Still working at collecting ducks today. This was the classic “drunk duck”. She was already floating on her side. 
 

 

It is a tough job, but someone has to do it. 

 

DH wanted to know what was in that green concoction.  Looks like something The Wicked Witch would drink!

The drunk duck looks blue in their menu, so maybe one of the ingredients was off.  It has orange vodka, rum, blue Curaçao, melon liqueur, and pineapple. It is tasty.

Or maybe the duck threw up…😆

Thank you ALL for the well wishes.

 

I'm thoroughly moved by some many of you who posted.

 

The happy reunion. From 5C to 34C in one day....

 

 

 

DS2 & Co. are based at our in-laws (the parents of our DIL). We'll get the grands for a couple of days and nights.

 

They're here until Saturday, 4th of May.

 

DH didn't cook much, apart from chopped liver, since until the last moment we didn't know what the "situation" will be and if they'll make it here.

 

He'll start tomorrow on the chicken soup and, more important, on the "gefilte fish". There will be also a new "edition" of chopped liver for the second "seder" on Sunday night. 

Dani, I am so happy that your family made it and you all together. I am sure you are all grinning ear to ear being together.  
 

Have a great time! 

[Ocean Boy]

I am VERY unhappy.

[Luckynana]

I am so disappointed!!!  Why the idol wasn't played??  You can't trust anyone, and yet this person did.  Graham is also pretty bummed.🤨

[Ocean Boy]

Maria turned on him. I liked her up until now.

Schooner Drinker and I are now rooting for Kenzie.    I still can't believe he/she trusted the group.  Bummer.

I saw the new trailer for the new season of Below Deck Med with Captain Sandy. Looks interesting as Aiesha is coming on board to be chief stew.

 

What I’m confused about is that it was my understanding that the new season of Below Deck Sailing would be airing after Below   Deck season 11. I wonder what happened?

I believe I read that the new Below Deck season with Captain Sandy and Aisha begins in June🤔

BD season 11 still has 4 charters left, I think, which could possibly be shown in the next two or three weeks🤔

So. Armchair physicians. ☺️ Why does a half to three quarters of an inch lesion require a FOUR INCH incision, with many, many stitches? I will ask when I go to have them removed. And I am thankful that it was removed. And it is horizontal on my thigh, not vertical. So that is good. 

 

I am just curious at this point, how the perimeters are determined. They still send it off to the lab to see if enough was removed. It just seems a little excessive. And since I couldn't watch, I was kind of surprised. ☺️

All I can say it is to clear the margins which is what you want to happen.  You should have  seen  the incision and the large number of stitches I got for a tiny red dot on the side of my face.  My colleagues were surprised I needed to take 2 weeks off work, so I sent them a photo of all the stitches…..Just an fyi - I religiously rubbed in the cream recommended by the surgeon  post op for quite so time.  It worked a treat.  All I can see now  is a area of my skin on the side of my face that is paler than the rest of my face.  No-one else would notice it

@DaniDanielle Congratulations on your 53rd Anniversary 💒🥂

Note to self - do not wear your favourite jeans and a white jacket on a very muddy trail up a steep hillside 🤦‍♀️

[aussielozzie18]

Had a lovely day walking 2km through the rainforest on boardwalks, exploring another beach and hiking up a very steep, very muddy ‘hill’, with no signage, no track and lots and lots of tree roots to clamber over….

 

Rainforest Trails

 

 

 

 

 

So nice to visit Tofino in the off-season when it is not crowded.

 

This sign in the rainforest

- oldie but a goodie

 

The bottom of the track before we hit the steep incline…

 

 

Views from the top were worth it though.

Hello!  We are back!  Got home last night after about an 9 hour flight. We were exhausted.  It is nice to be home.  I see that I am about 50 pages behind on Dani’s thread.  I am not going to attempt to read those pages yet- (I did take a peek at only the last few pages though).  Lots to take care of at home first plus to shake this jet lag off of me. Then I will continue from where I left off to  share our adventures with you.  Please be patient.  I will have to edit all the photos before I can share.

 

Dani @dani negreanu So happy you got to be reunited with your family for Passover.

Marietta @DaniDanielle Happy 53rd Anniversary!

 

Sorry if I missed any other big or small news.
