Good morning to you all. I see we are supposed to start getting slammed with rain starting Thursday. We will start getting rain tomorrow, but the heavy stuff will be on Thursday and continue through the weekend. It is commissary weekend and military payday weekend so that should be fun.
I am on the toe of the sock so should finish it today. I keep saying that then knit a bit and my shoulder or hands start to hurt and I have to put it down. The wrap is a really easy finish and if I don't want it super long, it can be cast off where it is at as it is well long enough.
We are going to have pot roast and carrots and potatoes for dinner tonight. I will stick it in between noon and 1 PM and it will be ready around 4 for us to eat. I think I will put two rolls on to raise too. I think it will be chicken and noodles for dinner tomorrow night so I need to get the chicken out to thaw and get it in the crockpot.
Jean: Did Bob make it home ok? Your statement about crossing the border reminded me of something Jack told me. He reads the cruise critic website forum everyday, several times a day and he told me he saw that the Western Caribbean cruise leaving Sept 16 (the week before ours) is some kind of a drag queen party cruise. We have a couple from Canada, who are in their 50's-60's and are going on this cruise and I would bet they have no idea their ship is going to be filled with drag queens. They are doing back to back cruises, doing the 16th then will do the cruise with us. Going to be a real surprise for them I would think.
Maggie: We shall see how I do on the ship. I am taking seasick meds, but I don't expect that to be the problem, just the idea of no land. I am amazed at how many people take 3-4 cruises a year. Some of the people that have joined our meet and mingle have 50 or 60 cruises under their belt. That is not going to happen with us. I told Jack if I liked the cruise, we could take one more on the big ship, but that's it. You would think they would get bored with the same activities and shows and stuff all the time. Even with their discounts, I don't see how they afford it.
Susan: It is either feast or famine weather wise. You guys have gotten a lot and most of the country desperately needs rain. It started too late for farmer's crops. I noticed they plowed under the corn already so no corn maze for Halloween for the kids this year.
Well, gotta fix my meds and get the day started. Have a good one. Faye
