Sea Day - Jewel of the Seas Greek Isles

The next day was a sea day and well ummm we slept until noon.

After we grabbed some lunch we went to walk the ship

Nate is somewhat of a animal whisperer…he’s never met an animal who doesn’t like him or want to come near him.
We were walking the top deck and came across a baby bird struggling to walk. It had fallen out of its nest in the funnel.

Nate gave it water from the tip of his finger and the baby slept for about 5 minutes before flying away. It just needed a nap and some water
Dinner that night was a great menu but we were sat next to an incredibly rude couple which made the meal unenjoyable…we were excited to sleep that night because the next day was Mykonos!

Greek Isles 2019 Formal Night & Chania, Crete

Image
 Time for our first formal night! Once Nate’s clothes showed up he did a quick change and we were ready to go.     According to wiki: Chania is the second largest city in Crete and dates back to 1100BC. The occupied history of the city is rather sad and worth the read...especially the section on World War II....which hit home for us because Nate’s grandmother is Jewish and was forced to leave Austria for China as a teen. We got up at 7 and just caught the sunrise as we went to breakfast   The harbor reminded me a lot of Cabo mixed with a little Malta to be honest.     After finishing our meal and taking advantage of the restaurant’s WC we continued our walking tour through the streets of Chania. We would definitely go back to Crete. It's very different from any other island we have visited and is saturated in history. We got back on the ship, changed, and went to the gym and then Solarium for a snack. sunset on the way to dinner: OOTN:

Spring Break 2017 Day 2

Image
I think I was running on excitement because when my alarm went off that morning at 6:30 I jumped out of bed and started getting ready. Today was Universal Studios! My youngest sister, Hayley, works for Disney AND Universal and offered to get us passes for the day.  I can't tell you what a huge savings that is! Once we got to the park and saw the prices at the gate I was mystified.  How do people afford to pay for these parks?!  And then add on food and all the extras? Just wow. Our hotel offered "continental breakfast" with the room fee. We quickly found out that that meant waffles, fruit, and yogurt....not a completely filling breakfast and very low protein. Luckily I had brought along protein powder, precooked meat and turkey jerky from home. Our hotel room had a nice view of the Four Points Hotel (which my sister later told me she had stayed in and it's not as great as it looks). La Quinta offered a free shuttle to the theme parks so we waited outside for it t...

A Few Of My Favorite Things

So this entry isn't really about a specific craft.  This week I'm trying to focus on positivity, and so, to brighten my day, these are a few of my favorite things to reflect upon: 1) the satisfaction I feel in knowing that something I have made is truly enjoyed by the person receiving it.  Whether that be a card, a trinket box, or a food dish. 2) the fun of curling up on my couch with a blanket and all the lights off except for the Christmas tree.  so peaceful. 3) the peace that never ceases to amaze me while I'm singing in worship 4)I may not have what some consider a lot of friends, but I'm completely blessed with the friends that I do have.  Quality, not quantity. 5) Where I was in my life 3 years ago and where I am now.  What a difference.  Thank you God that I'm never going back there.
