This morning we gave our granddaughter a choice of three activities for the day.It is very sunny and hot.

1) Our condo development has 3 outdoor pools and state of the art tennis courts.She would be swimming and afterward playing tennis with Toby.

2) We have a summer pass to a beautiful private beach.There are nearly always outdoor concerts nearby.

3) Staying home and sitting on our deck playing board games with Toby and I.

She opted for #3.

That is a brilliant idea.  Definitely going to steal that one.  Hope your cruise is going well.

Absolutely wonderful.  Another gorgeous day here in Gdansk today.  Almost got separated from our tour group today stopping to get this picture.  I now know what my post dinner drinks will be.

Good evening.

Just got home after a couple of amazing nights in the English Lake District.

I just booked us for Anthem sailing for Eric's BD cruise sailing out of cape liberty on 3.26.23. 

I used my free annual casino prime cruise.  They are for interiors but we upgraded to an OVB.  Cabin 7254 with extra wide balcony and double window like JSs have.  We like these rectangular cabins.   After he applied our diamond discount for balcony and 55+ discount the upgrade was free.  While actually he said it be $4.88 but he waived that when he saw it was Eric's BD cruise.😀

We still have his free annual cruise to use.  Not sure yet what we will do with that one.   

Cool beans, Debbie!    How many days?

Congratulations and so pleased all is well. What a beautiful little girl, babies are such everyday miracles. 

 

Our DIL is due on 01Sept and went into hospital to be checked over for pre eclampsia 10 days ago, but has been given the all clear and is back at home .  Her mum who is a retired nurse and lives abroad,  came back to UK early to look after her and checks her BP twice daily 

Thank goodness your DIL got the all clear and is home.  Bonus having her mum checking her BP and keeping an eye on her, Sue!🙏

We have breakfast dinner often.  I love breakfast foods, pancakes, waffles, french toast, eggs benedict etc.

Besides loving breakfast dinner, it's always great in a "pinch" when nothing has been planned.😉

Good job Debbie!

We booked Nov 20 and Jan 2.  The TA we used for the Oasis had a great group rate with some OBC and a specialty dinner thrown in.

The square cabins with wider balconies are wonderful on the Anthem. And always stick to port side if you are getting one on deck 6 or 7.

Yes, i usually do port side when one of these square cabins is available.  We love having the extra wide balcony with full table and the extra full length window.  We are also booked for the 12.4 Anthem sailing.

That's great you were able to get some OBC and specialty dining from your TA😃

7 nights.  Their usual run to the bahamas.  Not an exciting itinerary but we do love sailing on Anthem and the convenience of driving to cape liberty.

I look at your mushrooms??? and think sautéed lamb kidneys. 
I had them for breakfast in NZ every day. 
But never in Great Britain or Ireland. 

Not impressed. They have bigger eggs in Texas and we have told Graham about beanz in little pots.🤣🤣

That was just one of many things I read while reading up on preeclampsia.   It would of been easier to handle if I would of been in total ignorance.   

They are still at the hospital.   DD is needing watched for a few things but seems to be handing it ok.  Sharon was there during the delivery and informed me of a few complications that happened. 

They said Finnley did not pass her hearing test early this morning but other babies were not too so they think it may be a machine malfunction or fluid.  The biggest thing that concerns me is that they said they could retest in 24 hours.   My first thought,  do they expect for them to still be there in 24 hours.  

Plenty of babies fail their first hearing test for reasons that mean nothing serious. Secondly, it is not unusual for new borns to be in the hospital up to 3 days. You need to find some liquid to mix some Kraken into and relax.😉

How is Hubby's hand/wrist doing?  Healing nicely i hope😍

It’s doing okay.  He goes to PT once a week and the therapist measures the range of motion with his fingers (ability to make a fist, etc) which shows improvement.  The issue is he has fluid in the bursa (elbow), not uncommon after this type of surgery, but his is not getting any better.  It may have to be drained.  He has another follow up with the surgeon Monday morning before we leave for FL so we’ll see what he says.  The Dr had said he shouldn’t be babying the wrist, but Andy takes that to the extreme and IMO is doing more than he should.  I’m hoping the 10 days away in FL where there’s no yard work to be done, sheds to be organized, etc. will help.  
I hope Eric’s back is getting better.

As I saw your notice pop up the nurse came back with Finnley.  She said she past the test they do before letting them go home.  They still are waiting to test DD blood pressure and another test.  Looking more promising they will head home today!  I believe they said they would do another hearing test on Finnley in 24 hours with more to do with billing.  The nurse said 3 of 5 babies tested did not pass.

I have been used to seeing Finnley with her cap on....

 

 

I was surprised to see how much hair she has!

On our last cruise it was a big draw about 5 in the afternoon. Most of the tables outside the Pub were jammed with pizza eaters. Especially teens.

In the meantime her cousins have been at the market selling flowers.

She's got (considerably) more hair than I do!  I'm loving these pictures.

I'm sure he'll love it.  Things were very different back when I was in 5th grade.  I liked playing the french horn but when I stayed after school for band practice, I had to walk home.  It was about a 3/4 mile walk, lugging that large, heavy case.  That got old quickly.  I'm guessing that Andrew doesn't need to carry his case nearly that far.

I hope you’re right! We live about 1/2 mile from the school, and so far he loves walking home with his friends (a new thing this year). Hopefully, the horn won’t make it too difficult.
