Thank you again for all the prayers and good wishes.

Oh Terry, I am so sorry to hear your news,  sending my deepest condolences and prayers for peace and comfort.

Just got my new booster and got the flu shot. Ready for the cruise.  I was so tickled to see that WCB, Bill and Mary Ann will be on that cruise. I have followed many of their blogs but have never met them. Now I will go back and read the thread. 

[grapau27]

Good evening.

I have the new booster booked for Friday and flu jab on Monday.

I will ask for prayers for my DH Bill as he has developed bronchitis.  We spent the morning in the med center.  Prayers that he improves with the antibiotic he received.  I really don’t want to have to fly home from Greenland.

 

Oh Katherine, I sure pray that the antibiotics work and you DH can recover from bronchitis quickly and easily. 🙏

@smitty34877Oh Terry, you and Lou have been on my heart and my mind ever since he came home.  I was hoping you'd have more time with him than you did, but am glad he was where he wanted to be, surrounded by love and care.  Take all the time you need to gather your thoughts and do what needs to be taken care of over the next little while.  We're here for you with love and prayers.

[highscar]

I experienced similarly.   DH passed at home with grown children there. That means a lot to me.

@Lady Hudson

 

Katherine sending get well prayers for your DH. The medical center hopefully can help him.

Greetings from Juneau. I’ve had problems getting onto CC, especially when on the ship wifi. It’s been a nice week and we’re enjoying the Solstice. Since sailing Celebrity 6 years ago we are very happy to see that they now have mostly Indonesian and Filipino crew! I feel like it’s a big improvement. 
 

I know I’ve missed a lot, and am saddened to see just now that @smitty34877’s Lou has passed. Terry my deepest condolences. 

 

This morning we sailed up Endicott Arm and to Dawes Glacier.

@smitty34877 My deepest condolences on the passing of your husband. I'm so glad you were able to have him at home. Hang in there - you are a strong woman.

Terry you have done an amazing job.  You don’t feel or see it as grief is now your partner. Take time to reflect and know Lou knew you were there caring for him. Prayers for you and your family are on their way from Daily friends. 

[ottahand7]

@smitty34877 Terrie, I was saddened to read of the passing of your dear husband Lou.  I am so glad to hear that you were able to get him home to allow him to pass with family around and in familiar space.   May God comfort you and your family.  

 

@Lady Hudson  Oh my,   I hope that your DH responds to the antibiotics.  I pray that you can continue to see more of Greenland.

Terry,

 

I'm so sorry to hear that Lou has passed. I don't post often but read everything every day, and he (and your family) have been in my prayers. Hoping that the memories are good.

 

Take care,

Laura

Hah!   @0106 Tina, we were right!   We had Classic Falafel on May 31 and today we had just normal old Falafel.  No wonder I had all the pictures.  

[CrabbyPatti]

@smitty34877  I am so sorry to hear of your husbands passing.  I am glad you were able to have him at home.  May your memories sustain you.  You are in my prayers.

 

     Thank you all who have expressed condolences on the passing of my father.  It is still hard to realize he is gone.  Still get tearful thinking about it.

     We were discussing flowers for his memorial knowing he would not want us to "spend" much.  So I am making him a bouquet of Peppermint.................when I was just a baby, he and his father had a "still" that  distilled peppermint and spearmint and extracted the oil for the local farmers.  Same oil that we use to flavor candy and baking!  So I think the peppermint bouquet will be fitting for his memory.

 

Prayers and cyber hugs to all of you.

Terry @smitty34877, I am so sorry to read of Lou passing this morning. I’m sure you are glad you worked so hard to get him home and even have visitors. Condolences to you and your family. 

[Sharon in AZ]

Good evening everyone. I wanted to share Craig’s cheeseburger from the MDR on the Volendam this past May. 
 

 

Why he had both chips and fries is a mystery. They do make a good burger. 
 

Today was spent with DM taking her to an appointment and then lunch. I asked her about an old genealogy book that a family member had complied so I stayed at her apartment looking through old pictures and the book. This all started when my cousin posted old pictures on Facebook so I wanted to figure out who was who. It’s all very interesting since she was one of 13 children. 
 

I have been wanting to make falafel for some time and have been researching recipes. One of these days I will actually make them. 
 

Have a good evening.
