Last sea day this trip

As it turns out, making the decision to get off in San Francisco rather than continue on to Seattle was incredibly easy. Walked down to Guest Services and informed them that I would be departing the ship. Why? Family matters. No problem.

Done! That means that I will miss essentially two sea days plus the second day in SF. No biggie. And probably better that I avoid the trip to NeedlePoint Inc. It is not like I need anymore floss. Even their lovely silks.

Our morning group has decreased by about three and there are another three-four of us getting off tomorrow. We have established an email group – will see how long that lasts.

Meanwhile – what I have managed on these two cruises

1) Finished April’s Mini-village

2) Secret Grove Part 8

3) Starbarks

4) 51% of Fishy goings on

5) 50% of Fowl Mood

6) Parts 1 & 2 of Jeannette Douglas’s 6 Part Travel Series (except for the last 120 stitches of 935 since I was out of thread.

7) Started FineFrog’s Court of Crows – decided I didn’t like it at all and will take out the 200+ stitches and repurpose the fabric for something else. It is ok, but not exciting enough to put the time in…

8) I didn’t touch either of the two Tempting Tangles Tile series, since I prefer just doing those all at once when I get home.

I am packed. Managed to find something to eat in the Garden Cafe. Perhaps I should not be so irritated with all the “gluten free” people as it gives me a greater variety of food during Passover.

About Holly

fiber person - knitter, spinner, weaver who spent 33 years being a military officer to fund the above. And home. And family. Sewing and quilting projects are also in the stash. After living again in Heidelberg after retiring (finally) from the U.S. Army May 2011, we moved to the US ~ Dec 2015. Something about being over 65 and access to health care. It also might have had to do with finding a buyer for our house. Allegedly this will provide me a home base in the same country as our four adult children, all of whom I adore, so that I can drive them totally insane. Considerations of time to knit down the stash…(right, and if you believe that…) and spin and .... There is now actually enough time to do a bit of consulting, editing. Even more amazing - we have only one household again. As long as everyone understands that I still, 40 years into our marriage, don't do kitchens or bathrooms. For that matter, not being a golden retriever, I don't do slippers or newspapers either. I don’t miss either the military or full-time clinical practice. Limiting my public health/travel med/consulting and lecturing to “when I feel like it” has let me happily spend my pension cruising, stash enhancing (oops), arguing with the DH about where we are going to travel next and book buying. Life is good!
