Adding pages to reminiscing.

I have added a couple more sections under Reminiscing but have not made the announcement publicly yet.  I will wait until I have finished to 2008 the year that I retired.

Well, the weather forecast has come true - we did get our freezing rain over night and a bit of a drizzle during the day.  It does not look very nice out there.  A good day to stay indoors for sure

I get e-mail ads from Royal Caribbean on an almost daily basis so have been looking at cruises for 2020.  Already! You can't start too early and everything is on sale with 60% off the second traveller.   I see a couple of 10 and 11 night cruises out of Fort Lauderdale for March but also some 7 night one out of Tampa.  Checking the prices a back to back out of Tampa for 14 nights in total is only slightly more than a 10 or 11 night out of Fort Lauderdale.  The only problem with the Tampa ones would be visiting pretty much the same ports.  Will have to check with 'The Boss' about that.

Finally

Yes I have finally made it back on here.  I certainly do not know where the time goes but it just does seem to flit away sometimes.

I am getting back at the reminiscing again and have copied all of the previous entries and will be adding them under a new menu heading of Reminiscing.  I think that makes a bit more sense than adding them kind of willy-nilly as blog entries.

Once I get the separate write-ups entered I will add a couple of photos as well.

Our days are drawing closer to our next cruise.  We well be leaving here on the 06 March to drive to Florida, spend a couple of days with our friends there and do some bird watching and sight seeing.  Then proceed to Fort Lauderdale for a 10 night cruise to the Easter Caribbean retuning on 25 March.  From there a drive home with a stop over in North Carolina to visit some newly found relatives.  Back hope and hopefully this year the snow and cold will be gone.

I have started some hydroponics again and the first batch of herbs are doing quite well.  A second batch has been started and coming along as well as a few in soil as well. 

I am debating on starting seeds before we head south or wait until I get back.  Everything you read about starting seeds for transplanting is start 6 to 8 weeks before transplanting which would be the middle of March.  Beginning at the first of March would be about 10 weeks before transplant.  I have done that in the past and the results vary.  Will just have to wait and see how I feel the last week in the month or the first week next month.

Sadly I have become a "fair weather" runner.  This winter has been brutal for running with the sidewalks covered in ice and snow and the roads not much better. To make up for that I have started a more or less regular walking routine which should help.  I am planning on doing some treadmill running on the ship.

I have finally signed up for my two races of the year - the 5K in the Tamarack Race Weekend in May and the 5K Army Run in September.  I did very well last year and hope to be able to do the same this year.  Of course I would be happier to beat last year's times.

​That should be about if for now.
