Corn Hole on the Glass Bridge

 Good morning,

This sure looks like fun!  It's a game of Corn Hole on the Glass Bridge of Independence of the Seas. 

 The game is between crew members and guests.  What fun!

Thanks for the images, Catherine!

Love you,

Mom

Life is Just a Bowl of Cherries

 Good morning,

Are you singing that title yet?  I'll be singing it all day.  ;)

We've been doing a great job of having healthy snacks (most of the time) as we watch TV in the evening.  

OK, there are some evenings we have ice cream, but, hey, we are trying!

Front Porch Flowers

 Good morning,

Here are today's blossoms that I grew from seeds.   

 These are growing on my front porch.

It's amazing how easy this is to enjoy Mother Nature's beauty.  I just toss some seeds in the pots on the porch and wait.  

So simple;  so pretty!

Salmon on the Grill

 Good morning,

Kjell prepared salmon on the grill and it was terrific.

He wrapped the salmon in aluminum foil with lime, peppers, spices, and olive oil. 

 A short time on the grill was monitored by his food thermometers - see left side of image.

He has the cook job here!

Yum!

Freak Storm and Flooding

 Good morning,

Two days ago, just after 5 PM, we received this message on our phones.  

 

The message was the real thing!  We were right in the middle of this freak storm.  Fortunately, we were home and safe.  The storm continued for about three hours.  The severity of this storm was totally out of the ordinary here.

And, this is Lily during the storm while there was deafening, prolonged thunder right over our home.  She and her two sisters weren't bothered at all by it.  However, if I had opened a bag of chips, she would have suddenly been sitting right in front of me, staring at me until I shared some with her.

According to the news, sadly, there was one death and there were several injuries due to the storm. 

As of last night, it's still raining here....

I hope it's dry and comfy wherever you are.

All the best,

Lois

Gas Prices

 

Gas Prices:  The go up, they come down, they go up, they come down....

 

 

 

 

Any Excuse for a Road Trip

 Good morning,

Soooo, as I mentioned a couple of weeks ago, we got a new car.  

We make regular trips for doc appointments and to the post office, but we decided to go further this time.... 

 

This time we drove all the way to Bob Evans - not really that far, but further than the post office. 

And, we had a very tasty lunch.  I had the grilled chicken and fruit salad.  Kjell had a giant omelette.  Yum!

 

We need more road trips!
