Thank you for the anniversary wishes @grapau27 Graham, @dani negreanu Dani, @Sunshine3601 Debbie, @Lionesss Sue, and @A&L_Ont Andrew.

 

It will not be the anniversary celebration we had planned.  We have all 3 grandkids today, because our daughter is in for a medical procedure.  Our celebration will have to wait.   Out for breakfast with the grands, then will see what this day holds for us and the kids.

Happy anniversary

I choose #2, because of the eyes. They seem to have a more soulful gaze.

I picked #2 for the eyes, too.

Norway had great entertainment, I took 3 cruises in a 12 month period, on one they had just changed casts for PT Barnum and lead guy kept falling off the tightrope luckily it wasn’t up that high, saw Shirley Jones and many other great acts . 

 The tightrope is what I remember the most from  that show. 
It was strung across the stage and the guy walked it with no wobbles. 
What amazed me then and still does is that there were barf bags tucked into all the handrails and we were rolling and pitching so bad we were holding onto our seats. Old time cruising!

They are so cute, but #2 is very nice.

 

Take care

This one !  The emblem on the hat is visible.  Reminiscent of the Margaret Keane paintings with the huge eyes .  Hat is not too floppy.

Thanks everyone for playing along. Number two had the most votes. I am going to alternate that one with the current picture you see in my avatar.

 

With my cruises coming up. I'd like for people if they see me to come up and say hi.

When I was at the liquor store last week they only had small bottles.🤨

I was looking up Kraken last night and saw those mini Kraken bottles put to good use as cake toppings for Kraken themed birthday cakes.

We tried smash burgers on Friday- they’re really good!
 

I was surprised at the cost of a cast iron griddle for the barbecue, but it’s cast iron- one of the kids can inherit it!

Number 2 was my pick.

The big eyes did it.

Great new avatar Greg.

Yeah if you could figure out how to do their fries that would be a winner...winner....hamburger dinner.

First time I've heard about Five Guys was here... Then, I've noticed the name in the food hall in Dubai's greatest mall. Exactly my kind of fries 😉

 

So when I saw them again in Placa Catalunya, I knew where we'll have dinner....😁

Five Guys was my first introduction to the Coca Cola Freestyle machines!

Forty-two years ago today I was doing something I have never done since.  I was headed to Pittsburgh for an overnight stay, then flying out in the morning for a same day flight for my first ever cruise.  It is a good thing airlines were more reliable then. 

 

Susan and I were sailing on the eighth sailing of the SS Norway, which was the largest cruise ship at the time.  We sailed to St. Thomas and Little San Salvador. 

 

 

Now those were lifeboats

 

We couldn’t fly down the day before, because August 2nd we were too busy getting married.  I guess I have never done that since, either. 😏

HAPPY ANNIVERSARY, MARK & SUSAN!!!

Wishing you many, many years of happiness!!

Jim and my very first cruise was on the SS Norway, back in 1983😊
