Good morning!!!!

[toppop52]

booked a 100 percent refundable cruise to Newport RI and Bermuda in June, out of Liberty NJ.
Been there, done this several times, betting on the world being safer by then.
Got a nice balcony room on Penthouse floor, midships, so most stable part of ship. They had one
left of a room with an extra wide ocean view. I have until mid March to cancel.
Have been on this Celebrity Summit several times before, including the Royal Suite with my late wife.
That was the time I let her pick the room. The grand piano was nice and she actually played it.
Now I'm among the commoners but in a better than average room. One of my criteria was to hide the bedroom
so one person could take a nap and other could be up.

now I just have to find someone to take with me.

We are not rescheduling our Bermuda cruise from last year unless and until this pandemic is under better control. I won’t enjoy 10 days of cruising and sight seeing with a mask and social distancing.

DIL just called and she is scheduled for an endoscopy, today.
I hope she told the doctor to tell the camera crew to at the very least wash their feet.

.06” of rain so far, temp went up 13 degrees since lunch time, 53 out now. I have no idea what the next few days of weather will be, there are at least four different forecasts. Picked up some groceries from Food Lion, had them include a rotisserie chicken, it finished four minutes before she brought it out, got home and cut it up for sandwiches, I had Gouda and Mayo with dill pickle, chicken was warm enough to melt the cheese. Man that was Gouda eating!
Who says you can’t put the smoke back in?

Hope everything goes well for your DIL L4N

Crazy warm 59 outside...but still have some snow on the ground...hated to come inside for lunch. Sounds like I should have driven to Salisbury rather than my apple and cheese.

Mostly, hope you get a nap today.

Ken, very cool icicles.

Buppies, sorry about your water situation...maybe the beach is trying to tell you to stay there.

Good visit at the dentist this morning. Talked with a new hygienist...3 young children: one in 1st grade and 1 in kindergarten...she and her husband both work...she is so glad that Chesterfield county finally reopened their government schools. She said how difficult it is for children that age to get educated at home on a computer and how much better they are now doing. Talked about how difficult wearing a mask all day has been...she was not complaining, just sharing how her family has been affected.

Charging up my generator battery today...heard my across the road neighbor running his generator yesterday evening...getting ready for whatever weather comes our way. His cows have recently calved, so was fun seeing the calves playing and running around way back on the hill. This morning ice storms of severe destruction were forecast...now sounds like the polar air will come further south and we may be lucky with just snow...but not good news for others south of us.

Had a good hike and brought in 5 wheelbarrows of wood, since ground too soft for the tractor.

Hope everything goes well for your DIL L4N

She may be coming home tomorrow. She has to watch her water intake (which doesn't make any sense to me) and cut the salt down a lot. She is British and what Brit doesn't put a lot of salt on their fries.

My confirmation said 2022 for our area, but I let the come first served trigger me. I can park $99 for a bit. Gives me hope.
