maybe on the drink.  We’re heading to a fundraiser in York, ME for the weekend while the broker hosts open houses here this weekend.  Prayers for those who need them.  Cheers to everyone celebrating happy events today.  Happy birthday to @dfish and safe travels to visit with your friends in Ohio!

  12. Good evening everyone.  Thanks for the for the daily updates.  I’m late today for good reason.  The photographer came this afternoon to photograph our condo as it gets listed tomorrow with open houses over the weekend. 😬 I’ll gladly celebrate hairstylists who keep us looking our best.  I like today’s quote although I had to think about it a bit.  The meal sounds very nice but I think I wouldn’t like the drink.  We were in today’s port on the Oosterdam last October, I’ll try and attach a photo of the ship from Thira.  Prayers for everyone on our prayer list.  Happy ______ to those celebrating today!

  14. Good morning everyone.  Thanks for the daily updates.  Three good days to celebrate, I wish we had some English Muffins to enjoy this morning.  Interesting quote from the letter that Wilde wrote while imprisoned.  The meal suggestion sounds delicious but I wouldn’t like the drink. I haven’t been to today’s port, thanks for sharing your beautiful photos.  Prayers for all on our prayer list.  I hope that @JazzyV is doing well after her surgery yesterday.  Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events and birthday wishes to @cunnorl and @marshhawk! 🎉🎂🥂

  15. Good morning everyone from a beautifully sunny, cool Boston.  Thank you for the daily updates.  A very nice day to celebrate Earth Day here.  I like the quote.  The meal suggestion would make a delicious side dish to many entrees.  Not sure about the drink.  We stopped in today’s port but due to the crowds we stayed on the ship.  Prayers for those on our prayer list and especially for @JazzyV in hopes that she has a successful surgery and a quick recovery.  Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events!

  16. Good morning everyone.  A nice morning here, the birds seem pleased with it.  Thanks for the daily report, recipes and lists.  I’ll try and research the industrial uses of hemp.  Yum, chocolate covered cashews.  I remember milk, graham crackers and naps from Kindergarten.  Funny quote.  I think the meal and drink suggestions sound delicious.  We were in today’s port on a bird watching excursion sixteen years ago.  Prayers for those on our prayer list.  Cheers to those of you, and there are many, who are celebrating happy events today! 🍾🎉🛳️👋

  17. Good morning everyone from a rainy, cool Boston.  Good timing on the rain, now I don’t have to water the flowers that I planted on the roof deck yesterday afternoon.  Another day of getting ready for next weekend’s showing.  Thanks for the daily updates.  Probably won’t be celebrating the days today.  I like the quote but it’s a little melancholy for me today.  I need to keep going on my projects, sort of reminds me my old job.  The meal and drink suggestions sound tasty.  I haven’t been to today’s port.  Prayers for those on our prayer list.  Cheers to those celebrating happy events today!

  18. Good morning and happy Friday to you all.  It’s cool and cloudy here, perfect day for some of the minor repairs that I have planned.  The movers came and went yesterday putting over 60 boxes of clutter into storage with no marks on the newly painted walls.  
     

    Thanks for the daily report, recipes and lists, I didn’t know that that congenital diaphragmatic hernia was a thing, it sounds serious.  Hats off to John Parker and garlic!  I like the quote but why do you have to “do” anything? One or the other will happen naturally anyway.  I think I’ll pass on the meal and drink.  I haven’t been to today’s port.  Prayers for those on our prayer list.  Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events today!  Bon voyage and safe, comfortable travels to @kazu who has been cleared for takeoff! 🚖✈️🛳️

  19. Good morning everyone.  Thanks for the daily updates.  Three nice days to celebrate,  linemen are crucial after a storm for sure.  The quote is funny, nice to have a little humor on this dreary day.  The meal and drink suggestions sound pretty tasty.  I haven’t been to today’s port but I am enjoying the photos.  Prayers for those on our prayer list and those that need them.  Cheers to everyone celebrating happy events and happy birthday to @sailingdutchy’s DW Martha!🥂🍾🎉

  20. Good morning everyone.  Another beautiful morning here, 46F and sunny at the moment.  Thanks for our daily digest.  A nice variety of days to ponder, I’ll focus on Ellis Island as some of my ancestors arrived there from Poland.  We did the hospital tour there which was eerily fantastic, it was the largest hospital in the US back in the day.  Interesting quote.  I’ll pass on both the meal and the drink, I don’t like cooked rhubarb but I like it fresh picked.  We were in today’s port in September, it was beautiful but packed to the gills with tourists like me.  Prayers for those on our prayer list and for @kazu, I hope your foot gets better.  Cheers to those who are celebrating happy events today!
