Back from the poinsettia show . I did get my hotdog with relish. They had them bagged and wrapped to go.

Those poinsettias are one gorgeous display 🙂

Ideally, the hot dogs were next to the exit so you could eat them either outdoors or in your car.

Our Saint Paul condo has been sold! It closed yesterday but the cash did not show up in the bank until late in the day. I did not want to jinx things by posting before we had the $$. That is a large burden finally off our shoulders!

 

Excellent news!  So glad for you.  Something HAD to go right in 2020 😉

I'm going to float a trial balloon here.  How would people feel about a "Dailyite" Meet and Greet.  We cannot do it in person, but it would have to be something like Zoom.  I'm thinking Boxing Day might be a reasonable time to do it, and it would need to stay open for a while to accommodate multiple time zones.  Any thoughts?

That could be fun! Put some faces to the names and maybe realize we have sailed together without even knowing it. I might scare everyone though; haven't had a haircut or hardly shaved since the pandemic started. It is my social distancing makeover!

Not quite at the exit, but east to take along.

[Overhead Fred]

@puppycanducruise - With the talk of Highway 21, I am guessing you are somewhere between Sarnia and the start of the Bruce Peninsula?

[CrabbyPatti]

Roy, I like your idea of a zoom meeting.  It would be fun to meet and chat with other cruise fans, especially since we are all landlocked at the moment!

Thanks Jacqui!

 

2020 was certainly our year for real estate transactions - 3 closings - I'm going to miss interacting with our agent, she is great!

Thank you for the Daily, Rich.  Love all 3 days, the quote, and the meal suggestion is also fantastic.  My alternative is Chilled Coconut Nutmeg Soup, Roast Striploin of Beef, and Cherry Crisp.  as served on the Prinsendam December 1, 2013. 

 

For those who think Covid only affects the elderly, yesterday Maryland lost a 9 year old.

Roy, could you please add Dutch poster Ine - a very nice and helpful poster from The Netherlands - on your care list? Specifically, her husband Ton has to undergo emergency by-pass (heart) surgery next week in Amsterdam, thanks!

[Lcubed]

@cat shepard I never heard Ixora called Jungle Geranium before. I shall have to remember that. 🙂You said it's windy in the Keys but is it warm? It's chilly here in coastal central FL, had to turn the heat on. Is that laughter from Canada I'm hearing?

[Seasick Sailor]

Here's Sophie! She is sweet, adorable, inquisitive and wants to be on my lap. She's only been with us 2.5 hours!

Awwwwwwww ❤️ 

 

I can see her kneading in the last pic 😉 

[Quartzsite Cruiser]

Joy, she is a beautiful cat.  She reminds us our daughter’s calico, Patches, who joined us in the early 1980s.  Hope Sophie is as sweet as Patches was.

Does anybody know if you can do zoom on an iPad or would I have to fire up my laptop? Might be fun!

Awwww!!  So sweet, thanks for sharing her with us!  How old is she?  She looks right at home on your lap. 🙂

I like it better on a laptop but it can definitely be done on an IPAD.

Yes!  Just need to download zoom first.  

[bennybear]

Good day and thanks Rich, Roy et al!   DH was hooking up new internet and cable so I was locked out.  Love the idea of a zoom meeting!   

[Vict0riann]

The first couple of times I "zoomed" I had no trouble with my computer, (DD uses her iPhone), but  the last two times I have tried I couldn't get audio on my computer.  It said I had to call a long distance (toll) number.  I will see if I can figure out the iPad,  if that will work, otherwise my  iphone.

 

We went out to Butchart's for lunch today.  It is looking very pretty, but deserted... Even the garbage bins are decorated..
