Thirty days hath September, April, June, and November. La de da, la de da. And April is almost over. Potato.
To celebrate we rode the North Star today. It is this huge arm with a passenger compartment that swings you up – 350 feet above sea level – and out over the sea. Our earlier scheduled ride was cancelled because, so we were told, the Captain said it was too windy. Today was more windy. But if the Captain says it is, it is. It was fun. Photos to follow.
Tomorrow I am doing “The Lady in Gold,” a brand new talk. Well, I wrote it September 2019, planning to do “The Creators” series in 2020, but we all know how that went. So since Rose, the CPA, asked me if I’d do an extra talk 4 days ago, I’ve been rehearsing. And I’m going to hit the boards again tonight, so my blog part will be short.
But for all of you fancy eaters out there, for dinner tonight I had Baked Potato Soup, Lasagna al Forno, and Warm Apple Tart with vanilla ice cream.
Oh, hey bro. Did you know Google is celebrating Route 66?
Double O. Sunrise in the Windjammer.

Got a letter from Karen today. She and Frank were competing in the senior Olympics again this year but she didn’t tell me if they won any medals this year. Cudos for them for participating.
On to other news when I went up to walk today the decks were wet. Not sure if it rained or they had washed them. So it was squeaky and slippery. I walked around one time and because the temperature was cool I went to the cabin to get my crocheting and a jacket. It is to be colder tomorrow too. We are passing by Gibraltar tonight and into the Mediterranean.
Breakfast was an omelet, toast and tomato juice, and hot chocolate. David came up to deck 14 to meet so we could go to the Windjammer for a salad for lunch. When he got there he was cold and had to go back and get his sweater. I made a taco salad at the taco stand and he made a garden salad in the Windjammer. We enjoyed an ice cream cone in the cold afterwards. He went back to study and I read a chapter in the new book I started. Then, went to the Music Hall for his talk. After that we went up to deck 15 to wait for our turn in the North Star. Our time was 4 o’clock. It was fun but I did kind of hold on to the rail. After that we went back to the room to dress for supper. We both had the lasagna and potato soup but I had coconut cake for dessert.
Last night we had gone to see a video about the making of the highly touted new show called the “Effectors” . It is a story about 4 super heros with a lot of high technology to do the show. Well, tonight we got to see the show. The technology was outstanding, the story not so much. The singing was good, costumes were great.
In one scene they had about 50 or more drones flying in the air at one time. They had changing light colors and they flew out way into the audience. It was awesome. I really wasn’t as impressed with the show as they said I should be. Oh well, we got a real nice color brochure showing all the stuff about Royal Carribean entertainment and etc. Very impressive. We only kept one of them. They also, for what ever reason, gave everyone a black cloth with the Royal Carribean name and emblem on it for cleaning you glasses. We kept both of those.
After the show we made our nightly trip to the Windjammer for my coke, his ice and water and caramel macchiato. Now back in the room. He has studied his Lady in Gold while I played with my kindle. Now we are blogging and then he will study some more.
Hey Amy and Jack the lawn and bushes look great. The camera at the house caught you (a total of 23 times). Hope the strawberries are good.
Girls don’t forget to come to the house and get your Mother’s day gifts next week.
Well, that is all for tonight. Love you all. Miss you. Mom, Granny and Bonnie
Yes I saw it today. Get your kicks on Rt. 66.
