THE NO NAME BLOG

December 4, 2017.  A day like all days.  And you were there.

Now how many of you are old enough to remember that introduction?  Walter Cronkite doing his history show, “You Were There.” 

Okay.  No one remembers except maybe Karen and Frank.

Listen, it’s hard coming up with something witty and clever every night for your personal reading enjoyment.  How many more blogs you receive on this trip will depend on how the ship records Internet usage.  There is absolutely no logic to it (whoever said the human race was logical).  Some nights the same time and the same exercises use up 2 megabytes, other nights 20.  I bought 50 more.  There were a couple of times when that would have made one day’s usage, other days, 5. So who knows?

Having said all of that, I really have nothing else to say.  Good talk.  Good supper.  Good show.  Good night.

Well, our trip is almost over. Sadness. I have enjoyed the trip very much but I also miss you all and am looking forward to seeing you all. That’s all you all since there is more than one of you.

Well, today was a slow day. The ship is rocking a little less. I woke at 5:30. Turning the clocks back makes my body a little crazy. I played on my phone till he woke up a little after 7. He got a bath and I dressed in my walking clothes and we went to breakfast. The sky was blue this morning. He went back to the room afterwards and I retrieved my kindle and headphones and headed out for a walk. ( I have walked 2.1 miles today.) Not a lot of people out so it was a pretty good walk. There was a large cargo ship out on the starboard side and I watched it as I walked . After walking it was back to the room to shower and dress. I decided to sit out on the deck today because it is warm and humid up by the pool. It was chilly but I had my sweater and blanket. I read my newspapers, The Brit, The Canadian and the NY Times, and then crocheted.

He told me to come back at 12 and we would go to lunch. I worked on the baby afghan but I have run out of yarn, so tomorrow I will work on snowmen. We had Mediterrean tomato soup with meatballs.  Though it was pretty hard to find any meatballs. I had one, that I gave to him, and he had one. It was good. After lunch he went to get ready and I went to the theater. Bingo had just started and I watched. The other David was first and he talked about Pearl Harbor Day. He was a little long and your Dad was on right after him.  By the time we got back to the cabin it was almost 4. So we rested and then, got dressed for supper.  Sat at the same table tonight but there was an additional couple and we had met them before also. Nice time. I had chicken noodle soup and the vegetarian dish tonight. Tomatoes stuffed with rice, topped with cheese and put under the broiler. It was actually one of the best meals I have eaten this cruise. Then, there was sugarless cheesecake for dessert.

The show was good and we had the good front row seats in the balcony.

His talk is at 11 tomorrow so it will be a busy morning. Up a little earlier.

Love you all. Mom, Granny and Bonnie
