A Journal to impart knowledge and facts |
July 22, 2015 I'm going to start today to record on a daily basis whatever happens to strike my fancy. So, it is a very cool breezy day. I just posted 5 short book reviews to The Monthly Reading Challenge. I'm suppose to put away some winter wood today from the woodpile outside but I'm playing hookey from work to write so starting this blog will get done. I'm having a daily fight with a flock of English Sparrows that are trying to take over my barn. They are making a terrible mess so they have to go. I have destroyed several nests so far they don't leave but they get out of the barn when I am around. I'm just starting the fight so I guess I don't know how far I have to go to discourage them. I'm trying not to spread myself to thin on WDC because I find so many things that are interesting here and I am trying to work on a new story. I really enjoy sitting at my desk with a cup of tea and reading blogs on WDC. |
May 18,2021 Apondia and Andre in Key West Captain, ever accommodating, put some of us on a shuttle to Key West before we left the states entirely. Who knows perhaps we never will. In spite of the difference of time and space we stopped at Key Largo as well. Captain wanted to stop at Keys Mead. Andre was most excited because it offers a tasting of special fermented alcoholic beverage crafted from Honey. We came away with a bottle and the ways to order on line. Next stop, Key West. (Um, yeah had to urge Andre back into the shuttle. Didn’t take to long.) We visited Shipwreck Treasures Museum on Duval Street and Mel fisher Treasure museum also located on Duval Street.It's a good thing the gold coins were in sealed cases. Andre was very excited about the shiny treasures. Andre went exploring. We found him on Green Street, Key West. He was visiting Fitch Finnegan's Maritime Museum. Guess Andre is a history buff. Back on Duval Street, Andre opted for the Banana Bar, then we also hung out at the Whistle Stop. Hung out literally, I mean Andre hung from the balcony outside and leaped around the high places inside. I did manage to stop him from hanging upside down over the bar. Captain has a way with monkeys. Andre raced him back to the shuttle when it was time to head back to the ship. I made Andre wear a life jacket on the way back. Tomorrow is another day. I’m looking forward to the buffets onboard tonight. Lucky me Andre settled down for a nap in his tree house once back on board. I managed a yoga class and a peaceful time in a lounge chair by a pool reading a book as night spread across the sea. What adventures await us in Cozumel? It's suppose to be casually safe from Covid. |
