10/24/2009 Bash on the Boat Cruise (I'm with BOB) Chapter #9

[GOS]

Hi Everyone!

Congrats to you Karen 12 lbs is awesome!!!


So I was reading on the other thread that our beautiful Magic is having engine issues again.(forgive me Chris for I have sinned ) Seems at one point they were running off of generators and maybe delayed getting into port tomorrow. I really hope that they can get her all in tip top shape before August.

I'm with you on that one Becky. But as long as we're on the ship..I'm not worried.

Cas - brilliant pages - for some reason your room page reminds me of chocolate - probably the colour, but as soon as I looked at it I wanted to eat chocolate

Good morning Heather

And everybody else of course

Just wanted to let you know that my Dad passed away around 2:30 AM this morning. He died peacefully in his sleep.

I got the call around 3 AM. We went down to the nursing home to be with Mom. We got her up so she could spend some time with him before they took him away.

Mom is doing ok. She's sad at times, but it tends to leave her mind occaisionally. I'm sure she'll be asking where he is from time to time.

It's been very hard, but I have such a feeling of relief. He is finally resting. Calling hours are Wed. evening with a grave side service Thurs. at 11.

We're hanging in there.

Thank you for all of your past support.

Robin

I'm so sorry to hear this Robin.

 

[GOS]

Sure, I could share a few more

Think I will redo this one, not happy at all with the way it came out.

That's all I got for now. I think I will do some more this Saturday night after Kira goes to bed...Rob is DJing so I am all alone and I would like to get some more pages done

My god Cass...they are superb. Put my handmade versions to shame.

 

[GOS]

BETH!

Hope you had a spectacular day! ​

Yep...I missed this one too. Hope you had a great day!

 

[GOS]

Good morning Heather

And everybody else of course

Morning

Only have time for a quick hello right now. Overslept, and Lina and I are heading out the door for Riverwinds, will catch up later.........

So far we're safe but I was a little nervous. We were gone all day yesterday to Fond du Lac, Al's aunt was celebrating being a nun for 50 years so we went to the mass and lunch afterwards and when we got home and I tried to pull up our reservations last night I couldn't view it and got a message saying that our flight was cancelled and to call a certain # to get a refund or reschedule. Of course this was after they were closed at the schedule change desk. I tried calling them whenever I had a chance from work today and kept getting a busy signal. When I got home after hitting redial many times I finally got through and we were rescheduled to flights on the same days, a morning flight going to Orlando on Dec. 19 instead of an afternoon flight and the return flight is at 1:35 instead of 12:15 on Dec. 28. I was very relieved!!! Now they just have to stay in business until after we come home Dec. 28!!!! Car rental rates for that time have sky rocketed since I made our reservations and when I tried to change our Alamo rental on-line it wanted to increase the price by about $400.00 so I called Alamo and they adjusted our arrival and departure times without changing our rate so for now we are set again and not needing to drive in Dec.!

Have you decided what to do with your flights for the repo? They are saying none of the changes take affect until Sept.

Glad to hear you didn't get too affected by the schedule changes.

I wish they'd change our 12:15 to 1:35. That would give us a little more breathing room flying back on Labor Day out of MCO.

Haven't decided what flight to take yet. Suz is like, "why waste the ticket". Ummmm....because I don't trust MW for anything.

If they fly our route and are in business on the 13th, we will probably move the Air Tran flight to spring and then use MW on the morning of the 14th. But after seeing them do this overnight, Sat into Sun, crap with the schedules, I trust nothing from them and won't be surprised if something happens in those 24 hours. I'll be happy when I'm on the ground somewhere on/near the west coast.

As for coming home, I something happens, we'll just push off to Tuesday to fly back. It is cheaper than trying to buy seats on the Holiday.

Morning Jeff

Morning Heather.

I crashed sometime between 9:00 and 9:30 last night, but up at 5:00 to do it all over again.

Hope you're having a great day.

 

[JLDSMD]

Mole Sauce?explain please. I have visions of a furry little animal being blended for a sauce

Don't know if I want to tell you or go to dinner with you in PV (off the ship) and have you order it. The look on your face would be precious as you wait for it to come.

It would make for great pictures here on the BOB.

 

[JLDSMD]

Tuesday morning F.O.

Since it is Tuesday, who do I gladly owe for the hamburger the other day? (o.k., someone has to know who I'm talking about)

 

[JLDSMD]

O.K., here is what Mole Sauce is (from Wikipedia):

Mole poblano
Mole poblano, whose name comes from the Mexican state of Puebla, is a popular sauce in Mexican cuisine and is the mole that most people in the U.S. think of when they think of mole. Mole poblano is prepared with dried chile peppers (commonly ancho, pasilla, mulato and chipotle), ground nuts and/or seeds (almonds, indigenous peanuts, and/or sesame seeds), spices, Mexican chocolate (cacao ground with sugar and cinnamon and occasionally nuts), salt, and a variety of other ingredients including charred avocado leaves, onions, garlic. Dried seasonings such as ground oregano are also used in order to provide a rich thickness to the sauce, bread crumbs or crackers are added to the mix.

Here is a picture of what Enchilada's Mole looks like:

 

[Karen Mouse]

Am I correct thinking its pronounced "mow-lay"?

Didnt know that had nuts in - thanks for the tip - I'm sure I've eaten that in the past

 

[Verandah Man]

I crashed sometime between 9:00 and 9:30 last night, but up at 5:00 to do it all over again.

Hope you're having a great day.

With having that 3 hour nap last night I had the hardest time falling back to sleep. I went to bed at 11pm, the last thing I remember the clock stating was 1:15am, hence the reason I didn't get out of bed until 5:30 this morning.

I guess I will have to wait until later to get caught up here, it's now time to get ready for work.

I did get in a 45 minute 325 calorie burn-off workout this morning. Just as Lina and I were on our way out, her music teacher was coming in, so we had a chat with him for a few minutes.

One more day in the mid 90's with high humidity today, then we are supposed to get a little break with temps in the 80's and lower humidity for the next few days!!!

Since I know what you are talking about Jeff, you can pay me today, for that hamburger, the other day......

 

[Verandah Man]

OK, now I really have to get my rear in gear, talk to ya later.........

 

[cntkg1]

Cool that what she has. She's just amazed by your pages. Thinking she knew her way around that program she just admitted that she must not know how to use it at all.

Laura can join my club Steve. I'm such a rookie at it myself.

Yep...I missed this one too. Hope you had a great day!

When is your birthday Beth? I'll write it down for next year.

Tuesday morning F.O.

Since it is Tuesday, who do I gladly owe for the hamburger the other day? (o.k., someone has to know who I'm talking about)

"Well, blow me down".

Since I know what you are talking about Jeff, you can pay me today, for that hamburger, the other day......

Yes, and for a Hamburger today, I'll glady repay you Tuesday.

Hello Everybody

Hope you all are well.

Lovely weather today and yesterday (about times)

I saw on internet and I cannot image if it was happened to us and how we communicate (we are deaf family apart from hearing son).

Would be nice if it land in Orlando
