And let's not forget Cousin Eddy! We take all of our out of town visitors there as well. Seeing the black X on the exact spot on the road where JFK was shot is always chilling.

Nov. 22, 1963. I was taking a history exam when the news came over the loudspeaker. We were shell shocked and our teacher made us finish the exam. We all hated him for that. Funeral was Nov. 25. What a sad time for our country Constant prayers for your daughter.

Oh I agree but I don't voice that opinion loudly where I live. 🤐 I meant soft drinks. I know nothing about beer.

Dr. Pepper is the state drink of Texas.

Thanks. I have to look into that.

What a coincidence. I just watched My Cousin Vinny last night for the bajillionth time and I always laugh out loud.

And here I thought "youz" was a NY thing. Like @LuckynanaMaryann, I'm a Pepsi girl. I love when we're out, and I order a diet Coke, the server asks "is diet Pepsi ok"? I just assume every place offers only diet coke.

Thanks, Ken. We "what's app" all the time. When we moved to Rockland County from the Bronx, our friends said we were moving upstate! You can't we worse than Jack. I showed him @John&LaLaJohn's picture and he keeps calling him Bella!

We want to be able to text our daughter in NJ while we're cruising. We don't need email or video chat. Which plan is best? We never felt the need before.

I am salivating here. Better than a restaurant! I'm sure it will be a huge success.

Congratulations. So exciting. Try not to stress. Your kitties will be fine.

70% chance of snow showers tonight with temps in the high 20s. Not 66 inches but this is Texas 🤔

So you just go on Royal's regular website to see what Black Friday deals are available? That is when the system is up.

What an exceptional and brave girl she is! Hope Donna feels better soon.

@OurusualbeachKen, how was the new Galveston terminal? The old terminal looks like a large warehouse.

Maryann, my heart smiled reading how well Ryan is doing! So sorry to read this about your beautiful Cinnamon.

So sorry there was a nightmare of disembarkation. That certainly is no way to end a wonderful cruise.

Lunch with my friends today was fabulous. We drank, we ate, we laughed for 2 1/2 hours. I had an exceptional dish but forget the name. Chicken w/mushrooms over pasta in a brandy cream sauce. So good I cleaned my plate.

That's what I saw on Tony's La Lido Loca you tube vlog. Apparently, there will only be 4 entree choices, no more classic choices. Tony didn't believe the reasons RCI is giving for the change and neither do I.

So excited today to meet 2 friends for lunch I haven't seen in quite some time. I'm looking forward to a glass or two of Moscato and laughing non-stop at our previous antics. Going to a previous favorite Italian joint of ours and hope the food is as good as I remember. Eye is totally healed. Amazing how much clearer I can now see out of that eye. Second one to be done in 2 weeks, Hopefully, I won't develop a scratch since a contact lens will be placed to prevent it from happening this time. The scratch happened after the surgery, not during.

For some weird CC reason I clicked to quote Maryann's post but couldn't type a response!! So, what I wanted to say, @LuckynanaMariann, is that I love reading about your grandkids achievements. Congrats on the latest! You, Jim and the whole family must be so proud and rightly so.

@mets07Wonderful news! Congratulations on the birth of your newest grandchild. @LionesssSue I know you have a multitude of good thoughts and prayers, including mine, going your way for things to work out for you. Let the de-stress begin! @h20skibumContinued prayers for your daughter and granddaughter. @TravelGirlinDallasHoping the 3 of you stay healthy for your Thanksgiving cruise.

Dani, Jack and I totally agree! On a lighter note, today was brisk, sunny in the 50s. A bunch of us drove up to Buc-ees for their out of this world brisket sandwich. Took approx. 30 minutes and well worth it. Tomorrow will be a high of 40, rain all day and a low of 33. Lousy weather for sure. Happy those with covid are getting better. Both Jack and I were fatigued for a few weeks after we were done with covid.
