[rafinmd]

Thank you for the Labor (Labour) Day Daily, Rich.  Books are extremely valuable and I try to fight procrastination when I can.  I love the Menken quote which I think may be truer now than ever.  The meal suggestion sounds very nice and I have visited Civitavecchia several times including once on the Elegant Explorer.

Welfare of furloughed crews
Western (Especially BC and Lake Tahoe) wildfires
cat shepard’s friend undergoing chemo for stage four cancer
New Zealand terrorist attack victims

Good morning.  Thanks for the Daily Report.

We had a thunderstorm roll through a little while ago and I didn't want to get out of bed.  But I think it's over now.

Happy Labour Day.  Fight procrastination, good idea.  Read a good book - great suggestion.

I've heard that quote before, too bad it's true.

The meal sounds interesting.  Hope the drink and wine are good too.

Love Rome, hope to go back someday.

Prayers for everyone on the Care List.  Cheers for all the celebrations.

Stay safe.

For today I have a webcam sunrise.  I've been watching for Crystal Serenity's arrival in Miami:

Thank you for today’s Daily, Rich! A great combo of days!

 

Thank you for keeping our lists, Roy! Morning Dailyite family!

 

Happy Anniversary Sandi & DH! @StLouisCruisersHere’s to many more wonderful years!
 

Debbie, @dfishsorry to read that Donna won’t be able to cruise with you. I am sure it’s a huge disappointment for both of you.

 

Looking forward to learning more about the meal and drink. Today, I have to get out into the garden. The dead flowers are starting to outnumber the ones in full bloom. No clue what is in store for supper.  I will have to rummage around to see. 
 

Prayers for all who need our support. Cheers to all who are celebrating! Stay well everyone!

Kia Ora Signature Marlborough Sauvingnon Blanc

This New Zealand SB has very good ratings and a very reasonable price. I found it online for as low as $12.99.

Wine Enthusiast: This is a fruity yet balanced Sauvignon that offers bright, zippy tones of lemon, lime, grapefruit, peach, passionfruit and grass. It shows lifted acidity and a chalky texture, making it a refreshing, summery drop.

Happy Labor Day. Thank you for the Daily, the Lists and the Recipes to come.

 

Reading is one of my favorite things to do. Unfortunately I do procrastinate at times.

 

I agree with what Roy said about the quote.

 

The meal definitely sounds interesting.

 

The port is another one on my bucket list.

 

It 64 degrees and raining this early morning in North Georgia.

 

DH had another good night's sleep, so hopefully he will report that he feels like he is improving. Not sure how to help him with the breathing...he gets completely winded just walking to the bathroom.

 

Prayers and praises for those on our lists.

[JAM37]

@StLouisCruisers Happy Anniversary, Sandi and DH. Have a wonderful day. 

[jimgev]

Happy Anniversary @StLouis Cruiser!

[Heartgrove]

Good Morning everyone and Happy Labor Day. Thank you Rich for the Daily Report, and thank you Roy for the Cares Report.

 

I think I will wait for tomorrow to celebrate Procrastination Day. ☺️ Hopefully we can once again disembark in Civitavecchia after our cruise on the Oosterdam this time next year.

[Quartzsite Cruiser]

Good morning from central Texas, and a Happy Labor Day to everyone.  I will admit to procrastinating, especially when it's something I don't want to do.  😄  I love to read, and I now have quite a collection (2 year's worth) of books to take to the book exchange when it's a little safer.

 

Sadly, today's quote is more true than ever.

 

We'll pass on the meal, drink and wine.

 

@JAM37  Julia it's good to know your DH is sleeping better, and hope his breathing improves son.

 

We've visited today's port and Rome many times, and I'll look for pictures later.

Good morning.  It's a daily fight Procrastination Day here everyday.  Getting more lazy in my old age.  I read daily, love the feel of a real book in my hands.  Happy Labor Day everyone.  @StLouisCruisersHappy Anniversary.  The meal sounds interesting. 

Prayers and toasts to our lists.

Stay safe, social distance, and wear your mask.

Yorsh:

Yorsh is a Russian mixed drink consisting of beer thoroughly mixed with an ample quantity of vodka. It is traditionally drunk in a social setting, typically with a toast followed by downing a full glass of it at one go. Vodka is a neutral spirit which does not greatly alter the flavor of the beer, but does greatly increase its alcohol content.Wikipedia
Ingredients

    2 oz Vodka
    Beer
    Glass: Beer Mug

Directions

    Fill a chilled beer mug with any beer.
    Pour vodka over top and serve without stirring.

Good idea to read a book today.The quote is, unfortuneatly, very true.

I love the meal suggestion.

It's another beautiful morning here with predictions of scattered afternoon thunderstorms.

Enjoy the holiday today and stary safe.

Thank you for the Daily Report.

[Crazy For Cats]

Good Morning Everyone, thanks for the daily report.  I’ll pass on today’s meal suggestion.  We will have chicken tonight.  Yesterday’s yard work was delayed on account of rain.  I think I do get out there today.  @dfishsorry to hear about Donna’s cancellation.  I hope that everyone has a good day today.

[puppycanducruise]

@StLouisCruisersHappy Anniversary!

[kazu]

Thanks for the Daily, Rich and our Monday smile 🙂 

 

Good combination of days.  I started the morning off early fighting procrastination when I added a tour to my spread sheet from a post later last night. I celebrate read a book every day 😉 

 

Happy Labour Day everyone!

 

 

It’s also New Year’s for our Jewish CC friends - Rosh Hashanah - so for them:

 

 

oh that quote is so true, sadly.  The meal sounds really interesting and a Sauvignon Blanc from Down Under sounds great!

 

Civitavecchia is just just a stop for a lot of people as they head to Rome.  If you have been or don’t want the drive, Civi offers a lot to see.  It has it’s own ruins, charm and some nice sites and restaurants and cafes.

 

We’re always talking about wines, drinks & drinking and when I saw this one, I just had to share:

 

 

Prayers for everyone on the Care list & for those that need them and 🥂 to those on the Celebratory / Shout Out list.

 

Have a great Labour Day everyone!!!!!!

 

 

Stay safe and please don’t forget your 😷

Happy Anniversary @StLouisCruisers

 

[dfish]

Good morning, everyone!

 

@StLouisCruisers  Happy Anniversary!

 

 

Well, I thought I was packed for my cruise yesterday, but I need to make some changes in the big bag.  It is always something.

 

Today's meal sounds good, but too many carbs for me.   I hope others can enjoy it.
