grapau27 Posted August 22, 2022 #51 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Just now, Cruzin Terri said: Good morning to all Thank you Rich for the Daily and the Fleet Report. i like the days especially Be An Angel Day. With that in mind, someone was our Guardian Angel this morning. As I mentioned in last night’s post, our mailbox did not survive the storm. it was hanging off the side. This morning when we got up and I looked out the window, it was back together again. I have two people in mind who may have fixed it and will have to thank one or both of them. I have not heard from the tooth fairy in a long time and would like to leave it that way. As for Southern Hemisphere Hoddie Hoo Day, never heard of it and had to look it up. I have to pass on the meal since peppers and my tummy do not like each other The wine is nice and while it may not be the exact thing, we were in Montepulciano this past Spring and tasted many of their wines and they are wonderful. Pass on the drink. The quote is interesting. We were in Cartagena during our cruise this past Spring. DH and I left the ship but only got as far as the port, We were so tired from just having had Covid that we turned around and went back to the ship. We just could not do it. Thank you Roy for the cares and celebration list. Prayers for those who are ill and have Covid Cheers for those celebrating. @StLouisCruisersgood luck at your PT appointment. Hopefully they will be able to help with the leg problem. @superomaHappy Birthday to your DH @grapau27Happy Anniversary to you and Pauline. Hope everyone has a great day. God Bless, Terri Thank you Terri. Graham. 6 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Quartzsite Cruiser Posted August 22, 2022 #55 Share Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) Good morning from a rainy central Texas. So far, we've received 0.14 inch of rain, and nothing like the rain that the DFW has received. Because I'm a little late today, I'm going to post my pictures of our one visit to Cartagena, Spain, first. We were there with @rafinmd Roy, on the Prinsendam on November 4, 2017. We walked around town and visited a couple of museums, the Roman theater, and the archeological site on top of the hill. Cartagena from the Prinsendam. Walking into town, the National Museum of Underwater Archeology, and across the street from the museum. Walking into the older part of town. There was a festival that day, and I think they were celebrating their Roman heritage. The Roman Theater My Latin isn't good enough to translate this sign. More scenes of the festival The Military Museum These are from the hill with the archeology museum. Torre Linterna The old Plaza de Toros The new amphitheater next to the ancient Roman Theater. Overlooking Cartagena One of the many peacocks The elevator to reach the top of the hill There were three ships in town that day, Thompson Dream aka Westerdam, which sadly has gone to the breakers, Veendam and Prinsendam. Your can see the Thompson Dream in the upper left had corner of the picture of the two theaters. Our two favorite HAL ships. We also visited the House of fortune, which is below street level and show how the ancient Romans lived. The pictures are not that good.

Rare rafinmd Posted August 22, 2022 #57 Share Posted August 22, 2022 In 2010 I was one of the very last passengers to leave a Cruise West ship before the line went our of business. I got to the ship by train and ferry. On August 22, 2010, the sun went down up as the Canadian was in Western Ontario on the way to Winnipeg.

Cruising-along Posted August 22, 2022 #58 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Good morning all! Another warm, sunny day in the PNW. I'm taking a break from applesauce and will spend the afternoon with the grandsons. We may take them to a splash park or pool. Then it's back to the applesauce tomorrow when I should be able to finish it. Saving some for pies, especially for a large family picnic this weekend. Our family kept the tooth fairy very busy this year. At one time grandson #2 had 5 missing teeth! It was a challenge for him to eat much 🙂 There are lots of angels here. I'll pass on the meal and wine, but the drink would be good. We were in Cartagena 3 times in 2019 when we were on our 75-day anniversary trip. Still, we found something different to do each time, always on our own, no tour necessary. It was easy to walk to everything. We went to the Roman Theater, the Roman Forum, walked the Punic Wall (3rd century BC) to the House of Fortune, and took the 45-minute tourist bus around the city. Not sure what we would have done if we'd gone there a 4th time that trip! As you can tell, ancient ruins are why we love the Med. Debbie @dfishglad you found that paint hardener. @superomaHappy Birthday to your DH! Gerry @ger_77I'm glad you're starting to feel more like yourself -- take it easy and don't try to do too much. Graham @grapau27Happy 41st anniversary to you and Pauline! First photos are from the 45-minute Tourist Bus and other walks around the town. Our ship the beautiful Nieuw Statendam, can't wait to sail her again in a few weeks! Next are photos from the Teatro Romano Cartagena Part of the stage And the Roman Forum This was an oven for baking bread. Some from the House of Fortune. Amazing how the colors are still so vivid. And crypts The ones on the left have been uncovered (photo above) and the ones on the right have not. 22 9 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JazzyV Posted August 22, 2022 #60 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Good morning. Thanks for the Fleet Report/Daily. I'll try to be an Angel for someone today. No tooth fairy visit for me hopefully! Hoodie Hoo! Interesting quote. I like the meal and drink. The wine sounds good but a little pricey for me. I have not been to Cartagena, Spain, only Cartagena, Colombia. Thanks for the photos. It's cloudy and less warm today, after a stormy day yesterday. We got over 1.5" of rain, which we needed. No big plans today for me. I didn't feel well over the weekend; stomach upset and headache. I even took a home Covid test (negative). I think it's the new cholesterol pill that was added; my symptoms are listed as side effects. I am going to hold it for a few days and see how I feel. @grapau27 Happy Anniversary to you and Pauline! 🍾 👩❤️👨 Lovely wedding pictures of you two. @superoma Happy Birthday to your DH! @StLouisCruisers Good luck at PT and I hope they can help. @ger_77 Good to hear you're feeling better. I know Wayne appreciates you and DH being there for him. Don't overdo it. @Cruzin Terri That was nice of a neighbor to fix your mailbox. @Quartzsite Cruiser I'm glad you're not having any flooding in your area. @Cruising-along Great photos!

mamaofami Posted August 22, 2022 #61 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Good morning everyone. We are hoping for rain this afternoon as we really need it. Love all the pictures since I haven’t been to Spain. Im doing battle with insurance again. This time it’s my supplement policy which has denied telemedicine visits by mistake. Hopefully my one call,will remedy the situation. Stay safe everyone, Carol 23 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Quartzsite Cruiser Posted August 22, 2022 #62 Share Posted August 22, 2022 (edited) Good morning again. It is raining again and this time thunder has been added. The forecast is for rain today and tomorrow morning. It is predicted to slow down or stop here and in Dallas by the time we have to leave for DH's appointment at UT Southwestern in the afternoon. One advantage of the clouds and rain over the heat and sun is we can now open the blinds and look out. I will be the first one to admit that I am no angel no matter how hard I try. Sometimes, the imp in me just takes over. Happy Hoodie Hoo day to our friends in the southern hemisphere. I also had to look up the day, and I learned we get to celebrate Hoodie Hoo Day on February 9 to help chase away winter. It's been quite a while since we had to round up coins for the tooth fairy to leave, and my wonderful dentist is doing everything he can to prevent the tooth fairy from visiting me. I like the Suzanne Collins quote. We'll pass on the meal and the drink. I prefer strawberry daiquiris. The wine sounds nice. @superoma Please wish your DH a HAPPY BIRTHDAY for us. @grapau27 Graham, enjoyed seeing your wedding pictures. Thank you for your comments about my pictures. @dfish Debbie, I don't envy you painting your house. I have painted several of our houses over the years, but that does not appeal to me now. Besides, our ceilings in the great room and our bedroom are sloped from 9 feet to 17 feet, with crown molding. That is more than I want to tackle. @Lady Hudson Katherine, I cleaned out my side of the closet last year and this year, but I still have several formals, just in case. @StLouisCruisers Sandi, I hope they come up with a plan to help alleviate your leg pain. @kb4683, @smitty34877, and @Cruising-along Thank you for your pictures. I'm still amazed so many of us go to the same place, and see such different places and things. @ger_77 Gerry, I'm glad you are feeling close to normal. Please, don't try to do everything at once. The chores will still be there when you feel better and stronger.🤣 There's that imp again! 😈 @Cruzin Terri Terri, how nice of your neighbors to fix your mailbox. @JazzyV Vanessa, I hope you feel better. @mamaofami Carol, keeping my fingers crossed 🤞 that one call is all it will take to get the insurance mess corrected. The rain is getting heavier, and we're probably going to get a little more bad weather as the satellite dish just lost the signal. I was expecting a sore arm from the shingles shot Saturday, and I did get it, along with a red lump that was warm to the touch. What I was not expecting was getting the same reaction to the shot yesterday that I got from my last Covid booster. It hit me like a ton of bricks about 24 hours after the shot. Luckily, it didn't last as long, and maybe it was because I took Advil for the headache that was part of the reaction. I had wanted to comment on several posts yesterday, but even after the Advil kicked in, I was mentally too tired to comment. After a good night's sleep, I feel fine now, but I'm not looking forward to the second shingles shot. Our theory is with all the vaccines we've had in the past 18 months, my body reacted to a new invasion, but I guess it means the vaccine is working. I just checked and we've received a total of 0.61 inch of rain this morning. The grass will love it and hopefully, it will put an end to wildfires in the areas getting rain.

StLouisCruisers Posted August 22, 2022 #64 Share Posted August 22, 2022 I've been back a while. After discussion and examination, the therapist feels I have a small Baker's cyst, something my PA, the NP (nurse practitioner), and ultrasound technician ruled out. The right knee is about 2 cm larger than the left. He showed me exercises to do, and sent them to me by email so I can watch videos of others doing them and so I don't forget any. If I do this for a month or two and it doesn't get better, I should see an orthopedist. I hope he's right and things do improve. 🤞 Thanks to Rich and Roy, Debbie, Ann and Dixie for our Daily today. Prayers for all our Care people, and a shout out to all those on the Celebration list. Love Be An Angel day! I do remember the old tooth fairy days. And hope our southern friends enjoy welcoming spring as they chase off winter. Terry @smitty34877when in 2018 were you in Cartagena, Spain on Prinsendam? We were there the month of Sept. 2018 on Prinsendam. Most of my favorite photos were take our first time there in 2014 on Celebrity Constellation. In 2018 as the Prinsendam docked we saw a submarine come into the harbor. Something I didn't see our first time here My favorite photo of the peacocks. The Elegant Explorer, Prinsendam 2018 Mom, Dad and the kiddies all dressed up for the festival that weekend. In November, 2014 we tried Celebrity Constellation out for a transatlantic back to the states. There were many things we enjoyed about the ship, but we didn't care for the food or price of a bottle of wine. This photo was the cover of my cruise photo book. It's the monument to the Heroes of Cavite and Santiago de Cuba. The date was November 8 so fewer tourists were in town crowding the streets. The historic Town Hall. You almost walk right by this church but it's beautiful inside. The Church of Santo Domingo.

Rare Crazy For Cats Posted August 22, 2022 #66 Share Posted August 22, 2022 Good Afternoon All, thanks for the daily fleet report. We finally are having some much needed rain. I’m hoping it lingers for awhile so that the plants get a good drink. @dfish the recipes and pictures look delicious, I’ll take a bowl full please. I spent about 25 minutes on hold with HAL and only got the promise of a return call today, heard that before. I’ve been trying since 8/8.

But I will gladly take that to avoid nasty shingles which everyone but me has had in our family. @StLouisCruisersglad you have a diagnosis, this is what I had and it did clear up, ice, elevation are your friends.

Quartzsite Cruiser Posted August 22, 2022 #75 Share Posted August 22, 2022 In the past two hours, we've had two more waves of very heavy rain come through. We have now received 2 inches of rain today, and we will probably get a little more this afternoon. Our rain chances will diminish but possible rain is still predicted through Friday. Our bushes and grass should be happy, and the weeds should be easier to pull later this week. The small front yard is full of Johnson grass which is an invasive grass that is just about impossible to kill or completely weed out. If I can get most of it this week, then we won't have much grass in the front yard. I'll either reseed it or put down sod if I can find it. Even then, it will still probably be a losing battle again next year, but I'll try. The only good thing I can say about the Johnson grass is it's green, 🤣 2 hours ago, StLouisCruisers said: I've been back a while.

Some photos of Montepulciano in Tuscany where todays wine is grown. Until I had the second Covid vaccine, I never had a reaction to a shot except a sore arm. I was expecting a bad reaction to the next shingles vaccine shot, but only a sore arm with this one. I bet I even get a reaction now to the flu shot next month. These reactions may be another unexpected side affect of Covid related things. Still, I agree that a few hours of feeling bad with a reaction is a small price to pay to prevent getting shingles, the flu or Covid.
