Was the reception held in a garden center? Is the cookie table a local custom? Not familiar with available homemade cookies and treats at receptions here on Long Island. Very generous of you to do all that baking for your friend’s daughter. MJ🙋🏻♀️ Yes to garden center. Flowers flowers everywhere and pergola settlings. Just think free flowers to use. If you google “cookie table “ you will see Pittsburgh gets the credit. But. Years ago it started here where all the women would bake for each others wedding and a beautiful display would be created and shared. My daughter s wedding had over 3,000 cookies. Every on I baked for returned the offering. 1 hour ago, h20skibum said: Those cookies all look so delicious. I don’t know if that is a local custom or not, but I don’t recall ever being at a wedding without them. Yes. Almost all weddings here have them. Some people buy them. Prices per dozen can range depending on bakery and type of cookie and size of order $9-$12 a dozen. And sometimes cookies from Sam’s club/Walmart are added for $5-8 dollars a dozen. 7 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare Lionesss Posted September 22 #129355 Share Posted September 22 @Ocean Boy I talk to my cat too. But. A side note. Just something I said above and not what you addressed. I would never taker her to a wedding reception. Plus. Sit at a table with other guest and ignore them, turn my back away and be on my phone.

Keksie Posted September 22 #129356 Share Posted September 22 Sitting in the airport waiting for our flight home. The Jewel is a nice ship but there is not enough seating in the centrum to get a seat for all the activities they had. The entertainment was good on this cruise. The bands were okay. Food: we had MTD and I made reservations for 7:15 each night except the nights we ate in the specialty restaurants. It didn't seem to matter though. The first 2 nights they didn't even ask just seated 3 two tops at a time. One night we had to wait 30 minutes. The service was extremely slow between courses. Sigh. We ate in the dining room maybe 4 nights. Izumi 2 nights. Chops 1 night and the Windjammer the rest of the time. Izumi and Chops were great. We had a good time but I don't think we will take this long a cruise again at least in cold weather. Too many sea days and it wasn't warm enough to sit on the balcony or the outdoor pool. Even the solarium was a little too chilly a couple of the days. 15 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MJSailors Posted September 22 #129357 Share Posted September 22 @Lionesss Wait… I have to ask. Did that person bring her cat to the wedding reception? Or was she paying attention to a cat at the garden center? Just curious. But you know what curiosity did to the cat.🙄 MJ🙋🏻♀️ 8 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sunshine3601 Posted September 22 #129363 Share Posted September 22 I am looking at hotel options for our San Juan cruise in January. Anyone have any suggestions? We would arrive early afternoon Saturday then board Rhapsody on Sunday. I'm thinking Condado Hotel or Hilton Garden Inn near Condado Beach. We definitely want a hotel with a pool and restaurant/bar. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did have take home cookies for one of my daughters wedding. She and I baked cookies the week prior, froze them, boxed them. This was instead of favors that some people do. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

grapau27 Posted September 22 #129368 Share Posted September 22 Good evening it is 17.16pm. We took a friend of Pauline's to hospital this afternoon for a colonoscopy. We then went to the beach for something to eat. I hope y'all are having a great day. 6 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So far RCI is the only cruise line to ban this item. We take a travel clock that has an extra USB port. There were 2 plug ins at the desk. One was for the clock and I used the port for my phone. We used the other plug in to cycle through everything else. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We stayed at the El Conquistador in Fajardo, which had its own private island where they ferried you for a beach break (Palomino). I think that hotel is no more. But it was really really nice. There are many other hotels in that area. Very nice area. But if you are there just for one night, you would want to stay near Condado (Caribe Hilton) or Isla Verde or even in old SJ (El Convento comes to mind). Isla Verde area is nice and has many hotels. Convention Center area is another one. 2 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare h20skibum Posted September 22 #129372 Share Posted September 22 My daughter and her husband went to an adult only birthday party for one of their friends turning 40 last night, so we had the grandkids. Took them on a duck hunt. Found one. 13 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted September 22 #129373 Share Posted September 22 After the duck hunt, we took the kids to a WaterFire festival. Torches are lit on the bridge. And fire on the water. The theme for the evening was from Earth, Wind, and Fire. Do you remember The 21st night of September? Love was changin' the minds of pretenders While chasin' the clouds away 22 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll check out the other locations you mentioned. Thank you, Sis😊 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Rare h20skibum Posted September 22 #129375 Share Posted September 22 Since yesterday was football, that meant this morning was baseball. It was sooo long, and they finally ended the game in the 5th, after two hours. Grandson’s team was ahead 20-1 at that point. All in all, a good sports weekend for him. Oh, and today is his 12th birthday. Party later. 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
