To  Vancouver  9/5/25

Day 1.  Friday....our  flights were great and on time and we made it to Vancouver with 10 minutes to spare with connection. It really helps to have a wheelchair. Arriving at Vancouver motel at 1:00 a.m. our time. 

Vancouver and Princess Sapphire 

Day 2 Saturday. 9/6/25

It was a really long day but we did very well. We got a shuttle from the motel to the airport. We took a taxi because neither one of us could walk very well and the Princess Cruise paid for him to take us to the port. They even take you in a wheelchair and put us in the waiting area till we got into our room. It's 75° we're hot because we had long pants and long sleeve shirts thinking it would be cold today. We are trying to learn our way around and always lost on this ship. It's little but it's just not laid out to say if your aft or forward.  We're having trouble remembering or are we losing our mind. We had a really good dinner and a really good breakfast this morning before we left so we were good with food today. We're now in the middle of somewhere before we get to Kitchican on Monday. We're really doing well and love it so far. It's been so warm and it's so calm and lots of people and everybody right now is real happy and older. Older people, not the young  snappers one baby that we've seen so far. We heard whales in the dark go by the ship.

Day 3.          9/7/25 Sunday

DAY AT SEA

We had a long day but fun. It was 7:00 this morning when we got up. Bummer! We had breakfast in the room which was pretty good and then got ready to start today's activities. At 8:30 we had naturals Alaska's wildlife and right after that was shore excursion live tour presentation and then we went to $1,000 onboard shopping spree which ended up being pretty much all diamonds. We were going to go do arts and crafts we decided not to. We went to how to increase your metabolism instead, we were going to go to deal or no deal. Didn't make it number one. We got lost number two.  We wouldn't get there on time so we decided at 3:00 we'd go to afternoon tea which was absolutely excellent. We've done that before. After that we went to Qatar and vocals with Gideon. we sat in on a how to walk or how to move your body on metabolism or a couple other little things that you learn about. Lot of it was everything's in your feet so that would ended up being really good. We didn't even have lunch. Didn't think about it. I guess the tea and little cakes was lunch. We did go to a small little band that was doing tribute to Abba which was really good. I had a brand new drink which had vodka and other booze. I bartender  had no idea how she made it . Then we went to Bravo and was that very good? It was songs from the movies. It was really good and now we're trying to get ready for bed and get ready for tomorrow morning. We're going to be in Ketchikan. 

We had a good sunrise for a little bit, but it is so fog right now and there's supposed to be some real good auroras and that's not going to happen. Last night we were kept  awake by the Foghorn every 90 seconds from our ship that had to blow it to be in law with the Marine Rules.

We're staying really busy as you know I will and Mary is too.  I do have pictures up and I kept the blog going. I keep losing Wi-Fi and I keep having the concierge keep my phone  on Wi-Fi. 

Day 4. 9/8/25. Set clock back another hour Kitchican 

CRABS

We had a great day from the time we got up to time of going to bed which was late. We got up early. Got everything done and ready for the bus at 10:20. We went to George inlet and had crabs and boy did we have some. That was the most fun. I ate 19 Crab legs. They weren't the king crabs. They were just the smaller crabs. Sure was good that took us to 1:00. We were back on the ship and took  took off at 2:00.

We went back to the room to rest just a few minutes and then was on the go again with somebody that was singing, visiting some shops and had ice cream which spoiled our supper so we didn't go until 7:00. That's late for both of us. Came back to  the room and watched gorgeous scenery going past it but still no whales. I was looking through binoculars and saw little bear climb a tree that was kind of neat but it was too far away for the naked eye. We're going through a whole bunch of islands. It's getting a little chilly at 60° so we came in and went downstairs to eat and then a show that was really good. It was a guy that just did all kinds of things he sang and played with the audience.  We're now ready for bed and ready for a big day tomorrow in Juneau 

DAY 5,  9/9/25.  Juneau gold panning

We had a great time today. It was busy. We got up, had breakfast and headed out for the gold panning. They say to dress warm. We did and it was perfect. We dressed just perfect for 50° weather. A lot went into gold  Panning, it was amazing. 

We got back at 1:00. There was so much more we could do in Juneau so we decided to look around downtown and saw Booth that said whale  sightings. Guaranteed for a sighting come on with us now and it was only 169 bucks so we did it. We didn't have anything with us except what we wore. Didn't take a backpack with water etc. just winged it. We got to see about six whales. A Whole lot of other boats are out there at the same time. I was kind of interesting. It was kind of raining Misty and the air was cold but we were still dressed for it. I'm glad I didn't go gold mining for a living. That was scary coming back in though,  the boat had a whole lot of trouble. It looked like the broken  alternator belt. Three gals we're running the boat. She did a good job bringing the boat to the dock. It just made us late for our dinner. We finally got back to the ship and had dinner an hour and a half later.

One thing that's been happening I can't walk real well and  can barely get up to stand up due to my knees and everybody's so kind. They Let us go forward or help me, this guy Helped  me get the off the pier so I wouldn't fall into the water. It's been amazing what some people do for you. 

We had dinner , had a drink and went to the room to go to bed. We'll Grab a very early breakfast in the  morning tomorrow and have a very long day on a train. 

DAY 6.   9/10/25. Skagway train to white pass

We got up 2 hours earlier this morning to do something that was really worth it. We went on a train to white pass,  up in the mountains. It's real, foggy, cloudy and rainy but it was well worth the trip. It's so cool. I have over 300 pictures I'm going through. But first I have to wait for them to download to Google. I Have a bunch of videos of waterfalls and different things like the the rivers and the granite. That is just superb.

Since it was raining, we didn't do anything more but go back up to the room and watch people walk in the rain to their ship.  We went to see the  guy that won the Iterarod in 2023 with his dogs that he trained and he brought little puppies that everybody could see with him so it was a packed place. I don't know why they hold these things in such a tight little place, but it's driving me nuts. They've done that before. It's one of the things I'm going to complain about. This ship is laid out pretty well and I like it a lot. It'd be hard to choose from Royal Caribbean or Princess. I'm Very pleased with it.

We went  to dinner than to the show tonight which wasn't nearly as good as Monday nights show.

So far we haven't found the Sun. It's still disappearing and there's no Aurora because there's no stars. It's just clouds and a lot of them. 

I worked on pictures after the show tonight,  but still have a lot to sort out. I'm posting everything I took and will delete later. I'll also label them so you can tell what it is. 

Tomorrow is going to be special. 

DAY 7.. 9/11/25. Glacier Bay

Today was a highlight. Well, at least for right now. We still have a couple days yet to go. 

Today was the highlight of the week, so far. That can change we have till 17th before going home. We went to glacier Bay today and saw a lot of melting glaciers. It rained all morning. The temp is 61 but felt colder. Fabulous sightings. The sun came out later and we had park rangers on the ship to tell details about the glaciers. It took all day and we're headed to another area of glaciers tomorrow. It's been a fabulous day. I'll post the picts later tonight they have to download to Google. It's been a very relaxing day. 

I'm posting pictures as I take them but there's so many that it takes awhile with slow wifi.

We had dinner at 7 and called a night. We started rocking and rolling with some high seas about 3:00. It's not as bad as some trips that we've had, but at least we feel it. Makes it hard to walk but it's fun trying to stay up on two feet. We skipped the show tonight and we have to pack tomorrow. Got other things that we have planned So stay tuned. I'm still working on commenting on each picture that might take a while.

 Day 8... 9/12/25. College afjord

It's still cloudy.  Temps  around 55°. We'd all like to see the sun again. We're beginning to think there isn't one. 

We arrived at college fjord around 6:00pm and what a beauty the fog lifted. Just enough to be able to see all glaciers. They named them one by one but I never did get all the names. We'll have to look up a chart with all the names on it. I took photos of them all and they're all on the the website for photos which is listed on top of the blog.

We had a really great dinner and then went to bed because we had to be up by 6:00 a.m. Tomorrow morning. It was a very  relaxing day of packing unpacking packing because we had to have two separate suitcases to take with us to Denali that was hard to pack. What do you keep with you at all times and  what gets shipped on into Anchorage. 

Day 9...9/13/25.  Train to Denali 

We had to be up and out of the ship room by 7:00 this morning so we're pretty tired tonight. What a day this has been. The sun came out about 10:00 and we were on the train by 9:00 :00. So it looked gorgeous just from the start and we saw four eagles and some swans. Nothing major. I was really hoping for a moose but that didn't happen but we had a really wonderful time and it was 10 hours on the the train instead of the five that they told us. We did get two meals out of it though. 

I took over 350 pictures and they're downloading so it'll be a while before I get that done so I can post them. I put them directly to Google then I'll able to copy to the Alaska album. We did get to see Mt. McKinley so we're thrilled about that. Plus almost every mountain range there is. There was a couple with the tippy tops that was in the clouds, but well worth it. They had a 2 to 4 in of brand new snow in the top of these mountains up here in Denali so that made it really special. But oh, is it cold? We went from 50° to 31. We aren't sure tonight. We got here at about 9:00 pm. We went to get something to eat before we did anything else before the restaurant closed. This is the place that's owned by by Princess so everything's geared to only passengers for Princess. Pretty nice. We're now in the motel room for the next three nights and I've set up a text for Aurora's if they happen. That way I don't have to wake up every half hour looking out the window. It's cloudy tonight so I doubt if we see them but you never know. We have  4 days coming up with all kinds of things to do so we'll see what happens.

Day 10....9/14/25. History and puppies

We got up early and tried to find breakfast, that wasn't easy because one of the restaurants was closed. We finally went to the main building and got a little snack thing because we had to be on the bus 9:30 for a history tour of Alaska. They really know how to do it here. They do very very well with explaining. We even got to talk to a native that's been here and he  said they're losing a lot of their languages and teachings of the past really good. We also went to the tundra. That was really neat. Were looking for animals and of course we still haven't seen moose or a bear 

There hasn't been our much round but things are closing fast every time something comes up. Oh this is my last trip or this is my last meeting with everybody and the trains are starting to shut down and the buses are shutting down. It's just really getting quiet around here. It was 24° when we got up and it was 48 tonight. It's really nice. It's kind of drizzly which means it's snowing in the mountains again. Boy is that ever pretty? I've got a whole lot of pictures I'm putting up today again so please check them out. Let me know if you're not getting  them because you have to have the Google photos and I thought you had it from the last trip.

Tonight we got to play with puppies that were on the Iterarod. Lady and her husband and the kids all have a bunch of dogs and they train and they've been in the  race a few times. Very very informative day.

Remember you can still get on Google maps and follow me wherever I go so you got me on that too. Today you see that I went way up the mountains way up. Or maybe not, there's no phone or wifi once we travel. 

Getting down the last day of doing things is tomorrow and we decided to go to a musical at another hotel so we'll be doing that. It's Holland American. 

I guess the cruise ships built these cool resorts. Just  more expensive to eat. I'll tell you that. Guess that's it for today. I'm tired at 11:00. We got to be back up and out the door by 8:00 in the morning 

Packing, Thinking, Repacking - Birthday Party

 Shalimar, FL   (Hi  85  Lo 70)

Yep, final packing for Alaska on Friday. I'll post if I can, but not taking the computer and not sure if I want to work with the phone for posting the blog for next weekend. I'll take notes and have a thousand pictures for the next blog. Watch for the next blog a week later then normal. 

This week was mainly crocheting. Not a whole lot going on. It's the end of another month. The weather is still hot but no hurricanes, YET. 

Sunday was a birthday party for Rosie so that's always fun. 

Monday I did WII bowling and I spent the rest of the afternoon crocheting. I'm still with the GBM gals in the evening. We always have a great time laughing and learn from each other the hardships we do while alone. We have a great bond. 

Tuesday was diamond art and inner wellness which was a class on "poop". The gut runs your life so whatever is wrong in how you feel starts there. Netflix has a whole documentary on the gut so we watched that, which is very informative. 

Wednesday was the last class on learning the muscles to get up off the floor. I'm doing a lot better with thighs being stronger, now to keep up with the exercises so it gets even better. I'm still having trouble with the knees. In late afternoon I had my massage and chiropractor. I can now move my neck again. I'm so glad to get rid of headaches between the two of them. 

Thursday was a whole day of crocheting. I'm making eight turtles for an order and I got another one done. I should have them all by Monday. Another order done. 

Friday I had a zoom class  and crocheted then NC zoom.  Nothing new there. 

Saturday Muggy and rainy part of the day. I crocheted and watched a bunch of documentaries on Youtube. The bad thing of not doing a lot, I eat all the time.  I did get more Hellofresh meals so I could put a few of the meals in the freezer for when I get back. They're getting new meals and I'm anxious to see what they'll be like. The only problem I have with the company is not getting my favorites very often. If I REALLY want to, I'd go buy the ingredients and make them, but ah, no I hate shopping. 

IF anything is new and exciting I'll post before I leave on Friday. Otherwise I'll post another blog about Alaska trip on the 15th of September.  Till then........

Seminar with Brain Surgeon - Storms

Shalimar, FL  (Hi 88    Lo 74)

Monday was great!  I started with the season of WII bowling, same scores as last season, to just let you know 178 high, it's as if I didn't stop playing for a few months. In the afternoon we had Dr. Samuel Critides with us for a seminar about brains and what happens when you fall or have things happen with the brain when you're older. He was very "down to earth" explaining things and I asked when it was over if he has dealt with Glioblastoma, which is what Jim died with. There's no cure, depends on what side of the brain the tumor or "spot" is located and if they can remove by surgery but no one lives a long life and it's still under the microscope on why. If anything happens that I need a brain surgeon, he'd be the one I call. He's here in Ft. Walton Beach, FL 

Tuesday was the regular diamond art and meditation. I worked on crochet when I got home. Here's the

    latest. Baseball gnomes, this one is Boston, with little bats. 

Wednesday was a busy day! I had a workshop of estate planning in another village but only four people showed up. It's going to be hard to get everyone on the same page here, but gives me something to do. The rest of the day and evening I was on zoom. I will be spending more and more time on zooms with a variety of things. 

Thursday I didn't go to crochet this week but did a couple zooms back to back. I did play cards in the evening.  We had a big storm with the electricity going out a few times and lots of lighting and booming thunder. Pouring rain.  I had just got in from getting a few grocery's and taking a neighbor on an errand. We just made it in the door before it poured. 

Friday I took some time to do some good housecleaning. I sat outside a bit but it was too hot. The humidity was so high and later in the afternoon the storms came again. There were a couple that went north, so it wasn't as bad as yesterday.  I had three zooms  so didn't go to cards. I'm changing it up a bit. 

Saturday it rained almost all day. I crocheted and didn't go anywhere till 4:30 for a car show. There were a few cars that stayed in-between showers, at least no hard storms today. There was also a sock hop. I helped get it ready but didn't help with decorating the room or go to it. 

                  I was cutting out the decorations for the windows. (Click on the photos to enlarge).

One of the cars dedicated to the military. Over 800 hours of work.

Those that had Vintage cars

It brings back memories with all the car shows I did with Jim. I really like going it's neat to see a lot of the old cars "still run". These were driven to the community. It's a lot of work to have a car in a show to try to win a trophy. 

I took pictures of the decorations of the room before anyone got there. If someone posts pictures, I'll include them. 

Cotton candy machine

Popcorn

Hamburger and Hot dog stand

Area to take pictures

It's another week. The sunset in the trees was gorgeous. I thought I'd share, looks like fire in the woods. 

Crocheting - Training to Get UP

 Shalimar, FL  (Hi 91   Lo 78)  High humidity 110 index

It's been HOT all week and I usually don't mention that, but humidity is hard on the lungs. I'm happy that I don't have to get out in it. 

This is going to be a short blog. All I did most of the week is zoom's, Tiktok and crochet. I did get out for the evening playing cards with the gals.

Tuesday was diamond art and than meditation with a  few new people this week. I thought about going to the gym, but I like doing the bike and two people were already on them and I didn't want to wait the  hour to get on.  

Wednesday I went to training on how to get up if I fall.  The guy that teaches it is very careful on what we do so we don't overdo it or have the wrong angle with how we put our legs and feet. I was working the knees that shoots a lot of pain, now I use the thighs. 

                                Most of us can't get up from a chair without hands so this is how you do it. 

The idea is to get up when you fall from the floor and learn to strengthen the muscles you use to do that. 

Thursday was crochet group for three hours and Friday was coffee talk. It's different from the first time I went with the new activities people. I love it and will go back. (Click on the photos to enlarge). I'm on the left. 

Friday night I had zoom with the NC group, still doing it from 1999 when we first met in a restaurant in NC.

Saturday I had zoom class than to the social hour. I forgot to take a picture, but it's with the same group that I've taken a lot of pictures previously. I watched the storm chasers in Iowa with a huge storm, but no tornadoes. This is over Dubuque, Iowa

                                            This is from earlier in the year. Lots of vortexes. 

Now keeping an eye out for the hurricane, CAT 5 in Atlantic, but it's going north. It's not going to bother us, THIS TIME. 

Is it Real or Memorex - Memorial - Collage

 Shalimar, FL   (Hi  88  Lo  75)  Out of the 90's

Everything is AI, is it real or Memorex, remember that commercial?  I've read a few things with AI that I KNOW isn't right (from experience) and the new videos aren't real in some cases. Be careful out there and know the truth before spreading the info.  While I'm on a tant, here's another one.  I've been working with the GBM gals in a zoom with people losing their husbands. Most of the gals are a lot younger than me and want to date. The scamming going on is breathtaking. Guys are smooth talking to the gals that are lonely and say the right things to get them later (not right away) to sell the house and move to apartment, spending or taking their money in sly ways then leaving them when the money is gone. I feel so sorry for them. Don't fall for it. Keep your money to yourself. It's really sad how this is happening. I don't usually do a full scale complaint on the blog, but it's getting so much worse that everyone needs to be aware.  

Ok on to a brighter note: Sunday we had our birthday ice cream social. We're trying to bribe people out of their apartments, who can turn down ice cream?  It didn't happen but we'll keep trying.           

Monday morning I went to a neighbors memorial. It was well done and several people went. We have a chapel and a reception building next door. It's convenient to everyone for both Catholics and Protestants. 

Tuesday was diamond art and meditation. I also worked with my travel companion for the Alaska cruise trying to get the excursions right. Princess took me off one of them and we finally got me back on, but charged one of us again and a different amount than the first time. We'll continue fighting, but I have a feeling it's going to be a mess. Hopefully we can work it out, even if we're on the ship. We both still have to do the mobile sign in which is a duplicate of what we've put into the Princess website. I can't believe we're having so much trouble with Princess, we can't get answers to anything. I got a haircut later in the day. So I'm good to go for several weeks. 

Wednesday was different. Training for falls was in the morning. I still can't get off a chair without using my arms, so I went to PT to ask how to do that and what exercises to do.  The guy wants me to do PT with him. I saw that coming. I need a referral and so far I haven't been able to get hold of my doctor, but I'm not doing anything now it's too close to the cruise to worry about it. The knees are a big problem, but we'll see what happens next month.  The rest of the day I had several things at the same time. Working on the decorations for the sock hop didn't happen, I did TikTok and Instagram instead. I did play cards in the evening.    

Thursday I went to crochet group for a couple hours then the activities meeting. We're planning for September, some good stuff coming up.  I played cards for awhile. 

Friday was zoom all day. All kinds of things are going on with classes and meeting with friends. 

I did get two football gnomes. This time it's Kansas City. 

I also got almost all the people in our Village one on the collage. I'm missing six people.

 I took this bulletin board of all the activities we can do this month. If you can't find something to do, it's not their fault. I have to pick and choose along with what I do normally. 

Saturday: IFalcon is a team of computer geeks from Eglin AFB base that help us "old folks" with our computers. They came today to show how to upgrade our PC's to Windows 11. I have a new PC so I wasn't there for that, I wanted to get my files back to where were before OneDrive decided to take them. I'm not going into specifics, most people won't know what I'm talking about. It took 4 hours to figure it out and I'm still dealing with it. I lost a lot of my files that I can't recover, but I'll figure out something but won't create them unless forced to. He had five computers so people could have hands on to learn to upgrade. We're so thankful they're willing to come help us for free.  Management had food for lunch, this is Mary. 

Thank you for being a reader. I wanted to put this picture in from one of the storms that went thru. 

Heat - Projects - Storms and Earthquakes

 Shalimar, FL  (H 91  Lo  78)  Heat index 105-110

I never complain about heat, I love it, but this week has been brutal. I feel so bad for those that are working outside all day. The humidity is high and feels like your going in a sauna when you step outside. It's Florida in the summer, but seems a lot hotter with humidity this year. I'm really close to the bay, and surprised there's not more of a breeze coming in. 

We're into August!  I leave for Alaska in four weeks. I'm packed, at least on paper. A long list of have to take items and mostly warm clothes. I get cold at 65, and I KNOW it will be colder then that the beginning of September. We're still dealing with the excursions on what we have, they keep changing the price. 

Projects this week on crocheting is more gnomes for football. The big and little is working out great. I'll do that with all the teams I'm making.  

I did some podcasts on Sunday. I learned some more on the One Drive problem. I think I have most of that solved. It's a pain to get around it, but so far I'm finding my "lost files". I went to "ask Leo" to get some answers. That guy has been around a long time doing computer stuff. Jim used to listen to him every time he was on TV or radio. He's the one that started Twit.

All week I've been watching the storm chasers in the north states, Montana, ND and SD.  There's been a few tornadoes. Then I was watching the earthquakes out of Japan, bunches of swarms. I have youtube "Earthmaster" on most of the day when there's action. He kept saying there would be a bigger quake and 11 days later there was an 8.8.  That's not unheard of, but bigger then normal. Now I'm keeping an eye on the circle of fire around the Pacific to see where swarms will be forming. Mother Earth is shifting and cleaning up. 

I've been working on the beginning of the month meeting for the Village and still working on the collage. It's coming along nicely.  I've been doing a lot of tiktok and Instagram along with Youtube podcasts. I learn a lot about health and life in general. Some I don't agree with, but good to know what's going and what to avoid. 

Thursday was crocheting all afternoon. The gals are working on baby blankets for this fall and the color schemes are so gorgeous. I hear all about what's going on in the surrounding area from the gals outside the village. It's a great group. 

My friend in Nevada had a guest at her back door that I have to share.  She's looking for food and didn't run when her picture was taken. I love deer. (Click to enlarge photo).

Another friend sent me this puzzle. That's next when I get done with the one I just started. 

The football team in Ft. Walton Beach, came  out and put rock down by the village one lounge. It looks so nice.

Saturday was the monthly meeting. We had a good crowd and all went well. After the meeting another resident and I went to VFW for a craft fair. It was really nice and small.  There's jewelry and creams, some new resin made stuff, clothes, and dog hats and collars. Prices weren't bad, mainly $20 and $35. It gave me what's trending in the craft fairs this year. I still haven't found anyone that does what I do, so far so good. I went to happy hour, then on zoom for the evening and it's time to send the blog out. 

Crocheting for the Craft Fair and Other Crafts- PC Problems

 Shalimar, Fl   (Hi  96  Lo 77)   Rain off and on and high humidity heat index 110 

I still can't get used to the rain and storms around here. It rains and sun is shining. It looks like we'll get a downpour on the radar and it either disappears or goes another direction. It's hard to know what it's going to do. Reminds me of life around here. I plan and something else happens totally different. I learned real quick in the RV living style nothing goes as planned. It keeps us on our toes. 

I'll bring everyone up to date on the crocheting and puzzles I've been working on. I'm working on football gnomes. Here's the list of teams that are most popular.  Alabama college, Tampa, Miami, Atlanta, Dallas, Green Bay, Pittsburgh, Philadelphia, San Francisco. The problem I had was to do little or big gnomes. One of the gals at the crochet club said one of each, so that's what I'm doing. 

                                            

                                          Tampa and Miami I still need to do another one big and little

    

I've also been working on another project. We have a collage in the lounge that needs updated. I decided to redo it and get our village  people in it. Rosie is helping getting pictures and I've been typing names and printing the picture. This is just a start, there's a lot more to get. It's not easy to get everyone.

The other project is puzzles. My neighbor was doing nutcrackers. It's so colorful and fun .

And I was doing a tornado. I still have another one to do but with the funnel. Both will go on the wall. 

This is a real one I took from the TV from a storm chaser. 

Now what have I done this week?  Let's start with Monday I went to United Way to help put kids stuff in a bag. 

                                     It usually doesn't take long and it's a good way to get us altogether.

                        Tuesday was diamond art and I finally finished the picture. It's on a canvas frame

Wednesday was fun. It's usually with an afternoon of cards, but this week I did a TikTok as moderator, then a massage and chiropractor appointment back home in time to do a Youtube where we connect to Youtube and zoom at the same time. I'll have more details on that later.  In the evening I had cards, then zoom with people from the RV world.  Whew, that was fun!

Thursday I went to crochet. It's always a learning experience with so many talented people. I get ideas and learn different things to make.  In the evening I had a class by zoom. 

Friday was the apartment inspection. Every few months they management does inspections, Mainly looking for leaks that people don't report or not know they have a problem.  Dishwashers are checked and under the sinks which is hard to get to for those of us that can't bend down very well to check it. In the afternoon we had a meeting for Style Squad to get ideas for events. This one was for the sock hop in August.  It's going to be fun decorating for the 50's. We came up with good ideas. 

I've been working on my new PC and having a fight with OneDrive. I put it on for  backup  to get my files that are important. I got a notice that it was full.  Ok, no problem I released the sync that I had and everything on the desktop disappeared. It took some doing and help with others (on zoom) to get most if not all of them back. I think it's working, but I'll find out when I need something and can't find it. The files ended up deep in the computer. I hate OneDrive, it's very hard for me to maneuver. I'm on Dropbox, it's easier. 

We had a yard full of toadstools and it looked like a small village. I had to get a picture and share. It popped up really fast.

            I found this saying in the chiropractor office thought it would be neat to end the blog. 

One more thing, watch out for scams. I've got to the point you have to prove it's real and not fake. So much going on with the seniors. Be careful.
