Royal Caribbean Cruisers -- How Are Things Where You Are? (was "Routine" ​ 😁 ​day in lockdown... how was yours?)

[jmh2006]

Made it on the Explorer after a not organized bus ride from Venice to Ravenna.  Got to the bus station at 10:30 am for 11am departure.  Long line to board buses, threatening storm coming and we were out in the open.  So, they did move us into a covered area.  Don’t get in bus till 12:30 and arrived at port at 2:30.  Getting on ship was smooth though!

Saw lots of navy and marines walking since this s fleet week. Walked out at intermission of Hamilton, seats are so small with no leg room, cast was excellent will have to see it in Dallas with a touring company, seats are not designed for a 6’4” 270 pound man. Great pizza last night , will see play “back to the future “ this afternoon.

 

 

I'm 6'0" and this has been a problem for every Broadway show that I've seen.  My knees are right against the seat in front of me.  I can't imagine squeezing in another 4 inches of legroom.  These theaters were built when everyone was a lot smaller. 🤣  Are you staying at the Michelangelo?  That was a great suggestion for our stay in January...especially that Grand Suite.  Enjoy the Bar-Bill Tavern when you get to Buffalo!

  Today we want to celebrate our oldest grandson Chris for doing something selfless and generous.  A while back he signed up for one of those "be the match" registries.  Well, they found a match for a patient with non-Hodgkins Lymphoma, and today he starts the process to donate stem cells for a transfusion.  Next week he'll fly to Houston to complete the procedure, which essentially involves several hours of blood donation (for lack of a better explanation) to harvest his stem cells.

 

I can't even find the words to express my feelings about the most generous gift that Chris is donating to this woman who I'm sure will be eternally grateful for a second chance at life.   Chris, who is 20 years old, is our oldest grandson.  He makes us so very proud!!❤️

 

 

Maryann.

Your grandson is doing an amazing thing and you are right to be extremely proud of Chris.

Good evening Graham!  Every one deserves a lazy day!  It is 75 degrees and sunny here today, but it sure feels a lot hotter when working outside!  I'm done for the day.😊

Who knows if he will stay. He didn’t answer any of the questions about his future when asked. Alex Ferguson was going to be sacked before he won the FA cup and he went on to be one of the greats!

That is as many as we put down at our place, but I try to just do it every other year, with a little top dressing in between.

 

If you had the storm we just had, you probably had some wash away.

Just got back from seeing Back to the Future , very enjoyable play , highly recommend and I bought tickets yesterday from tkts and this theater had plenty of leg room, I have a list of theaters that I will not ever go to again now it’s a little longer . I definitely need to research the leg room whenever possible. Had lunch in a seafood restaurant extremely small oysters but did have an excellent lobster roll. My cousin is playing at Swing 46 most of the night so we will definitely will listen to him possibly a return to Becco.

Couple of busy days for us.  Getting ready now to drive to our granddaughter’s dance recital tonight.  Four different costume changes for her.  Had to buy our tickets from Ticketmaster, so this must be the big time.

 

We are in between rain showers, so I hope it holds off till she gets inside the venue so her hair stays nice.

[Ozark_Kid]

Finnley has been busy.  Yesterday she helped in the garden.

 

 

Today she is maintaining the car!

[DaniDanielle]

So cute😊

We just had a hailstorm.  Pretty crazy.  Hail was big & my truck doesn’t fit in the garage sooooo gonna be interesting when i go look at the hood.

 

Thank goodness we finished the mulch when we did!  That hail woulda hurt like h*** 😂

Andy opened our pool today. It’s a little green but not too bad. 

 

Ellie’s ready even if the pool isn’t.

 

Speaking of mulch, we’re in the process of replacing all the mulch around the perimeter of the pool with small stones.  Andy’s tired of the work and expense to put down fresh mulch every year.  

 

I also picked up a new trinket this morning. 

 

Still on baby alert. 2 cm dilated as of Friday’s appointment.

Sharon got sushi for me today.   They call it American Dream.

Shrimp tempura roll, avocado, masago, cream cheese topped with spicy crab meat.

 

Speaking of Sushi,  do you know what the Sushi said as the bee flew by?  ......    Wasabi 

Yum, that looks good. We used to belong to Sam’s Club and they made sushi right there. It was very good, but unfortunately we don’t belong there anymore.

Nice trinket.  Baby will be here before you know it and then you will blink and they will be off to college
