Kathe, where do you live in Ontario?

I MIGHT be in Ottawa for a couple days in October while Tom is there for business. I don't want to make plans now since I may not be coming, but IF you lived near there, and IF I come, maybe we could get together for coffee?

And, yup, we each grieve in our own way.

Oh yes, one more thing. In the mail today came My Cruise Travel Kit for our Thanksgiving Cruise. Although it was very neat to get....just no where near as exciting as getting the one for our trip!!

Ontario is such a huge Province. It really came home to me when Tom had a conference in Toronto several years ago and we drove there by going north of Lake Erie and Lake Ontario!

I forgot about your WDW trip. That trumps coffee anyday!

The above site is where I found the picture and text below. I do not know why it will not post the picture so I copied it and saved it.
BUT It's US again!!

The Disney Magic cruise ship returned to the Port of Los Angeles this morning (May 25), making it easier than ever for guests residing in Southern California to experience Disney Cruise Line’s highly popular seven-night cruises to the Mexican Riviera. The ship is on the West Coast for a limited engagement, sailing just 12 cruises this summer. The ship is scheduled to sail back to Port Canaveral, Fla. on Aug. 17.

How yucky!

What a shame you could not enjoy your time there. How did you find out about the camera?

Too bad there is no one-way glass or a sheer curtain or something. I have never done it (obviously--I did not even know where they were) so have no idea what would work but if they can have a screen on the stage that looks solid when lit from the front but can be seen through when the lights are on in the back, could they do something like that for these villas?

Jan

I looked up and saw a man with a huge telephoto lense. I know he wasn't trained on us, but he did turn towards us and I also saw some women chatting and looking down.

 

[JLSE50]

Is anyone familiar with this site?
http://www.dclnews.com/Default.aspx

Over on the left hand side is a calendar and under it is a box that says "Calendar Legend" with colored ships representing the WONDER, Eastern Caribbean itinerary, Western Caribbean itinerary and DCL Special Cruises.

It looks like one should click on a colored ship or the words to find out when those events are occurring but I cannot make anything like that happen.

If anyone knows the secret, please let me know.

THANKS!

PEOPLE ON THE SHIP were watching? or COULD have watched?

I thought you meant someone in a port, at a hotel or home or business near the pier was watching.

icky.

So sorry to hear this.

Yes, I found it to be very tactless on their part. As I said, I'm not doing the Villa again. For those prices it should be very private.

I always grill bacon and then you can have it as crisp as you like. However, it often sets the smoke alarm off!!!
Mmmm, bacon butties!!!
I did wonder if that was Barbara. Hi Barbara.

Ohhhh... Marilyn... I knew we were friends and now the bacon part... soulmates...except for Deborah below who likes it crispy like me!!!

And it's not mom... but she says HI! back and hopes to see you in Dec!!!

Good Morning All! Today is another beautiful summer day.....hot hot hot!

I'm taking Ray to a doctor appointment later and my brother has headed south for Jacksonville already......wish I was going. Oh well, soon......two more months.

This Saturday would have been mom's 75th birthday. It might be a bad day for me. Getting through this first year has been the hardest. Just when you think you're over one hurdle another one comes along. Then I have the one year anniversary of her death at the end of this month. And then I'm happy that I'll be past the one year mark and hopefully, time will help it get better.

Deb... I don't know what I will do when it's mom's time. I dread it. Just try to remember all the wonderful times you had and cherish them on that day and remember how blessed you were to have them!!!

I love Bacon Roll with bacon crispy yummie and I love to grill it until fat turn to crispy.

Scottishwee35

Ohhhhhhhhhh Deborah... I think you might have just topped Marilyn!!! With the bacon I mean... I still love you BOTH as friends!!!

You're going to feel what you're going to feel. I think it does get easier with time.

I sometimes think we have very high expectations of ourselves and have more patience with machines than we do with ourselves. Our feelings are all part of being human.

Please do not misconstrue this as a criticism. I am just waxing philosophically this morning.

The Victorians perhaps were wiser (if not a bit morbid) but they seemed to accept all feelings almost as we accept changes in the weather.

I often wonder, at what point in time, at what year, at what moment, did we as a culture become uncomfortable with feelings that are anything less than upbeat and happy?

Grief is a very natural process, not necessarily comfortable, but natural.

I just had the anniversary of my mother's death and the anniversary of my father's death is coming up next week.

I find it is best to just go with the flow, feel what you feel, and accept the comfort of the loved ones around you.

Ian...you are my resident philosophist... (if there is even a word like that...) Your words are very real.

I love bacon too!!!

Us in the channel on our way to the ATLANTIC on OUR CRUISE!! May 10, 2008

Jan

Yup... I told ya... that's me up on the deck... I just know it...

They're the Vista Spa Villas, which overlook open water (except in port, where they overlook prying cameras).

Woody

And Woody... how would YOU know???

OK guys, I'm off to wedding number 1. Have a good weekend, will check in if I can... not taking the big computer this trip.

Have a good trip Kelly!!!

yes I would have to agree with this, especially the ( ) I was highly disappointed while in the hot tub during our couples time in the Villa that a long lense camera was trained on us. It was frankly quite rude. I won't use the Villa again. It really blew the mellow I had and creeped me out.

What port was this in??? Next time book a sea day... Tell them you're ROYAL !!!!

It's probably in your siggy which I can't see after I clicked Quote... but what cruise are you going on????

Want to take us with you???

Tonight's tale is a tale of pasta ...

Sukie and I went grocery shopping. We went to our local supermarket rather than the one up in Evanston (not that any of you have the vaguest idea where Evanston is).

We were in the natural foods section and Sukie decided he wanted to try a brand of pasta called "Amish Naturals."

I said, wait a minute ... since when do the Amish make pasta?

Sukie read the box, I nearly fell over at the phrase "...the sort of pasta you would expect to find in an Amish kitchen."

I said, "I wouldn't expect to find Italian pasta in an Amish kitchen."

Sukie was adamant that he wanted the "Amish Naturals" pasta. I gave in, but then suggested we go see if they had any Amish light bulbs.

Was the box quilted?

Congratulations! How can you show such patience?

She's leaving... and going to a resort... but I would have at least ripped the box open before I left and left it strewn across the living room floor...

Thanks Monica.

Finding these posts from you and Holly after the funeral is such a HUG! And I need that!!

Jan

Jan.....

See, I KNEW someone who had ACTUALLY BEEN THERE should answer the question. I thought the Vista Spa Villas were only on the Port side of the ship.

Jan

If they were... it wouldn't be good - I was on the port side and we often faced the pier... or the port... oh whatever..

Deb and Ian
I believe that everyone needs to learn to grieve in their own way, there is no set rule. It has taken me a long time to be able to really talk about my DH , it was just too painful for a long time. I find some people are so uncomfortable they don't want to talk about it at all, while others just know what and when to say the right thing. I don't judge people on this. I have learned that my children both grieve differently too. Of course their loss is of a parent rather than a spouse and there are real differences. But it has been a little easier the last couple of years since we have accepted that we all need to grieve in our own way.What is happening in our lives also affects the way we feel, some years we grieve and miss him even more, and I think that will be how it will always be. Last year, was harder than the year before because it was the year my daughter was married and the year my son became a father.

Kathe... Very well said...

& with that I am off early...

Hi ladies!!!! (Marilyn and Deborah!!!)

to you, Deb. I can relate to the one year thing. It was a huge relief to me when the first year had passed and all those "firsts" we over and done with.

I put in a on cookie sheet and baked it at 400 for 10 minutes and I checked it. One cookie sheet was done the other took a couple more minutes. I use the thin bacon and I like it crisp. I did see some recipes use a rack like for cooling cookies. I didn't have one but this worked fine.

What do you do about the grease? Doesn't it drip off the cookie sheet?

yes I would have to agree with this, especially the ( ) I was highly disappointed while in the hot tub during our couples time in the Villa that a long lense camera was trained on us. It was frankly quite rude. I won't use the Villa again. It really blew the mellow I had and creeped me out.

Creepy!

Gotta head home and grill some chicken tonight....yummmm.

Jackie, I hope you got your chicken grilled before the storm hit! I had quite a harrowing drive down I17 tonight!

Kathe

Kathe, I know what you mean it and exactly same with me grieve for my mum and dad. They died when I was young. At that times my brother and I couldn't talking about it. And we couldn't talk about Cancer which they died of.

Now my brother and I opened up about our grieves. When my son born, I cried for my mum.

I see that you said that it was harder for your family. Sometime life so cruel.
