Rare Denise T Posted April 15, 2023 #51 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Good morning, everyone. Thank you for all of the wonderful information and pictures. This is my first time posting here. I love the vibe. Today in Pennsylvania it is raining. No outdoor planned today. Tomorrow I will venture out to the garden center and pick up supplies. My plan today is to finish grading student papers, laundry, and get the taxes done. I continue with my countdown, 43 days until I board the Nieuw Amsterdam in Whittier for my Alaskan cruise. 26 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
StLouisCruisers Posted April 15, 2023 Author #52 Share Posted April 15, 2023 I just looked at the cruisemapper map tab on my computer and see that the Rotterdam has changed directions and seems to be heading away from Plymouth England. Anyone on board know what's going on? A ship in distress nearby? Maybe it's nothing and they have so much time to get to port they're doing doughnuts at sea. Just curious. 14 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Thanks 🙂 2 hours ago, JazzyV said: apparently after laying down all night, there is discharge from higher up where the injection was (I knew it!), but when I saw the doctor after being upright for a while it was from lower down. So I adjusted the gauze pad and rewrapped the leg. Darn on that discharge not being spotted in the right place when. You were at the Ortho 😔 2 hours ago, JazzyV said: You have quite the green thumb! I wish I was closer to get a couple of tomato plants.

Heartgrove Posted April 15, 2023 #62 Share Posted April 15, 2023 (edited) Thank you Sandi, thank you Debbie, thank you Vanessa, thank you Ann, and thank you Dixie for all your work. And thank you everyone for being here! Happy Saturday! Some photos off of my phone from our stay in Venice last October before heading to the Oosterdam later that week for the Tranatlantic. Our first evening in Venice after disembarking the MSC Splendida in Genoa. Fantastic restaurant, "Trattoria Povoledo", along the Grand Canal near the train station. The quintessential photo subject of Venice. The smaller white building in the middle was our hotel, "Hotel Filu", along the Canale de Cannaregio. It actually hosts a YouTube 24-hour webcam as well. The view the next morning from our hotel looking at the Ponte delle Guglio, and Grand Canal in the distance. My brother's favorite Ventian caffe on St. Mark's Square. The Caffe Florian. In honor of my brother. From our daytrip across the lagoon to Murano. And one of the 16 trains we rode on our trip. This one from Venizia Santa Lucia to Milano Centralle.

durangoscots Posted April 15, 2023 #64 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Good morning!!! So glad to hear that people and luggage made it to FLL. I hate to start a vacation stressed out and worrying. Will try to watch sail away. Cold this morning. Temps were not too bad.... but the wind was brisk and sharp. It is supposed to warm up tomorrow and I will postpone rug washing until then.So today..... just more sorting. Taxes are done so I intend to work slowly and maybe read this afternoon. Don't feel like pushing it. No reason to that I can see. Back later. Susan 18 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We’re here and have a large number of CC “family” to thank for guidance and support. Years ago I took some navigation classes at the community college sailing school and the instructor (Walt Gleckler) drilled into our heads to seek local knowledge. (He took a 1 year sabbatical and sailed his boat with his family around the South Pacific and studied the vocal music of the areas.) Anyway, you all provided that local knowledge and we are grateful. We meet our Uber in a few minutes. Gotta go. Here’s a picture of Rover1. I am curious about the orange striping. Did you apply it? Just what I am looking for. - Jack 12 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

JazzyV Posted April 15, 2023 #71 Share Posted April 15, 2023 (edited) I got a lot done, considering that I sat around all winter and the knee. I don't want to push it. So now it's relax the rest of the day or do little things to get ready. @StLouisCruisers I have Annie's @marshhawk cruise on the list I sent to Eva @superoma. Also a couple of events on that list. @Denise T Welcome to the Fleet Report and Daily! We hope to see you here often. @Heartgrove Great photos from Venice! Thanks for sharing.

kochleffel Posted April 15, 2023 #72 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Is it possible to appreciate husbands if you don't have or want one? I have always found Anaïs Nin's writing interesting but not always comprehensible. Income tax is not due today, which is a good think since my return isn't finished. Around here, sometimes every day seems to be laundry day. I cook salmon that way occasionally, but I really prefer it sautéed. No on the cocktail but I might like the wine. I was booked for a cruise from Venice in 2021 that was cancelled (after being shifted to embarking from Ravenna) and when I rebooked for 2022, I chose one embarking from Athens. Dinner last night was sautéed chicken, from a recipe on Julia Child's very first TV series. I had planned to bake it with a sauce, but it was 86° outside and I didn't want to use the oven. Tonight will likely be the chicken again, with baked potato--it's not as hot today--and salad. I found out why I felt so awful after mowing yesterday: there was an air-quality warning here, in addition to the wildfire warning that started on Thursday. Neither is in effect for today. Garden club: I have in mind to rebuild a raised bed alongside the (real) walk to the front door. It's only 4 inches high and the timbers are rotting, plus the soil is compacted and not very fertile. The question is whether to do it now or in the fall. I'm leaning toward the fall, both because there is too much else to do now, and because there are clumps of narcissi that will not have matured before other plants need to be in the ground. If I wait, I can dig and store the bulbs; perennials will have to be lifted, but only briefly. This raised bed was built by the previous owners, probably in the 1950s. I've added more in the back, because the soil here is shallow and rocky, especially on my street where the lots were all filled, it seems mainly with rock, to make them level. 10 1 16 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Seasick Sailor Posted April 15, 2023 #74 Share Posted April 15, 2023 Good morning Dailyites. I haven't posted in a few days and need to catch up on everyone's lives. I have been helping a friend clean out her mother's boxes (she passed away in November) as well as my friends boxes for a living estate sale yesterday and today. She has boxes and boxes of jewelry we put aside to sort thru later and we will have a jewelry sale at my house in a few weeks. I emptied out boxes of crystal, silver, dishes, lladro and Polish pottery, paintings. They've lived in their home since the 50's and she had boxes she never unpacked when they came back from Germany. I took 3 girlfriends with me to help set tables up and lay things out. It's been crazy! We all "shopped" as we unpacked the boxes and came home with a trunk full of stuff.. I will take extra time tomorrow and read over cares, prayers, and celebrations. I know we have sail away today for Sharon and several other Daily members. Hoping everyone has fair winds and following seas. 20 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
