 I throughly enjoyed his last video from St Thomas.

Totally agree. I also have enjoyed the ones on San Juan. They have given me some good sites, restaurants and bars to visit when we are there hopefully this November.

Deciding not to travel into the town/wine area yesterday, we enjoyed the day at the little house.  Set up our own wine and cheese tasting on the patio over the vineyard, using local wines and local cheese we bought.  Sure, area has a lot of wineries...but also very known for their homemade cheese...yum!!  

 

The "Truffle Tremor" was the best.  😉  

 

 

Now you've got my attention. 🍷🧀

Me either, but I also can’t picture hubby with long hair. Didn’t even recognize him. 🤣

When I got married I had facial hair.My wife never saw me clean shaven.

In 2016 I shaved my beard and mustache off and what did my wife say ?

She told me to grow them back immediately.I also felt that way.

My beard was chest length before Covid.  It's now about 1/2".  Was too uncomfortable/awkward wearing a mask.  I'll be fully vaccinated soon, and hopefully won't need to wear a mask in the coming months.  Can't wait to grow it out again.

Waiting for school to end. 
 

 

Grandma rolled in with 14 balloons and a gift. She had 4 blow away in the yard. She chased after 2 and caught them. She had to blow up 2 more to replace the ones that popped.

In 1972 I had shoulder length hair and a beard down to nearly my belly.I trimmed it a bit in 1980.Now it is quite long but white,whereas years ago reddish brown.

Lovely scenery.

Looks like you were both having a fantastic happy hour.

So after 48 hours since my vaccine shot I have had almost no symptoms.  I had a mild headache on Monday but woke up Tuesday fine.  Everything has been just like usual since then.  DW had a sore arm for a couple of days but that is it.

 

 

That's good news that you both only had minor side effects.

I am going to have to watch some of this as Below Deck is not doing it for me this season.

Below Deck Mediterranean Series 3 has just ended in the UK on E4 but no date yet for series 4.

Lenny, years ago I use to order cruise brochures directly for the cruise lines we were interested in booking with and then once the cruise was booked I'd toss the brochures. Same with land vacations. I find it much easier (at least for me ) to use the computer for researching info.

I used to like having the brochures to look through. I also used to wrap them up for Christmas to give to family who were getting the cruise as their Christmas present. That way they had something under the tree to open.

Dave ,I meant if you visit a museum or a church or a historic site where there are brochures that I keep them and have been since 1967.

London is a lovely city and it's nice seeing places you recognise from your previous visits.

We live 250 miles from London but have been there several times.

 

250 is practically next door in our perspective

What generous gifts from Santa.  Your family is very fortunate.  I am sure they were very appreciative.

My dad actually ended up as a photographer during the war, he got to travel to some neat places and photograph a few celebs including Bob Hope and Eleanor Roosevelt.  Have many pictures I can't part with and my daughter is drooling over.

I do save maps, those are interesting.

 

And as I said earlier, scan things. Takes up considerably less space, and can be shared

I had many plaques,awards presented to me over a 40 year period.When I lived in NYC I had them on the wall of my basement.Recently my wife suggested that I get rid of them.I scanned them and got rid of them.
