April 26
Nothing unusual to report today. Talk number 2 -- Water -- was well-attended
and well-received. My traveling
companion laid out today. It is only the
second time in all of these talks that she has missed. She came back to the room to take a nap while
I was finishing rehearsal. I nudged her
when I was getting ready to go, got a sleepy response, and assured her she
could lay out for this one. And she did.
Interesting at supper tonight -- the table was full, all 6
of us in attendance (Dana and Grayson, Jim and Cheryl, and your favorite
cruisers). All 6 of us are Believers and
we held hands and offered grace. Very
nice!
Great production show tonight on our first formal night of
the cruise. Six dancers -- three boys
and three girls -- and two singers -- one of each -- did a production called
"Lime Light" which featured energetic dancing and beautiful singing
to a number of Broadway and London East End shows. Our favorite was "Mamma Mia" (Super
Trooper, It's a Rich Man's World, Mamma Mia and more). Excellent show that the audience rewarded
with a standing ovation.
And now, hereeeeeeeeeeeeeee's Bonnie!
Well, my day started as all days on board, with a
shower! Following our baths we went up
to nine for breakfast. Hard boiled egg, half English muffin, and hot chocolate
and OJ.
After breakfast I went up on deck 10 to the jogging track
and went around 13 times plus one for good measure. Then down to the room to
pick up my crocheting. Working on Mother's day gifts this cruise. They will be
late but hey it is the thought that counts.
Then, up to the Atrium on Deck 4 to wait for crafts to begin
at 10:15. We finished our little jewelry bag by adding beads with
backstitching. Took me 45 minutes to sew on 5 beads. I am fast! After completing my craft I went outside to
set on deck 5. On one side the spray was blowing and it was wet so I went to
the other side where it was dry. Worked till 12, having to tear out at least
one row of crocheting because I lost my place.
Went back to the room and got David and headed up to lunch.
We opted for the grill. I had a beef knackwurst and he had a bratwurst
("the best of the wurst" -- David). I had sauerkraut on mine with
mustard. We both had fries. Dessert was nutella ice cream and cookies. After
lunch he went to study and I went to crochet. I sat in the Atrium again and
listened to the ukulele practice for about 1/2 hour. I was extremely tired so I
returned to the room and took a nap and slept 2 hours. Missed David's talk.
After his nap we dressed and went to supper, formal night.
So we got all dressed up. Afterwards the first show by the singers and dancers
was on at 8. Very good show. There was one female singer and one male singer
and 6 dancers, 3 male and 3 female ("she didn't read mine before she
started" -- David).
We are now back in our room in our pajamas and writing this
blog. Bedtime soon. No talk tomorrow, we will be in Curacao.
They are celebrating the king's birthday so virtually everything is supposed to
be closed. We will see. Also, in honor of the king's birthday you should wear
orange.
As you can tell this was not a very exciting day.
Night. Love to all.
