In Case You Were interested

Thought you might enjoy seeing a few pics from the cruise

The cruise was a success and we had a great time. The one small bummer (that and the choppy seas due to the weather system hitting California) was that we received little half bottles of wine as part of our excursion in Mexico and as we were returning to the ship fellow passengers absconded with our wine. Yep. It sucked. I complained to Carnival but there wasn’t much they could or would do. They were little $5 bottles of wine they weren’t going to view CCTV footage or anything. Sigh. Oh well it was a small unpleasantness in the scheme of things.

We both earned free cruises during the cruise so you can bet we will be going again in the future.

Tomorrow they are going to start the drywall for our kitchen. It’s the 4th Month Anniversary from our leak being discovered. So up, you know, something is happening.

I’m still on cruise time/dreaming so haven’t gotten anything written yet but there’s tomorrow’s flash

And yes, where I live we are getting a LOT of rain right now. So far my city hasn’t been hit with too much disaster though one of our little mountains called Rocky Peak did have a mudslide. No cars or homes were damaged.

    Like anybody could possibly NOT be interested! pshaw!
    I was wondering if you were being rained on the whole time. Good to see the blue skies.
    And hey, when we first started talking it seemed like there was the repeated danger of fires. So mudslides, I’d think at least, are much preferable to out of control fires and your electric power lines having to be shut down for hours at a time to keep sparks to a minimum. At least with electricity, those repairs can be made!
    Thanks for letting us know.

      Alas mudslides can e pretty damaging to homes too but at least it doesn’t sweep through whole cities like fire can

    I love the photos. Thanks for sharing. I’m glad that you enjoyed your cruise, despite the wine bandits! Yippee on earning another cruise.
    I’m also glad that you are getting your kitchen back together and that your area isn’t getting too much damage from the storm. Some parts are getting slammed apparently. Anne Wheaton on her Instagram page posted a video of the river in LA overflowing those scary (even when dry, in my opinion) concrete banks and just rushing by. I thought of you.

    Mother Nature is not messing around. Yikes!!
