Pour yourself a mug of your favorite morning brew. Pull up a chair and join us for our morning roll call here on the BBB.

    GM~

    Long day yesterday.
    DW's cousin in hospital and has her a bit freaked out. Ugh.
    Welcome home, Dennis and & Kris. Sounds like you all had a great trek!

    Cheers,
    Skipper

    Good morning BBB friends.

    That last bit of airport time is your penance for the cruise, Dennis.

    Cold rain in Tumwater - again. I keep a couple large towels in the garage to make the mostly futile effort to dry Sassy every time she has to go out to do her business. The downside of all that gorgeous golden hair.

    Church this morning, then driving Rita wherever she wants to go. Seahawks play in the late game vs. the Packers. Those two have had some wild finishes in Seattle over the years.

    Mornin' BBB

    Yeah, I was thinking the same thing about Dennis and Kris flying home. Yucky way to cap off a nice cruise.
    I do not know if any of you do Aldi's or not, its a great place for good deals on fresh produce, but their meat is kind of hit or miss. It's a little like a yard sale, you never know what gem you might find. Get there early in the day for best results. I got real lucky once and found a nice vacuum packed boneless rib eye for like $14/lb. It was an inch and half thick, nice marbling, and weighed well over a pound and still came out under $20. Easily enough for two. Their eggs are ridiculously low priced.
    Cold and wintry mix coming over night here in CT. Yeesh.
    It will hit 55 in Monument today.

    BBB OP ;-)

    Good Morning,
    Still have crud, on second round of antibiotics. Staying away from church hopefully not spreading crud.
    Welcome home Dennis and Kris.
    I find Aldi hit and miss, but enjoy their fruit and veggies, make special trips there for their pickles. This week Kroger has Choice bone in rib-eyes for $6.97 lb.
    We've got a warmup this week then artic front comes in Thursday,

    Morning gang

    The Christmas market was a huge success yesterday. Our group supports the clinic and ambulance service. I sold raffle tickets. Most people bought 200peso worth (about $10) I won a dental cleaning at the place I have an appointment on Tuesday.

    Then we had a bake sale, silent auction and vendors rent tables if needed and are supposed to give a percent of their proceeds. I'm guessing our raffle made $2500 dollars. The head of the event will post results later.

    Today there is a 10k/21k run going by our house so we will stay home until it's over. Ron's foot is much improved and he is wanting to go for a walk. I think we should just park in town so the car can be fetched if needed...he wants to go to the 🏜 but the car can be a long way and I'm not driving on those narrow, rough, cactus lined cow paths to rescue him.

    Good morning and greetings from Houston where I'm connecting to DC for another stop in Arlington to help that other group out a bit.

    We did Alaska with Princess, Mary. Had a great time. If you have any questions, let me know.

    Alaska is high on the list of favorite destinations by many cruisers.
