BonTexasNY Posted August 19 #127901 Share Posted August 19 CC is posting double pages again...sigh. @HBE4 So happy to read that your cruise with old and new friends brought you so much joy creating new experiences. @h20skibum @Momof3gurlz What wonderful memories you're creating for your grandkids and you as well! @George C Our weather has just been updated to a high of 109. That's the real temp, not the "feels as" temp. And so it goes. 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is the first time that I'm not counting the days until our cruise with my cousin 4 weeks from now. I wish it was later, so that the "situation" will resolve or at least settle down until then.... As it is, most of airlines have cancelled their flights, causing havoc just in the middle of the busiest time for family vacations. No more camps or organized activities for kids starting mid-August, and lots of companies are closing their doors for a week, in order to allow workers to take time off at the same period. Friends of ours have lost their deposits or full payments since no flights are available. For now, we're booked on a flight TLV-ATH with the Greek company, which cancelled its flights... El Al still flies, but they don't fly on Saturdays, and their flight on Sunday is at 7PM, too risky for us (the cruise starts Monday). As I've posted before... waiting for the retaliations to be over and done with us.... 6 hours ago, sgmn said: I love how your California g/son gets to keep in close contact with his cousins through your SoF's Building great memories and strong family contacts Mark @h20skibum + 1 45 minutes ago, helen haywood said: @HBE4 Glad to hear you enjoyed your various adventures!

This was our second TA from Barcelona in 2017 on Freedom. Looking back at pictures, it seemed like it was yesterday. Great, great memories. We had terrific tours for both places. Make sure to check TripAdvisor for tours. Tenerife- Laguna for a stroll through historic district North coast and Icod de Los Vinos for Dragon Tree and wine/liqueur tasting La Orotava and walk to the House of the Bakconnies via the old, quaint town Head down to Puerto de la Cruz for a bite to eat and see the Lido area Visited Parque Garcia Sanabria with a walk through Santa Cruz Las Palmas- Pico de las Nieves and a short walk to one of the highest points on La Palma Fuencaliente, site of the San San Antonio Volcano crater, black sand beaches and small coves Salt pans of Las Palma and the Lighthouse 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Rare h20skibum Posted August 19 #127914 Share Posted August 19 Spent the day with our grandkids. They wanted to make cookies to take in their lunch tomorrow. Lots of chocolate chips. I went to the school to help my daughter finish the setup of her classroom for start of school tomorrow. I don’t think many realize how much time, and their own money, goes into getting things ready. I think this was the 4th time I was there to lend her a hand in hanging things. Everything looks very nice. 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MJSailors Posted August 19 #127921 Share Posted August 19 @DaniDanielle Thank you for thinking of us. We had torrential rain late last night with thunder and lightning. All I could think of was our porch and deck railing were getting a good rinsing ! No damage in our area , but I heard some areas on the South Fork (Hamptons) were affected. Possibly because it is located near the ocean. A beautiful day is forecasted for tomorrow-lower temps and low humidity ! @h20skibum Thank you for acknowledging the time,talent and funds that teachers invest in making their classrooms welcoming and comfortable places for their students. This effort is not only part of opening day preparation,but it is something teachers continue to do throughout the school year. I am retired from the field for 12 years now, but I do fondly remember many days of past Augusts getting ready for the school year ahead. I wish your daughter a pleasant,fufilling school year.

HBE4 Posted August 20 #127924 Share Posted August 20 Current temperature in my corner of NY is 70 degrees going down to 58 tonight. Tomorrow night the low temp is going to be 50. 😁 Sure sign that autumn must be near, I saw first pumpkin flavored donuts in the supermarket today. 7 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

People should be aware of the extra effort most teachers put into their job! When I worked in Special Ed, the population of kids I worked with didn't come with school supplies. We used to ask the Regular Ed teachers in June to collect notebooks that were barely written in by their students so they could be used during the school year by our students. Every little bit helps! 6 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
