I love the bumper cars.  It's the only place while you can drink and drive😇

My favorite time on a ship🥰

[Ocean Boy]

Walking on water. And believe me, I was treading lightly! 

 

 

 

The panel that had recently cracked. 😮

Do you plan to do the iFly?   It was a fun experience when we did it.

I'm not sure. I was in a biking accident last summer and still have some right shoulder issues.

Having breakfast at TWO 70. The view...

I hadn't heard about that. I wonder who tested it by walking on it first?

Wait until your shoulder will be 100%. It is a huge air pressure. I enjoyed it, launched myself in the air just right, but it was a very loooong minute.

 

Nice for about 20 seconds, but never again.

 

Same with the bumper cars, once was enough, damage to your back bones guaranteed....

Wish I was more 'crafty' 

My mum has made some amazing cross stitch pictures,  and it's a reminder of her every day that hangs on our walls.

She was also a very good knitter and made beautiful jumpers for the kids when they were young. 

I gave all her embroidery silks and knitting needles away when she died. Wished I had kept some now.

I was thinking of taking up crochet. Does anyone here do that? Is it easy to get started?

I crochet a little bit.  There are good YouTube videos for all the stitches.  If you have a yarn store close to you they may have beginning crochet and knitting classes.  I know there are beginning knitting books so they probably have beginning crochet books also.  Crochet is very easy to start and now there are some amazing patterns out there.  A website called Ravelry is a good place for patterns and support.

And I hope your broken wrist heals nicely.💐

I also saw a brief post on another thread

I know your mom has been ill for a while but its always a shock when it happens 😔

 

Jane my condolences as well, lost my mom 36 years ago and still think about her all the time, never easy. My thoughts are with you and your sister.

Hello Aruba, it's been a long time since we've seen each other.

Good afternoon.

We had a nice lunch yesterday.

Rabbit Rabbit white Rabbit for the first of the month.

I hope everyone has a great day.

I need to learn how to plate my meals better, so they look more appetizing.  Last night’s supper of baby back ribs, potatoes with cheese and sour cream, cheese broccoli, and coleslaw.  

 

It is what the grandkids had asked us to fix for dinner.  
 

It might not be arranged nicely, but it didn’t hurt the taste.  I don’t think I would ever tire of this meal.

I was talking with our neighbors the other day.  They moved here about a year ago. They were originally considering buying a house in a different neighborhood, but their realtor got a little freaked out about the house.  Someone died there under potentially suspicious circumstances, with blood on the floor.  Turns out it's the house where Captain Mark from Below Deck died.  I don't watch the show and don't know him, but he was supposed to have been the first season captain??

Another project off the needles and blocked.  So far I have finished 3 items this year.  

 

 

That's impressive!  I love all the detailed stitching, and the colors are beautiful.

As u can see, I was the only "brave" to try the bumper cars, the Ifly and the North Star... DH just took the pics....😉

Playmakers must be a nice addition to the SeaPlex.  It doesn't exist on Quantum or Ovation.  The only thing back there on those two ships is the Doghouse.  We caught the tail end of one of the bumper car sessions, and we saw a few kids shooting baskets there once, but there was never anyone there otherwise.  Seemed like a big waste of space.  Wasn't there supposed to be a trapeze in the SeaPlex at one point?

We have sailed Anthem many times and Seaplex is always very busy.  Post covid, not all the activities were happening due to social distancing and staffing.  Quantum in Alaska definitely wasn't operating as usual when we sailed last May.
