Top Tier Event - Freedom of the Seas

 Good morning,

Catherine snapped this image while at the Top Tier Event aboard Freedom of the Seas.  This is an opportunity for a question and answer session with the Captain for very frequent cruisers.  I recognize the lounge aboard Freedom where this event is taking place.

Catherine tells us that's Captain Materiz from Stockholm, Sweden.  He joined RCCL in 2001 and Viking Serenade was his first ship.  Kjell and I didn't know him when Kjell was working.  

It's fun to see all of these images from Freedom.  I hope you're enjoying them, too.  Thank you, Catherine, for sharing them with us.

Love you,

Mom

Paradise Island, Bahamas

 Good morning,

There in the distance is the famous Atlantis on Paradise Island, Nassau, Bahamas.  

Catherine took this image from her balcony aboard Freedom of the Seas.

She stayed on board the ship this time since we've visited Atlantis many times before.  It's one of those places you should see at least once if you get to Nassau.

 An interesting tidbit of information:  Paradise Island was called Hog Island until it was developed as a tourist destination.   

Enjoy!

Nassau Party Boat

 Good morning,

Our daughter, Catherine, took this image from the balcony of her suite aboard Freedom of the Seas.

This Nassau Party Boat has gotten a new paint job since we've been to Nassau.  It looks like camouflage to me.  ;) 

Enjoy!

Work in Process - Rich Warm Browns

 Good morning,

The work in process this week is a large afghan blanket in rich, warm browns.  

Since I took this image, I've finished all 80 squares and am now crocheting them together.  This one will be stunning!

When finished, this will be available in the shop.  There are many finished blankets and other items in the shop ready to ship now:  https://EvensensProductions.Etsy.com.

What are you making, baking, growing this week?

All the very best,

Lois

Dinner at Chops - Freedom of the Seas

 Good morning,

Ah, yes, dinner at Chops aboard Freedom of the Seas.  This is their fantastic rack of lamb.  

Lobster bisque came first.

  

Everything on this menu is fantastic!

Ah, yes, memories.  Thank you for sharing your images, Catherine!

Love you,

Mom & Dad

Casino Royale - Freedom of the Seas

 Good morning, 

Catherine and Erica are aboard Freedom of the Seas and are sharing their images with us.

Kjell and I lived aboard Freedom for six years before his retirement from Royal Caribbean.  We are seeing many changes on board since we left in 2016.  

Beautiful!

Enjoy,

Lois
