Beautiful car Andrew. That would sure entice me to come home sooner (if possible)! Maryann, hope you have a safe trip and a great visit with your family. Glad to hear Eric’s not in too much pain. Also, good luck on your first day tomorrow! This makes me happy and it’s not even my stuff! Yes, I’m an organization junkie. @grapau27 I love the garden lights. Pauline did a nice job setting them up. @Ocean Boy I don’t know if you saw it mentioned but Stevie Nicks is in concert Sept 28th at Xfinity Center in Mansfield. I know you’ve mentioned how much you like her. I’d be all over getting tickets for it but we’re committed to babysitting the grandsons. We had a busy weekend with two of our girls & our granddaughters visiting for the day and swimming. Yesterday we had friends come over for the day with their grandkids to swim. Today has been cleaning up from the entertaining. We also started talking about that January cruise - Jewel vs Harmony. I think we’re leaning towards Harmony. Even though it doesn’t go to Bonaire like Jewel does, we like the longer port day in Curaçao. Andy’s also more interested in the newer ship. Also narrowing down transportation & pre cruise hotel options.

Non-stop options between Providence & Ft Lauderdale stink. The only option is Jet Blue with an evening flight down (which is okay because we’d fly down a day or two early) and early afternoon return on 7/15, but it’s $ 752 per person! I didn’t see any non-stop return flight to Hartford. I’ve mentioned before that I don’t like flying, especially taking off, so I always prefer non-stop. Even more so in January with potential weather issues. Boston would be a last resort. I’m honestly thinking maybe we’d just drive. We’ll be in PA over New Year’s weekend; could just leave from there & spend a few extra days in FL pre-cruise.

I’m sure that would be great fun! We always go to our daughter’s house in PA for New Years. They don’t want to travel up here for Christmas as long as Santa’s still a thing for the kids, so we celebrate “second” Christmas and New Years with them. Maybe! Thanks to all for your input on Jewel & Radiance class. It’s going to be a tough call between the two. Andy thinks I’ve gone off the rails a bit LOL. We have two Disney trips coming up in August & September, Voyager cruise in November, Bella’s cruise in March with extra time in FL pre-cruise thrown in, an NCL cruise with friends in June and Disney next August with the whole family. My response “YOLO”!

I mentioned looking at the Harmony Jan 7th cruise with stops in Aruba & Curaçao. Looking around, I also found an 8 night on Jewel of the Seas, stopping at Aruba, Curaçao and Bonaire, departs on Jan 6th from Pt Canaveral. PC isn’t the easiest as far as transportation to/from Orlando airport but in the other hand, there are more flight options there from Providence. Price is quite a bit lower than Harmony too. Anyone here ever sailed on the Jewel? Radiance class seems to get a lot of love in review searches.

Glad it’s working now Debbie and I hope it stays that way! They’ve been saying 90% chance of thunderstorms here most of the day but so far not a drop. We desperately need the rain. At least we’re only in the low 80’s today & tomorrow. I finally opened all the drapes & blinds today; had them closed to try and keep the house cooler and give the AC a little help. I hate having them closed & the house dark. Regarding plates. We have everyday dishes we use most days unless we’re just having burgers or pizza. Like someone else said, if we don’t use the dishwasher often enough it starts to smell a little funky. Probably because there’s only two of us here. We also have wedding china that never gets used. Christmas dishes get used for a couple of weeks around the holiday. @Sea Dog that leftover meal looks like no leftovers I’ve ever served, LOL. Thanks for also posting the recipe links. We (me & my girls) all use Ree Drummond’s mashed potato recipe which calls for cream cheese - it’s the best!

I had a great day at the beach yesterday with my 3 oldest friends from high school. We laughed, reminisced and warmly remembered the few that’ve left us too soon. It’s 93 degrees here today, just spent most of the day floating around the pool which is great but only slightly refreshing with the water temperature 90 degrees! I think I mentioned our best friends won a “free” cruise thru the Foxwoods casino on NCL. They’ve never cruised before & want us to join them so I researched all the options from a list of possibles they were given and dates that worked for them (both still work full time). We settled on the Getaway Eastern Caribbean out if PC next June. Their “free” cruise is going to cost them $2100, LOL. That includes upgrading to a balcony and the 4 promos so ultimately not a bad price for a 7 night cruise. @aussielozzie18 I’m so enjoying your travel photos. Please keep them coming! @Sea DogCant wait to see pictures of this fabulous dinner you’re preparing.

I’m woefully behind again after only one day! It doesn’t matter to me if the thread stays where it is or moves to Floataway. I’ll be here either way but it seems there are others who wouldn’t if it moves and I’d hate to lose anyone. The few nasty intruders we’ve had didn’t stick around long. Best to just ignore them when they show up (but thanks @Jimbo!)

FWIW, I don’t know your name either. And I couldn’t be bothered to go to the trouble of trying to figure it out. If you wanted me/us to know it, you would’ve shared it. I hope this doesn’t keep you from posting and sharing as it seems like 99.99% of the people here don’t care that you’re anyone but Ocean Boy.
