Rare h20skibum Posted August 28, 2022 #69326 Share Posted August 28, 2022 Yesterday was the first football game for our granddaughter. She has that all important position of Cheerleader. She did excellent with her cheers. Her mom was a cheerleader, and Susan was a master at the fire baton, so spirit runs in the family. The football team came away with a 26-16 win for the first game. Next weekend is a home game. 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Although I did not mention specifically, I think most deduced that it will be her first chemo for a rare and aggressive cancer. That’s why we were rushing everywhere to get the tests they wanted completed before they would start. Some places said they couldn’t do tests before October, which made no sense. The one test with such a long wait, we paid out of pocket for her to get it done last Friday. 21 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJSailors Posted August 28, 2022 #69330 Share Posted August 28, 2022 @h20skibum Your granddaughter is a very cute cheerleader ! Wishing your daughter strength tomorrow for her treatment. Love and support of her family will be with her tomorrow and on her health journey. Please let her know that so many here on Dani’s thread are on her team and we will be thinking of her tomorrow and the days to come.

After getting through all the additional testing last week, and getting things coordinated between the five hospitals involved with the tests, she is scheduled to start treatments tomorrow. Given the long wait times on hold, and the difficulty in getting tests scheduled, you would thinK that Royal was handling their phone lines. Positive thoughts, plus prayers for tomorrow, Mark🙏 10 hours ago, grapau27 said: Lovely gardens. +1 10 hours ago, grapau27 said: It is 11.40am 65°F and sunny in our back garden where we are having a rest.

Spent the end of the evening at Quincy Market listening to a really good singer/guitarist who was playing outside. Finally Amtrak delivered us home as safely as it got us into the city. It was a good day..... One of my favorite clocks in the city... Beautiful picture of the clock. It sounds like you had a wonderful day in Boston! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare h20skibum Posted August 28, 2022 #69341 Share Posted August 28, 2022 So my day, today started out with a walk at the lake at sunrise. Then we took a drive to Lake Erie. Yesterday was birthday #69 for one of Susan’s sisters, so we took her out for lunch. She wanted to try Pier 6, which is a rooftop bar and grille overlooking the bay. They had a limited menu for Sunday, so I ordered the breakfast tacos. They were actually pretty good, with a little spice to them. I tried a couple of their pier bliss drinks, which I kept referring to as pier blitz and pier runners. (Not sure where I picked up those terms). The drink contained Citroen, triple sec, Malibu, pineapple juice, orange juice, sprite, and grenadine. About 3/4 of the glass was alcohol based with the remainder juices. They were tasty. They were having a tall ships review at the pier. I didn’t have any trouble finding this cruising duck. Afterwards, we walked on the peninsula. We did spot a couple monarch butterflies, which are now listed as endangered. We even found one of their caterpillars on a milkweed, which is their source of food. 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Guessing you didn't make your 11am check in time then? Yes, parked at the garage for $25/day. Sat in taffic for about 45 minutes. Once parked and in the terminal check in was a breeze. we had dinner in CK this evening. Filet mignon melted in my mouth. Sorry dont know why underlining now. @Sea Dog. First drink was Kraken Colada with floater, then a painkiller, then a rum punch with kraken floater, then a glass of Riesling with dinner, even though I hate to mix. 24 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I can't remember when your retirement date was. People kept telling me that it would seem like I was on vacation for the first 6-12 months and then at some point I'd need to find things to do for my "new normal". I'm a little more than 2 years retired and it still seems like vacation. I sat next to the pool today reading a book while listening to the Margaritaville channel on SiriusXM. Bliss. Maybe playing golf a couple of days a week is my new normal. 🏌️♂️⛳🍺 11 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine3601 Posted August 29, 2022 #69350 Share Posted August 29, 2022 (edited) We have 6600 or 6800 passengers are the counts I heard so far. First day seems like an insane amount of people. Hoping tomorrow doesn't seem so crowded. We had snafu with Eric's luggage, another passenger grabbed his bag by mistake and brought to our cabin after dinner. All Good. Love the location of our JS. Balcony has 2 lounge chairs and regular size table with 2 chairs. I love having walk in closet. Tons of storage shame we are only onboard for a week.
