Catherine leaned over the rail of her balcony suite to capture this image of tender boats loading passengers to go to the port of Cobo San Lucas from Navigator of the Seas.
The tendering process is generally very smooth and provides an excellent opportunity to take a picture of the "mother ship" as the tender pulls away.
Fun!
Enjoy,
Lois
One of the favorite restaurants on board RCCL ships is Izumi.
Catherine sent me this image of their meal aboard Navigator of the Seas.
Oh, this looks good!
Enjoy!

During their cruise aboard Navigator of the Seas, Catherine and Erica attended the Captain's Corner question and answer session.
On some of the other ships in the fleet, the entire executive team is present: Captain, Chief Engineer, Staff Captain, and Hotel Director.
This is a great way to ask questions about the cruise and operation of the ship.
It's a worthwhile event on board.
All the best,
Lois
Yogurt and cereal just looks so much more elegant when served like this on board a ship, doesn't it!
Enjoy!
Lois
Our daughter Catherine has accumulated enough cruise points with Royal Caribbean that she has been given a beautiful crystal block.
As a family, we have several of these, but not yet one from Navigator. So nice, Catherine!
All the best,
Lois
Catherine and Erica are aboard Royal Caribbean's Navigator of the Seas, once again enjoying all the great food and service.
Above is one of my favorites, the Cheese Plate. That's a whole meal for me.
There will be Mexican Ports this time. Images to come....
Lois
I do believe I see a ship beyond that door!
Catherine and Erica enjoyed another Royal Caribbean cruise, this time in the Pacific Ocean aboard Navigator of the Seas.
Images to come! Stay tuned!

I love color and design. This week we took the car through the car wash and I snapped pictures every few seconds as we went through the tunnel.
Finally, the dry cycle, then we were free to go.
We didn't have any of the dogs with us this time. I remember taking Erik through this car wash and he barked all the way through. The girls were always calmer. Baby Lily has never had the experience.
Next time. :)
All the best,
Lois
I managed to snap a few images inside P.F. Chang restaurant where our eldest son and twin granddaughters took us for dinner recently.
It had been years since we had eaten here. I found the food a bit too spicy compared to the descriptions.
It certainly was filling!
Thanks, Les, Sarah, and Sophie. Grandpa and I enjoyed seeing you all!
All the best,
Lois
My current Work in Process is a Navy Blue scarf crocheted in a textured stitch. The yarn is soft, washable, and extra warm. I'll be making at least one hat with the same yarn, too. When finished, the items will be available in the shop where there are already more than 300 items ready to ship. Come take a look!
What are you making, baking, growing this week?
All the best,
Lois
I wonder how much time we spend waiting. We wait in traffic, in line at the grocery, at the doctor's office....
I took today's picture while we were waiting for our car to be serviced. It wasn't a terribly long wait for an oil change and safety check. I guess it was about an hour.
But, I still wonder how much of our lives are spent waiting. If the wait is going to be long, I usually bring something to knit or crochet, but this time I just caught up on email on my phone.
I hope you don't have to wait too long for anything this week. :)
All the best,
Lois
Yesterday I got an alarm from the gate across our driveway. When I looked at the video, at first it appeared to be a false alarm....
But, suddenly, the culprit appeared!
For some reason, wasps like to hang out in our gate. Not a good spot!
I'm looking forward to the end of the season when they will be gone!
Happy Summer,
Lois
Of course, we take the pups out for Last Call Potty Time each evening before we head to bed.
That very sleepy Elsa is telling me, "I'm finished, Mom. Let's go inside."
Having Yellow Labs at night works very well. As much as we loved our Black Lab Erik, he was impossible to see at night. We'd let him outside and he would disappear into the night in the back yard, even with all of the outdoor lighting we have. Fortunately, he had excellent recall and came when we called him. We miss our sweet Erik who crossed the Rainbow Bridge last March. It's just not the same here without him, but we are so grateful for the wonderful memories of a sweet boy.
Sleep tight, sweet Elsa.
Love you,
Mom
Today we celebrate all who work as well as the unofficial end of Summer.
We hope you had a great Summer and enjoy the day with family and friends.
All the very best,
Lois
