Generally, it is easy to manage this. On the first cruise, have a chat with the Loyalty Ambassador. S/he can expedite the switch. @StanleyandGus Pls. see above in red @Merion_Mom 's reply to your "conundrum". She's much more experienced than me. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I sometimes add a little balsamic with the olive oil, salt & pepper. Try radishes some time. They are really good and surprisingly, don’t taste like you’d expect. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I love radishes. We have grown them in the past, didn't this year. I always sliced my radishes and put in salads or would simply grab and eat. never cooked them, will have to try that.

I used to love watching Michael Phelps swim and I like to see Simone Biles, Gymnanist, but I also like to see the newbies win 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

The only problem is when I grow them I can’t find enough people to eat them. Last year I grew a type called Breakfast Radishes. We have a Mexican food truck that slices them up and serves them with tacos. They taste good with steak tacos. We can still grow them. It only takes about 30 days to mature. @jagsfan I have never thought of including the radishes. I need to try. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

He always writes nice articles. Serenade is one of our favorite ships. Love the size and the atmosphere and always feel at home as soon as we walk on her. I cannot imagine what it feels like with only 630 passengers. I think we would love it but at the same time miss having all the people to watch and meet. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare Lionesss Posted July 23, 2021 #23623 Share Posted July 23, 2021 SUCCESS. Yup. Been an interesting day. So. The newest adventure for us is. DRUM ROLL After dealing with township and county representatives, and numerous re do’s of blue prints. Today we were finally approved for our construction of a new Un attached garage. Now mind you. The DH. Thought of everything. And left no option out, you know, might be needed in the future. We live in a development on 2 1/2 acres. We conquered or should I say we modified the development rules after other owners who live on our street did not follow. Just had to make sure they could not come back and penalize us. Some of the township trustees not all should have looked into there past with skeletons in their closets before they ran for public office. But we won’t go there. Let’s just say they quickly approved the revised blue prints, I think just to get rid of me. Onto the county. To get in to zoning office I had to first meet with a sherif deputy to state my intentions, go through medical detector and X-ray screening of my purse. I felt safe and secure there. They obviously missed my can of mace on my key ring and those scissors. Well. I was safe. Then into zoning office That man was awesome. Quickly printed my permit and out the door. Now to the garage. 1120 square functional space concrete base. It is a lofted 1 1/2 levels 1 double and single garage doors Side people door Back golf cart door. ( DH snuck that by me, we do not own a golf cart ). But he says we can ride lawn mower and snow blower in. Work bench Room for 5 of those big red tool chests Sink Sitting area mini fridge comfy chairs tables sattelite hookup ???? He’ s gonna freeze his **** off in winter only portable heaters Um sounds like a man cave in the making. I personally knew we needed some more storage and didn’t think our current 5 car Garage was too small. But. I guess I cannot complain. The DH ALWAYS lets me get what I want so it is his turn. Below is a picture of our wooded lot. Yup those trees were downed over a year ago. Now they will be moved for the new addition. Then the building will begin. We picked our start date end of August. 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lionesss Posted July 23, 2021 #23624 Share Posted July 23, 2021 Addendum. Yup he deserves it I told him to consider it my 30th anniversary gift to him. Then out of the blue he goes. This year not only is it our 30th anniversary, but also I want to get you something you wants since it is a milestone birthday for you. . So let me know so I don’t end up in the dog house ( or garage ) for all that matters. I go I will think about it. So it only took 30 seconds for the text to get to his phone of what I would like. He barely was out of the room when his phone chimed. Bangle bracelet with a few diamonds. 17 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
